(a) In general.

Each streetscape plan must provide both an annual and long-term budget for the anticipated costs of the plan.

(1) need not be limited to costs imposed directly on each abutting property owner;

(2) may include or provide for:

(i) a deferred payment arrangement of the kind authorized in § 10-7 of this article; and

(ii) contributions from any public or private entity or body; and

(3) may contain elements that are to be implemented only if contributions are obtained or provided from public or private entities or bodies.

(d) Maintenance and repair.

Every streetscape plan must consider and address the costs and allocation of responsibility for regular maintenance and repair.
