Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element By extending the time frame of transportation projects, the County can utilize its limited resources to complete priority concurrency related projects within the overall capital improvements program. In effect, the County needs to delay some projects so that other projects will remain fundable with a diminishing County budget. By funding only necessary projects, the County is also maintaining a financially feasible capital improvements element.

As allowed by state law, the County considers the additional capacity to be produced by those roadway improvement projects as being available now for concurrency purposes. As such, a development project impacting a deficient link can proceed despite the deficient link, where a roadway improvement project for the deficient link will be under construction no later than three years after issuance of the first building permit for the development project. Because of lower demand on area roadways from the depressed housing market and the pending expiration of concurrency certificates for previously approved developments, the Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Program is no longer needed, and was removed from the CIE in 2010. Needs Assessment Based on public facility requirements identified in the other comprehensive plan elements, this needs assessment identifies the capital improvements required to provide sufficient infrastructure to meet proposed levels of service for existing and new development. For purposes of the CIE, a capital improvement is a substantial facility (land, building or major equipment) that costs at least $100,000 and may be paid for in phases. Table 6.11 identifies capital improvement needs through fiscal year 2016/17 for conservation & aquifer recharge, emergency services, general services, law enforcement & corrections, recreation and open space, stormwater management, sanitary sewer and potable water, solid waste, transportation, and public schools.
