This ordinance adopts a modification to the City of Jacksonville's 2045 Comprehensive Plan, specifically updating the Five-Year Capital Improvements Schedule of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-2030. This is an annual update mandated by Florida Statutes to ensure the city's infrastructure plans align with adopted Level of Service standards and the Mobility System.

Key Components of the Schedule:

• City Projects: Includes projects from the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), covering roads, bridges, sidewalks, public safety facilities (e.g., new Fire Station #67 at $13.3 million), public facilities (e.g., Municipal Stadium Renovations totaling $608.5 million over three years, MOSH Building Relocation at $47 million), parks (e.g., Riverfront Plaza at $45.28 million), environmental remediation (e.g., JAX Ash Site Pollution Remediation at $2 million annually), and drainage improvements.
• Transportation: Incorporates projects from the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization's (TPO) Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and Long Range Transportation Plan, as well as the City's Mobility System Projects. This includes significant state-funded road and bridge projects (e.g., I-95 widening projects totaling hundreds of millions), and Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) initiatives like the Emerald Trail ($35.9 million over three years) and U2C (Skyway conversion) projects.
• Utilities: Features extensive capital projects from Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) for electric, water, and sewer systems, with total projected investments of $2.97 billion for electric, $754.39 million for water, and $1.87 billion for sewer over the five-year period.
• Port & Airport: Includes capital improvements for the Jacksonville Port Authority (JPA) totaling $637.15 million (e.g., Blount Island Berth 30,31 & 32 construction at $152.5 million) and the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) for its airports (e.g., JIA Concourse B Program at $9 million in FY26).

While the adoption of this ordinance itself incurs no direct cost to the City, it formalizes a multi-billion dollar capital investment plan across various city and regional entities, funded by local, state, federal, and private sources.
