CaplW Fadifts <br />GPO 5.3A Priorities Among Types of Public Facilities. Legal restrictions on the use of <br />many revenue sources limit the extent to which types of facilities compete for priority <br />with other types of facilities because they do not compete for the same revenues. All <br />capital improvements that are necessary for achieving and maintaining a standard for <br />levels of service adopted in this Comprehensive Plan are included in the financially <br />feasible schedule of capital improvements contained in this Capital Facilities Plan. The <br />relative priorities among types of public facilities (i.e., roads, sanitary sewer, etc.) were <br />established by adjusting the stmxkrds for levels of service and the available revenues <br />until the resulting public facilities needs became financially feasible. This process is <br />repeated with each update of the Capital Facilities Plan, thus allowing for changes in <br />priorities among types of public facilities. <br />GPO 5.3B Priorities of Capital Improvements Within a Type of Public Facility. Capital <br />improvements within a type of public facility are to be evaluated on the following criteria <br />and considered. in the order of priority listed below. The County shall establish the find' <br />priority of all capital facility improvements using the following criteria as general <br />guidelines. Any revenue source that cannot be used for a high priority facility shall be <br />used beginning with the highest priority for which the revenue can legally be expended. <br />a. Reconstruction, rehabilitation, remodeling, renovation, or replacement of obsolete or <br />worn out facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining standards for levels of <br />service adopted in this Comprehensive Plan. <br />b. New or expanded facilities that reduce or eliminate deficiencies in levels of service <br />for existing demand. Expenditures in this priority category include equipment, <br />furnishings, and other improvements necessary for the completion of a public facility <br />(i.e., recreational facilities and park sites). <br />c. New public facilities, and improvements to existing public facilities, that eliminate <br />public hazards if such hazards were not otherwise eliminated by facility <br />improvements prioritized according to Policies a at b, above. <br />d. New or expanded facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new <br />developent and redevelopment during the next six fiscal years, as updated by the <br />armual review of this Capital Facilities Plan. The County may acquire land or right- <br />of-way in advance of the need to develop a facility for new development. The <br />location of facilities constructed pursuant to this Policy shall conform to the Land <br />Use Element, and specific project locations shall serve projected growth areas within <br />the allowable land use categorim in the event that the plwmed capacity of public <br />facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants far development permits, the capital <br />improvements shall be scheduled to serve the following priority order: <br />1. Previously approved permits for redevelopment. <br />2. Previously approved permits for new development <br />3. New permits for redevelopment <br />4. New permits for new development. <br />e. Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the <br />operating cost of providing a service or facility, or otherwise mitigate impacts of <br />public facilities on future operating budgets. <br />f. New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the <br />next six fiscal years by either. <br />■ providing excess public facility capacity that is needed by future growth beyond <br />the next six fiscal years, or <br />■ providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's <br />normal design criteria for such facilities. <br />KiNitas County December 2018 <br />Comprehensive Plan 5-9 <br />
