Existing revenue sources and funding mechanisms available for capital improvement financing, such as ad valorem taxes, bonds, state funds, federal funds, gas taxes and impact fees shall be inventoried.
The purpose of the conservation element is to provide a guide for the conservation,
responsible use, and protection of the natural resources located within the County. The
element provides a means to protect the beneficial qualities of the natural environment
and thereby enhance the public health, safety, welfare and quality of life of its citizens.
The Economic Element consists of two sections: a Data Inventory and Analysis (DIA) section; and a Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) section. Below is the DIA section while the GOPs (found under separate cover) will be developed from the data presented here and will provide the methods to implement the strategies to achieve the economic development goals of Lake County.
The purpose of the Housing Element is to identify where surpluses and deficits
exist in the current and future County housing supply and to develop the appropriate
plans and policies which will guide the production of the quantity and types of housing
units necessary to meet the identified demand.
Intergovernmental coordination is essential in the growth management process since many of the
impacts associated with growth do not adhere to jurisdictional boundaries. The intent of this
element is to identify the issues and agencies where coordination is essential for effective growth
management.
Methodology, data, and logic used by the Staff of the Lake County Growth Management Planning & Community Design Division in estimating the future population of our rapidly expanding county. As you work your way through this document, and the supporting document Lake County Municipal and Unincorporated Projections, you will be presented with the reasoning behind our firmly held belief that the average of the BEBR medium and BEBR high projections—which are but 2% from our estimates—is the most accurate projection for our county.
Lake County does not own, operate, or maintain any wastewater systems nor does Lake County have any water or sewer serviced areas. Municipal governments provide sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment within their jurisdictions and in adjacent areas that may be annexed as development in the county continues. Septic systems and private wastewater treatment plants (package plants) treat waste in unincorporated Lake County.
Brief summary of existing and planned recreation facilities, trails, blueways and environmental lands. Trails, blueways, and environmental lands are listed in separate sections.
In September 2005, Lake County was selected as a pilot community for the state’s new school concurrency initiative. The School Concurrency requirement for all counties, municipalities, and school boards across the state of Florida, is a result of the approval of Senate Bill 360. The bill overhauls the state’s growth management laws. Commonly referred to as the “pay-as-you-grow plan”, the bill dedicates new funding and stipulates policies that, when implemented, will help to ensure that the school needs of communities are met.
An inventory of the existing traffic circulation system has been prepared as the basis for examining the existing roadway deficiencies and determining future roadway needs. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Lake County provide the data necessary for the inventory of the existing system. The traffic circulation system consists of roads within the County which are part of both the State Highway and County Roadway Systems.
