necessary to meet existing deficiencies, to accommodate desired future growth and to replace
obsolete or worn-out facilities.
Policy 1.11: The implementation of the Capital Improvements
Element shall be monitored annually during the City's budget process.
Policy 1.12: Capital improvements identified and proposed within each
individual element of the comprehensive plan shall be consistent with those proposed in

whenever available to implement the Capital Improvements Element
Policy 11.6: The City shall continue to require collection and utilization
of a proportion of impact fees under the auspices of Lake County, and to develop, adopt
and implement City impact fees for the purpose of subsidizing the costs of public facility
improvements.
Objective 12: Concurrency Management. The City shall implement the Concurrency
Management System adopted in the City's Land Development Code, which is consistent with
sections 163.3177 and 163.3180,F.S. and the minimum requirements for concurrency established in
Rule 9J-5.0055 (3), F.A.C. (included as Appendix A of this element), to manage the land
development process so that public facility needs created by previously issued development orders
or future development do not exceed the City's ability to fund and provide needed capital
improvements.
Policy 1.2.1: The concurrency evaluation system shall measure the potential impact of
any development proposal on the established minimum acceptable level of service (LOS)
standards for sanitary sewer, solid waste, stormwater, potable water, parks and recreation
and transportation facilities, unless the development is exempt from the review
requirements of the Concurrency Management System.

the concurrency evaluation in the adopted Concurrency Management System.
Policy 1.2.3: The City shall require all public and private capital facilities
to provide service at the LOS standards adopted in this comprehensive plan for previously
vested,existing and future permitted development These capital facilities shall be provided
concurrently with the impacts of development based on the minimum requirements in the
City's adopted Concurrency Management System.
Policy 1.2.4: The City hereby adopts the following minimum level of
service (LOS) standards, which must be retained in reviewing the impacts of new
development and development on public facilities:

Retention with Percolation or Detention with Filtration 100-year/24 hour
• The level of service for Public Schools shall be set at 100 percent of Florida Inventory

(dining) capacity is greater than the FISH permanent capacity, the school capacity
shall then be increased to that of the CORE ((lining) capacity and the LOS standard
maintained at 100 percent of the school capacity. In no instance shall the school
capacity increase more than 125 percent due to additional CORE (dining) capacity.
