RECOMMENDATION:

5:45 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of the Annual Update

That the Board review and approve the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Capital Improvements Plan herein, amending Part II of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances (1999), the Escambia County Comprehensive Plan 2030.

BACKGROUND:

The Capital Improvement Element (CIE) contains the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Schedule, which provides a five-year schedule for the expenditure of funds to acquire or construct capital improvements needed to maintain the adopted levels of service.

At the November 7, 2011, Planning Board Meeting, the Board recommended approval and forwarded the CIP to the BCC with no changes.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

The updated CIP Schedule will allow the County to continue adopting Future Land Use map changes, both large and small scale, once the EAR Based Amendments are complete. This will meet our statutory obligation to provide an annually updated Schedule to our CIE.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The attached Ordinance was reviewed and approved for legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Assistant County Attorney. Any suggested legal comments are attached herein with the respective ordinance to which they pertain.

PERSONNEL:

No additional personnel are required for implementation of this Ordinance.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

The CIE will be reviewed annually per Florida Statute Chapter 163.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Upon adoption by the Board of County Commissioners, the ordinance will be forwarded to the Municipal Code Corporation to codify the ordinance in the Official Comprehensive Plan of Escambia County.

The proposed amendments were prepared by the Development Services Department in cooperation with the County Attorney’s Office, Public Works Department, Office of Management and Budget, Solid Waste Division, Parks and Recreation Division, Escambia County Area Transit and interested citizens. The Development Services Department will ensure proper advertisement.
