PAGE 64 GOP Number GOP Language Recommended Action Comments/Rationale Policy 1.11: The county will, through its land development regulations, continue to require that all development projects provide a sufficient number of parking spaces for both motorized and non-motorized vehicles. Sufficient parking will be based upon information from ITE (Institute of Traffic Engineers) parking data and parking studies regarding demand by use category. The county will periodically review its off-street parking requirements, identifying minimum spaces per land use category, delineating space size, providing for shared parking, setting internal circulation standards, and addressing other parking characteristics. No Change New Policy By 2030, the County will study and consider a mobility planning approach in lieu of transportation concurrency. Policy 1.12: The county hereby adopts the 2040 Cost Feasible Plan projects list (Table 4.9.3) and, in so doing, acknowledges the MPO Long Range Transportation Plan as the means of maintaining level of service and mobility in the county. Revise Remove policy reference to specific plan. Current plan is 2045, but the 2050 plan is under development and is anticipated to be adopted by the end of 2025. Objective 2 For the period from 2009 to 2030, crash and fatality rates per vehicle mile traveled will be reduced at least by 1% each year. Revise Revise to reference 5-year rolling average instead of annual; also include reference to FDOT's "Target Zero" for fatalities and serious injuries. Policy 2.1: The county will maintain an accurate crash database. Remove County no longer has database. Signal4 Analytics, which IRC does not maintain but is considered the gold standard for crash data in Florida, will be used instead. Policy 2.2: The county will on an ongoing basis review crash records to determine if intersection, operational, or other improvements, including bike/ped improvements, are necessary to enhance safety and will program necessary improvements. No Change Policy 2.3: In conjunction with the Indian River County School District, the MPO, and municipalities in Indian River County, the county will assess pedestrian access conditions at schools and participate in the Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) grant program. No Change Policy 2.4: The county will develop its ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) infrastructure in a manner consistent with FDOT and national ITS architectural standards and will participate with FDOT in deploying emerging ITS technologies. No Change Policy 2.5: The county shall review all proposed development projects to ensure that all shared or private access driveways, new roadway connections, and on-site traffic flow will be provided in a safe manner and that frontage/marginal access roads or other means of shared access and interconnections will be provided along arterials. No Change Policy 2.6: The county will ensure that the installation of all traffic control devices is consistent with the standards contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD will be the standard used by the county to determine the need for traffic control improvements, including signalization. No Change Policy 2.7: The county will review on-site traffic flow for all proposed development projects to ensure that circulation for motorized and non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians can be accommodated safely. No Change Objective 3 By 2035, the county will have acquired the right-of-way needed for all county collector and arterial roads and all mass transit corridors within the urban area where improvements are identified in the 2040 Cost Feasible Long Range Transportation Plan. Revise Update planning/target horizon date. Additional consideration: The County will seek to acquire right of way needed for all county collector and arterial roads and mass transit corridors within the urban area where improvements continue to be identified. Policy 3.1: The county recognizes that road right-of-way must accommodate the travel way, roadside recovery areas, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, drainage facilities, and utility lines. Accordingly, the county hereby adopts minimum right -of-way standards as defined below. Type Of Facility: Urban Rural U.S. 1 Corridor - 8LD 200 --- No Change
