Ensure that public facilities provided in rural areas are compatible with
rural character.
Establish level of services standards in the rural area that are
appropriate for rural areas.
Capital facilities plans should cover the 20-year planning horizon and address the entire urban
growth area (UGA) .
Financial plans should address at minimum a 6-year period and funding sources should be
specific.
Existing un-served areas in the UGA must be addressed as well as new UGA expansion
areas.
County, city, Tribal, and special districts provide capital facilities for growth in their respective
jurisdictions, and have contributed to this capital facilities element of the Kitsap County
Comprehensive Plan (Plan). The types of capital facilities addressed under this element include:
Public buildings
Fire protection
Law enforcement

The LOS standards of public facilities are set forth in the County CFP (20132018), provided in Appendix A. (Note: "per person" or "per 1,000 population,"
as used in Appendix A, means population of the jurisdiction that provides the
public facility, unless otherwise indicated.) The County may create separate

Capital Facilities
This process is repeated with each update of the Kitsap CFP, thus
allowing for changes in priorities among types of public facilities.
2. Facilities of the same type. Capital improvements within a type of public
facility should be evaluated on the following criteria and considered in
the order of priority listed below. The County should establish the final
priority of all capital facility improvements using the following criteria
as general guidelines. Any revenue source that cannot be used for a high
priority facility should be used beginning with the highest priority for
which the revenue can legally be expended.
a. Reconstruction, rehabilitation, remodeling, renovation, or
replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities that contribute to
achieving or maintaining standards for levels of service adopted in
this Plan.
b. New or expanded facilities that reduce or eliminate deficiencies in
levels of service for existing demand. Expenditures in this priority
category include equipment, furnishings, and other improvements
necessary for the completion of a public facility (e.g., recreational
facilities and park sites).
c. New public facilities, and improvements to existing public facilities,
that eliminate public hazards if hazards were not otherwise
eliminated by facility improvements prioritized according to Policies
a or b, above.
d. New or expanded facilities that provide the adopted levels of service
for new development and redevelopment during the next six fiscal
years, as updated by the regular review of the CFP no less frequently
than every 2 years. The County may acquire land or right-of-way in
advance of the need to develop a facility for new development. The
location of facilities constructed pursuant to this Policy conforms to
Chapter 2, Land Use, and specific project locations serve projected
growth areas within the allowable land use categories. If the planned
capacity of public facilities is insufficient to serve all applicants for
development permits, the capital improvements are scheduled to
serve the following priority order:

County to fund, or within the County's authority to require others

Policy CF-6
Policy CF-7
Kitsap County, along with cities and special purposes districts, should develop
long-term funding strategies that include, but not limited to, the following
funding options:
1. Existing development (1) pays for the capital improvements 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 capital improvements

needed by future development, and (2) payments may take the form of user fees,
charges for services, special assessments and taxes.
2. Future development pays its fair share of the capital
improvements needed to address the impact of its
development, and may pay a portion of the cost of the
replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities. Upon
completion of construction, "future" development
becomes "existing" development and contributes to
paying the costs of the replacement of obsolete or
worn out facilities as described in paragraph 1 of this
policy.
3. 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,
mitigation payments, capacity fees, dedications of land, provision of public
facilities, future payments of user fees, charges for services special assessments
and taxes. Future development does not pay impact fees for the portion of any
public facility that reduces or eliminates deficiencies existing at the time of
approval.
4. 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.
5. Reassess the allocation of existing funding sources and prioritize capital facility
expenditures.
6. If steps one thru five do not remedy the deficiency of capital facility provision,
Kitsap County should evaluate Policy LU-19.

Capital Facilities
The County does not provide a public facility, nor does it accept the provision of
a public facility by others, if the County or other provider is unable to pay for the
subsequent annual operating and maintenance costs of the facility.
Policy CF-10
If sources of revenue listed under "Projected Costs and Revenues" require voter
approval in a local referendum that has not been held, and a referendum is not
held or is held and is not successful, this Comprehensive Plan is revised at the
next annual amendment to adjust for the lack of such revenues, in any of the
following ways:
1. Reduce the level of service for one or more public facilities;
2. Increase the use of other sources of revenue;
3. Decrease the cost, and therefore the quality of some types of public
facilities while retaining the quantity of the facilities that is inherent in
the standard for level of service;
4. Decrease the demand for and subsequent use of capital facilities;
5. A combination of the above alternatives.
Policy CF-11
All development permits issued by the County that require capital improvements
financed by sources of revenue that have not been approved or implemented
(such as future debt requiring referenda) are conditioned on the approval or
implementation of the indicated revenue sources, or the substitution of a
comparable amount of revenue from existing sources.
Policy CF-12
Finance the 6-year CFP within the County's financial capacity. If the projected
funding is inadequate to finance needed capital facilities based on adopted level
of service and forecasted growth, make adjustments to the level of service, the
land use element, the sources of revenue, or any combination, to achieve a
balance between available revenue and needed capital facilities. This policy
constitutes Kitsap County's response to the requirement of Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) 36.70A.070(3)(e).

and public transportation routes.
1. The multiple use of corridors for major utilities, trails and transportation
rights-of-way is encouraged.
2. Some public capital facilities, such as those for waste handling, may be
more appropriately located outside of urban growth areas (UGAs) due to
exceptional bulk or potentially dangerous or objectionable
characteristics. Public facilities located beyond UGAs should be selfcontained or be served by urban governmental services in a manner that
will not promote sprawl. Utility and service consideration must be
incorporated into site planning and development.
3. Kitsap County shall develop regulations for development that promote
sewer connectivity between UGA parcels or tracts.
