Title
Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) Review (NB)
The City Commission referred this issue to the Community Development Committee, which has discussed the issue a number of times and recommends that it be removed from the referral list.
Explanation
The City Commission referred to the Community Development Committee the issue of review of the City's Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). The Committee heard reports from staff and discussed policy issues associated with the TCEA a number of times. Staff and the Committee reviewed the intents of the TCEA, including encouraging multi-modal development, and encouraging development closest to the community's center where most jobs and trip destinations are located, and where automobile trips are likely to be shortest. Staff and the Committee also reviewed the TCEA's standards and requirements, which generally become more expensive to developers as development moves outward from Zone A to Zone B and C.
Fiscal Note
None
Recommendation
Community Development Committee to the City Commission - remove this item from the referral list, and staff to continue to monitor Alachua County's impact fees in relation to the City's TCEA standards.
