I. INTRODUCTION
In 1985 and 1986 the Florida Legislature significantly strengthened the requirements for county and
city comprehensive plans. One of the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning
and Land Development Regulation Act is the requirement that the comprehensive plan must contain a
Capital Improvement Element to "... consider the needs for and location of public facilities ..." (Section
163.3177(3), Florida Statutes).
The Capital Improvement Element (CIE) must identify public facilities that will be required during the
next five years, including the cost of the facilities, and the sources of revenue that will be used to fund
the facilities.
One of the specific requirements of the legislation states that the public facilities that are contained in
the CIE must be based on "standards to ensure the availability of public facilities and the adequacy of
those facilities including acceptable levels of service." The administrative regulation that implements
the statutes defines the phrase "level of service" as "... an indicator of the extent or degree of service
provided by ... a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. Level of
service shall indicate the capacity per unit of demand for each public facility." (Section 9J-5.003 (41),
Florida Administrative Code).

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
,GOALS~ OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
GOAL 1:
TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES CONCURRENT WITH NEW
DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN OR EXCEED ADOPTED
STANDARDS FOR LEVELS OF SERVICE.
OBJECTIVE 1.1:
Identify and define types of public facilities for which the County is responsible, establish standards for
levels of service for each such public facility, and determine what quantity of additional public facilities
are needed in order to achieve and maintain the standards.
Policy 1.1.1:
The County shall establish standards for levels of service for th;co two categories of public facilities, as
follows:
Category A public facilities are facilities which appear in other elements of this comprehensive
plan, including arterial and collector roads, surface water management systems, potable water
systems, sanitary sewer systems, solid waste disposal facilities, and parks and recreation
facilities. The standards for levels of service of Category A County provided public facilities shall
apply to development orders issued by the County and to the County's annual budget, and to the
appropriate individual element of this Comprehensive Plan. The standards for levels of service of
Category A facilities which are not County provided shall apply to development orders issued by
the County and to the appropriate individual element of this Comprehensive Plan, but shall not
apply to the County's annual budget.
Category B public facilities are facilities for the County's library, jail, and emergency medical
services, ,',*~, ............ ~ ~" '"~: ..... ~ '~ .... ~""+ firc ,~:,.,.i,.+.. st
_ v .....~ ..................... = ........~, ............ The andards for levels of
service of Category B public facilities shall apply to the County's annual budget, but not apply to
development orders issued by the County.
Public facilities shall include land, structures, the initial furnishings and equipment (including
ambulances, fire apparatus, and library collection materials), design, permitting, and construction
costs. Other "capital" costs, such as motor vehicles and motorized equipment, computers and office
equipment, office furnishings, and small tools are considered in the County's annual budget, but such
items are not "public facilities" for the purposes of the Growth Management Plan, or the issuance of
development orders.
CIE- 2
Words ~ are deletions - Words underlined are additions
Policy 1.1.2:
The quantity of public facilities that is needed to eliminate existing deficiencies and to meet the needs
of future growth shall be determined for each public facility by the following calculation:
Q: (S'x D)- I.
Where
Q is the quantity of public facility needed,
S is the standard for level of service,
D is the demand, such as the population, and
I is the inventory of existing facilities.
(II)
Ao
Bo
The calculation will be used for existing demand in order to determine existing
deficiencies. The calculation will be used for projected demand in order to determine
needs of future growth. The estimates of projected demand will account for demand that
is likely to occur from previously issued development orders as well as future growth.
The County Commission will review all rezone requests and proposed amendments to the
Future Land Use Element (FLUE) affecting the overall County-Wide density or intensity of
permissible development with consideration of their impact on both the variable "D" in the
formula Q = (S x D) - I, and the overall roadway system. The County Commission shall
not approve any such rezone request or FLUE amendment that significantly impacts
either: (1) a deficient roadway segment~..~'-~"-.~..~ ....... ~.... ~...*;"".~ ~.".~/c r ~.."-"~'-"*-'~v,~.~.. *,-..~ cpcr~to

rate population projections through the year 2000 2006, and then the BEBR medium
range growth rate thereafter, for the variable "D", unless one cr mcro of the following
simultaneously occurs:
(11)
Specific mitigating stipulations are approved in conjunction with the rezone to
restore or maintain the Level of Service on the impacted roadway segment;
The adopted population standard used for calculation of "Q" in the formula Q = (S
x D) - I is amended based on appropriate data and analysis;
The Schedule of Capital Improvements is updated to include any necessary
projects that would support the additional public facility demand(s) created by the
rezone or amendment to the Future Land Use Element.
(11)

Significant impact is hereby defined for Section B of this Policy as generating potential for
increased County-Wide population greater than 5% 3% of the BEBR high range
population projections for Parks, Solid Waste, Water, Sewer and Drainage facilities, or as
generating a volume of traffic equal to or greater than 5% 3% of the adopted LOS
standard service volume ~._~. ~.~ ..~v. ~...~""'~"" r.v ~.~..~'""~' ..~. ~' .... vc!umo of an impacted roadway.
There are three circumstances in which the standards for levels of service are not the
exclusive determinant of need for a public facility:
1. Calculated needs for public facilities in coastal high hazard areas are subject to all
limits and conditions in the Conservation and Coastal Management and Future
Land Use Elements of this Growth Management Plan.
Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, and repair, remodeling and
renovation, will be determined by the Board of County Commissioners upon the
recommendation of the County A, dm~istr, a~,~ Manaqer.
CIE- 3
Words ~ are deletions - Words underlined are additions
Public facilities that provide levels of service in excess of the standards adopted in
this Growth Management Plan may be constructed or acquired at any time as long
as the following conditions are met:
the facility does not make financially unfeasible any public facility of the
same type that is needed to achieve or maintain the standards for levels of
service adopted in this Growth Management Plan, and
the facility does not contradict, limit or substantially change the goals,
objectives and policies of any element of this Growth Management Plan.
Any public facility that is determined to be needed as a result of any of the factors listed in Section B
and D of this Policy shall be included in the regular Schedule of Capital Improvements contained in this
Capital Improvement Element. All capital improvement projects for such public facilities shall be
approved in the same manner as the projects that are identified according to the quantitative analysis
described in Section ^ of this policy.
Policy 1.1.3:
The determination of location of improvements to expand public facilities will take into consideration the
projected growth patterns as identified in the County's annual population projections. Where
applicable, public facility improvements will be coordinated with the capital facility plans of any other
governmental entity providing public facilities within Collier County.
Policy 1.1.4:
Public facility
improvements within a category are to be considered in the following order or priority:
Replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, including repair, remodeling and
renovation of facilities that contribute to achieving or maintaining levels of service.
New facilities that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies in levels of service.
New facilities that provide the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next
five fiscal years, as updated by the annual review of the Capital Improvement Element. In
the event that the planned capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants
for development orders, the capital improvements will be scheduled in the following
priority order to serve:
1. previously approved development orders permitting redevelopment,
2. previously approved development orders permitting new development,
3. new development orders permitting redevelopment, and
4. new development orders permitting new developments.
Improvements to existing facilities, and new facilities that significantly reduce the
operating cost of providing a service or facility.
New facilities that exceed the adopted levels of service for new growth during the next
five fiscal years by either:
1. providing excess public facility capacity that may be needed by future growth
beyond the next five fiscal years, or
providing higher quality public facilities than are contemplated in the County's
normal design criteria for such facilities.

FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
OBJECTIVE 1.2:
Provide public facilities in order to maintain adopted level of service standards that are within the ability
of the County to fund, or within the County's authority to require others to provide. Existing facility
deficiencies measured against the adopted level of service standards will be eliminated with revenues
generated by ad valorem taxes and intergovernmental revenues received based on economic activity.
Future development will bear a proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by growth.
Future development's payments may take the form of, but are not limited to, voluntary contributions for
the benefit of any public facility, impact fees, dedications of land, provision of public facilities, and
future payments of user fees, special assessments and taxes.
Policy 1.2.1:
The estimated capital expenditures for all needed public facilities shall not exceed conservative
estimates of revenues from sources that are available to the County pursuant to current law, and which
have not been rejected by referendum, if a referendum is required to enact a source of revenue.
Policy 1.2.2:
Existing and future development shall both pay for the costs of needed public facilities. Existing
development shall pay for some or all facilities that reduce or eliminate existing deficiencies, some or
all of the replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities, and may pay a portion of the cost of facilities
needed by future development. Both existing and future development may have part of their costs paid
by grants, entitlements or public facilities from other levels of government and independent districts.
Policy 1.2.3:
Public facilities financed by County enterprise funds (i.e., potable water, sanitary sewer and solid
waste) may be financed by debt to be repaid by user fees and charges for enterprise services, or the
facilities may be financed from current assets (i.e., reserves, surpluses and current revenue).
Policy 1.2.4:
Public facilities financed by non-enterprise funds (i.e., roads, surface water management, parks,
library, emergency medical service, and jai!, "'*~'"'~., ,~, ~cvcr,-,mc,-,t ~.,.~,, ~'' '""'~ ..... ,~.., _, ,_.~ ~..., ,~ .... ,-~,'~""*,. ~',,, ~ d!ctrlct~)

of service. Notwithstanding other provisions of this policy, general obligation bonds approved by
referendum may be used for any public facilities to acquire capacity needed within the f!vc
Schedule of ~Capital i/mprovements plan or for excess capacity.
Policy 1.2.5:
The County shall not provide a public facility, nor shall it accept the provision of a public facility by
others, if the County is unable to pay for the subsequent annual operating and maintenance costs of
the facility.

Policy 1.2.6:
The County shall continue to collect Road Impact Fees for road facilities requiring the same level of
service standard as adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of this element in order to assess new development a pro
rata share of the costs required to finance transportation improvements necessitated by such
development.
(11)
Policy 1.2.7:
The County shall continue to collect impact fees for Parks and Recreation= EMS and Library facilities
requiring the same level of service standard as adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of this element in order to
assess new development a pro rata share of the costs required to finance Parks and Recreation, EMS
and Library improvements necessitated by such development.
Policy 1.2.8:
If, for any reason, the County cannot provide revenue sources identified as needed funding for specific
projects within the adopted Schedule of Capital Improvements, the Growth Management Plan shall be
amended based on one or more of the following actions:
Remove through a plan amendment facility improvements or new facilities from the
adopted Schedule of Capital Improvements that exceed the adopted levels of service for
the growth during the next five (5) fiscal years;
Remove from the adopted Schedule of Capital Improvements through a plan amendment
facility improvements or new facilities that reduce the operating cost of providing a
service or facility but do not provide additional facility capacity;
Where feasible, transfer funds from a funded Non-Capital Improvement Element capital
project in order to fund an identified deficient Capital Improvement Element public facility.
The resulting revisions shall be reflected in the required annual update.
Lower the adopted level of service standard through a plan amendment for the facility for
which funding cannot be obtained.
Do not issue development orders that would continue to cause a deficiency based on the
facility's adopted level of service standard.
Policy 1.2.9:
Collier County will not exceed a maximum ratio of total general governmental debt service to bondable
revenues from current sources of 13%. Whereas Florida Statutes place no limitation on the application
of revenues to debt service by local taxing authorities, prudent fiscal management dictates a
self-imposed level of constraint. Current bondable revenues are ad valorem taxes and State-shared
revenues, specifically gas taxes and the half-cent sales tax. The Enterprise Funds operate under
revenue bonding ratios set by the financial markets and are, therefore, excluded from this debt policy.

C. Beach renourishment.
Policy 1.3.1:
The County shall continue to expend funds within the coastal high hazard area for the replacement and
maintenance of public facilities identified in the Conservation and Coastal Management Element.
Policy 1.3.2:
The calculated needs for public facilities will be based on the adopted level of service standards and
future growth projections within the coastal high hazard area. The Future Land Use Element limits new
residential development (thus obligations for infrastructure expenditures) to a maximum of four dwelling
units per gross acre within portions of the coastal high hazard area.
Policy 1.3.3:

PROGRAMS TO ENSURE IMPLEMENTATION
Through continued implementation of adopted land development regulations the following programs
have been implemented to ensure that the goals, objectives and policies established in the Capital
Improvement Element will be achieved or exceeded.
1. --..-....~"'""'~"" Pc.'?..!t Development Order Review
As part of the review of all applications for final site development plans, final plats, and building
permits, the County will determine whether or not there will be sufficient capacity of Category A public
facilities to meet the standards for levels of service for the existing population and for the proposed
development in accordance with the requirements of the Concurrency Management System. As part of
the review for all development orders havin.q neqative impacts on Cateqory A Public Facilities other
than final site development plans, final plats, or buildin.q permits, the County will determine whether or
not sufficient capacity of Cate.qory "A" public facilities are planned for construction concurrent with the
impacts on levels of service that will be created by the proposed development durin.q the next five fiscal
years.
,32. Impact Fees
Impact Fee Ordinances will require the same standard for the level of service as is required by Policy
1.1.5.
43. Annual Budqet
The annual budget will include in its capital appropriations all projects in the Schedule of Capital
Improvements that are planned for expenditures during the next fiscal year.
64. Semiannual Report
The mandatory semiannual report to the Department of Community Affairs concerning amendments to
the comprehensive plan due to emergencies, developments of regional impact and selected small
developments will report on changes, if any, to adopted goals, objectives and policies in the Capital
Improvement Element.
65. Update of Capital Improvement Element
The monitoring of and adjustment to the Capital Improvement Element to meet the changing conditions
must be an ongoing process. Beginning in August of each year, the element will be updated in
conjunction with the County's budget process and the release of the official BEBR population estimates
and projections. The update will include:
1. Revision of population projections;
2. Updates of facility inventory;
3. Update of unit costs;
Update of facilities requirements analysis to project 10 year need§ (by fiscal year) in order
to program projects to meet the service standards.
5. Update of revenue forecasts in order to evaluate financial feasibility and the
CIE 51
County's ability to finance capital improvements needed to meet the
Service standards
Revise and develop capital improvement projects for the next five years. The first year's
schedule of projects will be incorporated into the County's budget effective October 1st.
7. Update of the public school and health facilities analysis.
76. Concurrency Mana,qement System
The County has established a Concurrency Management System by adoption of the Adequate Public
Facilities Ordinance, as amended. The system consists of the following components:
Ao
The Annual Update and Inventory Report on Public Facilities (AUIR) ~'-'"~*-'-" ...... '~ on
the capacity and levels of service of public facilities compared to the standards for levels
of service adopted in Policy 1.1.5 of this Element. The AUIR ~ summarizes the
actual capacity of existing public facilities and forecasts the capacity of existing and
planned public facilities for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. For the purposes of
long range capital facility planning, a ten year forecast of projected needed capacity is
also done. These forecasts are based on the most recently updated Schedule of Capital
Improvements in this Capital Improvements Element. The annual approval of the AUIR
and the identified needed proiects and revenues by the Board of County Commissioners

Public facility capacity review. The County shall use the procedures specified in
Implementation Programs 1 and 2-6_ to enforce the requirements of Policies 1.5.1, 1.5.2
and 1.5.3 of this Element.
Review of changes in planned capacity of public facilities. The County shall review each
amendment to this Capital Improvement Element in particular any changes in standards
for levels of service and changes in the Schedule of Capital Improvements in order to
enforce the policies of this Element.
Concurrency Management Implementation Strategies.
The County shall annually review the Concurrency Management Implementation
Strategies that are incorporated in this Capital Improvement Element:
Standards for levels of service are applied within appropriate geographical areas
of the County. Standards for County-Wide public facilities are applied to
development orders based on levels of service throughout the County.
Standards for public facilities that serve less than the entire County are applied to
development orders on the basis of levels of service within assigned areas.
o
Levels of service are compared to adopted standards on an annual basis. Annual
monitoring is used, rather than case-by-case monitoring, for the following reasons:
annual monitoring corresponds to annual expenditures for capital
improvements during the County's fiscal year; and
b. annual monitoring covers seasonal variations in levels of service.
CIE 52
87. Second 5-year Evaluation and Appraisal Report
The required second 5-year evaluation and appraisal report will address the implementation of the
goals, objectives and policies of the Capital Improvement Element. The monitoring procedures
necessary to enable the completion of the 5-year evaluation include:
a. Review of annual reports of the Concurrency Management System;
b=
Review of semiannual reports to DCA concerning amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan; and
Review of annual updates of this Capital Improvement Element, including updated
supporting documents.

Gl). IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
As part of the Transportation Element, the County established minimum acceptable level of
service standards on the existing highway system. For n.c, st County facilities, the level of service
standard to be maintained is "D" or "E" as measured on a ~ peak hour basis. Several
County and State facilities have been given a minimum LOS "E" standard.
To maintain the adopted LOS on roadways, the County has implemented a concurrency
management regulatory program that ties issuance of development orders to the demonstration of
adequate capacity on all roadway segments that would be significantly impacted by new
development. In summary_ this program maintains an inventory of the following for each arterial
and collector roadway segment:
Actual traffic on each segment as determined through an annual traffic counting program,
The peak hour service capacity as determined by engineering analyses performed by the
Transportation Division, and
· Capacity that will be used by new development for which a Certificate of Adequate Public
Facilities has been issued.
In order to prevent sudden unanticipated LOS failures, the County will adopt, within one year or
sooner, a "real time .... checkbook accounting" concurrency management process.
See the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (Division 3.15 of the Land Development Code) for
details of this process.

1. Monitoring
Division 3.15 of the Land Development Code is also known as the Collier County Adequate
Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO). It describes the annual count program done on County roads
to determine their annual average daily traffic (AADT). It describes how the relationship
between that AADT and the segment's adopted level of service (LOS) standard determines the
road segment's level of service.
The current levels of service at which road segments are operating are reported annually in the
Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR). This report indicates which segments are
operating at levels of service worse than their adopted standard LOS. It also contains predictions
of when certain segments will reach levels of service that exceed their adopted standard LOS.
Although traffic volumes are expressed as AADT, LOS calculations are done to ensure adequate
levels of service_, during peak Peak season, peak hour traffic conditions are skewed in Collier
County because of the heavv influx of seasonal residents and tourists. As such, it is deemed an
inappropriate and unreasonable imposition on taxpayers to provide a roadway system designed
for the peak of the peak season. Therefore, the LOS calculations are based on traffic conditions
experienced for I 0 months of the year with the peak seasonal and tourist months of February and
March omitted from the analysis.
2. LOS Determination And BCC Findings
The annual average daily volumes will be calculated and the peak hour volume interpreted based
upon the available data consistent with omitting February and March tourist months from the
analysis. The Transportation ~ Division shall prcparc, a maintain and update a list of all
roadway segments, for which a level of service standard has been adopted, that shows the current
LOS f~,~ ~,.,,,~'4 ..... ;_~.4 above,) as well as the adopted LOS standard found in this plan. ,w,;~,,,,o ,,o~';~ :,~

The APFO describes the consequences of a road segment operating at a LOS that exceeds its
adopted LOS standard.

2.1 Constrained Roadways
Constrained facilities are roadways which have been designated by action of the Board of County
Commissioners once it has been determined that the facility will not be expanded by two or more
through lanes due to physical, environmental or policy constraints. Physical constraints primarily
occur when a roadway is developed to the maximum six-lane standard or when intensive land use
development is immediately adjacent to roads, thus making expansion cost prohibitive.
Environmental and policy constraints primarily occur when decisions are made not to expand a
road based on environmental, historical, archaeological, aesthetic or social impact considerations.
Constrained roadways are identified by action of the BCC upon the recommendation of the
Transportation Administrator.
Roadways identified as constrained shall be subject to growth restrictions such that further LOS
degradation does not occur once the roadway is determined to be operating below Level-of-
Service standard. Constrained roadways are subject to growth restrictions that only allow for an
increase in annual daily traffic volume of 10% above the service volume at Level-of-Service
standard resulting in LOS operations not to exceed 110% of service volume. If the service volume
i~ exceeded bv 10%, only de minimis growth could.be applied to the roadway segment.
