STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 13, 1999
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
ay
FROM: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 99-23: Land Development Code Amendment to Add Upgraded
Development Regulations.for Professional Office, Service, Commercial, and
Industrial Areas (LDC-99-001)
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance No. 99-23 to enact new
development regulations for professional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas?
BACKGROUND:
Based upon your previous direction, Staff has revised the site development standards utilized
within the State Road 50 Activity Center Special.Development Plan as the basis for regulations
that may be applied City-wide to all professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
areas. The adopted State Road 50 Activity Center Special Development Plan currently contains
Private Area Special Regulations and Public Area Special Regulations as well as an
Introduction, Statement of Intent, Boundary Map, and Concept Plan. If adopted, the proposed
Land Development Code Amendment would:
(1.) create new City-wide Private Property Regulations (see Exhibit"1");
(2.) ' create new City-wide Public Property Regulations (see Exhibit"1");
(3.) eliminate the Private Area Special Regulations within the State Road 50 Activity
Center Special Development Plan to reduce conflicts (see Section 4 of
Ordinance Number 99-23 attached);
(4.) eliminate the Public Area Special Regulations within the adopted State Road 50 .
Activity Center Special Development Plan to reduce conflicts (see Section 4 of
Ordinance Number 99-23 attached); and
(5.) delete all references to the Private and Public Area Special Regulations (see
Exhibits "2" and "3").

DISCUSSION:
Rather than writing entirely new regulations, this Amendment was created by starting with the
State Road 50 Activity Center Special Development Plan's Private and Public Area Special
Regulations and revising them to be more .generic. This includes deletion of all specific
references to the State Road 50 Activity Center Special Development Plan; correction of
typographical and scrivener's errors;_clarification of intent by rewording certain provisions; and
the addition of some regulations that were inadvertently left out of the original standards. To
better illustrate the revisions,- Staff has attached an "Underline and Strikeout Version" which
shows all proposed all proposed additions in underline and deletions in s eeut text format.
This technique allows a comparison between the .adopted Ocoee State Road 50 Special
Development Plan and this proposed Amendment.
(1.) the introduction was revised to be more generic and to specify that the
proposed regulations would apply to all professional office, service, retail,
commercial, and industrial areas;
(2.) all specific references. to the State Road 50 Activity Centers were
eliminated on pages 1-3;
(3.) the Statement of Intent was revised to address City-wide goals and
objectives;
(4.) the Boundary Map was eliminated since the proposed regulations would
be applied City-wide;
(5.) the State Road 50 Concept Plan was eliminated including the planning
principles, key criteria, basic design theme, and map;
(6.) the State Road 50 Elevation and Plans were eliminated since the
proposed regulations would be applied City-wide;
(7.) the Private Area Special Regulations were renamed to Private Property
Regulations and all specific references to the Activity Centers and State
Road 50 were eliminated to make the regulations more generic;
(8.) the appropriate building setbacks from roadways were clearly listed;
(9.) the provisions for outparcels within planned developments were clarified;
(10.) the list of primary and secondary roadways was broadened to include all
appropriate roads within the Ocoee area;
(11.) the requirements for landscaping within parking areas were simplified;
(12.) the size of large scale projects as defined within the new regulations was
raised to 25,000 square feet to make it consistent with other provisions of
the Land Development Code;
(13.) the coordinating agency for bus and transit issues was changed from the
county to LYNX;

areas if there is no other alternative and it is:substantially screened with a

(26.) the site furnishings provisions were simplified to address pedestrian
amenities;
(27.) the requirement to maintain a seven foot canopy where trees overhang
sidewalks was eliminated;
(28.) bus transit cutouts would now only be provided if requested by LYNX
along primary roadways since LYNX has indicated that they may not use
them even if they are installed;
(29.) any natural features, parks, and open spaces would now only be required
if there is an adopted special overlay area plan; and

envision the properties that they visit most often, i.e., professional office, service, commercial.,
and industrial areas along major thoroughfares. As such, the major thoroughfares and adjacent
properties deserve special attention from the City and landowners/developers. In the

1- Statement-of-Intent
Special Overlay Areas identified within the Comprehensive Plan,the City recognizes unique
opportunities and constraints that must be addressed to promote a logical development
approach for high intensity uses, such as professional office, service, commercial, and
industrial uses. Accordingly, standards to upgrade development within professional office,
service, commercial, and industrial areas are needed to ensure quality development
throughout the community.
"Professional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas" and "professional office.,
service,commercial, and industrial projects" shall mean and refer to all lands located within
the following zoning districts: P-S, Professional Offices and Services District; C-1,
Neighborhood Shopping District; C-2, Community Commercial District; C-3, General
Commercial District; I-1, Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing_District; I-2, General
3
Industrial District; and professional office, service, commercial, and industrial uses within
PUD zoning districts. This Section shall apply to all of the above referenced zoning
districts; provided, however, that in the event more specific or more stringent standards are
adopted by the City Commission in a PUD Land Use Plan or Special Overlay Area, the
more specific or more stringent standards shall control. This Section is intended to
supplement the other design standards specified in the Ocoee Land Development Code as
applied to all professional office,service, commercial, and industrial projects.
B. Statement of Intent.
The City of Ocoee' recognizes the potential for urban sprawl, strip commercial
- development,and visual clutter along the-ceFFiderits thoroughfares. The City intends to
avoid this outcome because it is inefficient and creates unappealing urban design.
Instead, the City intends to ensure distinctive, quality, integrated development in this
se er,within all professional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas within
the community'including all Special Overlay Areas. The City envisions an appealing
urban environment that invites-people.to congregate, encourages multiple modes of
transportation, allows innovative designs, promotes mixed- or.. multiple-use
developments, and provides .for..the efficient delivery of City services. In order to
achieve-this outcome, the following- goals are established to guide Activity Center
.develepmextvrofessional office, service, commercial, and industrial development:
1. Ensure.distinctive, quality,:integrated development in the—sen4der,professional
office, service, commercial, and industrial areas.
a. Create a unique and attractive atmosphere that invites people to congregate.
b. Set strict building design criteria to ensure unique and visually appealing
buildings.
c. Establish a safe enjoyable environment for pedestrians,motorists, and cyclists.
d. Create a visually coherent development pattern that relates to the human scale.
e. Coordinate access points and pedestrian connections between individual
projects.
f. Create useable open spaces in and adjacent to new developments.
2. Mitigate the impacts of development by setting strict site design criteria.
a. Set strict site design criteria to ensure that separate projects, buildings, and
signs are integrated to create a master-planned appearance.
b. Require a logical pattern of pedestrian access,traffic flow, and parking lots.
4
c. Integrate on-site circulation, traffic signals, access points, shared access, and
cross access among adjoining projects.
d. Establish a consistent pattern of setbacks and place buildings and their
entrances in close proximity to roads.
e. Provide visible..connections.:between roads, parking, sidewalks, and adjacent
projects so that pedestrians and motorists:can negotiate a path quickly and
safely.
f. Provide a logical, consistent, and attractive pattern of lighting, sigriage, and
landscaping that relates to the human-scale.
g. Minimize the removal of mature trees and integrate them into site development
plans.
h. Integrate open space in all developments to create a cohesive coordinated
network of green areas,pedestrian amenities; and landscaping.
3. Emphasize mixed= and-multiple-use projects that encourage synergy between a
'variety of land uses.
a. .Encourage the combination of compatible uses within one building or project.
b. Create innovative buffers between incompatible uses and developments.
c. Emphasize the role of Activity Centers a:,ncourage the creation of employment
centers.
d. Establish a coordinated pattern of uses and buildings that inter-relate.
e. Encourage a mixture of housing types and densities within and along the edges
of Activity Centeranrofessional office, service, commercial, and industrial
areas.
f. Encourage the integration of Retail, service, institutional; and recreational
facilities within the hub of professional office, service, commercial, and
industrial nodes.
Centers.
4. Promote flexibility, design innovation, and unique development in those cases
where a coordinated pattern of development further enhances the goals and key
criteria established for professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
developments.
a. Protect areas of environmental concern and scenic value.
b. Allow for the clustering of development and increased floor area ratios.
c. Use PUD's and Activity Center Overlay Area mechanismaS pecial Overlay
Development Plans to allow for mixed- and multi-uses.
5
d. Foster a cooperative development process which encourages and rewards
innovative and unique projects where a public benefit will be realized and
adverse impacts will be offset.
e. Integrate individual projects to attain specific Activity Center goals such as
shared infrastructure, .architectural compatibility, historic preservation,
pedestrian access, bikeways, lake access, natural area preservation, and scenic
vistas.

V. Pri-y to Area SpecialC. Private Property Regulations
The following private .area-sgecialpropertv regulations are intended to help create an
aesthetically-pleasing, safe, unique, and sustainable development pattern that enhances the
experience of pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists within Activity Centers. All
uneleflyingprofessional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas. All other
regulations of the Ocoee .Land 'Development Code shall apply except where the
Commercial and Industrial Development Activity .Center Special Development Plan
impesesRegulations impose a greater or more stringent requirement. Not-withstanding any
provision in the Land 'Development Code to the contrary, the Director of Planning shall
interpret all issues related to potential conflicts between these SpesialCommercial_and
Industrial Development Regulations and the Ocoee Land Development Code after
consultation with the City Staff, as appropriate, whose administrative interpretations may
be appealed to the Development:Review Committee. In the event a person disagrees with
an interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning, then they.may request a
meeting of the Development Review Committee which will be held within 7 working days
from the date of receipt of a written request. All such appeals shall be filed with the
Director of Planning. The Development Review Committee may overrule or modify the
interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning.
The Ocoee City Commission, at its sole discretion, may waive provisions,within the Ocoee
Land Development Code, Ocoee City Code, and
PlaCommercial and Industrial Regulations within any project if it is: (1) part of an
integrated and master planned development; (2) compatible with surrounding
developments; (3)'imposes no impacts on City infrastructure greater than that generated by
other uses normally permitted in the underlying zoning district; and/or (4)-provides an off-
setting public benefit which is technically sound and:.measurable ; however, projects
Regiens7
The Ocoee Comprehensive Plan already contains enabling language providing incentives
to encourage mixed- and multiple-use projects and high quality integrated development
patterns. These landowner/developer incentives may be negotiated to exseedmodify
individual standard requirements of the Land Development Code and City Code provided
that a balanced development scenario is afforded. The development scenario will benefit
both the landowner/developer and the City and result from an agreed upon development
pattern. Although mixed- and multiple uses are encouraged, it is not the intent of this
Section to modify the predominant underlying land use or zoning patterns, but rather to
encourage appropriate mixtures of uses that do not increase the overall impact of
development to surrounding properties or the community in general.

1. .71. Site Design Standards
The site plan requirements set forth below shall apply to all professional office, service
commercial, and industrial development projects and are intended to encourage high
quality development and.to :discourage typical sprawl development patterns. Projects
must also be consistent with the Ocoee State Road 50 Activity Center Concept Plan.
This plan forms the comprehensive
Special Development Plan and is to be utilized in combination with the Special
any Special Overlay Area
Plans where applicable. If.a. landowner/ developer determines that anethef—mere
innovative development pattern will alseachieve the City's statement of intent and goals,
then:the City anticipates that a landowner/ developer viillmay seek waivers from
particular standards in those cases where a coordinated pattern of development further
enhances the statement of intent, goals, and key criteria established in this—Speeese
Commercial and Industrial Development PlafiRegulations or within any Special Overlay
Area Plans and that the other standards set forth in the
Ocoee Land Development Code are met. -

D4. Building Design Standards
Buildings are an essential component of urban design that will be visually integrated to
ensure quality developments.that encourageing people to interact, relate to_the human-
scale, and create useable open spaces. Buildings shall be oriented to pedestrians and
cyclists, as well a., as well as to motorists. Orientation shall be measured in terms of
unobstructed visual and physical linkages between the main entrance of a building and:
(1)public sidewalks; (2) -parking spaces; (3) nearby open spaces and plazas; and
(4) entrances to adjacent existing uses.
Although it is not the City of Ocoee's intent to dictate the overall architectural design of
private buildings, certain minimum architectural guidelines have been set to promote
quality development that . enhances the Activity Center atmosphere. community.
Specifically, individual building-designs shall not: (1) negatively impact a natural area;
(2) prevent access.to a natural area; or (3) totally block a vista to.a natural area. Other
building regulations shall be as set forth in the underlying zoning district unless otherwise
specified below. Not withstanding any provision in the Land Development Code to the
contrary, all interpretations regarding buildings located within Activity
Centeranrofessional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas shall be made by the
Director of Planning or his .:designee whose .administrative. interpretations may be
appealed to the Development Review Committee. In the event a person disagrees with an
interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning, then they may request a
meeting of the Development Review Committee which will be held within 7 working
days from the date of receipt of a written request All such appeals'shall be filed with the
Director of Planning. The Development Review Committee may overrule or modify the
interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning.
Below, is a list of acceptable building elements based upon certain design parameters that
enhance the visual appeal and human-scale of buildings. In general; building designs will
be consistent with these requirements. At the same time, the purpose of the Activity
Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations is
to encourage high quality development while simultaneously allowing innovative design
concepts. If a landowner/developer determines that another more innovative building
design will also achieve the City's statement of intent and goals, then the City anticipates
that a landowner/developer willmav seek waivers to particular standards in those cases
where a coordinated pattern of development further enhances the statement of intent,
goals, and key criteria established in these Commercial
and Industrial Development Regulations or Special Overlay Area Plans.

Exhibit"1"
§6-14 Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations
A. Introduction.
The commercial and industrial areas of Ocoee create the"visible community character." When people think of a community,
they envision the properties that they visit most often,i.eyprofessional office,service,commercial,and industrial areas along
major thoroughfares.As such, the major thoroughfares and adjacent properties deserve special attention from the City and
landowners/developers. In addition to Special Overlay Areas identified within the Comprehensive Plan, the City recognizes
unique opportunities and constraints that must be addressed to promote a logical development approach for high intensity
uses,such as professional office,service,commercial, and industrial uses. Accordingly,standards to upgrade development
within professional office,service,commercial,and industrial areas are needed to ensure quality development throughout the
community.
"Professional office, service, commercial, and industrial areas" and "professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
projects"shall mean and refer to all lands located within the following zoning districts:P-S, Professional Offices and Services
District C 1 Neighborhood Shopping District C-2 Community Commercial District. C-3, General Commercial District: I-1.
Restricted Manufacturing and Warehousing District; 1-2, General Industrial District: and professional office, service,
commercial, and industrial uses within PUD zoning districts. This Section shall apply to all of the above referenced zoning
districts:provided.however,that in the event more specific or more stringent standards are adopted by the City Commission
in a PUD Land Use Plan or Special Overlay Area,the more specific or more stringent standards shall control. This Section is
intended to supplement the other design standards specified in the Ocoee Land Development Code as applied to all
professional office,service,commercial,and industrial projects.
B. Statement of Intent.
The City of Ocoee recognizes the potential for urban sprawl, strip commercial development, and visual Butter along its
thoroughfares. The City intends to avoid this outcome because it is inefficient and creates unappealing urban.design.
Instead, the City intends to ensure distinctive, quality, integrated development within all professional office, service,
commercial, and industrial areas within the community including all Special Overlay Areas. The City envisions an appealing
urban environment that invites people to congregate, encourages multiple modes of transportation, allows innovative
designs, promotes mixed-or multiple-use developments, and provides for the efficient delivery of City services. In order to
achieve this outcome, the following goals are established to guide professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
development:
1. Ensure distinctive,quality,integrated development in professional office,service,commercial,and industrial areas.
a. Create a unique and attractive atmosphere that invites people to congregate.
b. Set strict building design criteria to ensure unique and visually appealing buildings.
c. Establish a safe enjoyable environment for pedestrians.motorists,and cyclists.
d. Create a visually coherent development pattern that relates to the human scale.

Ocoee's basic design approach is to integrate uses and buildings,create places for people,and eliminate typical segregated
car oriented projects. Together, these concepts can be applied toprofessional office,service, commercial, and industrial
areas to help realize a different type of development that acknowledges a sense of communitypride.The combined impact of
a coordinated development scenario, critical road connections, secondary connections, pedestrian/ bicycle facilities,
recreational trails, and gateway intersections will improve the quality of life within the City. The Commercial and Industrial
Development Regulations seek to link the diversity of uses,natural features,and neighborhoods into the overall development
pattern with professional office,service,commercial,and industrial areas to create a unique sense-of-place.
The pages that follow include the Private Property Regulations and the Public Property Regulations. Together,these two sets
of regulations are designed to implement the statement of intent and design approach for professional office, service,
commercial,and industrial areas. Where inconsistencies or questions arise regarding the implementation of the Commercial
and Industrial Development Regulations or other Land Development Code requirements, the text above and particularly the
statement of intent shall provide direction for the Director of Planning in making a determination and resolving the
inconsistency whose administrative interpretations may be appealed to the Development Review Committee. In the event a
rson disc rees with an inte retation or decision made b the Director of Plannin then the mar uest a meetin of the
Development Review Committee which will be held within 7 working days from the date of receipt of a written request. All
such appeals shall be filed with the Director of Planning. The Development Review Committee may overrule or modify the
interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning.
•
C. Private Property Regulations
The following private property regulations are intended to help create an aesthetically-pleasing,safe,unique,and sustainable
development pattern that enhances the experience of pedestrians, motorists, and cyclists within professional office,service,
commercial, and industrial areas. All other regulations of the Ocoee Land Development Code shall apply except where the
Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations impose a greater or more stringent requirement. Notwithstanding any
rovision in the Land Develo ment Code to the contra the Director of Plannin shall inte ret all issues related to otential
conflicts between these Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations and the Ocoee Land Development Code after
consultation with the City Staff, as appropriate,whose administrative interpretations may be appealed to the Development
Review Committee. In the event a person disagrees with an interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning,then
they may request a meeting of the Development Review Committee which will be held within 7 working days from the date of
receipt of a written request. All such appeals shall be filed with the Director of Planning. The Development Review
Committee may overrule or modify the interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning.
The Ocoee City Commission,at its sole discretion,may waive provisions within the Ocoee Land Development Code,Ocoee
City Code,and Commercial and Industrial Regulations within any project if it is: (1)part of an integrated and master planned
development:(2)compatible with surrounding developments: 3)imposes no impacts on City infrastructure greater than that
generated by other uses normally permitted in the underlying zoning district:and/or(4)_provides an off-settingpublic benefit
which is technically sound and measurable.
The Ocoee Comprehensive Plan contains enabling language providing incentives to encourage mixed- and multiple-use
projects and hi h uali int rated develo ment attems. These landowner/develo er incentives ma ben otiated to
modify individual standard requirements of the Land Development Code and City Code provided that a balanced
development scenario is afforded. The development scenario will benefit both the landowner/developer and the City and
result from an agreed upon development pattern. Although mixed-and multiple uses are encouraged, it is not the intent of
this Section to modify the predominant underlying land use or zoning.pattems, but rather to encourage appropriate mixtures
of uses that do not increase the overall impact of development to surroundingproperties or the community in general.
18174.3
1. Site Design Standards
The site plan requirements set forth below shall apply to all professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
development projects and are intended to encourage high quality development and to discourage typical sprawl
development patterns. Projects must also be consistent with any Special Overlay Area Plans where applicable. If a
landowner/developer determines that an innovative development pattern will achieve the City s statement of intent and
goals,then the City anticipates that a landowner/developer may seek waivers from particular standards in those cases
where a coordinated pattern of development further enhances the statement of intent, goals, and key criteria
established in these Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations or within any Special Overlay Area Plans
and that the other standards set forth in the Ocoee Land Development Code are met.
a. Building Orientation-Buildings shall be located and arranged in order
to define a pedestrian-scaled character along building street fronts and
pedestrian spaces. .
(i) Buildings shall be setback from public and private street rights- .i

4. Building Design Standards
Buildings are an essential component of urban design that will be visually integrated to ensure quality developments
encouraging people to interact,relate to the human-scale,and create useable open spaces.Buildings shall be oriented
to pedestrians and cyclists as well as to motorists. Orientation shall be measured in terms of unobstructed visual and
physical linkages between the main entrance of a building and: (1)public sidewalks; (2) parking spaces; (3) nearby
open spaces and plazas;and(4)entrances to adjacent existing uses.
Although it is not the City of Ocoee's intent to dictate the overall architectural design of private buildings, certain
minimum architectural guidelines have been set to promote quality development that enhances the community.
Specifically, individual building designs shall not: (1) negatively impact a natural area; (2) prevent access to a natural
area; or(3) totally block a vista to a natural area. Other building regulations shall be as set forth in the underlying
zoning district unless otherwise specified below. Not withstanding any provision in the Land Development Code to the
contrary, all interpretations regarding buildings located within professional office,service, commercial, and industrial
areas shall be made by the Director of Planning or his designee whose administrative interpretations may be appealed
_ to the Development Review Committee. In the event a person disagrees with an interpretation or decision made by the
Director of Planning,then they may request a meeting of the Development Review Committee which will be held with in
7 working days from the date of receipt of a written request.All such appeals shall be filed with the Director of Planning.
The Development Review Committee may overrule or modify the interpretation or decision made by the Director of
Planning.
Below,is a list of acceptable building elements based upon certain design parameters that enhance the visual appeal
and human-scale of buildings. In general, building designs will be consistent with these requirements. At the same
time,the purpose of the Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations is to encourage high quality development
while simultaneously allowing innovative design concepts. If a landowner/developer determines that another more
innovative building design will also achieve the City's statement of intent and goals, then the City anticipates that a
landowner/developer may seek waivers to particular standards in those cases where a coordinated pattem of
development further enhances the statement of intent, goals, and key criteria established in these Commercial and
Industrial Development Regulations or Special Overlay Area Plans.
a. Architectural Cohesiveness - Architectural style will be coordinated to
create a visual cohesiveness that integrates individual projects, buildings,
and signs within professional office, service, commercial, and industrial
areas.
(i) Buildings, principal structures, accessory structures_ awnings,
canopies,and signs shall have a consistent and cohesive style.

EXHIBIT "3"
C.Basic Design Theme:
Although the five foregoing basic principles are reflected in this Concept Plan, Ocoee must
also identify its own basic design theme: Ocoee's basic design theme is to integrate uses
and buildings, create a place for people, and eliminate typical detached car-centered
projects. Together, these concepts can be applied to the corridor and help us visualize a
different type of development that acknowledges our sense of community pride.Following,
there is a "Concept Plan" that spatially integrates all of the key criteria on one page. The
Concept Plan illustrates the combined impact of a coordinated development scenario,
critical road connections, secondary connections,pedestrian/bicycle facilities,recreational
trails, and gateway intersections. The Concept Plan seeks to link the diversity of uses,
natural features, and neighborhoods into comprehensive Activity Center that creates a
unique sense-of-place through connections and linkages that integrate multiple modes of
access through and within the corridor.

designed to implement the statement of intent, goals, planning principles, and key criteria
outlined in this Concept Plan. The map on the following page is an attempt to visually
integrate all of the concepts on one page. However, where inconsistencies or questions
arise regarding the implementation of the 5peeizd Regulations and/or Concept Plan,the text
above and particularly the statement of intent and goals shall provide direction for the
Director of Planning in making a determination and resolving the inconsistency whose
administrative interpretations may be appealed to the Development Review Committee.In
the event a person disagrees with an interpretation or decision made by the Director of
Planning, then they may request a meeting of the Development Review Committee which
will be held with 7 working days from the date of receipt of a written request. All such
appeals shall be filed with the Director of Planning. The'Development Review Committee
may overrule or modify the interpretation or decision made by the Director of Planning.
Included with the Concept Plan are drawings of State Road 50 as an State Road rban section
5 through
and gutters) and as a rural section. (open drainage swales). Today,
'the City of Ocoee is designed as a rural section which would not be appropriate once the
Activity Center is developed. Accordingly, the City intends to pursue the conversion of.
State Road 50 to an urban section with the Florida Department of 50r and has Transportation
sc (FDOT).
a
The FDOT is responsible for any improvements to State Road
Planning Design and Engineering Study for.the year 2001 in the MetroPlan Transportation
Improvements Program. There are two sets of plan/elevation drawings of State Road 50.
One set of drawings shows.State Road 50 as an urban section and the other depicts it as a
rural section. In this way, the City can visualize the impact of the proposed Special
Regulations on both types of roadway designs since State Road 50 may remain a rural
section if FDOT disagrees with the City.
