For transportation facilities, a delay in construction of a facility which causes the <br />level -of -service of that facility to deteriorate below the adopted minimum level -of -service standard <br />for the roadway will require a comprehensive plan amendment. <br />Policy 5.10: The county shall ensure that all capital improvements identified in the various elements <br />of the Comprehensive Plan are completed according to schedule.
