approval to the City Council for those applications for development orders which
require City Council approval; and
(4) Reporting the status of all public facilities covered under this system to the City
Council and recommending a schedule of improvements for those public facilities
found to have existing or projected deficiencies.
The City Administration will collect and make available to the public, information on various
facilities. The information shall be updated on an annual basis consistent with the reports required
by Section 14.06 of this ordinance. The information will contain data such as: design capacity for
roadways and roadway types; existing and adopted levels of service for all roadways;
improvements to be made to the roadway system in the current year and in future years by the
City, County or FDOT and improvements to be made to the roadway system by the private sector;
the successes or shortcomings of the multi -modal district and the long term concurrency
management system for segments of SR 85; design capacity of wastewater and potable water
facilities and the identification of any deficiencies within such systems; the existing and adopted
levels of service standards for water and sewer systems; any programmed improvements to the
facilities either by the City or the private sector; the design capacity for solid waste facilities
including transfer stations and landfills; existing and proposed level of service standards for storm
water management systems; and existing and proposed provisions of recreation and open space

The Land Development Code includes the City's Zoning Ordinance, subdivision regulations and
other provisions governing the height, area and bulk of proposed development and re-
development, landscaping, open space requirements, parking, access and other similar provisions.
These and all other relevant provisions of the City's Code and regulations apply, as appropriate, to
each land use category and govern the development of all land within the City.
Policy 7.A.3.5 - The City shall continue enforcement of the limitations placed on non -conforming
uses of buildings, non -conforming uses of land, changes in use classifications and districts, and
restoration and occupancy of damaged buildings as provided by Chapter 102 of the City Code as
a means to eliminate expansion of non -conforming land uses which are inconsistent with the
Future Land Use Maps.
Objective 7.A.4 - The City continually shall insure the protection of natural and historic resources
by implementing Policies 7.A.4.1 through 7.A.4.6, upon adoption of the LDC (reference Policy
7.A.1.1).
Policy 7.A.4.1 - The LDC shall contain provisions that promote the natural functions of the
topography, forests, natural areas and wetlands associated with surface waters within the City.
Enhancement projects will be encouraged or required where appropriate. Note: Appropriate shall
be defined as any time a proposed project would directly impact and degrade the natural functions
associated with the features listed in this policy (also, see Policies 11.A.2.4, 11.A.2.5, 11.A.2.6,
11.A.3.1, 11.A.3.2, 11.A.3.3, 11.A.3.4, 11.A.3.5, 11.A.3.6 among others).
Policy 7.A.4.2 - The LDC shall include regulations that control the extraction of natural resources
and such extraction shall be permitted only where compatible with adjacent land uses and where
minimal resource degradation will occur. Further, extraction of natural resources shall be permitted
only when in conjunction with construction projects. Such extraction shall be conducted so as to
retain the resource upon completion of such construction. Note: The extent of resource retention
will be defined within the approved development orders or development permits issued for any
particular project or site.
Policy 7.A.4.3 - The LDC shall include provisions which require the identification of flood prone
areas in advance of the issuance of a development permit. The LDC shall contain provisions to
regulate construction within such flood prone areas.

Policy 7.A.4.5 - The LDC shall contain regulations which must be followed any time a proposed
development may impact an historic site within the City. Note: The Florida Department of State,
Division of Historic Resources has identified one (1) site within the City which has potential
historic significance. Protection of this site will be accomplished through regulations contained
within the LDC (reference Chapter 3, Foundation Documents). The regulations will include
protection for the site referenced in this policy and will be developed in cooperation with the Office
of Secretary of State, Division of Historical Resources. The regulations will include provisions
which require the cessation of land disturbing activities any time artifacts with potential historical
significance are revealed during construction activities on any site with potential historical

change and plan amendment will promote compact urban development and not encourage urban
sprawl. The local planning agency shall be responsible for making such finding.
Policy 7.A.6.6 - The City shall continue to utilize the annexation policy adopted by the City
Council on May 29, 1990 as amended periodically (reference Chapter Four, Foundation
Document). This restrictive annexation policy requires an exhaustive review and evaluation before
any land is annexed into the City. Application of the standards contained within the policy will
terminate any opportunity for "leap -frog" type development. The LDC shall include requirements
and provisions necessary to implement this policy. Among others, the provisions and requirements
include:
(1) Only consider areas for annexation which are unincorporated, contiguous to
existing city boundaries, and are compact in form. Compact means the precluding
of any action which would create enclaves, pockets or serpentine -like patterns.
(2) Only consider areas for annexation in which the net revenues generated to the City
are equal to or greater than the net annual maintenance expenditures.
(3) Any capital improvements for the proposed annexation area which may be
necessary according to city standards shall be borne by the property owner
requesting annexation.
(4) Only annex property which improves the delineation of city limit boundaries.
Proposed annexation areas should make the city limit line clearly distinguishable
using a major traffic arterial, body of water, or anything else of significance which
physically and clearly identifies the boundary line. Note: zig-zagging of the City -
Page 7-12
Page 115 of 369
County lines makes the delivery of services (e.g., fire protection and police
protection) confusing and sometimes difficult.
(5)
Avoid making the center line of a street the City limit line. Rear property lines
should be utilized when possible. Note: When center lines are used, problems are
created in terms of police calls for traffic accidents, road maintenance, sanitation
service, street lights, etc.
(6) Existing Okaloosa County (unless stated otherwise by state law) zoning and land
use designations shall apply to lands being annexed into the corporate limits.
Further, a comprehensive plan amendment is required to complete the annexation
and to impose any City land use designation on the annexed property.
(7)
Allow adequate time for public input, notification and hearings pertaining to
annexation requests.
(8) Do not provide future City services in un-annexed areas until all areas in the City
are provided with services. Also, ensure levels of service of the city infrastructure
are not impaired pursuant to the comprehensive plan.
(9)
Follow the Municipal Annexation or Contraction Law, Chapter 171, Florida
Statutes, for proper boundary annexation criteria plus comply with the Settlement
Agreement, Case #00-3109-CA-TTB, City of Crestview versus Okaloosa County,
ordered November, 2000, by the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit in and
for Okaloosa County, Florida.

Objective 11.A.2 shall be prohibited.
Policy 11.A.2.5 - Any stormwater detention or retention areas located near surface waters or
surface water systems within the City shall be designed so that the shorelines are sinuous rather
than straight and so that water/land interfaces are curvilinear and maximize space for growth of
littoral vegetation.
Policy 11.A.2.6 - The City shall continue to operate its waste water spray field and disposal system
thereby eliminating effluent contributions to Trammel Creek.
Policy 11.A.2.7 - So as to provide economic incentives for the protection of wetlands by owners

development and similar techniques. In addition, density bonuses will be awarded for those
development applications which fully protect functioning wetlands within the City. Density
transfers may be accomplished on a 1 to 1 basis. Density bonuses will be defined within the LDC.
Nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted to prevent the City from requiring the clustering of
development on uplands because development must locate on the upland portion of the
development site, provided that sufficient uplands exist on such site. Where sufficient uplands do
not exist, development will be restricted, unless it can be documented that no reasonable
alternative, including clustering, is available and that the nature and degree of disturbance, if any,
is the minimum possible to achieve the lawful development (reference policy 11.A.4.5).

floodwaters across or through the site or parcel. Note: Pile supported structures are allowed when
regulatory agency permits or approvals have been obtained.
Policy 11.A.2.10 - Buffers will be created between development and environmentally sensitive
areas, including wetlands. The purpose of the buffer is to protect natural resources from the adverse
impacts of development. The buffer should function to:
(1) Provide protection to the natural resources from intrusive activities and adverse
impacts of development.
(2) The negative impacts of the uses upon each other must be minimized or, preferably,
eliminated by the buffers such that the long-term existence and viability of the
natural resources, including wildlife populations and wetlands, are not threatened
by such impacts and activities. In other words, incompatibility between the uses is
eliminated or minimized and the uses may be considered compatible.
(3)
Types of buffers: the buffer may be a landscaped natural barrier, a natural barrier
or a landscaped or natural barrier supplemented with fencing or other manmade
barriers, so long as the function of the buffer and intent of this Policy is fulfilled.

which shall include, but not be limited to, flood prone areas; wetlands under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Environmental Regulations or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and areas
identified by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory. The sensitive lands inventory shall be included
within the LDC (reference Policy 7.A.1.2 h)1J
Policy 11.A.3.4 - Extraction of minerals or other natural resources shall be permitted only where
compatible with adjacent land uses and where minimal resource degradation will occur (reference
Policy 7.A.4.2). For the purposes of this policy, "compatible with adjacent uses" shall be defined
as being conducted only within industrial zones of the City or incidental to approved construction
within the City. Minimal degradation shall be determined by appropriate regulatory agencies. Any

CHAPTER 14
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Section 14.01 Purpose: The purpose of the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) is to evaluate
the need for public facilities as identified in the other plan elements of this ordinance. Also, the
evaluation will:
(1) Estimate the cost of improvements for which the City of Crestview has fiscal
responsibility;
(2) Analyze the fiscal capability of the City to finance and construct improvements;
(3) Adopt financial policies to guide the funding of improvements; and
(4) Schedule funding and construction of improvements. This will insure the Capital
Improvements are conducted on a systematic and orderly basis to meet public
facility needs identified in the other plan elements of this Ordinance.
Section 14.02 Amendments: The capital improvements element shall be reviewed on an annual
basis and modified as necessary in accordance with 163.3187 F.S. However, corrections, updates,
and modification concerning costs; revenue sources; acceptance of facilities pursuant to
dedications which are consistent with this ordinance; or the date of construction of any facility
enumerated in the Capital Improvements Element may be accomplished by ordinance and shall
not be deemed to be amendments to the City's Plan.
Section 14.03 Data and Analysis: This element is based upon data and analysis found in the
Foundation Document supporting this Plan (Reference paragraphs 5.03 and 5.06 of this Ordinance
and Chapter 11 of the Foundation Documents).
This element is based upon the public facility needs identified in the other Comprehensive Plan
Elements and supports the Future Land Use Element. The geographic service area and location of
major system components for the Okaloosa County School System and the various health systems
within Crestview have been identified in other plan elements.
The existing revenue sources and funding mechanisms available for Capital Improvement
financing have been identified and can be found in Chapter 11 of the Foundation Document. The
current budgetary, administrative and policy practices which guide, (1) the timing and location of
construction of public facilities and/or (2) the timing and location of improvements in capacity of
public facilities, have been analyzed. The goals, objectives and policies of this element have been
formulated based, where appropriate, on this analysis
Section 14.04 Goals, Objectives, and Policies: The Goals, Objectives and Policies of this
element are as follows:

comprehensive plan elements of this ordinance (reference LOS Summary in Chapter 15 of this
ordinance).
Policy 14.A.2.3 - Provide for the availability of public facilities to serve developments for which
development orders were issued prior to the adoption of this ordinance. Note: No development

Policy 14.A.2.4 - The fiscal resources of the City of Crestview will be used, to the extent necessary,
to maintain LOS standards and support the five year schedule of Capital Improvements.
Policy 14.A.2.5 - Provide for the availability of public facilities and services needed to support
development concurrent with the impacts of such development subsequent to the adoption of this
ordinance (reference Policy 7.A.1.2). Implementation of this policy will be accomplished through
adoption of the concurrency management system described in Chapter Six of this ordinance. That
system requires that development orders or permits can not be issued unless public facilities that
meet the adopted LOS standards are available or are assured to be available concurrent with the

5.12, 6.01 and 14.06 and Policies 7.A.2.5, 8.A.3.3, 12.A.2.1, 13.A.1.1 13.A.2.3 and 14.A.1.1 of
this ordinance).
Obiective 14.A.3 - Through the City's impact fee programs, future development will bear a
proportionate cost of facility improvements necessitated by the development in order to adequately
maintain adopted LOS standards. Regulations will be included within the '4G City Code
(reference Policy 7.A.1.1) and the regulations will include methods of assessment. The methods
will include a series of variables based upon the size, character type and location of the
development and development's impact upon all City systems as well as the benefits the
development is anticipated to receive from such systems
Policy 14.A.3.1 - Provide for assessing new developments a pro rata share of the costs necessary
to finance public facility improvements necessitated by development in order to adequately
maintain adopted level of service standards in the Land Development Code (LDC) Ciry Code. The
pro rata share of cost necessary to finance public facility improvements will be determined based
upon the size of the proposed development, the land uses associated with the proposed
development, the impact the land uses are projected to have on public facilities and services upon
occupancy of the development, the benefits to be received by the development, and the
maintenance of LOS standards for all facilities impacted by the development.
Policy 14.A.3.2 - Include requirements within the LDC that exact physical
improvements to impacted systems (roads, utilities, etc.) by new developments or the
redevelopment of existing facilities. This policy will be implemented through the city's permitting
and inspection processt _
Objective 14.A.4 - The City of Crestview will provide or require provision of the needed
improvements identified in the other plan elements in this ordinance and manage the land
development process so that public facility needs created by previously issued development orders
or future development do not exceed the ability of The City of Crestview to fund and provide or
require provision of the needed capital improvements upon adoption of the LDC (reference
Chapter 6, Section 14.06, Objective 14.A.3, Policies 14.A.3.1 and 14.A.3.2 of this ordinance).
Policy 14.A.4.1 - A capital budget will be adopted by the City Council as a part of the annual
budgeting process. The Capital Budget (Capital Improvement Program) will be developed using
this element as a directory.
Policy 14.A.4.2 - Use the City of Crestview's fiscal policies to direct expenditures for capital
improvements which insure the implementation of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the other
plan elements in this ordinance (reference Section 14.06 of this ordinance).

Objective 16.B.3 - Upon adoption of this element, the City shall establish the "Highway
Commercial Districts" as shown on Figure 16-1 which is incorporated herein and made a part
hereof by reference.
Policy 16.B.3.1 - The Highway Commercial Districts (HCD) are designed to provide for a wide
range of uses in appropriate and easily accessible locations along US -90 and SR -85 North. The
HCD along SR -85 N. should continue to be characterized by automobile and other vehicular
service establishments, motels and hotels, business and professional offices, general retail facilities
(including strip centers), food and beverage establishments and other similar high -volume, high -
visibility uses. The HCD along U.S. 90 should be characterized by uses with requirements for easy
access, ample parking, moderate traffic volumes and high- to moderate -visibility. The U.S.90 HCD
should contain many of the same uses found along SR -85 together with light to moderate
manufacturing, industrial or assembly uses, outside sales yards, distribution facilities and other
uses which can be accommodated through the adaptive re -use of many of the existing structures
within the District.
Policy 16.B.3.2 - Since these Districts generally are located in close proximity to residential
districts with medium and high -density potentials, the City shall encourage and allow access points
to commercial activities through or near medium or high density residential areas. In other words,
favorable consideration shall be given to non -arterial access points when such is not contrary to
the public safety.
Policy 16.B.3.3 - Upon request, the City shall assist with applications for curb cuts or driveways
along US -90 and/or SR -85 when such curb cuts or driveways will enhance or improve on -site
traffic flow, create easier or more convenient access from the arterial roadway and when such curb
cut or driveway will not be deleterious to the operating conditions of the roadway (reference
Chapter 6). It is the intent of this policy that the City will assist in correcting some of the poorly
Page 16-4
Page 168 of 369
planned and inefficient curb cuts and driveways extant along both corridors. In addition, the City
will continue to encourage or require service roads consistent with Policy 8.A.1.5 and
interconnectivity of properties along the corridor. All new development or redevelopment
requesting approval shall be required to provide such interconnectivity when the property involved
is suitable for such interconnectivity as determined by the City during the development plan review
process.
Policy 16.B.3.4 - Identify potential funding sources necessary for improvements to public and
private properties. The funding sources may include CDBG Funds, special assessments or levies,
tax increment financing, enterprise fund proceeds, governmental appropriations and private
contributions.
Policy 16.B.3.5 - If determined feasible by the City Council, the City shall consider the feasibility
of using tax incentives for structural and property improvements completed in the Highway
Commercial Districts. Specifically, the City shall consider the costs and benefits of forgiving the
ad valorem proceeds to the City created by the increased value of improved structures or property
for a period consistent with Florida Law.
Policy 16.B.3.6 - Consistent with other Policies in this Plan (i.e. 7.A.1.2, 7.A.2.3, 9.A.4.2), the
City shall encourage the adaptive re -use of existing vacant structures within the Districts.
Policy 16.B.3.7 - Continually, the City shall coordinate with the Crestview Area Chamber of
Commerce and the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County to determine the types
of uses most likely to succeed when located in the HCDs. The (GFey l ",.,...,., etnent Communitk
Development Servicesbepartment shall identify thoseprograms of the Ciy, if any, which appear ...... Comment INS51]: Changed growth
to be impediments to the rehabilitation of existing structures and the economic vitality of the ,management to CDS
Districts.
Policy 16.B.3.8 - Any recommendations made pursuant to Policy 16.A.3.7 which require a change
in City processes or programs shall be submitted to the City government concurrent with the
reports required by Section 14.06 of this Plan.
Policy 16.B.4.9 - The provisions of policies 16.B.3.1 through 16.B.3.8 above apply only to those
properties and areas within the district which are within the jurisdiction of the City of Crestview.
To encourage and promote conformance with the provisions of this district for the development or
re -development of properties outside the City's jurisdiction, the City shall encourage Okaloosa
County to endorse and embrace these provisions. To accomplish this end, the City will use the
