Section 65403 Of Article 7. Administration Of General Plan From California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 7. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 7.
65403
. (a) Each special district, each unified, elementary, and
high school district, and each agency created by a joint powers
agreement pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of
Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 that constructs or maintains
public facilities essential to the growth and maintenance of an urban
population may prepare a five-year capital improvement program. This
section shall not preclude, limit, or govern any other method of
capital improvement planning and shall not apply to any district or
agency unless it specifically determines to implement this section.
As used in this section, "public facilities" means any of the
following:
(1) Public buildings, including schools and related facilities.
(2) Facilities for the storage, treatment, and distribution of
nonagricultural water.
(3) Facilities for the collection, treatment, reclamation, and
disposal of sewage.
(4) Facilities for the collection and disposal of storm waters and
for flood control purposes.
(5) Facilities for the generation of electricity and the
distribution of gas and electricity.
(6) Transportation and transit facilities, including, but not
limited to, streets, roads, harbors, ports, airports, and related
facilities.
(7) Parks and recreation facilities. However, this section shall
not apply to a special district which constructs or maintains parks
and recreation facilities if the annual operating budget of the
district does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).
(b) The five-year capital improvement program shall indicate the
location, size, time of availability, means of financing, including a
schedule for the repayment of bonded indebtedness, and estimates of
operation costs for all proposed and related capital improvements.
The five-year capital improvement program shall also indicate a
schedule for maintenance and rehabilitation and an estimate of useful
life of all existing and proposed capital improvements.
(c) The capital improvement program shall be adopted by, and shall
be annually reviewed and revised by, resolution of the governing
body of the district or local agency. Annual revisions shall include
an extension of the program for an additional year to update the
five-year program. At least 60 days prior to its adoption or annual
revision, as the case may be, the capital improvement program shall
be referred to the planning agency of each affected city and county
within which the district or agency operates, for review as to its
consistency with the applicable general plan, any applicable specific
plans, and all elements and parts of the plan. Failure of the
planning agency to report its findings within 40 days after receipt
of a capital improvement program or revision of the program shall be
conclusively deemed to constitute a finding that the capital
improvement program is consistent with the general plan.
A district or local agency shall not carry out its capital
improvement program or any part of the program if the planning agency
finds that the capital improvement program or a part of the capital
improvement program is not consistent with the applicable general
plan, any specific plans, and all elements and parts of the plan. A
district or local agency may overrule the finding and carry out its
capital improvement program.
(d) Before adopting its capital improvement program, or annual
revisions of the program, the governing body of each special
district, each unified, elementary, and high school district, and
each agency created by a joint powers agreement shall hold at least
one public hearing. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall
be given pursuant to Section 65090. In addition, mailed notice shall
be given to any city or county which may be significantly affected
by the capital improvement program.
