Traffic Study Discussion - Attachment 1
Indian River County Code Sections

methodology. He relayed that a traffic study is required for any enterprise that

Process Advisory Committee (DRPPAC) Committee to explore: (1)
Indian River County Florida
Page 13

Meeting Minutes - Final October 17, 2017
appropriate guidelines for the Pre -Application Meeting requirement; and (2) the
process of advancing from the Pre -Application to the Technical Review
Committee meeting.
Public Works Director Richard Szyprka acknowledged that the County's
requirement for a traffic study at a threshold of 100 trips or more is not
beneficial for the small developers and needs to be evaluated. He plans to
suggest to the DRPPAC Committee, a threshold of 350 trips as the qualifier for
the Pre -Application Conference.
Community Development Director Stan Boling conveyed that even with small
projects, staff has to evaluate the traffic impacts. He assured Commissioner
Zorc that this item will be discussed at the upcoming DRPPAC Committee
meeting on October 18, 2017. He also asked Board Members to keep in mind
that certain standards have been implemented due to the demographics of the
community.

Agenda includes the topic "Evaluating Submittal Requirements for
Pre -Application Conference and Formal Application" and that this will include
traffic study requirements, as well as staffs suggestions for streamlining the
process.
The Board consensus was for staff, in conjunction with the Development
Review and Permit Process Advisory Committee (DRPPAC), to discuss the
Traffic Impact Study requirements, and to report back to the Board.
