Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element • Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Program The Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Program is a list of transportation projects for which a specific start date and a specific completion date are listed. 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. In 2010, because of lower demand and/or a slower increase in demand on area roadways from the depressed housing market and the pending expiration of concurrency certificates for previously approved developments, it was determined that the Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Program (PTCIP) was no longer needed, and was removed from the CIE. Given the increase in available road capacity from expired projects and moderate pace of development, the PTCIP has not been re -introduced at this time. 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 6.10 identifies capital improvement needs through fiscal year 2020/21 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. Appendix A provides a detailed list of projects associated with each of the comprehensive plan elements as well as those projects associated with individual department capital improvements programs. Not included in Appendix A are projects associated with the Public School Facilities Element. Those projects are found in Appendix C. Detailed capital improvement schedules, which list each improvement project, are provided in each applicable Comprehensive Plan Element or within individual master plans for the respective governmental service.
