TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
FROM: Jonathan R. Lewis, ICMA-CM, City Manager
TITLE: Ordinance No. 2016-23, First Reading, Petition No. CPA-16-100 Adopting a Revision to the Capital Improvement Element of the City of North Port Comprehensive Plan, Ordinance No. 89-3, as Amended, to Add in a Fifth Year with Projects to Address Levels of Service.
Recommended Action
Continue Ordinance 2016-23, Petition Number CPA-16-100, to second reading on October 11, 2016.
Background Information
The Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, requires that the City maintain and update a Capital Improvements Element (CIE) within its Comprehensive Plan. Every year, as required by Florida Statute, the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the City’s Comprehensive Plan is updated, adopted by Ordinance.
The purpose of the CIE and the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements is to identify the capital improvements that are needed to implement the Comprehensive Plan and ensure that adopted Level of Service (LOS) Standards are achieved, and maintained for concurrency related facilities (sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, parks and recreation, schools, and transportation facilities). This assures that facilities are in place to maintain LOS standards in a timely manner and prevent concurrency-related issues and address deficiencies. Updated revenue and expenditure data is provided from the City of North Ports adopted Capital Improvement Program and the Sarasota County School District Five-year capital projects budget 2016-2017.
This amendment is largely administrative in nature and the Planning & Zoning Advisory Board acting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA), is required to review and recommend approval of this document to the City Commission.
The petition was presented to the North Port Planning and Zoning Advisory Board (PZAB) at a public hearing held on September 1, 2016.
The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed element language will help ensure consistency with State and Regional requirements and maintains an updated Comprehensive Plan.
