Ord. No. 12-2013, Exhibit"E"
GOAL CI-1
The overall goal for the Capital Improvements Element of the City of Cape Canaveral is
to provide a program to coordinate the timing and to prioritize the provision of capital
improvements which support the goals, objectives and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and encourage efficient and fiscally-sound utilization of public
facilities;this includes the principle that the Capital Improvements Element is to serve as
a tool for decision-making by the City government.
Objective-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-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.
PelicyPOLICY CI-1.1.2
The City shall accommodate the public facility needs of new growth on an ongoing
basis.
PelcyPOLICY 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
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Page 8
Amended November 19,2013
Ord. No. 12-2013,Exhibit"E"
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.
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:

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
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Page 8
Amended November 19,2013
Ord. No. 12-2013, Exhibit"E"
The City shall allocate costs of new public facilities according to benefits received by
existing and future residents.
Objeetive-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.
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.

service to total revenue shall not exceed .1, or 10%; the ratio of total capital debt to the
taxable portion of the tax base shall not exceed .1, or 10%; there shall be no limitation on
the use of revenue bonds as a percentage of bonded debt.
OBJECTIVE CI-1.3
The City shall ensure that its public facility expenditures do not unnecessarily subsidize
development in high-hazard coastal areas, except for expenditures for public land
acquisition or enhancement of natural resources. The measurement of this Objective is
the degree to which public facility expenditures are restricted in high-hazard coastal
areas, plus the extent to which the following Policies are implemented.
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:

The City shall insure that prior to City approval, all development proposed for coastal
high-hazard areas meets FDEP requirements.
Objective-OBEICTIVE CI-1.4

Comprehensive Plan; provides adequate and safe access to adjacent land uses; promotes sound
development policies; is an efficient and effective use of public resources; and promotes the
efficient utilization of energy resources.
Objeetie-OBJECTIVE T-1.1
In conjunction with area wide agencies, Brevard County and the State of Florida, the City of

service (with a desirable level-of-service "C"). The City commits to maintain that level-of-
service standard and to not permit any further significant degradation of that condition: (the
cut-off point for indicating significant degradation will be a volume to capacity ratio (V/C
ratio)—to be interpreted as a maximum acceptable volume ratio (MAV ratio)—of 1.10: at the
point that the City determines that the V/C ratio (MAV ratio) exceeds 1.10, it will trigger a
procedure in accordance with the City's concurrency management system to defer, modify or
deny development orders or permits which impact the roadway segment in question. In
addition, once a substandard roadway is improved to a level-of-service "E" or better, the newly
achieved level-of-service will become the new "maintain-and-not-further-degrade" standard.
PelieyPOLICY T-1.1.3
