(2) Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities exist or can be provided in an efficient manner.
(3) Encourage the retention of open space, development of recreational opportunities, access to natural resource lands and water, and development of parks. Existing managed public access to public forest lands for recreation should be maintained.
(4) Establish level of service (LOS) standards for County public facilities.
(5) Prepare a six (6) year financial plan for any public facilities which need to be developed as a result of LOS requirements and projected changes in population. The six (6) year financial plan should be based on cost estimates for capital improvements which are identified in the plan. See Table 14 and 15 for a summary of the financing plan.
(6) Allow private investment to assist in the accomplishment of achieving LOS.
(7) Ensure that the costs of operation and maintenance are analyzed to assure that future budgets will be able to maintain facilities.
(8) Coordinate the Capital Facilities Plan with other elements of the Clallam County Comprehensive Plan.
(9) The Capital Facilities Plan should be coordinated and be consistent, where possible, with the plans and policies of other entities within the region, adjacent counties, and municipalities.
(10) The street and utility LOS standards adopted by the City of Port Angeles in its Capital Facilities Plan and/or urban services ordinance shall apply within the Port Angeles urban growth area.
