I D. PHASING BASIC PUBLIC FACILITIES
I
Devel oµnent of the North Bay shore Study Area is 1 imi ted not only by the natural em1frorrnent of the area, but al so by existing public facilities. Before exten sive develoµnent can occur as proposed by the Plan, the introduction of new facilities and the expansion of the existing facilities must take place. -, Because there is a substantial need for public facilities in the area and the total cost of these facilities is so high, the programming of these facilities is critical and should be integrated with city-wide capital improvement sched- uling.
proposed phasing program for construction and a s·uqgested fundin method for Section 2 of the Area Pl an describes the needs of basic facilities and services. /
, the · ' onsibil ity is outlined in Appendix VIII. e phasing program A
g
c ver�a time pe ,ng from . This period has been divided into four phases. The projects within each phase are grouped according to the logical develoµnent patterns needed for the area, the availability of funds, and/ or the established planning and construction schedules. However, changes in develoµnent and availability may cause a shift of projects from one phase to another.
The pros and cons of each suggested financing method for these public facilities are many, depending on the economic condition and bond rating of the City. A professional bond counsel should be consulted to detern1ine which method is best for Mountain View at the time of implementation.
E. OTHER EXPENDITURES
There are other costs covered by City property and sales taxes which will occur because of increased urbanization and activity in the study as proposed by the Area Pl an.
l • Po 1 ice
Devel oµnent of this Pl an may necessitate the creation of or expansion of a police beat to service this area. There will be no major capital costs associated with the police beat; but annual operating costs will increase with demands for service.
2. Fi re
A current fire station location exists at Stierlin and
Plymouth. The construction and staffing of this fire sta tion will not.be required if the density of develoµnent is controlled and sufficient built-in fire protection is pro vided at develoµnent. Fire suppression would then be pro vided by existing stations.
The proposed zoning would require on-going fire prevention efforts equal to one ( l) man-year at ultimate develoµnent. -66-
