P WK 69 FA'GE 295 On April 14, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to authorize transmittal of this Comprehensive Plan amendment request to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a required 90 day review period. As originally presented, this proposed amendment had included one additional request, that of adding 45th Avenue as 'a north/south secondary collector between 65th and 69th Streets. Since the Board at its April 14, 1987, meeting voted not to authorize transmittal of that request, the request was then deleted as a part of the proposed amendment. On July 17, 1987, the Planning Department received comments from DCA relative to this Comprehensive Plan amendment application. The DCA's comments on this request are as follows: "The review indicated that the proposed amendments are consistent with statutory requirement." The DCA also submitted comments from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Their comments are as follows: TCRPC: "The proposed amendments are not in conflict or _ inconsistent with the policies of Council's proposed Comprehensive Plan." FDOT: "The six proposed adjustments to the Thoroughfare Plan appear consistent with planned future development and anticipated traffic demands." ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS These requested amendments are based upon accommodating traffic demand generated by existing as well as future planned growth located in these areas.. In addition, the siting of the Bent Pine development in the planned 43rd Avenue corridor north of 57th Street warrants eliminating that road from the Thoroughfare Plan. The requested addition to the Thoroughfare Plan of 102nd Terrace as a secondary collector located next to Hetra Industries is substantiated by the fact that eighty feet (801) of right-of-way exists and a portion of the road is already paved. Also, the County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates a 650 acre Industrial/Commercial Node at the intersection of I-95 and C.R. 512. These 650 acres are designated for future industrial and commercial development in this area and will require additional major roads. The recent expansion of this node to 650 acres justifies the addition of 102nd. Terrace, 106th Avenue, and 85th Avenue to the Thoroughfare Plan as secondary collectors. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation and the Transportation Planning Committee's recommendation, staff recommends approval of these changes to the Thoroughfare Plan as an amendment to the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he declared the Public Hearing closed. 34 M M
