As required by Florida Statute Ch. 163.3177(6)(b)(1), Nassau County’s Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element addresses traffic circulation, including the types, locations, and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares and transportation routes, including bicycle and pedestrian ways. The element also includes maps showing the general location of the existing and proposed transportation system features and is coordinated with the Future Land Use Map and with the plans and programs of any applicable metropolitan planning organization, transportation authority, and the Department of Transportation adopted work program.

The current Transportation Element and Transportation Element Future Transportation Map Series (FTMS) was amended in 2020 to be consistent with the North Florida TPO’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and serves as a basis for the update to the County’s adopted Mobility Plan and the ENCPA Sector Plan Mobility Network. The proposed amendment would update the Transportation Element to reflect changes made to the ENCPA Wildlight mobility network by Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA21-009, correct typrographical errors, incorporate the recently-adopted fee-in-lieu program for sidewalks and trail construction and include Nassau Transit to the list of local and regional agencies that include a transit component.

Consider for transmittal to state agencies for review, CPA21-010, an amendment to the 2030 Nassau County Comprehensive Plan; amending the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Transportation Element; amending the Future Transportation Map Series; providing for transmittal; providing for severability; and providing an effective date. (Staff and Applicant request this item be continued to the June 27 BOCC meeting)
