The Capital Improvements Element is <br />updated annually, so few changes are anticipated to be necessary. A summary of the changes that are proposed for the <br />Capital Improvements Element are as follows. <br />◊ Update Planning Horizon and agency references, e.g., the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) <br />recently rebranded to FloridaCommerce <br />◊ Consider incorporating Peril of Flood reference and/or terminology from Florida Statutes into Objective 2 <br />◊ Duplicative policies (between the Capital Improvements Element and other Elements) were identified, but it was <br />noted that these may be kept without issue for ease of reference <br />◊ Recommend reviewing Policy 3.6 to remove standards not required by state statute if desired <br />These proposed amendments are minor in nature but would improve the accuracy of the Element, ensuring it can be <br />implemented appropriately. A capital improvements plan is a necessary tool in implementing the Comprehensive Plan as a <br />whole, and this will ensure the needs of the community will continue to be addressed and met. <br />Florida Statute Reference: Chapter 163.3177(3)(a) <br />PAGE 79
