OBJECTIVE CI-1.1 The City shall utilize the Capital Improvements Element as a tool to ensure that capital facilities are made available in a timely manner to satisfy existing deficiencies,accommodate infrastructure needs for planned future growth,and replace obsolete or worn-out facilities. The measurement of this Objective is the degree to which the following Policies are implemented. POLICY CI-1.1.1 A Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements shall be prepared and adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. The Capital Improvements Element, including the 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, shall be updated on an annual basis. The annual update is to be reflected by amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which must be adopted by December 1 of each year. POLICY CI-1.1.2 The City shall accommodate the public facility needs of new growth on an ongoing basis. POLICY CI-1.1.3 The City shall evaluate public facilities necessary to correct existing deficiencies and to provide for future growth by determining the capacity of existing and planned facilities to meet the needs of new development. This evaluation shall employ the level-of-service standards adopted in the Comprehensive Plan for sanitary sewer, traffic circulation, drainage, recreation and open space. These level-of-service standards are as follows: A. RECREATION: * Parks: two acres/1000 population for all parks. * Open Space: one acre/1000 population B. SANITARY SEWER: 118 gallons per person per day C. DRAINAGE: retention of the first inch of rainfall for new developments,and a design storm of 5- year frequency and one hour duration with rainfall of 3 inches per hour and removal of excess water within 3 hours of the event. D. SOLID WASTE: 8.52 lbs.per capita per day. E. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: minimum level-of-service standard"E",with desired level-of-service standard "C";plus use of"interim" level-of-service standard as defined in Policy T-1.2 in event of an "F" condition. City of Cape Canaveral October 2021 Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies Page 59 F. POTABLE WATER: * Consumption standard: 264 gallons per household per day. * Pressure standard: 60 psi. G. The uniform, district-wide level of service standard for permanent capacity, based on the Florida Inventory of School Houses(FISH)capacity,is as follows: TIERED LEVEL OF SERVICE BY SCHOOL YEAR Facility Type 2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Elementary 127% 130% 115% 105% 100% Middle 122% 120% 100% 100% 100% Schools Jr.High 133% 135% 110% 105% 100% High 139% 130% 115% 100% 100% Note: See analysis of the Public School Facilities Element for detailed information on LOS Standards. POLICY CI-1.1.4 The City shall employ the usual policies and procedures of its legislative, administrative and fiscal system to ensure that the City's share of funds for the capital improvements specified in the Capital Improvements Schedule and Budget and included in the Annual Capital Improvements Budget are identified, made available,authorized,appropriated,and expended for the intended purposes. POLICY CI-1.1.5 The City shall allocate costs of new public facilities according to benefits received by existing and future residents. OBJECTIVE CI-1.2 The City shall adopt an Annual Capital Improvements Budget as a part of its annual budgeting process which is consistent with the Capital Improvements Schedule and Budget of this Element.The measurement of this Objective is the extent to which it is accomplished and the degree to which the following Policies are implemented. POLICY CI-1.2.1 Annually, the City shall prioritize traffic circulation improvements based upon its established level-of- service standards, and the City shall consider the following factors: the volume-to-capacity ratio of each City roadway; the roadways based upon the established level-of-service standard and the highest volume- to-capacity ratio shall be ranked highest for improvements. Transportation facilities are subject to concurrency in accordance with the City's Concurrency Management System. The City shall use professionally accepted techniques for measuring level-of-service for automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and trucks. City of Cape Canaveral October 2021 Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies Page 60 POLICY CI-1.2.2 Drainage improvements shall be identified and ranked based upon a drainage system condition. The drainage improvements will receive a ranking according to facility deficiencies measured by the applicable level-of-service standard. POLICY CI-1.2.3 The City shall rank sanitary sewer and water facility improvements based upon the following factors: established level-of-service standards; locational criteria of the Future Land Use Element; the degree to which they eliminate public health hazards; the degree to which they improve the treatment levels for pollutants;and the degree to which they protect the natural environment. The highest funding priority shall be given to projects addressing facility needs for development approvals awarded prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. POLICY CI-1.2.4 The City shall rank recreation and open space facilities based upon their ability to attain or maintain the established level-of-service standard; the degree to which they promote the efficient operation of existing facilities; and the degree to which they eliminate handicapped-access problems. Factors for prioritization are: facilities which will correct the greatest facility deficiencies based upon the established level-of-service standard will be given the highest ranking; facilities addressing the operation and maintenance of existing facilities shall be given the next highest ranking. POLICY CI-1.2.5 The City shall insure that the Annual Capital Improvements Budget Contains all of the City's capital improvements for which funding is needed during the year in question,including,but not limit to,the items in the Capital Improvements Schedule of the Comprehensive Plan.

POLICY CI-1.3.1 The City shall not locate public infrastructure (other than public recreation, open space, conservation, or coastal access facilities)within the high-hazard coastal zone unless there is no alternative. POLICY CI-1.3.2 City of Cape Canaveral October 2021 Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies Page 61 The City shall require developers in high-hazard coastal areas to provide sanitary sewer, water, drainage, and circulation facilities for new development,thereby reducing the amount of public funds needed for such improvements. POLICY CI-1.3.3 The City shall insure that prior to City approval, all development proposed for coastal high-hazard areas meets FDEP requirements. OBEJCTIVE CI-1.4 The City shall provide the public facilities and the funding required for future growth and redevelopment and that new growth pays for its fair share of these facility costs. The measurement of this Objective is the implementation of LOS standards and the degree to which all users pay their fair share of public facility costs. POLICY CI-1.4.1 The City shall continue to enforce its adopted impact fee ordinances for sanitary sewer and fire protection. POLICY CI-1.4.2 The City shall continue to require that developers provide the on-site facilities for sanitary sewer, water, drainage,and transportation for their developments.
