HOW TO USE THIS STUDY This report is based on an assessment of available data from various plans, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) resources, a review of existing plans, policies, and regulations in place, input from the Stakeholder Advisory Group, stakeholders, and public officials, input from participants at two community workshops, input
from presentations at professional and community organizations, and a professional assessment from subject matter experts. The report serves as a tool for future planning and economic development. The JTA and partner agencies will utilize the analyses and considerations assembled through this TOD planning
process to make informed real estate decisions concerning property and economic development around stations. This TOD Study provides the first holistic vision for future development around the FCCR corridor that will leverage transit investments. As a basis for comparison, TOD is evaluated for 7 select station areas
to better understand what the reasonable capacity for TOD could be in an ideal market. The report is organized into 6 chapters, including this Chapter 1, and the additional five chapters are presented in the figure below:

PRIORITY
The area surrounding the CR 210 station consists of low-density suburban residential and commercial uses. There is a considerable amount of available land for future development. The TOD proposes to add retail, services, office spaces, multifamily residential units and open spaces. The development area will require a detention and/or retention pond areas. It is recommended that water features be incorporated within the design. It is also recommended that available green space be utilized for parks and amenities.
The County, Developer, and JTA should coordinate plans for redevelopment of the area as proposed in the Transportation Oriented Design where feasible
St. Johns County, Developer, JTA
Public Space
It is recommended that adequate lighting for pedestrians be included throughout the development and the station. Traffic calming is also recommended to enhance safety and improve mobility. It is recommended that enhancements such as mini-roundabouts, speed tables, narrow streets, street trees, wider sidewalks, crosswalks and ADA ramp upgrades, signage, and lighting be included.
A traffic study will be required for each recommended improvement (road diet, mini- roundabouts, pedestrian hybrid beacons or rapid rectangular flashing beacons).

Pedestrian Connectivity
The developer/JTA should coordinate all proposed roadway/infrastructure improvements with the local municipality, Floridia DOT (as applicable) and required permitting agencies. A traffic study is required of roadway improvements with proposed operational changes
It is recommended that enhancements such as mini-roundabouts, speed tables, narrow streets, street trees, wider sidewalks, crosswalks and ADA ramp upgrades, signage, and lighting be included. In addition, a traffic study should be conducted to evaluate the need of additional traffic controls such as Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons or Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons to enhance pedestrian safety.
