The CIP is a planning document that does not appropriate funding or authorize projects. CONSIDERATIONS: APPLICABLE LAW, PUBLIC POLICY, AND EVENTS Section 2(b), Article VIII, of the State Constitution. Municipal Home Rule Powers Act Section 166.041, Florida Statutes. Procedures for adoption of ordinances and resolutions Winter Springs Charter, Article IV. Governing Body. Winter Springs Charter, Article VII. Financial Procedure. City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan FINDINGS The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) furthers the City’s legitimate government purpose of meeting the demands for new and properly maintained infrastructure and facilities in a fiscally responsible manner and in furtherance of section 166.021, Florida Statutes. The CIP is the vehicle that links capital expenditures with adopted public policy. The CIP neither appropriates funds nor authorizes projects; it is a planning document. The CIP integrates planning for significant capital or operating projects with financial planning into a multi-year schedule of projects. It is used as an alternative to considering individual projects one-at-a-time without reference to overall community priorities or fiscal capacity. September 6, 2017 Public Hearing Agenda Item 401 24 Page of The CIP is the primary tool for implementing City Commission initiatives and reflects the various master plans that serve as a blueprint for future capital investment. The proposed CIP also serves as the companion to the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan, which outlines capital improvements that are required to maintain adopted levels of service and keep pace with community growth. Each capital improvement is described, listed by year it is to be purchased or commenced, the amount to be spent per year, and the method of financing. The list is prioritized over the 5-year period and is reviewed and updated annually. The adoption of the CIP does not commit the City to expenditures or appropriations beyond the first year (which are included in the FY 2018 budget). What is Included? Projects that cost more than $50,000, and Projects identified in the Comprehensive Plan that are necessary to meet Levels of Service (LOS) (elimination of existing deficiencies); Projects which increase the capacity or efficiency of existing infrastructure; Projects which replace failing infrastructure (the repair and replacement of existing public facilities); and/or Projects which enhance facilities and infrastructure (the provision for new public facilities). Items may include: New and expanded facilities; Rehabilitation or replacement of existing facilities; Major pieces of equipment; Cost of professional studies related to the improvement; and/or Acquisition of land related to a community facility. Priorities of Capital Improvements The priority for the capital program is ensuring that facilities currently meet adopted Level of Service (LOS) standards and that they will continue to do so in the future as growth occurs or other conditions change. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES - The City shall use Quality/Level of Service (Q/LOS) for monitoring purposes in order to identify where improvements are needed, for guiding capital improvements facility/operations planning to achieve and maintain mobility, and to assist in determining a fair share that a development should contribute to the necessary improvements. Roadway Q/LOS. The following minimum Roadway Q/LOS standards are applicable to all areas of the City based on annual average daily trips (AADT) and peak hour maximum service volumes: Limited Access Highways D  Arterials E  Collectors D  Local Roads D  Transit Q/LOS. Coordinate with METROPLAN ORLANDO and LYNX to assist the County in maintaining the County’s minimum Q/LOS standard for transit applicable to the citywide September 6, 2017 Public Hearing Agenda Item 401 34 Page of TCEA, to link urban centers and neighborhoods to nearby LYNX stops and subsequently to commuter rail. Pedestrian Q/LOS. The pedestrian Q/LOS shall be the presence of pedestrian paths/sidewalks on both sides of roadways in areas of new development or within ¼ mile of existing schools, parks, or transit fixed service routes and shall be considered a QLOS standard of “B”. The Q/LOS is not a standard that is intended to be achieved on an annual basis, but rather as an objective to be achieved by 2030. Bicycle Q/LOS.The bicycle Q/LOS shall be the presence of designated bike lanes, bike routes, and/or multi-use paths or trails, which run the length of the City in an east-west, north- south grid pattern at 1-1/2 mile intervals. The provision of this citywide network shall be considered a QLOS standard of “B”. The QLOS is not a standard that is intended to be achieved on an annual basis, but rather as an objective to be achieved by 2030. SANITARY SEWER- 100 gallons per person per day. POTABLE WATER-115 gallons (minimum) per person per day. SOLID WASTE- 3.7 pounds per person per day. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT (DRAINAGE)- Water Quantity - Peak post-development runoff rate shall not exceed peak pre-development runoff rate for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. Each development shall accommodate its proportion of basin runoff rate above the downstream systems actual capacity. Water Quality - Stormwater treatment system which meets the requirements of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and which is site-specific or serve sub-areas of the City. Roadway construction - All public roadways within a development shall be designed and constructed to standards which do not allow any amount of water above the roadway centerline during the following storm events for the following roadway types: Local Roadway – 25-year, 24-hour design storm event (8.6 inches of rainfall). Collector Roadway – 25-year, 24-hour design storm event (8.6 inches of rainfall). Arterial Roadway – 100-year, 24-hour design storm event (10.6 inches of rainfall). PARKS AND RECREATION- Parks- 8 acres total public park and recreation land acreage (including open space) per 1,000 residents. The City may utilize State and county park lands and trails that are located within the City’s jurisdictional boundaries. This standard includes both passive and active recreation lands. City Owned Open Space- 4 acres per 1,000 residents. Open space is defined as “undeveloped lands suitable for passive recreation or conservation”. The following thresholds shall be used to target initiation and budgeting of construction and/or purchase of capital facilities to meet projected future needs based on adopted LOS standards: SANITARY SEWER- 75% of available capacity is being utilized. POTABLE WATER- 75% of available capacity is being utilized. September 6, 2017 Public Hearing Agenda Item 401 44 Page of PARKS AND RECREATION- Park lands when 95% of available land area is utilized or when 90% of the population exists in areas in need of new park acreage.
