Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

Corridors on Map 27 consist of projects identified in the CRTPA Cost Feasible Plan as well as projects that the public vote on by referendum as part of the Blueprint 2000 initiative. These Blueprint 2000 initiative projects at times overlap with projects on the Regional Mobility Plan, but often they are distinct projects. Blueprint funds, for example, are used to provide multiuse trails and other amenities not provided by FDOT. The corridor management policies and map in the Comprehensive Plan are implemented through the City and County Land Development Codes, which are administered by the Growth Management Departments of each respective jurisdiction. Staff emphasize interconnection of adjacent properties in development review and approval. The MPO has also examined the potential for service roads on Capital Circle Southwest north of the airport and identified these roads in the PD&E study conducted for the widening of Capital Circle. The Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department is preparing for a significant update of the mobility plan that will integrate context classifications and is conducting a mobility fee study expected to be complete by 2023. Below are additional details of the Tallahassee-Leon County corridor management process. Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan Written into the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan are two objectives and their associated policies which establish the basis for corridor preservation practices in the county (Table 6). Table 6. Tallahassee-Leon County Corridor Management Policies Objective 1.6 [m]: CORRIDOR PRESERVATION: Identify right-of-way needed for planned future transportation improvements and protect it from building encroachment as development occurs to preserve the corridor for transportation use, to maintain transportation level of service for concurrency, to improve coordination between land

use and transportation, and to minimize the adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts of transportation facilities on the community.

Policy 1.6.1: [M]

The City and County shall adopt and maintain corridor management ordinances, in accordance with subsection 337.273(6), F.S., which are designed to protect future transportation corridors designated in the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan from development encroachment, to provide for right-of-way acquisition, and to mitigate potential adverse impacts on affected property owners. Development orders may require conveyance of transportation rights-of-way consistent with a Future ROW Needs Map and Future Right-of-Way Needs and Access Classifications Table, as a condition of plat or development approval, provided that any required dedication shall not exceed the amount of land that is roughly proportionate to the impacts of the development on the transportation network.

Policy 1.6.1(a): [M]
