Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element
<br />According to law, all revenues from capacity charges must be spent on infrastructure improvements
<br />that benefit the payer of the capacity charge. Therefore, capacity charge revenue and expenditure
<br />amounts increase and decrease with development. For that reason, forecasting capacity charge
<br />revenues and expenditures is difficult. That system, however, ensures that new development will not
<br />reduce levels of service below County minimums.
