BOCC AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:CPA21-010 FTMS and Transportation Element Amendments (Transmittal)
Date:8/29/2022
Department:Planning
Background:

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.

 

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial of the proposed amendment on a 7 to 3 vote at its June 7, 2022 meeting. At its June 27, 2022 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to continue transmittal of the proposed amendment to state review agencies to its August 29, 2022 meeting. Workshops regarding CPA21-009 and CPA21-010 were scheduled for July 25, 2022 at 3:00 PM and August 29, 2022 at 4:00 PM.

Request:
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.  District 3.  (This item has been withdrawn from consideration.)
Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens:
The County helps to recovers the cost of new development through impact fees and mobility fees. The ENCPA Mobility Plan established a funding mechanism for the development of a multi-modal transportation system for the Sector Plan. This includes mobility fees and a tax-increment financing district that will reimburse the developers of transportation infrastructure as funds become available. The Mobility Plan promotes compact, interconnected and mixed-use land development patterns that will improve the health, quality of life and sustainability for the residents of the ENCPA and all of Nassau County.
