Recommendation
Review and consider Ordinance No. 29-23, adopting the 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2023-24 through FY 2027-28 and the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Budget into the Comprehensive Plan.
Body
Background:
The City of Delray Beach is required by Florida Statutes 163.3177(3)(b) to update the 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements in the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a listing of the projects with capital expenditures over $25,000, which the City plans to initiate over the next five fiscal years. The Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) is the first year of that plan, to which the City Commission will commit as part of the adopted annual budget.
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, modifications to update the 5-year capital improvement schedule may be accomplished by ordinance and may not be deemed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB), acting as the Local Planning Agency, has the responsibility to review the CIB and CIP annually, prior to their adoption by the City Commission and issue a statement of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. At its August 21, 2023 meeting, PZB voted 7-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 29-23.
Second reading and adoption is anticipated for September 18, 2023 to coincide with the adoption of the City budget.
City Attorney Review:
Ordinance No. 29-23 is approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
Not applicable. The fiscal impact of the 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements is reviewed separately by the City Commission; the proposed ordinance adopts the CIP into the Comprehensive Plan.
Timing of Request:
Ordinance No. 29-23 will be effective upon adoption at second reading on September 18, 2023.
