What is a Comprehensive Plan? • To guide the growth of a community over a 10 to 20 year period • Contains 8 elements that should be consistent and coordinated • Transportation • Land Use • Water, Sanitary Sewer, Drainage • Capital Improvement • Parks and Recreation • Conservation • Recreation, Open Space • Housing/Intergovernmental Coordination

  3. What is a Comprehensive Plan? Land Development Regulations (Specific) • Land Development Regulations should be developed to implement the Comprehensive Plan • Comprehensive Plan is adopted by ordinance and amended by ordinance • Amendments can only be done twice per year (Excluding the Capital Improvements Element) Comprehensive Plan (Broad)

  4. How Does the Comp Plan Address Concurrency? • Clarified the ties between concurrency and Capital Improvements Concurrency Capital Improvement Programming Financial Feasibility

  5. Comp Plan Amendments • 9J-5.002 (2) Comprehensive Plan Amendments must be accompanied by data and analysis to demonstrate • “the scale of public services that the local government provides or is projected to provide as it relates to the level of capital improvements planning required” Photo: Ragan Smith Inc.

  8. Significance and Adversity • No significance test as in DRIs • Identify and mitigate for adverse segments • Programmed improvements for short- term • Planned improvements for long- term Example of how mitigation could be calculated without significance test New gary slide

  9. The CUTR Report Status ?????? • Final review and approval 2007??

  10. From the Draft CUTR Report • Impact area defined as each roadway segment included in CMS where project trips are: • equal or greater than 3% of the LOS C max service volume of the segment, • up to a distance of 5-miles • At densities and intensities identified on Future Land Use Map (FLUM) • Short-term analysis (5 years) and • Long-term analysis (at least 10 years)

  11. Cumulative Analyses • Three or more FLUM amendments submitted during the same cycle affecting similar transportation links (DRAFT) • Trip generation (calibrated to ITE rates) provided for all amendments • Plots of traffic distribution • Background growth with project traffic added
