PUBLIC HEARING:  YES                       QUASI-JUDICIAL:  NO 

 

 

EXPLANATION:  The Wellington Comprehensive Plan is being updated. The Plan forms the blueprint for Wellington’s future for the next 10 to 20 years. The Plan is comprised of 10 “elements” or chapters and each element consists of goals, objectives, and policies to guide development and redevelopment, transportation, infrastructure, parks, and capital improvements 

 

SUMMARY:                     The Public Facilities Element addresses infrastructure facilities and services for Wellington, including potable water and wastewater, surface water management, and solid waste, as required by Florida Statutes. The proposed element now also includes transportation, public buildings and facilities. The element goals, objectives, and policies have been reorganized into five goals; one goal and associated objectives and policies for each of the components of infrastructure. The principles continued from the current Infrastructure Element include:

•                     Water and wastewater capacity fees

•                     Water supply planning

•                     Water conservation

•                     Stormwater and flood plain management

 

Several new principles have been added to the element, including:

•                     a multi-modal transportation and circulation system; consistent with the Mobility Element

•                     a comprehensive program for maintaining and upgrading public facilities, including facility resiliency, renewable energy, and technology

 

In general, the element addresses the management of the Village’s public facilities and infrastructure services to meet demand and ensure future demands and service requirements are met.
