According to federal law, adjustments can be made to the Urban Boundary, as long as the adjusted <br /> boundary includes all of the Census Urbanized Area. Adjustments can be made in order to eliminate <br /> inconsistencies in the data and make a more logical, smoother boundary. If, for example,there is a <br /> small enclave of rural development between two residential or industrial areas,then FHWA permits <br /> the entire area to be included in the Urban Boundary so that any new roadways linking the two areas <br /> can be classified as urban roadways and use urban area highway funds. The Attached map reflects <br /> a number of adjustments made by FDOT in conjunction with MPO and County staff. <br /> As shown on the attached map, the proposed 2010 FHWA Urban Boundary is similar to the 2000 <br /> FHWA Urban Boundary. Some of the areas included in the draft 2010 Urban Boundary include <br /> areas annexed by the City of Fellsmere near I-95; an area between 58th Avenue and 66th Avenue in <br /> Central Indian River County; and the area between 58th Avenue and I-95 in South Indian River <br /> County. <br /> Since County, MPO, and FDOT staff have coordinated extensively on the Urban Boundary <br /> delineation, County staff concurs with the Urban Boundary as depicted on the. attached map. <br /> FUNDING <br /> There is no funding associated with this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the BCC consider the adjusted Urban Area Boundary Map,approve the Map, <br /> and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners <br /> to sign a Letter of Concurrence with the proposed Urban Boundary. <br /> ATTACHMENT <br /> 1.
