In addition, an administrative fee of 10% will also be charged based on the total cost of personnel and apparatus. Personnel costs are currently estimated to be$84.42 per hour, per person (3 hour minimum). The cost of apparatus is as follows: Rescue Truck-$32.00 per hour Engine(1500 gpm)-$71.00 per hour Ladder(1500 gpm) - $80.00 per hour The City of Dania Beach requires payment 14 days in advance for the detail services and fees are to be made payable to The City of Dania Beach by means of cash advance or a cashier's check.

Ms. Brandimarte pointed out that the tree has grown significantly and casts a shadow on its left side. Ralph Viviano echoed Ms. Brandimarte's comments regarding the tree. He indicated that this tree has become a detriment to the neighborhood. The flood light is on a pole that belongs to Florida Power and Light and for which they pay. They would like to have the tree removed. Mayor Anton noted that half the parking lot is dark and that is not good for security. He agreed that the tree needs to be removed. However, the neighbors were told that if the tree comes down, it would need to be replaced. Mayor Anton felt that another tree would cause the same problem. He suggested we let them take the tree down and not replace it. Commissioner Bertino motioned to take the tree down and not replace it; seconded by Vice-Mayor Jones.

Ann Page, 38 SW 5a' Street, Dania Heights, on behalf of Friends of the Library, gave a history of the Library. She noted they are all very excited about this project coming to fruition. Dr. Brenda Lee McCoy, 211 SE Park Street, #211, noted she recently moved to Dania Beach. She spoke in favor of the Library because she has always loved to read books, and reading books has given her the opportunity to explore places she could not afford to visit. Dr. McCoy Minutes of Regular Meeting 8 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,February 12, 2008—7:00 p.m. complimented the staff of the Dania Beach Branch Library for being helpful, friendly and professional. Sandra Mitzel, 1410 Argonaut Isle, president of the Friends of the Paul DeMaio Library, noted they provide for several of the programs that the Library offers. She indicated that due to budget constraints, they will be providing materials that the Library will be lending to people, including newspapers and magazines. Ms. Mitzel hopes she will live to see a new Library in Dania Beach. She commented that the County approved $3M to pay for building the Library, and she does not want us to lose these funds because we do not have parking. Ms. Mitzel further commented that she would not want a shuttle service to the Library. George Jason, 4549 SW 37`h Avenue, president of Dania Beach Neighborhoods United Association, noted they are in favor and support the purchase of the 109 Park property. Jimmy Crimminger, 237 SW 15`h Street, stated he is in favor of the purchase of 109 Park because it would be beneficial to the development of the downtown area. Clair Satin, a member of the Broward County Library Advisory Board, thanked the Commission and City Manager for their efforts on the Library. She encouraged the Commission to purchase 109 Park. NJ Terrace, 105 NW ls` Avenue, noted fiscal responsibility dictates that we purchase 109 Park. She is disappointed that Vice-Mayor Jones is against purchasing the property. She applauded the rest of the Commission who voted in favor of the purchase. Clive Taylor, 642 NE 3`d Street, favored the purchase of 109 Park. He compared the City of South Miami to what Dania Beach could be in the future. Charles McElyea, 229 SE 2"d Terrace, former City Commissioner, commented he is not a big fan of the Library, but noted that we need it for the children. He is in favor of purchasing the property, and has been for several years. Mr. McElyea indicated the street could be closed and would give the City additional footage. He asked the Commission to purchase 109 Park. Teddy Bohanan, 312 SW 15`h Street, encouraged the Commission to purchase 109 Park before someone else does. Rob Horton, 243 SW 151h Street, supported the Library and thought it would revitalize the downtown area. Leo Gonzalez lives across the street from the Library and hates to see it go. He commented the current Library is small and needs to be upgraded. Mr. Gonzalez supported the purchase of 109 Park. Linda Williams, 200 SE 4`h Terrace, recently started working for Steve Casper.

Minutes of Regular Meeting 9 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,February 12, 2008—7:00 p.m. Clare Vickery, owner of Grace Cafe at 49 N. Federal Highway, supported the redevelopment of a City Campus, including the purchase of 109 Park. Kurt Ely, 245 SW I"Avenue, supported the purchase of 109 Park. He noted that voting in favor of this project is in the best interest of the citizens of Dania Beach. Paolo Di Francis, owner of Paolo 3's Company, supported the purchase of 109 Park. He indicated this is the last opportunity for the City to purchase the property. Seeing as there was no one else to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Anton closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Castro motioned to adopt Ordinance #2008-005, on first reading; seconded by Commissioner Flury. Vice-Mayor Jones commented he was behind the learning curve, and he is proud of the citizens for not name-calling tonight. Vice-Mayor Jones thought the citizens elected him to ask questions when needed, and not be told what to do, therefore he will do his due diligence whenever he thinks it is necessary. He clarified for the record that he is not against a new Library. Vice- Mayor Jones further commented that he is proud of the positive things that the County has done. He noted he did want another appraisal because he was behind the learning curve and had to convince himself of what was needed. Vice-Mayor Jones indicated he had to have some discussions with the owner of the 109 Park property before making his own decision. Commissioner Bertino stated he has always favored libraries, and noted he was one of the persons who started the Dania Beach Library. However, his problem is the cost of the property which is not worth $2.8M and is something we do not need to spend. He stated being in real estate gives him the opportunity to understand the problems. We are in a recession and heading for a depression. Commissioner Bertino would like to purchase the land, but not for more than the top appraised value. Commissioner Bertino made a substitute motion to purchase the property for $2.1M. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Flury clarified that there have been 9 appraisals on the property, with an average of over$3M. Commissioner Castro thanked everyone for attending tonight's meeting. She did not want the public to think we are paying too much for the property. We have a choice of how the City Center will look by creating a pedestrian-friendly open area. If the County pays for the construction of the Library, we only need to worry about the parking. She does not want to be remembered as one of the people responsible for the way the overcrowded construction of the Library and parking garage on the City Hall site will look. Commissioner Castro noted that reality shows that we have an opportunity to get a better product and save taxpayer money. Commissioner Castro thought the Mayor had negotiated the best deal possible. Minutes of Regular Meeting 10 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,February 12, 2008—7:00 p.m. Commissioner Bertino thought we should have the property and noted that we need it for a parking garage. He agreed that we need to close the street and get additional space. However, we are in the worst real estate market since the 1930's and he thought that a good business decision would be to offer$2.1M, which is a fair and equitable price. Mayor Anton noted he negotiated the price with the property owner and this is the price he will accept. He said he believed there were two other parties interested in purchasing the property. Mayor Anton pointed out that we need to move forward and close on this purchase by March 31, 2008. The motion carried on the following 4-1 Roll Call vote: Commissioner Bertino No Vice-Mayor Jones Yes Commissioner Castro Yes Mayor Anton Yes Commissioner Flury Yes Consent Agenda was heard after Item #9.1 Item #9.2 was heard after Item #8.3 9.2 RESOLUTION#2008-030 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE REQUEST MADE BY RICHARD M.

Commissioner Castro received calls concerning the surveyors at 8`h and 8`h She noted this is not related to the airport, but a survey the City is conducting.

She thanked everyone involved in this important project, and recognized her fellow Commissioners as well as City Manager Pato, for this victory. Commissioner Castro complimented Clare Vickery, Clive Taylor, and all those involved in the Arts and Antiques Festival. She noted a lot of the visitors were from outside Dania Beach and they commented we should have it more often. Commissioner Castro thought it was a great success for everyone's enjoyment. Commissioner Castro noted that the neighbors on SW 2"d Court have a traffic problem and she worked with them in processing a petition for speed humps.

Director Orlando advised he already contacted the County and they are supposed to correct the problem. City Manager Pato indicated he would contact the County Administrator and ask him to look into this matter. Mayor Anton advised the Melaleuca Homeowners Association will be meeting tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. in the Commission Chamber at City Hall. He noted there is always important information regarding the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport expansion at these meetings and that anyone could attend. 11. Discussion and Possible Action Vice-Mayor Jones noted that with tax reform and portability issues it would be prudent and pro- active for the Commission to move forward and try to establish a presence in Tallahassee, since we do not currently have a lobbyist. We need to talk to our representatives and make them aware of things we want to do. He will sit with the Broward delegation next week representing the Memorial Regional Hospital Board. Vice-Mayor Jones pointed out that although Tallahassee might say that there is no money, there would be grants and bills available, and if we can tie ourselves in we may be able to get some. He asked for comments from the rest of the Commission. Commissioner Bertino commented our lobbyists were doing a good job, but we no longer have them. Commissioner Flury noted she was not in favor of bringing Russ Klenet back. She thought we should concentrate on what we need and focus on developing a legislative agenda each year. We Minutes of Regular Meeting 13 Dania Beach City Commission Tuesday,February 12, 2008—7:00 p.m. should then invite our representatives to come and talk to us and tell us whether we are being reasonable or not. Mayor Anton agreed we should develop a legislative agenda. He does not support another lobbyist group at this time because we would be expending a lot of money and probably not see any results. Vice-Mayor Jones noted that our representatives like to deal directly with elected officials. He noted that issues like the flooding in the southeast area, solar lighting, etc., are considered environmental issues that could be discussed and may be favorably considered. He indicated he would be in Tallahassee March 11-12 for the Hospital Board and will try to bring up City issues to our representatives. Vice-Mayor Jones thought we should bring our issues to the table early and expressed his desire to represent the City in Tallahassee. Commissioner Castro nominated Vice Mayor Jones to go to Tallahassee on behalf of the City with a list of things to discuss. She said we should also contact the Broward delegates for support and further approach our committee chairs that control the agenda. She agreed with Commissioner Flury regarding developing a legislative agenda although it is too late for this year. City Manager Pato confirmed for Mayor Anton that some months ago he asked for input from the Commission to prepare a list of items that we would like to move forward. Commissioner Bertino thought other Commissioners should also be allowed to go to Tallahassee and present our issues to our representatives. 12.

ANSBRO CITY ATTORNEY 3 ORDINANCE#2008-008 EAR AND TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CHRONOLOGY 2004 August 10, 2004: City e-mails DCA revised Transportation Element and requests courtesy review prior to City Commission adoption. DCA Planner Paul Darst agrees to conduct courtesy review. August 10, 2004 to June 29, 2005: No written or verbal comments from DCA. 2005 June 30, 2005: DCA informally rejects Element. July 13, 2005: DCA Planner Caroline Knight, third DCA plan reviewer in four years, rejects revised Transportation Element because it does not comply with Senate Bill 360, adopted in March 2005. Ms. Knight is unsympathetic to our position that DCA staff took over 9 months to complete their review, and that the document complied with all laws in effect at that time. August 29, 2005: Unable to resolve Ms. Knight's comments, I contacted DCA Secretary Cohen. The Secretary's assistant advises me that the Secretary cannot assist me on this matter and that I must resolve the issues with FDOT. This is the first time I am told to meet directly with FDOT staff. August 29, 2005: Secretary Cohen later returns my call and agrees to set up a teleconference with DCA, South Florida Regional Planning Council ("SFRPC") and City staff on September 6, 2005. September 6, 2005: Teleconference with City Manager, myself, DCA and SFRPC staff, including RPC Executive Director Carolyn Deckle. Valerie Hubbard directs us to rewrite the Element based on SB 360. Ms. Hubbard also advises us: 1) "DCA employees are not required to conduct courtesy reviews" (DCA Planners routinely conduct courtesy reviews and have done so for over 10 years). 2) Plan Elements submitted for courtesy review go "to the bottom of the pile" (This is the first time I am hearing this. If advised accordingly, we would have formally adopted the Element in August 2004). 3) FDOT rejects airport compatibility language claiming that it is inconsistent with SB 360 (Ms. Hubbard provides no justification for this claim). At the close of the conversation, City Manager Ivan Pato and I agreed to fly to Tallahassee and meet with Ms. Hubbard and others in person. Instead, Ms. Hubbard directs us to meet with the SFRPC staff in Hollywood. SFRPC Director Deckle commits (but later withdraws - see below) to providing technical assistance to rewrite the Transportation Element. August 24, 2005: Hurricane Wilma hits Broward County. Community Development Department spends the next six months on post disaster response, clean-up, and reconstruction. 2006 March 23, 2006: SFRPC withdraws their September 6, 2005 commitment to assist us in preparing the Transportation Element. March - April 2006: DCA and SFRPC spend the next two months setting up a meeting at City Hall. May 11 , 2006: joint meeting takes place and includes SFRPC and DCA staff (Roger Wilburn), State Representative Tim Ryan, Commissioner Ann Castro, Planning Consultant Leigh Kerr, and Assistant City Attorney Nancy Stroud. Compromise agreement is reached regarding Transportation Element. At this same meeting, the SFRPC advises us (after their second review of the EAR) that the Housing language needs yet more changes. We agree to revise the EAR Housing language a third time. May 24, 2006: City sends City Manager letter confirming May 11 , 2006 meeting agreement. Mr. Wilburn does not respond to this letter. May 30, 2006: Based on May 11 meeting, City rewrites and transmits revised EAR Housing language to SFRPC. Early July, 2006: Based on May 11 meeting, City rewrites and transmits revised Transportation Element to Roger Wilburn at DCA. July 27, 2006 FDOT (who did not attend the May 11 meeting) rejects the revised Transportation Element. DCA advises us we must address FDOT's latest comments comments. September 19, 2006: City revises and transmits Transportation Element to DCA based on FDOT's latest comments. September 25, 2006: SFRPC rejects revised EAR Housing language. October 13, 2006: City revises and submits EAR Housing language to SFRPC. November 13, 2006: City revises and submits final revised EAR Housing language to the SFRPC. November 22, 2006: SFRPC approves (by E-mail) EAR Housing language. This resolves the only remaining obstacle to DCA approval of the EAR. December 13, 2006: Roger Wilburn telephones Dania planning consultant to confirm he is satisfied with Transportation Element. Despite 2-3 requests, Wilburn fails to confirm approval in writing before he leaves DCA later in the month. 2007 February 22, 2007: City Commission adopts and transmits both EAR and Transportation Element to DCA. March 5, 2007: DCA (Plan Review and Processing Division) rejects revised Transportation Element, stating that the City cannot amend its Comprehensive Plan until the EAR is found sufficient. Plan Review and Processing Division states we must re-adopt our Transportation Element before it can be reviewed. This is contrary to our May 11 , 2006 meeting direction from DCA staff. CITY OF DANIA BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT DATE: February 26, 2008 TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager FROM: Corinne Lajoie, AICP, Principal Planner C� Leigh Kerr, Planning Consultant RE: City of Dania Beach Transport ati n Element This item regards the adoption of the City's Transportation Element in accordance with Chapter 163, F.S. The City Commission may recall that on February 14, 2007, the Commission adopted, on 2nd Reading, the City's Transportation Element. However, at that time, the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) had not been found sufficient by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (FDCA). The FDCA returned the adopted Transportation Element to the City indicating that the City could not adopt the updated Transportation Element until its EAR was found sufficient. The FDCA found the EAR sufficient in a letter dated April 30, 2007. Since then, the City submitted the Transportation Element to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for what is known as a "courtesy review." The FDOT issued a letter on July 13, 2007 requesting additional information and modifications to the Transportation Element. The City and planning consultant worked with the FDOT staff to incorporate such information, while also supplying that additional information to the FDCA staff on an informal basis to ensure that the FDCA would accept the comments and modifications requested by the FDOT. The FDOT issued a letter on January 18, 2008 indicating their concurrence with the Transportation Element that is being considered by the City Commission. The result of this process is a complete and updated Transportation Element to be utilized by the City for reviewing transportation matters throughout the community. Subsequent to the adoption and transmittal to the FDCA, the element will undergo compliance review and the statutory appeal period (approximately 66-76 days) before it becomes effective.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF COUNTY-WIDE MODELING ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION This Transportation Element is one portion of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Dania Beach. It includes the planning for all forms of transportation with emphasis upon public transportation. Dania Beach is located within the geographic boundaries of the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization. Because of this location, the Transportation Element includes planning and analysis in the following areas: traffic circulation; mass transit; ports; airports; bicycle facilities; provisions for pedestrian movement and provisions for hurricane evacuation. This Element is comprised of a Historical Analysis of County-Wide Transportation Modeling (Section 1), Data and Analysis (Sections II and III), and Goals, Objectives and Policies (Section IV). The final chapter (Section V) is a listing of definitions intended to assist the reader in understanding the technical terminology used within this Element. There is also, within this Element, a series of maps that support the data and analysis. These maps will aid the reader in further understanding the location, inter- relationships and complexities of the various modes of transportation utilized within Dania Beach. Another important aspect of this Element is that it be consistent with the rest of the City's Comprehensive Plan Elements. Within the other Elements of the Comprehensive Plan are policies that relate to transportation. These policies have been identified and repeated within this Element to ensure that issues raised elsewhere in the Comprehensive Plan are addressed in a consistent manner. The minimum requirements of what is to be contained within the Transportation Element are outlined in Rule 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code. These standards are very broad, yet provide for very complex analysis. Addressing these requirements would be financially burdensome upon Dania Beach, if the City was required to under-go the required transportation modeling on its own. As such, several cities have joined with the County in cooperatively modeling the transportation system. It is the results of this joint effort that forms the basis of the data and analysis within this Transportation Element. The following is a discussion of how that process was conducted and the results that were produced. I-1 Transportation Element A. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION On March 24 and July 29, 1997, the Department of Community Affairs ("DCA") met with the Broward County League of Cities Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), of which Dania Beach is a member. The TAC noted that it was not practical for each of Broward County's 29 municipalities to independently model changes to land use intensities and that a coordinated county wide effort would be preferred, with Broward County taking the lead. The TAC further noted that the Evaluation and Appraisal Report amendment schedule did not promote a coordinated approach. As a consequence, the DCA, Broward County, and the TAC negotiated an agreement that would allow the municipalities to adopt their Transportation Element subsequent to Broward County's adoption of its Transportation Element, thereby allowing each municipality to consider the impacts an increase in land use intensities would have on public transportation. The TAC also established a Transportation Element subcommittee to assist it in implementing Subsection 163.3177(6)0) 8., FS. The following TAC subcommittee consists of representatives from the following cities: • City of Deerfield Beach • City of Hallandale Beach • City of Hollywood • City of Cooper City • Town of Davie • City of Plantation • Broward County Planning Council • South Florida Regional Planning Council B. SELECTING THE LAND USE PATTERN. Monday, August 25, 1997, the Transportation Element subcommittee ("TE subcommittee") met to consider the selection of alternative future land use scenarios for modeling purposes. Seven (7) future land use scenarios were provided for their consideration and members were encouraged to develop additional scenarios. The seven (7) initial scenarios provided for discussion included: • Scenario 1: The 2015 long-range This approach would apply the future land uses as shown on the Broward County Land Use Plan to the 2015 roadway network in order to determine the impacts to the roadway and public transportation network. This 1-2 Transportation Element scenario is equivalent to the "do nothing" approach and could serve as the baseline for comparison with other scenarios. • Scenario 2: The Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) designated public transportation corridors The FDOT designated and proposed for designation various corridors as public transportation corridors. This approach would raise densities and intensities along those corridors designated or proposed for designation by the FDOT. The criteria for FDOT designation is primarily whether a public transit route has a ridership of 5,000 persons daily along a corridor. • Scenario 3: Municipal designated public transportation corridors This approach would require every municipality to review their future land use maps and determine which corridors are appropriate for higher densities and intensities. • Scenario 4: Modified municipal designated public transportation corridors This approach would require every municipality to review their future land use maps and determine which corridors are appropriate for higher densities and intensities. This map would then be modified by vote of the TAC, or some other entity, to assure continuity of corridors. • Scenario 5: Exclusive public transportation corridor mixed use nodes The only exclusive public transportation corridor is Tri-Rail. This approach would increase densities and intensities within a quarter mile radius of a Tri-Rail terminal. • Scenario 6: Regional Activity Center This "node" approach would increase densities and intensities within Broward County's Regional Activity Centers (RACs). • Scenario 7: Criteria based corridors This approach would require that criteria be established that would be used in identifying a public transportation corridor (similar to the FDOT), and then applying these criteria to see which corridors would be affected. Densities and intensities along these corridors would be increased. 1-3 Transportation Element At the meeting, the subcommittee members present proposed five additional scenarios for consideration. These scenarios included: • Scenario 8: Scenario 2 plus or minus Scenario 3 This approach would raise densities and intensities along those corridors designated by the FDOT as modified by the municipalities. A municipality could either add corridors to those already designated by the FDOT or delete portions of the designated FDOT corridors. • Scenario 9: Scenarios 5 plus 6 This approach would increase densities and intensities within a '/4 mile radius of a Tri-Rail terminal and increase densities and intensities within Broward County's RACs. • Scenario 10: Broward County Thoroughfare Plan Buildout Model This approach would apply the future land uses as shown on the Broward County Land Use Plan to the buildout roadway network as shown on the Thoroughfare Plan and determine the impacts to the roadway and public transportation network. This scenario also is equivalent to a "do nothing" approach and could serve as an alternative baseline to Scenario 1. • Scenario 11 Scenario 6 plus the proposed Davie RAC plus the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades This approach would increase densities and intensities within Broward County's RACs, the proposed Town of Davie RAC, the Airport and Port Everglades. • Scenario 12: Scenario 5 plus Scenario 11 This would add the Tri-Rail corridor to Scenario 11. After a brief presentation of each scenario and discussion among the subcommittee members of the merits of each scenario, members were asked to select four alternatives from the list of 12. The preferred or first alternative would receive 4 points, the second alternative 3 points, the third alternative 2 points, and the final alternative 1-point. The top three scenarios would be taken to the TAC as the subcommittee's recommendation. The top three scenarios each received a total of 20 points. These three scenarios were: 1-4 Transportation Element • Scenario 10: Broward County Thoroughfare Plan Buildout Model This approach would apply the future land uses as shown on the Broward County Land Use Plan to the buildout roadway network as shown on the Thoroughfare Plan and determine the impacts to the roadway and public transportation network. This scenario also is equivalent to a "do nothing" approach and could serve as an alternative baseline to Scenario 1. • Scenario 8: Scenario 2 plus or minus Scenario 3 This approach would raise densities and intensities along those corridors designated by the FDOT as modified by the municipalities. The FDOT public transportation roadway corridors include three (3) previously designated roadway corridors (i.e., Hollywood Boulevard/SR 820, Broward Boulevard/SR 842, and University Drive/SR 817), three (3) proposed roadway corridors (US 441/SR 7, Oakland Park Boulevard/SR 816, and Sample Road/SR 834), and the Tri-Rail Commuter Corridor. The subcommittee did not recommend modifying these corridors, with the consequence that Scenario 8 was equivalent to Scenario 2. • Scenario 12: Scenario 5 (Tri-Rail) plus Scenario 11 This approach would increase densities and intensities within Broward County's RACs, the proposed Town of Davie RAC, the Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, and within '/< mile radius of a Tri-Rail terminal. The TAC at their September 8, 1997 meeting with one exception, ratified the TE subcommittee's three (3) preferred scenarios The Fort Lauderdale Beach RAC was excluded from Scenario 8 because increased densities in this area are inconsistent with state planning law. Subsequently, the Broward County Transportation Planning Division, which serves as staff to the Metropolitan Planning Organization ("MPO"), notified the TAC that Scenario 10 (i.e., Buildout) could not be used as a baseline because the travel demand-forecasting model does not provide buildout public transit data. Consequently, Scenario 1, the 2015 Long-Range Plan, was chosen as the baseline to replace Scenario 10. C. LAND USE INTENSITIES The Transportation Element subcommittee met to consider the appropriate land use intensities to be used for Scenario 8, the corridor approach, and Scenario 11, the "node" approach. 1-5 Transportation Element A literature search was conducted to find the minimum land use intensities that would support public transit for the corridor and node approach. The literature revealed that average residential densities of at least seven dwelling units per acre (7 du/ac) within the service area of a route are considered the minimum level to justify the use of local bus routes with 30 minute headways, whereas densities of 15 dwelling units per acre are needed for 10 minute headways (See E. Kadesh, Encouraging Public Transportation Through Effective Land Use Actions Municipality of Seattle, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1987; and B.S. Pushkarev and J. M. Zupan, Public Transportation and Land Use Policy, Indiana University Press, Bloomington, 1977). Broward County Transit (BCt) operates many routes on 30-minute headways and, as a consequence, a density of eight (8) dwelling units per acre was chosen as the land use intensity for the corridor approach. To implement this land use intensity, densities were increased in all those traffic analysis zones (TAZs) with %4 mile of the identified transit corridor. The literature was sparse for minimum land use intensities in nodes needed to support public transportation. The sole source found was Robert Cervero's Transit Villages in the Twenty First Century. Mr. Cervero found that minimum densities of 12 dwelling units per acre (as well as 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a regional attraction) were necessary to support a transit village. Consequently, a density of 12 dwelling units per acre was chosen as the land use intensity for the node approach. To implement this land use intensity, densities were increased in all those TAZs located within a RAC and within '14 mile of a Tri-Rail station. For Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, nodes that have no populations, residential densities were assumed to be zero. In these nodes, only non-residential intensities were increased. To address non-residential land use intensities, the subcommittee recommended a housing-jobs balance methodology be used. D. TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING MODEL The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure ("FSUTMS"), maintained by the Broward County MPO, was the travel demand forecast model used to model alternative land use intensities. The FSUTMS model is a four- 1-6 Transportation Element stage gravity model. At the most basic level, the typical forecasting model is structured around the following four sequential steps: o Trip Generation - Estimation of number of trips produced by and attracted to each "traffic analysis" zone. o Trip Distribution - Determination of the origin and destination zone for each trip. o Modal Choice - Calculation of number of trips using the different modes of transportation such as auto, transit, pedestrian and other. o Assignment - "Loading" of auto trips onto the highway network or person trips onto the transit network. 1. Land Use Inputs Land use inputs are addressed in the model by dividing the County into a number of traffic analysis zones ("TAZs"). A TAZ is a compact geographic area that coincides with census track boundaries and usually bounded by roadways, and physical barriers such as expressways, rivers, canals, or other physical structures that limits the crossing of motorized vehicles. Broward County has 892 TAZs. Two databases are associated with each TAZ. Database 1 includes population and housing information, depicting the production side of the trip generation step. Database 2 comprises employment and school data, displaying the attraction side of the trip generation step. In addition, the model includes information on special generators (i.e., major ports, parks, and shopping malls), internal-external trips for travel across the county lines either south to Miami-Dade County or north to Palm Beach County, and external-external trips for trips passing through Broward County. 2. Transportation System Inputs The transportation system inputs include information on roadway geometry (such as number of lanes, facility type, area type etc.). The transit network uses mainly the highway network, and other transit system information such as headway, bus travel speed, bus stops, and bus capacity. The FSUTMS model generates trips at each traffic analysis zone (TAZ) from land use variables (population and employment). Trips are distributed between zones using gravity concept and friction factors. 1-7 Transportation Element Trips are then split between highway, transit and other modes using mode choice concept. Highway trips are converted to auto trips using an appropriate auto occupancy rate. Auto trips are assigned to the highway network according to equilibrium concept based on speed and capacity of each highway facility in the network. Before using the model in traffic projection, it should be validated for the most recent year in which travel and census data are available. In Broward County, the model was validated for the year 1990. Transit coefficients are developed based on current transit market shares. Model runs are made until simulated model output matches the ground count for the year being validated. Then, the validated model coefficients and parameters are applied to future years. In this case, the year 1990 validated model coefficients and parameters were applied. For the purpose of this analysis, the main variable that was modified in the year 2015 model was the land use data and transit connectivity to affected TAZ's. E. PRELIMINARY MODELING RESULTS The preliminary results for the first model run using baseline, node, and corridor scenarios are depicted in Table 1-1. Under Broward County's adopted year 2015 Long Range Transportation Plan, the total number of person trips was estimated at 5.2 million trips per day in the baseline scenario. The node intensification scenario of 12 du/ac produced 261,752 additional person trips per day over the baseline scenario, a 5 percent increase. The corridor intensification scenario of 8 du/ac produced 2,530,863 additional person trips per day over the baseline scenario, a 48.6 percent increase. It was observed by the MPO staff that the increase in land use density (population and employment) in each zone was accompanied by an increase in intrazonal trips. Intrazonal trips are those trips that are attracted to developments within a TAZ and are not loaded onto the highway network. Intrazonal trips increased by 9,814 in the nodes scenario and by 120,574 in the corridor scenario over the baseline scenario. This increase in intrazonal trips reduces total trips loaded on the highway network, meaning fewer trips for public transit.

Vehicle miles traveled ("VMT') is used as a performance tool to measure the overall use of a road segment. VMT is a measurement derived by multiplying the traffic volume on a roadway segment times the length of that segment in miles. The node intensification scenario produced 1,266,260 VMT per day over the baseline scenario, a 3.5 percent increase. The corridor intensification scenario produced 11,194,204 VMT per day over the baseline scenario, a 30.7 percent increase. The two most significant characteristics for public transit on Table 1-1 are mode split and daily transit ridership. Mode split is the term used to describe the percent of total trips attributed to public transit that, for this analysis, would include regular buses, express buses and Tri-Rail. The initial FSUTMS model runs showed a decline in mode split for both the node intensification and corridor intensification scenarios as compared with the baseline scenario. Under the node intensification scenario, daily transit ridership declined by 528 trips as compared with the baseline scenario. The corridor intensification scenario, however, produced 18,729 additional person trips in daily transit ridership, a 23.8 percent increase over the baseline scenario. 1-9 Transportation Element The preliminary FSUTMS model results were distributed to the TAC, the FDOT District 4, and the DCA. The model results were presented to the TAC and discussed at their January 16, 1998 meeting. The TAC agreed with MPO staff that mode split and daily transit ridership should be reexamined because the results, which represented only local bus ridership, were inconsistent with the increased intensities that should have improved mode split and increased daily transit ridership. The MPO staff noted that the preliminary model run for the node and corridor intensification scenarios did not include any attempts to check zonal connections to transit and availability of existing routes to absorb additional transit riders. Further, data adjustments were not made where a TAZ had existing intensity that was greater than the intensity proposed under the node and corridor scenarios. Finally, total populations under the node and corridor intensification scenarios were not reviewed for consistency with the projected 2015 high range population estimates. The MPO staff noted that land use intensity increase in one area should be accompanied by a decrease in other area to maintain a realistic population control total. The MPO staff requested the TAC to provide direction on these issues before making additional FSUTMS runs. The TAC requested the MPO staff to make the following modifications to the model before a second run: o Check zonal connections to transit routes, o Check the availability of adequate transit vehicles to absorb additional ridership, o Make any appropriate changes in land use density to maintain consistency and stay within the high-range population control total for year 2015, o Zonal connections should be formulated such that they are within mile of a bus stop. The % mile distance is equivalent to a 5-minute walk, the generally accepted maximum walking time for public transit, o Public transit headway should be decreased where appropriate to accommodate potential increase in ridership, o Use existing intensities in a TAZ where such exceeded the intensities under the node and corridor intensification scenarios, and o Make necessary correction to zonal data. With this direction, the MPO staff agreed to make additional model runs. The MPO staff made corrections/adjustments to the data and zonal connections as recommended by the TAC, and ran the model a second time for both the corridor 1-10 Transportation Element and nodes scenarios. The second model run produced higher mode split than observed in the first run. Mode split for the corridor scenario was estimated at 1.37, which was still lower than the base year. Therefore, no further adjustments were made to the node scenario. Further adjustments were made to the corridor scenario including zonal adjustments (additional walk connectors) were made to those TAZs projected to experience a huge growth in both population and employment densities. A third model run was made for the corridor scenario. In this run, mode split increased from 1.37 to 1.43 but was still lower than the baseline. A fourth run was made after correcting zonal data associated with TAZ 830. The fourth run model split for the corridor scenario was estimated at 1.4, still lower that base year. Since daily transit ridership was not increasing proportional to that of population density, existing transit on routes servicing targeted corridors (Route 2, 7, 18, 22, 72, and 83) were enhanced to attract additional riders. The model was using hard coded headway based on existing condition ranging from 30 to 60 minutes. Further, the model that recommended headway was usually lower than the hard coded headway, therefore a fifth model run was made with transit headway adjusted between the model recommended headway and the hard coded headway for the heavily used transit routes. Mode split after the fifth run was 1.70 higher than the baseline scenario. At this point no further runs were anticipated for the corridor scenario. However, total population estimated by the model was higher than the higher range as reported in the Florida Statistical Abstract. Therefore, a sixth and final run was made after decreasing the population density from 8 units/per acres to 6/units per acre. The purpose for modifying acres/units was to reduce the permanent population projections for Year 2015 from 2,514,130 to below the population control total of 2,232,300. The sixth run mode split for the corridor scenario after adjusting population total was 1.62, which is still higher than the baseline scenario. F. FINAL MODELING RESULTS The final modeling results using the FSUTMS are depicted in Table 1-2. The baseline characteristics are the same for the preliminary and final model runs. The node intensification scenario produced 353,632 person trips per day over the baseline scenario, a 6.8 percent increase over baseline. The corridor 1-11 Transportation Element intensification scenario produced 1,926,219 total person trips per day over the baseline scenario, a 37 percent increase over baseline.

For intrazonal person trips, trips occurring between different land uses inside a TAZ, the node intensification scenario produced 13,364 person trips and the corridor intensification scenario produced 95,790 person trips per day over the baseline scenario. This increase in intrazonal person trip making is attributed to the increase in both productions and attractions within the modified TAZs. The increase in land use density, after the sixth model run, showed an increase in mode spilt under both node and corridor scenarios. Mode split increased from 1.51 under the baseline scenario to 1.61 under the node intensification scenario and to 1.63 under the corridor intensification scenario. Daily transit ridership also improved under both scenarios. The node intensification scenario produced 89,655 daily transit riders per day and the corridor intensification scenario produced 116,040 daily transit riders per day. The node intensification scenario produced 1,658,672 VMT per day over baseline, while the corridor intensification scenario produced 8,171,280 VMT per day over the baseline. The increase in VMT is always accompanied by an increase in congestion and air pollution. This impact should be weighed against 1-12 Transportation Element the increase in transit ridership and the improvement in modal split demonstrated by both the node and corridor scenarios. G. FUTURE LAND USE IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The modeling results are consistent with the weight of data that shows that intensifying land uses along public transit corridors can improve transit ridership. The modeling results also indicate that land use intensification must include some form of transit enhancements as needed in order to attract and absorb additional riders generated by land use intensification such as headway reduction. The modeling exercise, however, has several important constraints that militate against wholesale future land use map amendments along the identified corridors: • Inadequacy of FSUTMS: The FSUTMS model was not intended to be used for land use analysis although it is used for this purpose throughout Florida. The existing problem with using FSUTMS for this purpose is not the land use data but the connectivity to the highway network and the relationship between the land uses within a TAZ. Existing connections are sometimes not representative of existing conditions and the same connector used by residential development connects commercial development. Commercial development occurs primarily along the perimeter of a TAZ while residential development occurs primarily within a TAZ. These factors must be weighted before accepting the results of this analysis. • Macro not microanalysis: The model runs assumed the TAZ at densities higher than those existing. Higher densities are practical when a TAZ is primarily undeveloped, but are unlikely when they are more fully developed. • Political constraints: The governing bodies for Broward County and its municipalities are not likely to accept future land use map amendments based upon the results of a modeling exercise. Based on the model results, and consistent with an incremental approach, the following two (2) recommendations are offered and have been incorporated into the TE: 1-13 Transportation Element • Broward County, in conjunction with the affected municipalities, the MPO, the FDOT, and the DCA, should select at least one of the six (6) identified roadway corridors for a demonstration project on transit oriented design and development. The corridor selection should be based upon such factors as: o The degree of municipal interest in the corridor. o The amount of undeveloped land and the potential for redevelopment of existing land. o The potential for implementation. • The demonstration project should include the following components: o Preparation of an overlay transit oriented corridor (TOC) zoning district that would be adopted by each municipality along the corridor. There already is some precedent for identical zoning provisions among adjoining municipalities. For example, although Port Everglades is owned and operated by Broward County, it is located within the Cities of Dania Beach, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. These municipalities have a zoning district within their land development regulations that is identical, thereby facilitating development within Port Everglades. o Development of incentives for transit-oriented development (TOD) located within a TOC zoning district. These incentives could include such things as: reduced parking requirements; waiver or partial waiver of impact fees and other development related costs; public funding of transit-oriented development improvements (such as bus bays, bus benches and shelters, pedestrian facilities and connections to bus stop, etc.). o Development of a long-term roadway and public transit monitoring system. The monitoring system should measure, at least on an annual basis, the roadway and transit impacts along the corridor, the roadway and transit impacts of TODs versus auto-oriented developments along the corridor. 1-14 Transportation Element o Grant funding for the demonstration project, including the hiring of a full time transit corridor coordinator by Broward County. o Improving public transit access along the corridor. 1-15 Transportation Element II. DATA REQUIREMENTS The Transportation Element is based upon identification of the following information: • General location of the transportation networks; • Functional classification of roadways; • Maintenance Responsibilities; • Transit trip generators and attractors; • Designated transportation facilities for hurricane evacuation; • Peak direction of level of service for roads, public transit facilities, and corridors or routes; and, • Capacity of significant parking facilities and duration limitations. The information required to be included in the Transportation Element is spelled out in Rule 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code. A. THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The transportation system encompasses the following networks: roadways, public transit, bikeways, pedestrian ways, waterways, airports, railways, recreational traffic, and intermodal facilities. t. Roadway Network The roadway network includes the following features: roadway segments or links, road intersections, bridges, rights-of-way, signalization, signage, roadway amenities, and significant parking facilities. This subsection also presents safety-related roadway network data. a. Segments A roadway segment or link is a portion of a roadway defined for the purpose of traffic analysis. The segment origination and termination points are typically signalized intersections or the point where the number of lanes on a roadway changes. Segments can be classified by lanes and functions. II - 1 Transportation Element Number of lanes. Rule 9J-5.019(2)(a) 9., FAC, requires the number of through lanes for each roadway be identified on an existing transportation map or map series. A map depicting the roadways within the City that are utilized to achieve the mobility goals for the community and the number of lanes on each facility is provided as Map 2-1. Functional classification and maintenance responsibilities Rule 9J- 5.019(2)(a) 8, FAC, also requires the existing functional classification and maintenance responsibilities for all roads be shown on the existing transportation map series. Functional classification was developed for transportation planning purposes and is the grouping of roadways by the character of service they provide. Table 2-1 depicts the federal functional classification system for urban roadways. These classifications are defined in Section V of this Element. Urban Principal Arterial Minor Arterial Collector Local Source: Highway Functional Classification Concepts Criteria and Procedures, Federal Highway Administration. The designation of federal functional classification is made following the publication of the decennial U.S. Census or whenever required by federal regulation. When evaluating the function of a road, the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) considers a road's trip purposes in relation to the total public roadway network. A road is classified based upon its most significant trip purpose; however, a road may serve more than one significant trip purpose. The federal functional classification system recognizes twelve (12) significant trip purposes. Table 2-2 lists the significant trip purposes related to each functional classification. Arterial roadways are classified as either principal or minor. A roadway serving only one of the arterial road defined purposes is classified as a minor arterial, while one serving more than a single defined purpose is classified as a principal arterial road. All limited access highways and roads that connect urbanized areas are considered to serve II - 2 Transportation Element several trip purposes, and thus are classified as principal arterial roads. A collector road's purpose is to provide access to minor public facilities, cross-connection between roads, access to concentrated land use areas, and access to diffuse land use areas.

Map 2-1, Existing Roads and Park Rg Facilities-, shows the existing maintenance responsibility for roadways located within Broward Ge-i-tyDania Beach. Florida Intrastate Highway System. Section 334.03, FS, defines the "Florida Intrastate Highway System" (FINS) as a system of limited access and controlled access facilities on the State Highway System, which have the capacity to provide high-speed and high-volume traffic movements in an efficient and safe manner. PHIS roadways Fnu6t be identified for two reasons. Firstly, Rule 9i 5.019, FAG, Fequires the F=QQT level ef sep� Ge standaFd tG be applied tG FIHS reads. SeGORdly, Rule 9 5.019, , State legislation enacted in 2004 has created a Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) that Is a regional network of transportation facilities including the FIHS roadway component. SIS/FINS requires the establishment of strategies to facilitate local traffic use of alternatives to the FIHS. Table 2-4 lists those roadway segments on the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FINS) that are located within Dania Beach. Table 2-4 Strateciic Intermodal System (SIS) Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) SIS I FIHS Roadway Segments Centerline Roadways Footage Interstate 95 Hollywood (north city limits) to vicinity of the airport 10,000+ feet Interstate 595 1-95 west to Dania Beach city limits 3,800+ feet Total 13,800+ feet Source: Florida Department of Transportation. b. Intersections and interchanges An intersection is defined as the general area where two or more roadways join or cross at grade, including the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements within the intersection. An intersection is an important part of the roadway network because its design influences the efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation, and capacity of roadways. Interchanges are designed to permit traffic to move freely from one road to another without crossing another line of traffic. The north half of the Stirling Road/1-95 Interchange, all of the Griffin Road/1-95 Interchange and a portion of the 1-595/1-95 Interchange are located within Dania Beach. 11 - 5 Transportation Element c. Right-of-way Right-of-way often is the major cost for transportation improvement projects; therefore, the acquisition of the needed land should be planned far in advance of the scheduled construction time. The Broward County Trafficways Plan, administered by the Broward County Planning Council, is a roadway right-of-way preservation plan. To accommodate the impacts of new development, right-of-way is dedicated by developing parcels to provide for an adequate regional roadway network. A dedication for at least half of the roadway width that the Trafficways Plan calls for is normally required to be dedicated to the public at the platting stage. This dedication can also be obtained during site plan other development permit processes. Objective VIII and related implementing policies address right-of-way protection and preservation. Currently there are four main classifications designated in the Trafficways Plan: limited access/controlled freeways; arterial; collector; and one-way pair. The right-of-way width for the limited access and controlled freeways is 325 feet; for arterial roadways, it varies from 100 to 200 feet; for collector roads, it ranges from 70 to 94 feet; and for one-way pairs, the range is from 42 to 54 feet. d. Signalization Signalization is an important part of the roadway system. It controls the flow of traffic; therefore, it affects the traffic volume passing through a particular intersection. For isolated (that is, non-system or uncoordinated) operation, the signal type indicates the degree to which a traffic signal's cycle length, phase plan, and phase times are preset or actuated. There are currently two types of signals in use: actuated signals and semi- actuated signals. Intersections that have actuated signals will have vehicle detectors for all approaches. Each phase is subject to a minimum and maximum green time and some phases may be "skipped" if no vehicle demand is detected. Intersections installed with semi-actuated signals only have detectors located on the minor street. The signal is set such that the green is always on the major street unless a vehicle is detected on the minor street. The pre-timed signal has a preset sequence of phases in repetitive order. Each phase has a fixed green time and change interval that is repeated in each cycle. The Broward County Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for installing and maintaining all signal systems in the County. The purpose of traffic signal computerization is to optimize signal operation, thereby, providing a more efficient transportation system. II - 6 Transportation Element Coordination of traffic signals through computerization has been recognized as one of most effective ways to improve the traffic flows. e. Signage Signing and markings are features of traffic control and operation that must be considered in the geometric layout of each facility. The FDOT, Broward County, and the municipalities create and maintain signage on their functionally assigned roadways. f. Amenities Landscaping is the primary highway amenity. Landscape design of completed highways serves functional, as well as aesthetic purposes. Plants can aid with glare reduction, acoustical control, erosion control, and traffic control, if they are well chosen and judiciously placed. Plants also can create and define spaces, by complementing and improving the attractiveness of certain sites, while masking undesirable views. Landscape design can influence speed through control of road focal points. g. Significant parking facilities and durational limits Significant public parking facilities in Broward County are defined as greater than 500 parking spaces. Long-term parking facilities are defined as more than a day parking duration. Parking facilities that meet these definitions are depicted on Map 2-1. The closest facility to Dania Beach that meets these definitions is Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport which has over 8,000 spaces for long and short term parking. The Sportsman Park Tri-Rail station also provides long and short term parking for approximately 180 vehicles. The Dania Jai Alai fronton on Dania Beach Boulevard is another significant parking facility in close proximity to the downtown area. Parking policies at these facilities are determined by the respective owners. Two centrally located city-owned facilities with significant parking include city hall (100 spaces) and Frost Park (130 spaces). In addition, approximately 100 on-street parking spaces exist in the downtown area. The City maintains and implements land development regulations that require new development and redevelopment to provide adequate on-site parking for all uses. h. Safety A safe roadway network enhances the protection of life and property. Safety concerns are monitored by tracking measures such as crash indicators, access management standards, and hurricane evacuation. e g II - 7 Transportation Element Crash Indicators The City Police Department (Broward Sheriff's Office) supplies the Florida Department of Highway Safety (FDHS) with accident data collected in the City. Accident data is also compiled by the State Highway Patrol and other municipal police departments. The City supports legislation which establishes a consistent statewide road safety database that would be readily available to municipalities and the public so that the appropriate agencies could be better prepared to correct safety problems. The City continues to support efforts by FDOT and Broward County to identify, fund and construct improvements to reduce the number of accidents. Access management Transportation Element Policy 3.4 provides for Dania Beach to prepare land development regulations to control the connection of access points of driveways and roads to roadways. Hurricane evacuation No residential development is located on the barrier island. That portion of the City that is located on the barrier island is limited to the Florida Atlantic University Sea Tech Research Facility, a public park, and the public beach. Persons east of Federal Highway that are to be evacuated during a Hurricane need not cross bridges to the mainland. The designated roadway facilities utilized to evacuate the coastal populations are shown on Map 2-1. Table 2-5 shows the two east-west evacuation routes leading from and into the Coastal High Hazard Area. All bridges crossing the Intracoastal Waterway are moveable bascule bridges as identified on Table 2-6.

These are "Dania Beach Boulevard to Stirling Road" and "Dania Beach Boulevard to Griffin Road." Both Griffin / Stirling Roads are six lane arterials located closer to Dania Beach Boulevard than Sheridan Street.

Public Transit Network Map 2-2.1, the 20071996 Broward County Public Transit Network, shows Broward County Transit public transit routes, terminals and transfer stations. a. Public transit facilities. Public transit facilities include bus terminals, transfer stations, rights-of-way, motorized vehicles (buses and vans), transit bus stops, transit amenities, and other facilities. There are no terminals or transfer stations in the City of Dania Beach. Rights-Of-Way and Exclusive Public Transit Corridors. Additional right-of- way is acquired along major arterial roadways during the roadway widening process for bus pullout bays, also called bus bays. Bus pullout bays are specialized bus stop auxiliary lanes, independent of the through traffic travel lane. The bus bays are designed to minimize traffic obstruction and maximize passenger safety. Right of way for bus bays is also obtained through the platting process. Exclusive public transit corridors are roadways or railways exclusively designated by the FDOT or a local government for public transit, which are physically separated from general use corridors and to which access is highly restricted. The South Florida Rail Corridor, previously known as the CSX Transportation railway corridor; is the currently the only exclusive public transportation corridor in Dania Beach and all of Broward County. The City of Dania Beach, in conjunction with the SFRPC and other II - 9 Transportation Element eastern cities, are studying the feasibility of introducing passenger/commuter rail traffic on the Florida East Coast railway. Public Transit Vehicles. Broward County Transit's ("BCt") 4-9S�2005 vehicle inventory consists of 2-02 275 full-size transit coaches, each with seating capacities of 44 48 40-42persons. All vehicles are air-conditioned and have kneeling mechanisms, which lower the steps of a bus to accommodate persons who have mobility impairments. All buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts for facilitating boarding and disembarking, which extend from the bus to the at-grade level of the bus stop (either sidewalk or roadway). The average age of the BCt fleet is 5 years. Public Transit Bus Stops. BCt maintains, monitors, and updates its' Bus Stop Inventory. Each stop has a unique code for the bus route and a unique location code that that shows that there are shared bus stops. A non-accessible bus stop is one that does not have a 5-foot by 8-foot concrete pad, connected to a sidewalk with a curb cut. Public Transit Amenities. The Bus Stop Inventory reports data regarding amenities, including bus benches, shelters, pull-out bays, right turn lanes, and trashcans. Shelters located in municipalities are coordinated with the municipalities in accordance with BCt standards. The City of Dania Beach has contracts with private advertising companies to provide bus benches and bus shelters where the City and the respective company mutually agree to their placement. Table 2-7 Bus Stop nventory Stops Benches Shelters Bays Trash 141 49 5 12 21 Source: Broward County Transit Development Master Plan 2005-2009 Other facilities. A bus maintenance facility is located on Angler's Avenue south of Griffin Road within Dania Beach. This site has the capacity to park and maintain up to 150 buses. b. Public transit services. Public transit services are passenger services provided by public, private or non-profit entities. They include the following surface transit modes: fixed route bus service, express route bus service, feeder bus service, demand responsive service, municipal transit service, II - 10 Transportation Element intercounty service, and other services. Map 2-2.1, Broward County Transit Routes, shows the existing fixed public transit routes. Fixed-Route Bus Service. The Broward County Mass Transit Division operates Broward County Transit (BCt), a fixed-route bus system servicing nearly all of Broward County's developable area. It provides service on a repetitive, fixed-schedule basis. Each fixed-route trip serves the same origins and designations. Currently, BCt operates 40 transit routes, 35 as regular open-door service and one as a park-and-ride service. Fixed-route transit service is provided seven days a week, although at reduced levels on Sundays and certain holidays. Regular routes operate from as early as 5:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sundays. Park-and-ride routes operate at the beginning and end of each weekday. Regular routes primarily operate on 30-minute headways during the week and Saturday, 60 minutes on Sundays. The City of Dania Beach is currently served by several BCt fixed routes including Routes 1, 3, 4, 6, 12, 15, and 17. These routes, in conjunction with the Community Shuttle, provide transit coverage to over 80% of the area in the City as reflected in Map 2-2.2, Transit Route Coverage Map. The transit route load factor is a capacity performance measure used in the Congestion Management System (CMS). A bus route with a load factor of one (1) is operating at capacity, meaning all seats are occupied. Table 2-8 shows there is one transit route that achieves the load factor of one (1) during peak hours within Dania Beach. With only one of many transit routes that serve operating at capacity, there is generally adequate capacity in the current BCt system to accommodate additional riders who live and work in Dania Beach. With respect to Route No. 1 (US 1), the City supports BCt efforts to expand capacity, increase operating hours, and reduce headways. Table 2-8 Fixed Public Transit Routes Exceeding the Load Factor One Roadway Segment Route No. US 1 from Broward Terminal (Ft. Laud) to Aventura Mall 1 Source: Broward County Congestion Management System: Performance Evaluation and Monitoring, Broward County Transportation Planning Division. II - 11 Transportation Element Express Bus Services. There is not any express bus service currently serving the City of Dania Beach. Feeder Bus Services. Feeder bus service routes are defined as local transit service that picks up and delivers passengers to a rail transit terminal, express bus stop, transfer point, or terminal. Feeder bus service is currently provided to Tri-Rail stations under a private contract. Broward County, through a contract with the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority, supplies feeder services to the Tri-Rail terminal located in Dania Beach and identified in Table 2-9. Table 2-9 Tri-Rail Feeder Bus Service Station Name Route's Main Roadways Vehicles Ft. Lauderdale Airport Griffin Road and Ravenswood Road 3 Source:Train Schedule and System Information.Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority. Community Bus Service. Community Bus Service, operated by the City under a contract with Broward County, provides intracity (local) bus service from neighborhoods to local destinations, including shopping centers, medical facilities, community centers, parks, the municipal beach, and Broward County Transit transfer locations. Under this contract, the City leases ADA accessible minibuses from BCt for $10 per year. BCt pays an annual stipend to assist in the maintenance and operation of the vehicles. The mini buses have a capacity of 16 passenger vehicles and all are wheel chair accessible. The City staff work closely with BCt and citizens to design route alignments and operating characteristics. The Community Bus Service, while a fixed route facility, can be modified by the City based on citizen user demand and capacity. The City periodically evaluates the Community Bus System in conjunction with BCt to assess ridership rates and identify system improvements. The City currently operates Me three community bus service routes. These routes are identified on Map 2-2.3, Community Bus route Map. While the service is designed to provide local bus service, another function is to provide access to the regional transit system as weld including Tri-Rail. The routes are designed to provide links with BCt Routes. These links provide those who live and work in the City who are not served by BCt fixed route service with access to the regional transit system. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. The community bus service operates on 40 minute headways. II - 12 Transportation Element Total transit coverage area in the City is over 80% including the BCt and the Community Bus service. See Map 2-2.2. Table 2-10 Local Community Bus Service Average Route's Main Roadways Vehicles Headway 4 60 Minutes East Route: City Beach, SR A1A, 2 4 60 Minutes Dania Beach Boulevard, SE 3r° Avenue, S.E. 51" Avenue 60 Minutes West Route: Dania Beach Boulevard, NW 2nd Street, Bryan Road, Oakwood Boulevard. West of I- 95 between Griffin Rd and Stirling Rd along Angler's Ave Park Rd SW 53 St, and SW 31 Ave.49tudy Source: City of Dania Beach, Community Bus Service. Demand Responsive Service. Broward County funds and administers the Transportation Options Program (TOPS), which provides door-to-door service, upon request, to residents who are transportation or economically disadvantaged, for several specific trip purposes. The Mass Transit Division reports that in 1997 there were approximately 164 privately operated taxi and limousine companies registered in Broward County. These companies have licensed vehicles with capacities of eight (8) passengers or less. Intercounty Services. BCt fixed routes provide intercounty service to Miami Dade and Palm Beach Counties. Route 1 which runs from the Broward Downtown terminal to the Aventura Mall travels through the City of Dania Beach along US1. BCt routes also connect with Palm Beach County's transit system at the Boca Town Center and Mizner Park Developments in the City of Boca Raton. Other Transportation Services. Other transportation providers within Broward County that provide service to Dania Beach include the Broward County School Board and various private companies, as well as over 30 social service agencies. c. FDOT designated public transportation corridors The purpose of corridor designation and subsequent planning is to relieve congestion by increasing people carrying capacity through the use of high II - 13 Transportation Element occupancy vehicles. FDOT has identified seven designated public transportation corridors in Broward County. The Tri-Rail corridor is the only currently designated public transportation corridor in the City of Dania Beach. Details about the corridor, including justifications are provided in the public transportation corridor reports prepared by FDOT. The City of Dania Beach, in conjunction with the SFRPC and other eastern cities, are studying the feasibility of introducing passenger rail traffic on the Florida East Coast railway. The Tri-Rail corridor travels through the City of Dania Beach along the west side of 1-95. The current and future land use plan designations along the corridor are generally compatible with the transit corridor and include nonresidential uses such as commercial, industrial and FLL. The Dania Beach Tri-Rail station is located on Griffin Road and is an integral part of the Sportsman Park retail and entertainment center. In order to further enhance the attractiveness of the Tri-Rail system and improve the linkage between land uses and transit service, residential uses should be developed at and around the Tri-Rail stations, where appropriate, to create an urban village development pattern. In order to promote and protect this public transportation corridor, the City will continue to coordinate with Broward County Planning Council, FDOT and the MPO along with other municipalities to establish a transit oriented corridor overlay zoning district as a means of promoting public transit use and reducing the impact on the Florida Interstate Highway System. d. Major public transit trip generators and attractors Major public transit generators and attractors are concentrated areas of intense land use or activity that produce or attract a significant number of local trip ends. Public transit generators are typified by residential land uses. Public transit attractors include commercial, industrial, office, commercial recreation, educational, institutional, and transportation land uses. Ideally, public transit should connect major transit generators to major transit attractors. Broward County defines a major public transit generator as one of the 40 Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) with the highest population density. A major public transit attractor is one of the 40 TAZs with the highest employment density. The number 40 was chosen because it approximately represents II - 14 Transportation Element five (5) percent of all TAZs within Broward County. The major public transit generator and attractor TAZs are displayed in Map 2-3. Other activity centers in and adjacent to the City are provided below: Activity Center, Activity Type City Hall Employment Dania Jai Alai Fronton Recreation Dania Beach Recreation John U Lloyd State Park Recreation Outdoor World/Sportsman Park Shopping, Museum All of these activity centers are served by BCt or Community Bus routes. e. Safety (Broward County Transit: BCt) Public transit safety addresses such issues as the safety certification process, transit fatalities and injuries, security surveillance at terminals and on buses, and hurricane evacuation. Safety certification. BCt is in full compliance with the safety requirements mandated by the System Safety Program Plan (SSPP), Chapter 14-90, "Equipment and Operational Safety Standards Governing Public Sector Bus Transit Systems". Security detail and surveillance. BCt has a security detail composed of Broward County Sheriff deputies. Additionally, all new buses purchased are equipped with security cameras. Hurricane evacuation. BCt provides bus service to the Coastal High Hazard Area. 3. Bicycle Network The bicycle network includes bicycle facilities and services designed to enable and encourage the use of bicycles for recreational and utilitarian purposes. Recreational trips include travel for leisure, enjoyment, or pleasure and utilitarian trips include travel for work or errands. a. Bicycle facilities. Bicycle facilities include bikeways, bicycle parking racks and bicycle transport racks. II - 15 Transportation Element Bikeways. A bikeway is any road, path or way that is open to bicycle travel and from which motor vehicles are excluded. Bikeways may be located within a roadway right-of-way, but are usually within an independent right-of-way. Broward County bikeways include paths, lanes, and wide curb lanes, which total almost 6S 299 miles. The locations of bikeways are displayed on Map 2-4, "Significant Bikeways". Bikeways predominantly follow state roads, although scattered segments follow local roads. A bike path is a bikeway that is physically separated by an open space or barrier. The bike path follows the east side of S.E. 51h Avenue, between Sheridan Street and East Dania Beach Boulevard. There is a substandard bike lane in Dania Beach Boulevard from S.E. 5th Avenue to the public beach across the Inter Coastal Intracoastal Waterway. Upgrading this facility is addressed in Objective 1, Policy 1-16. Bicycle transport racks. Bicycle transport racks are facilities provided on public transit vehicles and allow a passenger to carry a bike from a point of origin to a destination. Public transport racks enable the public transit user to reach destinations not served by the public transit system, thereby increasing the service area. Currently transport racks are provided on several BCt bus routes and are planned for all routes. Tri-Rail provides bicycle transport racks on each car. b. Bicycle services. Bicycle services include bicycle repair services and educational programs. Repair. Bike repair and maintenance are integral to bike ownership. The private sector provides bicycle repair services. There are numerous bicycle repair shops located throughout the county. 4. Airports and Related Facility Services Civil aviation activities can be subdivided into passenger air carrier, air cargo, and general aviation facilities. Broward Count owns operates and maintains 9 Y p the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL) which is located immediately adjacent to the corporate limits of the City of Dania Beach. FLL is a regional facility that serves international and domestic air carriers. It occupies a site of 1,718 acres located south of 1-595 and north of Griffin Road. The airport is accessible by roadway (from 1-95, I-595, Griffin Road and US-1), by Tri-Rail shuttle service and by a BCt bus route. II - 16 Transportation Element The airfield consists of three active runways and supporting taxi ways and taxi lanes. The southern runway is a utility runway, designed for use by general aviation and commuter aircrafts. The other runways are designed to accommodate air carrier aircraft. The existing terminal complex includes three terminal building units with five concourses. The terminals provide facilities to accommodate passengers and their baggage including ticket counter, passenger waiting areas, baggage claim, baggage handling, concessions, customs and immigration, as well as airline operations base. The terminals combined exceed 900,000 square feet. Parking structure and surface parking lots accommodate short and long term parking for over 10,000 vehicles. FLL has experienced significant growth in recent years and future growth is projected. Due to the scale and activity at FLL, one of the City's biggest challenges regarding transportation and land use planning is to ensure that future expansion on the airport is consistent and compatible with established 30+ year old residential neighborhoods adjacent to the airport. To assure that airport and airfield development is compatible with established residential development abutting the airport, city staff and elected officials participate in the planning processes related to FLL. 5. Intermodal Terminals and Access to Intermodal Facilities An intermodal facility is a facility designed to relate to two or more modes of transportation using single or closely related transportation facility and service. FDOT's Corridor Management Procedure defines it as the provision of connections between different transportation modes, such as adequate highways to ports or bus feeder services to rail transit, individual modes working together to provide the user with the best choices of services. For purposes of this Transportation Element only passenger intermodal facilities are addressed. Intermodal facilities include terminals, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and park-and-ride facilities. Intermodal facilities that serve Dania Beach include the Sportsman Park Tri-Rail station and the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL). FLL is served by roadways, rail and transit service which makes it a primary intermodal facility in the region. The Sportsman Park Tri-Rail station is the closest to FLL and shuttle service is provided to connect Tri-Rail to FLL. Plans are currently being developed by II - 17 Transportation Element Broward County to expand the intermodal connections at FILL with a rail facility that will link FLL with Port Everglades. B. TRANSPORTATION LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD Florida law requires transportation level of service standards be adopted for roads and public transit facilities within the local government's jurisdiction. 1. Roadway LOS Standards The roadway level of service (LOS) standard is a qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow of traffic. The LOS standard is represented by a letter scale "A" through "F," with "A" being the most favorable conditions and "F" being the least favorable. The LOS is measured by dividing the number of vehicle trips (i.e., volume) on the facility by the capacity of that facility. While this is the most prevalent LOS standard, other standards could be employed. This includes LOS standards based on the number of person trips, vehicle miles traveled, vehicle hours traveled, or average speed can be used. a. Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) / Florida Intrastate Highway System. Rule 9J-5.0055(2)(c), FAC, requires local governments to adopt the LOS standards established by the Florida Department of Transportation by rule for facilities on the Florida IntF state Highway System SIS / (FINS). The only SIS/FINS roadways in Dania Beach are 1-95 and I-595. ROADWAY LINK TWO-WAY PEAK LANES HOUR.VOLUMES. 1-95 Miami Dade Count to 1-595 14,300 10 1-595 SR 7 to US 1 8,500 3 b. Roadway LOS standard exemptions. The Florida Statues allow local and county governments to adopt a number of exceptions to the traffic concurrency requirements. The exceptions apply to geographic areas (e.g., transportation concurrency exception areas), to specific roadway segments (e.g., constrained roadways), and to specific developments (e.g., de minimis impacts). The entire City was located within the Broward County Urban Infill Transportation Concurrency Exception Area which allowed development to proceed in infill areas without meeting the concurrency standards. The TCEA (adopted in 1995) extends from the Atlantic Ocean to Florida's Turnpike in the southern half of Broward County. Broward County has replaced the TCEA with Transit Oriented Concurrency (TOC). The City of Dania Beach is incorporating TOC into its II - 18 Transportation Element Comprehensive Plan. c. Other non-local and non-municipal roadways. Rule 9J-5.0055(2) (c), FAC, requires local governments to adopt LOS standards for county and state roads. While the City of Dania Beach has adopted the generalized two- way peak hour volumes for Florida's Urbanized Areas at the LOS "D" standard as shown in Table 2-11, the City of Dania Beach addresses and establishes the LOS within Transit Oriented Concurrency.

Concurrency Management System The Community Development Department implements the Concurrency Management System (CMS) as it relates to municipal roadways. The Broward County Department of Environmental Protection implements the CMS for County and State roadways. The CMS provides a development order or permit shall be issued when a roadway exceeds the applicable adopted LOS standard provided one or more of the following mitigation measures apply: 1). The proposed development does not place any trips on, or create any, overcapacity links within the impact area. The impact area consists of all property within the impact distance of the boundary of the proposed development site, where the impact distance is defined below: 11 - 19 Transportation Element Proposed Use: Impact Distance(miles): Church 1 Commercial, less than 200,000 square feet GFA 1 Commercial, between 200,000 & 1 million sq ft GFA 2 Commercial, greater than 1 millionsquare feet GFA 3 Commercial recreation 1 Community Facility 1 Day Care 1 Hotel 1 Industrial /Warehouse 2 Office 2 Park (local) 1 Park (regional) 2 Regional Cultural/Tourism Facility 3 Residential 1.5 School 1 Proposed developments with mixed use will be assigned the impact distance from the above table that is closest to the weighted average of impact distances of the individual uses in the proposed development, with the weights based on trips generated. Traffic studies submitted by an applicant shall be considered in reaching this determination. 2). The proposed development places trips on, or creates overcapacity links within the impact area but one of the following conditions applies: a. There is an approved action plan to accommodate the traffic impact of the development; or b. The necessary improvements to provide the applicable level of service are either under construction or are the subject of a executed contract for the immediate implementation of the improvements at the time the permit is issued; or c. The necessary improvements to provide the applicable level of service have been included in the first two (2) years of the adopted municipal, state or county schedule of transportation improvements and the applicable government entity makes a determination that a binding contract for the implementation of said improvements will be executed no later than the final day of the second fiscal year of the original schedule; provided, however, that for an improvement to a FIHS facility, inclusion in the third year of the adopted state program may also be acceptable; or II - 20 Transportation Element d. The necessary improvements for the applicable LOS are provided for in an enforceable development agreement and will be available prior to certificates of occupancy that require those facilities. An enforceable development agreement may include, but is not limited to, development agreements pursuant to section 163.3220, Florida Statutes; or e. The development permit will be issued in accordance with, and as authorized by, an approved Florida Quality Development (FQD) or Development of Regional Impact (DRI) development order which development order was either issued prior to the adoption of the 1989 Broward County Comprehensive Plan or was issued after being reviewed for concurrency; or f. The proposed development is found to have vested rights with regard to any affected road segment in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, or a common law vested rights determination made as to that road segment in accordance with Section 5-181(I) of this Article. The proposed development must meet concurrency for any road segment for which a vested rights determination has not been made; or g. The proposed development meets the de minimis criteria- h. The proposed development is within an area designated on the Broward County Land Use Plan for urban infill, urban redevelopment or downtown revitalization transportation concurrency area. i. The proposed development would promote public transportation. Specifically, the proposed development is either: (ii) a public transit capital facility, including transit terminals, lines, shelters and stations; or (iii) an office building or office project that includes fixed-rail or transit terminals as part of the building This CMS was modified from the one that was adopted in the City's previous Traffic Circulation Element. The revisions will be incorporated in the City's Land Development Code by Deeember, 2008 as stated in Policy 1.29. Policy 1.254 addresses coordination with Broward County concerning overcapacity roadways segments and roadway segments approaching capacity. II - 21 Transportation Element III. DATA ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS The Transportation Element is based upon the following series of analysis: land use and transportation system interaction; existing and projected transportation level of service and system needs, including existing and projected intermodal needs; maintaining the adopted transportation level of service standards; consistency between future land use and transportation elements, and consistency with other transportation plans; and promotion and support of public transportation system in designated public transportation corridors. The minimum requirements for this analysis are spelled out in Rule 9J-5.0199(3) of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC.). A. LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INTERACTION This section is broken down into four parts: Subsection 1 addresses growth trends and travel patterns associated with the transportation system, i.e., the roadway and public transit networks (W-5.019(3)(d), FAC). Subsection 2 focuses on the adequacy of the transportation system for evacuation (W-5.019(3)(c), FAC). Subsection 3 looks at the availability of the transportation system to serve existing land uses (W-5.019(3)(b), FAC). Subsection 4 addresses land use compatibility around airports (W-5.019(3)(d), FAC). 1. Growth Trends and Travel Patterns No single force has had a greater impact on the pattern of land development in American cities in this century than the construction of roadways (See, The Transportation/Land Use Connection, Moore and Thorsnes, 1994). Initially, better roadways decreased the cost (both time and money) of transportation within and between urban areas. In recent years, roadway construction has gone hand in hand with what has become known as urban sprawl. Broward County's historic growth and development were primarily linked to the construction of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and Flagler's railroad. These improvements allowed the movement of freight and passengers to and from Broward County. It was the development of the railroad that specifically led to the development of Dania Beach as an agricultural center. It became a City in 1904 not only making it the oldest municipality in Broward County; it was a legal entity prior to the creation of Broward County. Construction of US 1 and then 1-95 through Broward County provided Dania Beach with greatly enhanced roadway access. More recent growth in Broward County has been westward following the opening of lands for development through drainage projects and subsequent building of high volume roadways. Broward County is now attempting to re-direct part of this growth that has been going to the III - 1 Transportation Element west through its participation in the Eastward Ho! Initiative. This initiative has seen significant interest in development and redevelopment within the City of Dania Beach. 2. Establishment of Community Redevelopment Area and Local Activity Center Land Use Designation In April 2004, the Broward County Commission approved the City of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Area ("CRA") Plan for a 500 acre CRA to include commercial properties along the US 1 corridor, the Dania Beach Boulevard Corridor, as well as the central business district surrounding city hall. Also in 2004, both Broward County and DCA approved the City's 150 acre "Local Activity Center" land use plan amendment designation within the urban core of the CRA (See Map 3-4 2-5). Both the CRA and LAC land use designations are intended to foster redevelopment of Dania Beach's 100 year old business district as a mixed-use pedestrian friendly urban village incorporating Transit-Oriented-Design (TOD) to increase transit usage and reduce reliance on single occupancy vehicle usage. 3. Availability of Transportation Facilities and Modes to Serve Existing Land Use Availability, as used here, refers to the extent to which the transportation system provides access to serve existing land uses. Roadways, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrian ways are transportation modes that require an extensive network of connections in order to serve existing uses. Consequently, this section addresses availability of the roadway, public transit, bikeways, and pedestrian way networks to serve existing land use. a. Roadway network Availability of the roadway network to serve existing land uses is primarily a function of the existing local roadway system. New development in the City is assured adequate access to local roadways by the Dania Beach City Code. Collector and arterial roadways, as a secondary or tertiary function, often provided direct access to existing land uses. This occurred more often prior to the implementation of current access management standards. b. Public transit network Availability of public transit to service existing land uses is based on the functional area coverage of the existing fixed-route bus network. Functional area coverage is defined as a '/z mile corridor surrounding a bus route, '/4 mile in each direction. The '/4 mile radius is based upon III - 2 Transportation Element studies showing a person would walk up to '/< mile to access the public transit network. The level of service standard adopted by Broward County for public transit is to maintain a 70 percent peak hour functional coverage for residential and employment areas. Data provided in Section C below indicates that these standards are met and there are no transit concurrency deficiencies in the County-wide transit system. Route coverage maps provided as Map 2-2.2 indicate that over 80 percent of the City is currently served by the Broward County transit system and the Community Bus Service. The City continues to coordinate with the MPO and BCt to expand and enhance transit service in the City. The City is committed to providing the Community Bus Service in conjunction with Broward County to serve these areas of the City that are not within the BCt fixed route service coverage area. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that BCt, as an operator of a fixed-route bus system, offer complementary service to persons with disabilities who are unable to use the fixed-route system. A complementary paratransit service should operate at the level of service comparable to what is provided to persons without disabilities who use the fixed-route system. Since 1996, Broward County Transit has been in full compliance with the service criteria established by the ADA. c. Bikeways Network As previously described, the bikeway system in Dania Beach is limited and deficient, especially along state roads. The City continues to work with FDOT (who has sole jurisdiction over state roads) to obtain funding for bike lane improvements, particularly along Dania Beach Boulevard between Downtown and the Beach. The City also requires the addition of bike paths and bike lanes along all state roads scheduled for resurfacing or reconstruction. This link between the bicycle and public transit is possible because BCt and Tri-Rail are making provision to carry bicycles on their vehicles. Lack of appropriate bicycle facilities at terminals, however, limits the effectiveness of the connection between the bicycle and public transit. Placing bicycle lockers at Tri-Rail stations and BCt transfer points would increase security for parked bicycles, but requires administration over the locker rentals. Providing this service would eliminate two (2) major disincentives to riding a bicycle to a transit location: lack of parking and bicycle theft. III - 3 Transportation Element Allowing bicycles access on board commuter trains and buses has been successful in many areas around the country. In 1995, Tri-Rail developed a policy that would allow bicycles to be brought onto trains. Initially, this policy restricted the hours a bicycle could be brought on board. In 1997, however, Tri-Rail changed its policy regarding bicycles and now allows bicycles on all of its trains. Also, in 1997, BCt began receiving Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds to equip the entire fleet of buses with bicycle racks. d. Pedestrian ways/Sidewalks Availability of pedestrian ways to service existing land uses is primarily a product of the functional area coverage of the existing pedestrian way. As noted in the public transit availability discussion, the distance a person would be willing to walk for transit is approximately '/ mile or 1,320 feet. While this distance is the industry standard, 95% of the Local Activity Center and 75% of the CRA is located within 500 feet of a transit stop. The City of Dania Beach requires construction of sidewalks along local, collector, and arterial roadways as part of the City's site plan review process of new residential and non-residential construction. The City requests the addition of bike paths and bike lanes along all state roads scheduled for resurfacing or reconstruction. 4. Adequacy of Transportation System for Evacuation a. Evacuation Routes No residential development is located on the barrier island. That portion of the City that is located on the barrier island is limited to the Florida Atlantic University Sea Tech Research Facility, a public park, and the public beach. Those persons of east of Federal Highway that are to be evacuated during a Hurricane need not cross bridges to the mainland. Thus, evacuation for a Hurricane event is significantly less difficult for Dania Beach than it is for most coastal communities. b. Transportation and Hazard Constraints on Routes Again, due to the fact that Dania Beach residents are not required to cross bridges to the mainland in order to evacuate there are not the constraints faced by other communities. c. Evacuation Time The Hurricane Evacuation Study conducted by the South Florida Regional Planning Council estimates that residents having to evacuate from the III - 4 Transportation Element barrier islands using Dania Beach Boulevard could do so in about 3.5 hours. Dania Beach residents will be able to evacuate in significantly less time. Again, the Dania Beach hurricane evacuation time is significantly less as a result of not having to deal with the bridge constraint issue. 5. Compatibility of Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport with Adjacent Development in the City of Dania Beach Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is a 1,718-acre facility that abuts the City of Dania Beach to the west, south, and east. Properties to the east of the airport are made up of petroleum tank farms; vacant industrial land, car rental facilities, manufacturing and warehouses. Properties to the south and west of the airport are made up of established single-family, residential neighborhoods. In the case of Dania Beach: 1) Airport development has been relatively recent in the City's history, 2) Airport development has occurred subsequent to development of nearby residential properties, and 3) Airport development is often is incompatible with adjacent uses. While acknowledging the airports presence as a major transportation facility, the City's first concern is too assure that airport expansion and development does not adversely affect existing residential development or the city's fiscal ability to provide municipal services. Accessibility. Residents of the City and the Tri-County area can access the airport through a number of modes of transportation. Local access to the airport is primarily by road from U.S. Route 1, which has east west connections via 1-595 and Griffin Road. These two roads in turn provide connections to Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike. Broward County Transit Route 1 serves the airport. A Tri-Rail connection at Sportsman's Park in Dania Beach was recently completed. A shuttle bus will be able to bring passengers to the airport terminals from the Tri-Rail Depot at Sportsman's Park. With the convergence of these modes of transportation, the airport is a primary multi-modal transportation facility. B. EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM LEVEL OF SERVICE AND SYSTEM NEEDS Analysis of the existing transportation levels of service (LOS) and system needs are based on the following data (W-5.019(3)(a), FAC): existing design and operating capacities; most recently available estimates for average daily and III - 5 Transportation Element peak hour vehicle trips; existing modal split and vehicle occupancy rates; existing public transit facilities; population characteristics; and the existing characteristics of the major trip generators and attractors within the community. 1. Roadways Network Map-Table 3-1 depicts the existing roadway network segments that are approaching capacity, that is, those roads with a VIC ratio between 0.90 and 0.99, and those segments that are overcapacity. The figures, including committed trips, are derived from the Traffic Review and Impact Planning System (TRIPS) model, which is operated and maintained by Broward County. Information developed through the model is provided to the City. Map Table 3-14 depicts the existing levels of service based on p.m. peak hour traffic counts derived from the TRIPS model.

Public Transit Network The City;'s Plan shall establish the following transportation level of service (LOS) standards: • Within transit oriented concurrency districts, the transportation LOS standards, for the purpose of issuing development orders and permits, are to achieve and maintain the following by FY 2009: Southeast District — Achieve headways of 30 minutes or less on 80% of routes. Establish at least one neighborhood transit center. Establish at least one additional bus route. Establish at least one additional community bus route. Overall — Increase number of bus stop shelters by 30%. Map 2-2.2 displays the coverage currently provided to the City by BCt and the Community Bus Service. It is estimated that the City actually enjoys Functional Coverage rate of greater than 802 percent, which means that more than 13,500 residents are served by BCt pursuant to this standard. C. PROJECTED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM LEVELS OF SERVICE AND SYSTEM NEEDS Rule 9J-5.019 3 , FAC, requires an analysis on the projected transportation LOS and system needs based on the future land uses shown on the future land use map. Rule 9-J-5.019 (3)(e), FAC, requires an analysis of projected intermodal needs. This section addresses the above requirements. 1. Roadways Network The data and analysis included herein is based on the MPO's Year 2015 and 2030 Long Range Plan Needs Assessment. III - 7 Transportation Element Table 3-2 below documents the projected peak hour level of service for 2015. The volumes in Table 3-2 are based on the Broward County Land Use Plan which establishes a future land use map designation for all properties within Broward County. Because of this land use coordination process, the data in Table 3-2 also reflects the current City Dania Land Use Plan.

Table 3-4 Broward County Transportation Improvement Program Project Limits Type of Work Schedule Ravenswood Rd Griffin Rd. to Stirling Rd Add 2L (41-D) 2007 US 1 NW 3 St. to City Limit Bike Path 2008 Source: Broward County Transportation Improvement Program FY 2007 — FY 2011, Broward County Department of Planning and Environmental Protection, Metropolitan Planning Organization. Even with these improvements, portions of Griffin, Stirling, and US 1 will operate at an unacceptable LOS in the year 2030 due to the following reasons: 1). Griffin and Stirling Road, due to their proximity to 1-95, 1-595, and Fort Lauderdale International Airport, serve primarily east/west commuter traffic in south and central Broward that neither originates nor terminates in Dania Beach. U.S. 1, due to it proximity to 1-595, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and the cities of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, serves primarily north/south traffic that neither originates nor terminates in Dania Beach. Because most of the traffic using U.S. 1, Griffin, and Stirling are external to Dania Beach, the city has limited control over the projected increases in traffic on these facilities. Griffin, Stirling and U.S. 1 are constrained facilities. As such, additional right-of-way can only be acquired though condemnation of commercial properties abutting these roads. Neither FDOT nor the MPO has identified any funding for this purpose in the current Long Range (20 year) Transportation Plan. Even if funded, the acquisition of commercial land for roadway expansion along U.S. 1 would result in an substantial loss of tax base, render many properties unusable, and significantly reduce redevelopment potential. A previous FDOT proposal to create an alternate U.S. 1 by extending Dixie Highway from Sheridan Street north to Old Griffin Road was rejected by the City Commission in the mid-1990's due to neighborhood impact concerns. 111 - 10 Transportation Element Due to these circumstances, the City is implementing Transit Oriented Concurrency and works closely with the Broward County MPO and FDOT to identify alternative transportation solutions to improve the efficiency of the existing roadway network and focus on transit improvements to alleviate existing and potential congestion. The City cannot implement traffic or transit related improvements without the support and funding assistance of these agencies. Policy 4.1 provides for the City to support Broward County's programs to study constrained roadways so as to provide for an adequate level of service and to improve mobility. 2. Public Transit Network Map 292 22 reflects the BCt transit service coverage area in the City of Dania Beach. Data provided in Table 3-5 demonstrate that 55 80% of the total area of the City is served by BCt transit. Table 3-5 BCt Transit Service Coverage Population Square Mileage #of Bus Routes # of Bus Stops %e Area Served 27,000 7.8 7 141 92-.-9 80 Source: Broward County Transit Development Plan,2005-2009 The TOC LOS standards adopted with this Element will further enhance these facilities. Another important area of public transit service is to accommodate the special needs of the transportation disadvantaged. These needs are documented in the Broward County Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan 2004. The City of Dania Beach continues to work closely with the MPO and BCt to maintain and improve the transit level of service in the City in order to improve overall mobility. 3. Bikeways Network The summary of projected needs included in this subsection is based upon the Broward County Bicycle Facilities Network Plan. The primary need is to develop a bicycle facility network that will provide access to the majority of trip generators. In recent years the consideration of bikeways as part of the roadway design, like landscaping, has gradually become part of the roadway's design process. III - 11 Transportation Element However, because bicycle lanes were rare in all of Broward County and immediate connectivity between the few existing facilities was not financially feasible, a construction by opportunity approach was utilized to begin development of the county's on-road bicycle facility network. As new roads are beingconstructed, on-road bicycle facilities are included. Y Because most bikeway deficiencies are located within FDOT right-of-way (ie, Dania Beach Boulevard to Beach), the City cannot implement bikeway system improvements without the support and financial assistance of the Florida Department of Transportation. Policies 1-11 through 1.16 further the above initiatives as it relates to improved bikeways. 4. Pedestrian Network The City requires all new development to include provisions for sidewalks. As new construction takes place sidewalks are installed. 5. Railways Network Projected railway network needs is based on the Tri-County Rail Master Plan, the Transit Development Plan Fiscal Year 2004 update, and the Florida Rail System Plan. Planning for the railway network is different than other transportation modes as the most of the network is owned and operated by the private sector. As such, the City has limited input regarding railroad decisions. FDOT's role is limited to the "proper maintenance, safety, revitalization, and expansion of the rail system to assure its continued and increased availability to respond to statewide mobility needs." Tri-Rail has completed the Airport Station located at 1-95 and Griffin Road. This facility is linked to the airport, Tri-Rail shuttle services, and the City Community Bus. 6. Intermodal Facilities The summary of projected needs included in this subsection is based on the Transit Needs Assessment (1996), prepared by Carr Smith Corradino for the Broward County Mass Transit Division, and the Transit Development Plan (TDP), Fiscal Year 2004 Update, prepared by the Tri-County Commuter Rail Authority. The following analysis of the projected deficiencies and needs are focused on terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, and park- and-ride lots. III - 12 Transportation Element a. Intermodal facilities of state. Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport needs are respectively addressed in waterway network and airport network needs. With regard to heavy rail, there is a continuing need for federal subsidies to keep CSX, the FEC, and other rail related facilities operational. b. Terminals. Tri-Rail has completed construction of a train depot in the Sportsman's Park Development in Dania Beach. This facility serves the City as well as the airport and the port. The City will encourage redevelopment in the area to incorporate mixed uses which will enhance ridership. c. Connections. A Major Investment Study (MIS) funded by the FDOT is currently underway to develop alternatives for an intermodal connection between the Port and the Airport. Additionally, the Major Investment Study should identify the most appropriate technology, anticipating that potential technologies range from fixed-guideway systems to "special" public transit buses operating primarily in mixed traffic with some priority treatment. D. MAINTAINING THE ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS Prior to discussing how Dania Beach can maintain the adopted transportation LOS standards, several caveats are in order. The transportation system is a function of the previously made land use decisions. Most of the historical land use decisions impacting transportation LOS standards in Dania Beach t were made by other cities, Broward County, and the State of Florida. These previously made land use decisions include: the location and intensity of built development and constructed roadways; the location and intensity of approved but unbuilt (i.e., vested) development; and public transit investments. Dania Beach and surrounding cities are infill communities with constrained roadways. As such, with the exception of public transit investment, these historical decisions cannot be retracted. The availability of transportation funding, especially at the federal level, can greatly influence local government's ability to maintain the adopted LOS standard. The City works closely through the Broward County Transportation Planning Technical Coordinating Committee and the Broward County toward supporting level of service Standards. III - 13 Transportation Element 1. Concurrency Management System (CMS) Due to the amount of development that occurred in the City prior to the adoption of CMS requirements and the lack of available right-of-way for roadway improvements, constructing roadway improvements to meet the adopted level of service on all roadways is cost prohibitive. In order to balance mobility goals with the need for development and redevelopment in the community, the entire City was previously included in a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area that allows infill development even when the road network does not currently maintain LOS. Broward County adopted Transit Oriented Concurrency in 2005 and Dania Beach is incorporating that program into the Transportation Element. The City also supports FDOT and MPO efforts to improve Tri-Rail service to create an attractive alternative for commuters in the region. The City supports continued improvements in the system as well as shuttle service to the stations to improve intermodal connections. The Broward County MPO Long Range (20 year) Transportation Plan recommends that Sheridan Street from U.S. 1 to Dixie Highway should be expanded from four lane to six lanes. However, no funding for right-of-way or construction has been identified, and none is expected to be available (if at all) prior to 2010. Policies 1.20 and 1.21 incorporate the City's LOS standards. 2. Transportation System Management (TSM) TSM means improving roads, intersections, and other related facilities to make the existing transportation system operate more efficiently. TSM techniques include demand management strategies, incident management strategies, and other actions that increase the operating efficiency of the existing system. City cooperates with the In lieu of traditional wideningand construction, the C p Y Broward County MPO and FDOT to identify alternative solutions to eliminate traffic problems. The City also supports requiring new development to construct turn lanes at intersection and driveways during the platting process. Although these improvements do not add through lanes, they do improve the operating conditions on roadways. III - 14 Transportation Element Access management is the control and regulation of spacing and design of driveways, ramps, medians, median openings, traffic signals and intersections on arterial and collector roads to improve safe and efficient traffic flow on the road system. Access management is implemented through the platting and site plan process for new developments. While desirable in most locations, application of access management regulations can adversely impact redevelopment in the CRA, particularly along Dania Beach Boulevard. Computerization of signals on roadways has been recognized as one of the most effective ways to improve traffic flows. Broward County Traffic Engineering is responsible for managing all the traffic signals in the County. Through participation in the TCC and MPO meetings, the City supports all efforts by the County to computerize traffic signals. 3. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) TDM means strategies and techniques that can be used to increase the efficiency of the transportation system. Demand management focuses on ways of influencing the amount and demand for transportation by encouraging alternatives to the single-occupant automobile and by altering peak hour travel demand. These strategies and techniques include: ridesharing programs, flexible work hours, telecommuting, shuttle services, and parking management. The report entitled Proposed Transportation Demand Management Options prepared by the Broward County Transportation Planning Division in cooperation with the FDOT addresses TDM programs. A summary of its findings is addressed below. a. Ridesharing programs. Ridesharing is a form of transportation, other then public transit, in which more than one person shares the use of the vehicle, such as a car or van, to make a trip. Ridesharing requires only moderate densities at the home- end of trips and a common work destination; long commutes are actually conducive to ridesharing since time lost in picking up other passengers is balanced by real cost savings on the commute itself. The ridesharing program Broward County is managed by Gold Coast Commuter Services (GCCS), a FDOT regional commuter assistance program. The GCCS provides computerized rideshare matching service free of charge to area residents and employers. III - 15 Transportation Element Transportation Element Policies 2.6 and 2.7 addresses ridesharing and other TDM strategies as a means of increasing the vehicle occupancy rate. b. Flexible work hours. Broward County still needs to establish more viable TDM programs to modify peak hour travel demand and reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled per capita within the community and region. Flexible working hours' policy needs to be promoted more widely. c. Telecommuting. It is used in many offices, but is still needed to be more widely publicized to encourage greater use. d. Shuttle services. This strategy needs to be implemented not only to the airports but also to daily commuting demands. e. Congestion Management Plan (CMP). Broward County has completed a Congestion Management Plan (CMP). The strategies developed within the Congestion Management Plan give priority to corridors serving the urban infill area. The CMP includes the following: • Establishment of measures and standards to assess mobility patterns and the performance of roadways and transit systems; • Identification of congested corridors and areas; • Identification of short and long range transportation strategies; • Establishment of a monitoring process to assess the effectiveness of the congestion management strategies. 4. The Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) / Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS) The SIS/FIHS is designed for interregional and intrastate functions. Even though most of the traffic on the SIS/FINS today is local traffic making trips less than 25 miles in length, it is still vital for the City, FDOT and Broward County to establish methods of monitoring the impacts on the system and III - 16 Transportation Element strategies to facilitate local traffic to use alternatives to the system to protect its interregional function. a. SIS/FINS impacts monitoring report. The average annual daily traffic and volume to capacity ratios for the two SIS/FINS segments within Dania Beach for 1991 had a volume to capacity ratio of less than 1.0. By 1997, this had changed and the volume to capacity ratios were 1 .69 for 1-95 and 1.27 for 1-595. b. Strategies to relieve traffic from the SIS/FIHS. Transportation Element Policies 1.6 and 1.28 identifies strategies to help relieve SIS/FINS traffic. These strategies are premised on the assumption that improving roads parallel to SIS/FINS roads will make those roads more attractive as a means of travel. These strategies include improving roadway and public transit LOS, double tracking of the South Florida Rail Corridor, implementation of the congestion management plan, and use of transit-oriented design Additional strategies relate to public transit. These include enhancing feeder bus service to Tri-Rail, expanding community/municipal bus service, improving access to transit, and public education. Another strategy addresses implementation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS). ITS is the use of technology, in whatever form, to assist motorists in the safe and efficient use of the transportation system. It includes the computerized traffic signal system, a new ITS control center for Broward County, the recently completed 1-595 Changeable Message Sign System, variable messages signs for the bridge crossings of the intracoastal waterway, cameras for surveillance and vehicle detection, incident management, emergency management, motorist information system via the use of radio on the Florida Turnpike, and transit vehicle locator system, Tri-Rail information system, and so on. 5. Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas ("TCEAs") The purpose of a TCEA is to reduce the adverse impact transportation concurrency may have on urban infill development and redevelopment as well as the achievement of other goals and policies of the state comprehensive plan, such as promoting the development of public transportation and encouraging appropriate infill development and redevelopment to reduce III - 17 Transportation Element reliance on single occupancy passenger vehicles. Under limited circumstances, it allows exceptions to the transportation concurrency requirement in specifically defined urban areas of a jurisdiction. Dania Beach was previously included within the Broward County TCEA. Broward County has adopted Transit Oriented Concurrency and Dania Beach is incorporating that program into the Transportation Element. 6. Transit Oriented Concurrency The City is including the Transit Oriented Concurrency program to replace what previously was the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area to address traffic concurrency issues within the community. Transit Oriented Concurrency is a compact geographic area which includes the entire City and its existing network of roads and other means of transportation. A level of service standard has been established for the district affecting the City of Dania Beach. The program is incorporating a previously adopted program by Broward County and includes the Southeast District and the Port/Airport District as it relates to the City of Dania Beach. E. CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND WITH OTHER PLANS This section addresses Rule 9J-5.019(3)(d), FAC, which requires an analysis of the compatibility/consistency of the future land use and transportation elements; Rule 9J-5.019(3)(g), FAC, which requires an analysis that considers the compatibility/consistency of the Transportation Element with the policies and guidelines of other transportation plans; and Rule 9J-5.019(3)(h) and (1), FAC, which requires an analysis of compatibility/consistency with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. 1. The Future Land Use Element Internal consistency between the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and the Transportation Element is maintained through objectives and policies in both the FLUE and the Transportation Element. The FLUE includes a number of policies regarding transportation issues that are consistent with those in the Transportation Element such as: • The location of land uses in relation to transportation facilities. • Analyzing the impacts of land use amendments on transportation facilities. • Requiring dedication of right-of-way during the development approval process III - 18 Transportation Element The Transportation Element also included policies regarding land use issues that are consistent with those in the FLUE such as; • Impact analysis of transportation improvements on existing/proposed land uses. • Provision of adequate on site parking for all land uses. 2. Broward County Land Use Plan The Broward County Charter established the Broward County Planning Council. The Planning Council is responsible for preparing a countywide land use plan, known as the Broward County Land Use Plan (BCLUP), for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners. The City future land use element and map as well as any amendments must be consistent with the BCLUP. Through certification of future land use elements subsequent to a determination of compliance by the Florida Department of Community Affairs, consistency between future land use elements and the transportation system are assured. The Broward County Planning Council, has exclusive jurisdiction over the Broward County Trafficways Plan, a right-of-way identification map. To accommodate the impacts of new development, right-of-way is required from developing parcels to provide for an adequate regional roadway network. A dedication for at least half of the roadway width that the Trafficways Plan calls for is normally required at the platting stage. No plat of lands lying within Broward County, either in the incorporated or unincorporated areas, may be recorded in the Official Records prior to approval by the County Commission. 3. Long Range Transportation Plan The Long Range Transportation Plan ("LRTP") is the primary source for identifying priority projects for inclusion in the countywide Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and guides the expenditure of federal, state, and local transportation funds. It provides a coordinated planning effort to mitigate traffic congestion, minimize reconstruction of existing facilities, and allow for adjustment of growth management policies and transportation strategies. The LRTP consists of five major sections: Goals, Objectives, and Evaluation Criteria; Financial Resources; Needs Assessment; Cost Feasible Plan; and Public Involvement. The Broward Urban Area Transportation Study Year 2030 Transportation Plan ("TP") represents the currently adopted LRTP. The III - 19 Transportation Element Year 2030 TP's objectives and policies are consistent with the provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), under which 15 specific factors were identified. One of its goals is to provide a balanced multi-modal transportation system with a mixture of roadways and transit services that provides for the local and regional movement of people and goods, which is consistent with the purpose of the TE. The Year 2030 TP as well as the Year 2030 TP served as the basis for some of the data and analysis used in the development of this Element. Further, the Year 2030 TP was reviewed for consistency with this Transportation Element. 4. Year 2030 Cost Feasible Plan ("CFP"). The Year 2030 CFP is a transportation plan that identifies major capacity- enhancing improvements recommended for implementation based on projected fund availability. The CFP serves as the basis for funding of the county's roadway and transit programs, bicycle plan, pedestrian plan, and seaport and airport master plans. 5. Florida Department of Transportation's Adopted Work Program Dania Beach is in the jurisdiction of the FDOT's District 4; therefore, the FDOT District 4's Work Program for Fiscal Year 2007 through 2011 contains Dania Beach's projects. Priorities in the 5-year Adopted Work Program are determined by the MPO and are the direct result of the long range planning process. Projects on a priority list submitted to FDOT for inclusion in the Work Program must appear in the Long Range Plan. The Long Range Plan, in turn, is formulated with the goals and objectives consistent with the Transportation Element and ISTEA's 15 suggested planning factors. The Work Program, once adopted, forms the basis of the new TIP. 6. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) The TIP is a comprehensive listing of transportation projects in Broward County scheduled for funding in the next five years. It represents the cooperative integration of plans by municipalities, the FDOT, the MPO and implementing agencies. Projects are initially identified as part of the Long Range Planning Process. This is a prerequisite for inclusion on an MPO priority list. Priority Lists are then submitted to FDO. Each year in the Annual III - 20 Transportation Element Work Program, FDOT funds these priorities identified by the MPO to the extent possible. The Annual Work Program in turn forms the state and federal component of the TIP. The priority list is then updated to reflect these funding actions and a new list is submitted each year to FDOT. 7. Port Everglades Master Plan The Master Plan provided the data and analysis included herein on Port Everglades as well as the objectives and policies included in the TE. 8. Tri-County Rail Transit Development Plan This Plan provided the data and analysis included herein on Tri-Rail as well as the objectives and policies included in the TE. 9.

A roadway providing service which is relatively continuous and of relatively high traffic volume, long trip length, and high operating speed. In addition, every United States numbered highway is an arterial road (Rule 9J-5 FAC). Principal arterial. A roadway which serves the major centers of activity of urbanized areas, the highest traffic volume corridors. It carries most of the trips entering and leaving the urban area, as well as most of the through movements bypassing the central city. It could be stratified as follows: (1) interstate; (2) other freeways and expressways; and, (3) other principal arterials (A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 1990, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials).

Transportation corridors. Major routes used for moving people and goods by one or more transportation option (Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida, SFRPC, 1995). Transportation Demand Management (TDM). Strategies and techniques that can be used to increase the efficiency of the transportation system. TDM focuses on ways of influencing the amount and demand for transportation by encouraging alternatives to the single-occupant automobile and by altering local peak hour travel demand. These strategies and techniques may, among others, include: ridesharing programs; flexible work hours; telecommuting; shuttle services; and, parking management (Rule 9J-5 FAC). Transportation disadvantaged. Those individuals who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves to or purchase transportation and are, therefore, dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, or other life- sustaining activities (Rule 9J-5 FAC). Transportation System Management (TSM). A range of improvement strategies that are non-facility and low-capital oriented to make the existing transportation system operate more efficiently.

From: Lajoie, Corinne Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 4:22 PM To: Ansbro,Tom Cc: Pato, Ivan Subject: FW: BL See the attached business description. The subject property is zoned TOC-1 which permits 'business & professional schools or colleges". My questions is, would this be considered a business school? I consider business school as court reporting school or paralegal school not card dealer school, but I will defer to your better judgment. I did look in the definition sections, but it made no reference to business school or professional school. We can always hang our hat on the statement that says "any use not specifically listed in the table as a permitted, special exception, or special condition use' is not allowed. Please advise.
