Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

urban categories C5 (Urban Center) and C6 (Urban Core) were more appropriate for central business district type of development pattern such as Downtown Tampa, which are not included in the County Context Based Classification system. As a result, all County arterials and collectors are categorized into 5 Context Based Classifications: Rural (C1&C2), Suburban Town (C3T), Suburban Residential (C3R), Suburban Commercial (C3C) and Urban General (C4).”

The corridor classifications are referenced for implementation under Goal 7 of the Draft Mobility Section of the Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan. Table 5 shows the context classification map with corridor designations by area types. The County plans to use the context classifications to determine the need for and design of multimodal facilities appropriate to the land use context. In addition, the County Complete Streets Guidebook, currently under development, will inform the development of typical cross sections to be included in the Hillsborough County Design Manual. Figure 5 shows the context classifications as applied to the County roadway system.
