more accurately determine LOS for use in concurrency analyses, except where indicated that a detailed analysis has been provided. As new information becomes available, this report will be updated. Determining Available Roadway Capacity - The County’s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, Part 4.02.00 of the Land Development Code, requires that there be sufficient roadway capacity to accommodate development before building certificates are issued. This Hillsborough County Roadway Level of Service Report will be used to determine initial highway volumes and capacities. The report does not account for all trips from projects that have received certificates of capacities, but have not received their certificates of occupancy. These trips are considered to be reserved on the roadway network. The applicant should meet with Staff to receive up-to- date information on approved development to determine vested trips.
This report consists of County Roads, State Roads, and Appendices:
County Roads: Provides the LOS for all of the major roadways within Unincorporated Hillsborough County as well as several major county-maintained roadways located in the cities of Tampa, Plant City, and Temple Terrace. State Roads: Provides LOS for all roadways that are part of the State Highway System within unincorporated Hillsborough County. Appendices: Appendix A – Legend of Variables Used in the Roadway LOS Report Appendix B – Definition of Level of Service (LOS) Appendix C – Level of Service (LOS) Standards, High Transit Roadways and Updated Regulated Roads
Appendix D – Hillsborough County Planning Areas Appendix E – FDOT 2010 Generalized Tables
Any questions regarding this report, generated capacities, LOS or other data as presented should be directed to Transportation Review of the Hillsborough County Development Services Department.
