PAGE 63 GOP Number GOP Language Recommended Action Comments/Rationale d) Special zip code analysis for a representative land use in proximity to the proposed site. e) FSUTMS travel model results including trip tables by trip purpose. f) Gravity model. - Existing levels of service shall be calculated for all signalized and major unsignalized intersections within the study area for afternoon peak hours during the peak season. Existing peak hours will be identified from traffic counts between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., using 15 -minute intervals. Counts not taken during the peak season shall be factored, based on county traffic counts in the project area, to represent peak season conditions. Level of service calculations shall be based on the Operational Analysis methodology described in the latest edition of the Highway Capacity Manual. - Future levels of service shall be calculated for the buildout date of the proposed project, as well as for any intermediate development phases. Conditions with and without the proposed development shall be evaluated and documented. Conditions with the development shall be based on a combined traffic volume of the projected peak hour/peak season traffic generated by the site and the projected peak hour/peak season background traffic. The background traffic shall be calculated based on one of the following methods: a) Increase the existing peak season traffic to the buildout date based on historical growth trends over a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years. Traffic generated by committed developments, which would impact the study area, shall also be included subject to appeal to reviewing agencies. b) Increase the existing peak season traffic to the buildout date based on an interpolation using traffic volumes projected by the county. The county reserves the right to require method "a" to be used if it feel s traffic projections may be inaccurate due to recent changes in land use or roadway improvements. - Roadway improvements which are committed and scheduled to be complete at or before the project buildout, or development phase date, may be included when calculating future levels of service. - Roadway improvements, which are necessary to maintain projected peak hour-peak season peak direction conditions at a level of service consistent with Policy 1.1, shall be identified. Policy 1.6: The county shall maintain its traffic impact fee process and shall update the fee schedule at least once every five years. No Change Policy 1.7: By 2023, the county shall consider imposing part or all of the ELMS one to five cent local option gas tax. Revise Update date(s) and retain/ keep language in case revenues change or the desire changes in the future. Policy 1.8: The county hereby adopts the MPO’s Congestion Management Process Plan. In so doing, the county recognizes that the MPO is responsible for conducting an annual congestion management system analysis, and the county commits to programming those safety improvements identified as necessary in the CMP analysis. Such recommended improvements may include signalization improvements, channelization measures, turn lane restrictions, and other strategies. No Change Policy 1.9: The county will collect traffic count data on all thoroughfare roads on an annual basis. These data will be utilized to develop an annual report on the Level of Service provided on major area roads. These findings will then be used to identify improvement needs and associated costs required to maintain the Levels of Service identified in Policy 1.1. No Change Policy 1.10: The county will, through its land development regulations, establish design standards providing, at minimum, for the following: ° Adequate storage and turning bays; ° Spacing and design of median openings and curb cuts; ° Provision of service roads or other means of shared access and interconnections; ° Driveway access and spacing; and ° Traffic operations.
