Title

Referral on the Number of Travel Lanes (NB)

The City Commission referred the issue of the number of travel lanes to the Community Development Committee.  The Community Development Committee has discussed the item and recommends it be removed from the referral list.

Explanation

On January 10, 2005, the City Commission removed Legislative Item 040261 from the Public Works Committee referral list, and authorized a petition to amend the City's Transportation Mobility Element.  On September 25, 2006 this item was referred to the Community Development Committee.

This referral was based on the need to amend the Comprehensive Plan for the then contemplated University of Florida/Shands plan for narrowing Archer Road (between Southwest 16th Avenue and Southwest 13th Street).  Staff has planned to include this in the twice-yearly land use amendments, but based on the November 11, 2005 decision of the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization to leave Archer Road in front of Shands as a four-lane facility, it no longer is necessary to put forward this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.  If an amendment were made, the paired road language, related to Archer Road and Southwest 16^th Avenue, would not have current applicability.   

Fiscal Note

None

Recommendation

Community Development Committee to the City Commission: Remove this item from the referral list.
