It identifies the City’s long-range goals, is a guide for future land use decisions, includes data and visualizations, is the basis for zoning regulations, expresses a community’s future vision, and has policies that act as a playbook for community initiatives and capital improvements. Project Overview What does the process look like from now until the adoption of a new comprehensive plan? Current Plan Analysis + Amendment Matrix Goals, Objectives, + Policies Data Inventory + Analysis Adoption + Transmittal August 2023 September - October 2023 November 2023 - January 2024 February - May 2024 We are here. Current Plan Analysis + Amendment Matrix We looked at the following: • Requirements of your current Comprehensive Plan policies which defer implementation through the Land Development Code. • Legislative changes that have occurred since 2011 that impact your plan • 2022 Florida Statutes for any changes necessary to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies Current Plan Analysis + Amendment Matrix We found that there are many minor amendments needed to update citations and references to the Florida Statutes, and several policies that are required by Florida Stature that need to be added. • Concurrency methodology in relation to payment of fees for parks and transportation • Impact fee methodology to determine the fee required by development • Urban sprawl criteria for determination • Policy regarding school location in proximity to urban residential area • Mixed-use development needs to include percentage distribution of uses • Future land use amendment policies • Transportation policies addresses existing and projected levels of service and needs • Multimodal transportation policies • Transit-oriented mixed-use development policies • Water supply projects and requirements • More expansive conservation policies around air and water quality • Affordable housing creation and/or preservation • Annexation and joint infrastructure services areas to be included • Intergovernmental dispute policy language • More expansive public facilities policies that address capacity and level of service • Updated map series with all required maps and data Data Inventory and Analysis 8.7% of units are vacant Nearly 80% of units are single- family. Vacancy rates at five (5) percent or lower indicate a housing shortage, and typically cause a higher cost of housing. However, more than half of Crestview residents pay pay more than thirty (30) percent of their household income for gross rent. This indicates an opportunity to expand housing policy to include additional multi-family and “missing middle” housing options. Housing Where would you like to see more variety of housing types?

Should any of these existing designations be consolidated? Future Land Use The current population estimate (2020) is 27,134. The projection for year 2040 is 34,545 or an increase of 7,411 persons (21%). This increase creates a demand for an additional 3,045 housing units assuming a household size of 2.43 residents. With the up to eight (8) units per gross acre allowable by the Residential Future Land Use Category, the City will need almost 214 acres of new owner-occupied units. In the Mixed-Use Future Land Use Category at up to 20 units per gross acre, the City will need approximately 67 acres of new renter-occupied units at a maximum build-out of that category. Economic Development The City continues to grow with a projected population in 2050 of 35,830. The demographics of the City show that more young families with higher disposable income are choosing to locate in Crestview. The overall population has higher educational attainment than surrounding communities. This is likely due to the available higher education opportunities and major employers. The major employers in the city are in the healthcare, retail, and military and defense industries. Industry diversification, expanding tourism opportunities, and optimizing the success of small businesses will be key for Crestview. This is a new element for the City. What are your priorities for the economic growth and sustainability of the City of Crestview? Transportation In 2021, the Crestview Mobility Plan was created to provide a road map for a more efficient, multi-modal transportation system to service all users’ mobility needs. However, most of the trips to the downtown area are made vehicles with very little travel by walking, bicycling, or riding transit due to the lack of bicycle lanes, unsafe or disconnected sidewalk facilities, and a singular public transit stop. What are your priorities for multi- modal transportation to address safety and traffic concerns? Infrastructure The City maintains extensive public infrastructure and facilities. Storm drainage systems, water treatment and transmission systems, wastewater (sanitary sewer) collection and pumping systems are all maintained by the City. This infrastructure provides property owners, residents and visitors to the city with a high quality of life. What is your appetite to expand utility service beyond the City limits? Capital Improvements The level of service metrics will be updated and included in this element to adequately forcast future supply and demand needs for the City. What projects are a priority for you in the future using the FY2024 budget as a benchmark for the short-term? Recreation + Open Space The City of Crestview contains approximately 126 acres of recreation and open space. Based on the population of 28,234, the total park acreage represents 4.4 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The current adopted level of service for parks is 1 acre per 1,000 people, which shows that Crestview is doing well at providing parkland for its residents. Crestview has a balanced system that provides a diversity of recreational opportunities. The balance between expanding the system and maintaining existings assets will be important. Which existing facilities could use more or different amenities? Conservation 11% of residential land use (FLU) are wetlands. The City does not currently participate in the Community Rating System, which works to reduce homeowners’ costs to purchase flood insurance. There are 2,279 acres of wetlands within the City limits. The largest amount of this total is within the “Residential” FLU category at 558.72 acres, or 11% of the “Residential” acreage. Are there any policies or programs you would like to see that could help better conserve Crestview’s natural resources? Intergovernmental Coordination Transportation coordination and the collaboration with the Okaloosa County School District currently have great structure and coordination. Additional policy regarding the creation of joint planning areas, the dispute resolution process, and the coordination of annexations is needed. Additional coordination regarding regional resources can be also included to better coordinate development impacts to such assets. Are there areas of governmental coordination that can be improved to better serve residents? Let’s confirm your priorities. Next Steps When will we engage with this group again and what will the goal be of those conversations?
