The Community Services and Facilities Element provides policies and actions on health care facilities, child care and senior care facilities, libraries, police stations, fire stations, and other municipal facilities such as maintenance yards. A well-balanced and adequate public facility system is a key part of the city's drive to sustain and enhance the quality of life for its residents. 1100.1
Several District departments and other government agencies are responsible for the planning, management, and oversight of the District's community services and facilities. This Element incorporates planning and policy guidance from the short-term and long-range plans and programs of these agencies. These agencies must coordinate their capital improvement plans with the District's land use plans so that the city can continue delivering essential services to existing customers while accommodating projected growth. 1100.2
The critical community services and facilities issues facing the District of Columbia are addressed in this Element. These include:
* Assessing, rehabilitating, and maintaining facilities and lands to provide efficient delivery of public services to existing and future District residents
* Investment in and renewal of the public library system
* Providing facilities to offer affordable and high-quality health care services. 1100.3
