• 10. Traffic Circulation: Although the plan proposes a reduction in overall commercial building area the proposal for restaurant/fast-food uses will result in an increase in traffic from the former Vero Mall traffic levels. This level of traffic increase was addressed through the plan review process. There are four existing driveways that connect to the site. Two of these driveways are on U.S. 1 and two are on 12°' Street. These existing driveways will remain with some upgrading, and will continue to service the site. The internal circulation plan will be modified to provide a more efficient parking lot layout. The internal circulation plan has been reviewed and approved by the county Traffic Engineering Division. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been reviewed and approved. Based on the TIA, there is one off-site improvement and one on-site improvement that need to be constructed. The off- site improvement is re -activation of the traffic signal at the site's easternmost 12th Street driveway (aligns with Commerce Avenue to the south). The on-site improvement required is a dual egress lane at the main (easternmost) driveway on 12th Street. The final major site plan application will need to provide a dual egress lane driveway design that is acceptable to the County Traffic Engineering Division. 11.

Therefore, no wetland permits are required. 15.
