<br /> <br />Chapter 5 CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN <br />KITTITAS COUNTY <br />Page 65 Comprehensive Plan <br />CF-G9: Administer the County's policies and regulations on facility siting with and in advance of other <br />planning goals including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: <br /> Promotion of economic development and employment opportunities. <br /> Protection of the environment. <br /> Positive fiscal impact and on-going benefit to the host jurisdiction. <br /> Serving population groups needing affordable housing. <br /> Receipt of financial or other incentives from the State and/or other local governments. <br /> Fair distribution of such public facilities throughout the County. <br /> Requiring State and Federal projects to be consistent with this policy. <br />CF-G10: Provide adequate public facilities to urban growth areas. <br />CF-G11: The County and each municipality in the County will coordinate and address fiscal issues including <br />tax revenue sharing, the provision of regional services and annexations through the development of <br />interlocal agreements. <br />CF-G12: As growth continues to occur both in the urban and rural areas of Kittitas County, evaluate <br />increased impacts on existing library services and increasing demands for additional library services. <br /> POLICIES <br />CF-P1: The County shall establish standards for levels of service for public facilities. The levels of service shall <br />be cooperatively defined by all segments of the public and private sector involved in providing a service. <br />CF-P2: The County shall determine the quantity of capital improvements that is needed. <br />CF-P3: Legal restrictions on the use of many revenue sources limit the extent to which types of facilities <br />compete for priority 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 levels of service <br />adopted in this Comprehensive Plan are included in the financially feasible schedule of capital improvements <br />contained in this Capital Facilities Plan. The relative priorities among types of public facilities (i.e., roads, <br />sanitary sewer, etc.) were established by adjusting the standards for levels of service and the available <br />revenues until the resulting public facilities needs became financially feasible. This process is repeated with <br />each update of the Capital Facilities Plan, thus allowing for changes in priorities among types of public <br />facilities. <br />CF-P4: Capital improvements within a type of public facility are to be evaluated on the following criteria and <br />considered in the order of priority listed below. The County shall establish the final priority of all capital <br />facility improvements using the following criteria as general guidelines. Any revenue source that cannot be <br />used for a high priority facility shall be used beginning with the highest priority for which the revenue can <br />legally be expended: <br />A. Reconstruction, rehabilitation, remodeling, renovation, or replacement of obsolete or worn out <br />facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining standards for levels of service adopted in this <br />Comprehensive Plan.
