CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Goals, Objectives and Policies
GOAL: The City shall provide public facilities, at an adopted level of service
which shall be met for all existing and future development, through the financial
commitment of a Capital Improvements Element, a Capital Improvements
Program and a development process which permits development in
synchronization with the City's ability to finance and complete needed public
facilities.
TIMING, CONCURRENCY, PRIORITY
Objective 1: Land use decisions (including future land use map amendments
and all development orders) shall be coordinated with the City's financial
commitment to expand facilities as stated in the 5-year Schedule of
Improvements, and 5-Year Capital Improvements Program, for the purposes of
providing facilities that serve existing and future development at the adopted
level of service standards. Future development will bear proportionate costs of
improvements necessitated by the development in the forms of impact fees,
service charges, dedication, provision of physical improvements, or other forms
of impact exactions in conformance requirements adopted in the City Land
Development Regulations, other ordinances, and adopted goals, objective and
policies of other plan elements.
Polic~l=1: Land use development orders shall be granted only when facilities
functioning at the adopted level of service exist, or will be available, concurrent
with issuance of a certificate of occupancy or use for such developed land.
Policy 1-2: The City shall require all public and private capital facilities to
operate and provide service at the level of service adopted in this Comprehensive
Plan for development approved prior to adoption of the plan, existing
development, and future permitted development. These public facilities shall be
provided concurrent with the impacts of a development.
Policy 1-3: Table VIII-2, Park Classification Standards, and the following levels
of service are hereby adopted and shall be maintained for existing, previously
permitted development and for new development or redevelopment in the City or
in new, formally agreed upon utility service areas:

Public Schools Facilities The level of service for all schools shall be set at
100% of Florida Inventory of School Houses

the CORE (dining) capacity is greater than the
FISH permanent capacity, the school capacity
shall then be increased to that of the CORE
(dining) capacity and the level of service
maintained at 100% of the school capacity. In
no instance shall the school capacity increase
more than 125% due to additional CORE
(dining) capacity. Coordination with the Lake
County School Board's Five-Year District
Facilities Work Plan, the plans of other local
governments, and as necessary, updates to the
Concurrency Service Area map is required to
ensure that the adopted Level of Service
Standards for Concurrency Service Areas will be
achieved and maintained._rAs amended through Ordinance 609-M,

development.
