• <br />Transportation Element Policy 1.2 <br />This policy sets the following guidelines for the evaluation and ranking of road projects: <br />a. whether the project is needed to protect public health and safety. to fulfill the county's legal <br />commitment to provide facilities and services. or to preserve or achieve full use of existing <br />facilities: <br />b. whether the project increases efficiency of use of existing facilities. prevents or reduces <br />future improvement costs. provides service to developed areas lacking full service. or <br />promotes in -fill development: <br />whether the project represents a logical extension of facilities and services within a <br />designated urban service area: <br />d. whether the project is the most cost effective alternative: and <br />e. whether the project provides the least adverse impact to the environment of the options. <br />Construction of 8151 Street between 58th Avenue and Old Dixie Highway. without a railroad crossing. <br />is not consistent with any of the above guidelines. Therefore, the referenced segment of 8151 Street <br />does not need to be a Thoroughfare Plan road. and the request to remove that segment from the <br />Thoroughfare Plan Map is consistent with Transportation Element Policv 1.2. <br />Consistency Summary <br />As part of its consistency analysis, staff compared the proposed request to all applicable objectives <br />and policies in the plan and found no conflicts. Therefore, the request is consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan. - <br />CONCLUSION <br />The proposed amendment corrects an oversight in the comprehensive plan. The referenced segment <br />is now. and will likely always be, without a railroad crossing. Therefore, 8P' Street will probably <br />always be unconnected between 58th Avenue and Old Dixie Highway. For that reason. it is unlikely <br />that that segment will ever be constructed. and designation on the Thoroughfare Plan Map is not <br />necessary. Staff supports the request. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners amend Transportation Element Figure 4.13 to remove 8151 Street. between <br />58'h Avenue and Old Dixie Highway. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
