TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT
I. PURPOSE AND FORMAT
The City of Ocoee has developed a transportation management
system to maintain orderly, compact, and desirable growth
through the comprehensive planning process. The Traffic
Circulation Element of Ocoee's Comprehensive Plan is an
element of this overall process. Pursuant to Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes, and Chapter 9J-5 Florida Administrative Code
(FAC) , the goal of the Traffic Circulation Element is to
provide guidance in developing a transportation system which
will adequately serve the travel needs of the area through the
first decade of the twenty first century.
The basis for planning Ocoee's traffic circulation system is
the City's Future Land Use Element. The forecast of future
land uses and locations of developments depicts which existing
roads need improvements and where new roads will be needed.
Also, the Land Use Element governs the feasibility of
providing efficient, effective mass transit services for
general transportation. The goal is to insure that as the
community grows, the transportation system will be expanded to
meet the new travel demands and will remain consistent with
the goals and objectives of the community. Future land use
within the communi will be supported
SR
Ocoee like other communities of Central Florida will have to
cope with increased traffic congestion and the need for access
routes to developments. Coupled with this need for adequate
transportation is the issue of how and who will fund the
construction of these roads. This Element addresses the
questions of what is needed, why, where, when and who will pay
for the transportation system changes that will be occurring.
This element includes: (1) an introduction; (2) an inventory
of the existing traffic circulation system, including the
existing traffic circulation map; (3) an analysis of existing
roadway deficiencies within the traffic circulation system;
(4) an analysis of projected needs (5) schedule for roadway
projects; and (6) a listing of goals, objectives, and
policies.

II. INTRODUCTION
Ocoee, as described in other elements of this Comprehensive
Plan, is a moderately growing community of about 16,000 people
with an annual growth rate of approximately 400 single family
households. The rate of growth is expected to increase with
the completion of two limited-access roadways to the west and
south of the City and Clark Road on the east side of Ocoee.
The two limited-access roadways, the Western Bypa56
and the East West Expressway, playa pivotal role in
where future new roads and road upgradings will be needed
within and about Ocoee. As of August 1991, the City requested
revision of the Orlando Urban Area to add the City of Ocoee.
On September 20, 1992, the City of Ocoee was notified by the
Director of the Orlando Urban Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization the Urban Boundary had been officially revised to
include the City of Ocoee. This change was justified to FDOT
and the FHWA based on population density and growth meeting
the census criteria for urban definition.
The Traffic Circulation Element was developed based on a study
area larger than the current and foreseen corporate limits of
the City and includes the area recently adopted as the Orange
County/City of Ocoee Joint Planning Area (February 1994). This
study area is bound by:
o Roberson and Moore Roads to the southi
o Good Homes and Apopka/Vineland Roads to the easti
o McCormick Road to the northi
o Ocoee-Apopka, East Crown Point and Windermere Roads to
the West. (Figure 1)
There are twotl:1Jfee.> maj or al:: tel. .i.Cll roads that current
of Ocoee: W.B. McGee Highway (SR 50)
and Florida's Turnpike (SR 91). W. B.
s a major arterial running from Florida's west
east coast.
McGee
coast
Florida's
Turnpike is a four-lane limited-access roadway that runs
southeast from Wildwood, to Homestead and accesses Ocoee by an
interchange with SR 50. The City is also served and bisected
by Silver Star Road (SR 438). Silver Star Road functions as
a ll.1. .i.w...:.i.llctl Ul::ball arterial route serving area-to-area
and cross area trave and connects with otllel:: principal
arterials. Blu[u.1.d Avenue (SR 437) Cl6 a llL.i.llO.1. a.1.Lc.1.ial,

III. INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Existing Conditions
As of December 1993, the City's roads were inventoried for
traffic volumes, pavement widths, functional classification,
and number of lanes. The purpose of this task was two fold.
One was to assess current traffic operating conditions. The
other was to develop a computer based data file for developing
a traffic model to emulate existing traffic flow on the City's
streets. This model could then be used to model future
traffic flow given future land uses. This model has been used
to provide necessary data for development of an "improvement-
driven" transportation impact fee system.
B. Functional Classification
Roads have two main functions: (1) land access and, (2)
traffic movement. A road which is oriented towards land
access has lower speeds and less access control. These
characteristics make it less suitable for mobility of through-
way movement. Conversely, a road which is designed for
mobility has higher speeds and more access control, which
makes it less desirable for land access. TIle [ullctiOll
cla55ificatiOll O[ uLaj OJ:: J::oad5 w';" tIlin the: City o.J:: e 5IloWll ';"ll
P';"guLe 2.
The objective of functional classification is to group into
connected systems, those roads and streets having similar
functions, purposes, and importance within the Ocoee
transportation system. In turn, the systems are distinguished
by their general functions and levels of importance in serving
the public.
Functional classification aids in:
a. determining the relative importance of the roads,
b. establishing the basis for levels of service and design
standards,
c. evaluating deficiencies and needs,
d. establishing improvement priorities,
e. selecting responsibility for the roads, and
f. determining funding and financing policies.
The roads within the Study Area were placed in four classes.

VII. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES
The City endorses this list of "Goals and Objectives" to be
used in the development of the plan. The Goals and Objectives
emphasize such key issues as: providing access to and
stimulating the business and employment centers; preserving
the cultural and environmental aspects of the community;
offering mobility to the transportation disadvantaged and
handicapped. The formation of the list insures that the
transportation system developed will be consistent with the
goals and objectives of the community and contribute to its
social and economic well-being.
To achieve all the goals in one system, of course, would be a
"utopian'! or ideal system. Some trade-offs are necessary in
order to have a plan that is acceptable to the various aspects
of the community. The cooperative effort of planning is
emphasized in order to get the most efficient system while
still achieving as many of the goals and objectives as
feasible.
GOAL
PROVIDE A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT IS COORDINATED WITH THE
PATTERN OF LAND USE AND ACTIVITIES TO ACHIEVE SAFE, EFFICIENT
MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND GOODS WITHIN OCOEE. THIS SYSTEM IS TO
INCLUDE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AS WELL AS PUBLIC AND NON-
MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION.
Objective 1
Provide a safe, efficient, economical transportation system.
Policy 1.1
The City shall require roadway designs which provides for
public safety and preserved operating capacity by:
a
b. controlling direct access location from driveways and
local roads through the site plan approval process using

3. Infill
Infill is defined as those properties inside the urbanized portion of the area which
already have public services and infrastructure but have been skipped over in the
development process. Generally, infill sites are limited in size to a few acres or less
and are located in an area where the surrounding development is at least 15-20
years old. The bulk of the property has been vacant or underutilized for at least five
years. This development alternative is advantageous to local governments for a
number of reasons, including, but not limited to a means of reducing infrastructure
investment, improving tax bases, and often restoring the vitality to declining
neighborhoods. For developers, the advantages include being close to commercial
areas and having infrastructure already in place.
The following conditions are important to the successful development of a site: 1)
proximity to employment; transportation; and shopping, cultural, recreational, and
other facilities; 2) evidence of successful small scale individual rehabilitation or
redevelopment projects; 3) innovative solutions to those limitations that have
prevented sites from being developed; and 4) a minimum of problems with crime,
pollution, or services.
Promoting development can be accomplished through the provision of economic
and regulatory incentives. Such incentives may include floor area ratio credits,
streamlining the permitting process for development proposals within these areas,
zoning variances on building setbacks, side yard and parking requirements and
allowing sufficiently higher densities to make investment profitable and affordable
housing possible.
The most important role that the City can play in the process of infill development
is that of providing the necessary and costly initial research. This includes the field
and data survey to determine what land is available and what the development
problems are. The resulting catalog of sites would permit local officials to determine
what alternative development implications would mean to the public and determine
procedures or which of the aforementioned incentives should be utilized to
encourage the maximum private development.
I. Special Stratcgy Overlay Areas
While most of the City of Dcoee will see land use develop not unlike that observed
in the recent past, there are three twe areas, onc that "'v'ill scc phenomenal grO\fJth
and onc that will need special attention to promote growth; these shall be termed
"Special Overlay Stratcgy Areas (SSAs). In realizing the impacts these areas will
have on the City, they will become areas that require special development plans.
These individual specialdevelopmentplans,. namely, InterchangeIDevelopment
Plans, the DowntowniHedevelopment Plan,. andAptivitYi@enteF1Plans,shall be
prepared by the@ityin cooperation\cwith landownersi;havingprop,elttiessituated

Ovel'layAr~las to\C;;oe consistent withc;eaGbr speci~~cde~eJof>m.ent.plam. First,
"Interchange Impact Areas!': fHAs} are areas that will provide access to expressways
that generate high volumes of trips, and convenient access to the Orlando
International Airport, industrial and commerce parks to the south and east, the
Florida Turnpike, the Beeline Expressway, and downtown Orlando. Through these
HAs,lnteJ:'Gh~",~eihl1pactAreas, the City of Ocoee will evolve into a transportation
hub - a regionally significant center. not unlikc the Planning of Developments of
Regional Impact (ORIs). Secondly, the "Downtown Redevelopment Areas" will
also promote interest and concern. These "This areas presents problems with
economic impacts involving redevelopment, retrofitting and gentrification. ffl
addition, future ~ffiird, "eActivity e@enters" have been identified. These mixed and
mt:ilti'=use centers will be at the intersection of Clarke Road and Silver (SR. 438)
,aM at the intersection of the Blackwood Avenue extcnsion and S.R. 50 (the
location of the new West Orange Hospital), the~'interseetion of Gla't'ke Rbadand
State ROa'l:I~5([)~ .the intersection of Good HomesjRoaa~al"l'dStateRoa'd 50'; and the
il"ltersectiol"lcofBlufotd~Avenue and"StateFRoad'50.
1. Interchange Impact Areas fHAst
HAs Iffterchangerlmpaen~~l'eas .include the following locations: (a) the proposed
interchange of the Northwcst Western Beltway and Fuller's Cross Road; (b) the
Nmth'vvest Western Beltway and Silver Star Road (S.R. 438); and, (c) the Northvv'cst
Western Beltway and S.R. 50. and (d) thc proposed intcrchangc of the Florida
Turnpikc and Maguire Road; and (c) thc interchange of B.rt 60 and the V.'estern
Extension of the East 'Nest Express'Nay (Bee Figure 12). The land uses that take
place in these areas could radically affect the City of Ocoee.
In order to cnsurc orderly and efficient gro'/Jth in thcsc areas, the City will r-cejuire
thc developmcnt of Intcrchangc Dcvelopment Plans.
By January 1, 1 GG2, land de'Jelopment regulations shall require any dcvelopmcnts
on greater than 10 acFCS to bc consistcnt with the Inter-changc Development Plans.
Thcse Plans shall be developed by land O'imers and City staff to ensure the
maximum and most feasible use of these areas. In addition, carrying capacities of
these areas shall be determined through the transportation system. For each area,
existing trip generation data shall be developed. The City will set a limit on the
additional trip generations permitted within these areas for the purpose of
concurrency.
42
CPA-97-1-2
At the time this carrying capacity has been met, additional development will not
occur until the carrying capacity has been increased to allow for greater trip
generations. These Plans shall also predict the amount of sanitary sewer and
potable water that will be necessary to serve these areas.
It is consistent with the Future Land Use Map that these areas include a mix of retail,
general commercial, and light industrial. In the development of these areas, only
those plans that provide a sustainable development shall be approved.
Those Plans that promote the locations of regional headquarters, commerce, office
and industrial parks shall be considered first and foremost. Developments that will
not be permitted to occur in mass quantity include, but are not limited to, strip
commercial centers and great trip generators, i.e., corner markets, gas stations, and
fast-food restaurants. To ensure efficient traffic flow, curb cuts shall be restricted
in these areas.

one-quarter mile radius of the interchange area. If any portion of a parcel lies within
the radius of the area, the owners of the parcel shall be incorporated.within rcquiFCd
to participate in the development of the Interchange Development Plan. Those
properties that have approved final development plans as of the adoption of this
plan, shall be exempt from the requirement to coordinate in the formulation of the
Plan; however, they shall be encouraged to provide a development compatible with
the adjacent uses proposed in the HA Interchange;lmpaet',~tea.

2. Downtown Redevelopment Areas (011/\)
The objective ofthe-9RA Downtown RedevelopmentArea is to attract reinvestment
in the downtown area of Ocoee. Through flexible land development regulations and
codes, innovative designs, such as on-street parking, pedestrian ways, and mixed
use scenarios will be promoted. Density allowance, among other incentives may
be offered to developers to attract them to the area.
Downtown redevelopment can benefit the City by increasing the tax base. Benefits
to residents include increased property values, a unique visual and pedestrian
experience, opportunities to live and work within the same community, and
economic viability to those who own property within the area.
Proposed development schemes should include visual landmarks and public areas;
quality pedestrian areas; mixed uses, including retail, general commercial,
restaurants, condominiums, a variety of higher density residential uses and
43
CPA-97-1-2
professional offices and services. Within the BRA [)owntowhi.ReCfeveloprnentArea,
pedestrian travel shall be encouraged by guiding the use and setbacks of buildings,
and street and sidewalk design. Buildings should be close to the street and include
retail and restaurant uses on the first floor. Sidewalks should include benches and
landscaping. The street design should provide for well planned corridors that are
aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian oriented.
One method of underwriting redevelopment is tax increment financing. This method
"freezes" the tax base within the renewal area when the project is officially
established. Additional real property taxes generated as new buildings are
constructed are not added to the general revenue of the City as is normally done,
but are fed back into a special fund for the renewal are to be used for public
improvements and neighborhood purposes that make the area more attractive for
private investment and further renewal. Usually, a number of years or a limit on the
total amount of taxes committed to the renewal area are specified at the beginning
of the project. Initial start-up costs are met by the sale of municipal bonds to be
repaid from the tax increment funds.

3. Activity Centers
Activity Centers are those areas within the impact zone of major intersections. The
Activity Centers identified by the City include:

Activity Centers will be the major nodes of employment within the City and will
include residential and support commercial land uses. In order to create successful
activity centers, policies must be included within this Comprehensive Plan to direct
the Activity Center plans. Mixedandmulti land use and pedestrian as well as transit
travel must be emphasized in the design of these Centers. To achieve this mixed
anq4gl"C"multiuse scenario, w.mJeb.may zoning codcs 'Jiill havc to bc fcstructcd to

that should be considered within the Activity Center plans.
Specifically, these Activity Centers should bc surroundcd by scvcral encourage
residential areas that contain a mix of housing types and densities. Retail, service
and recreational facilities shall also be integrated within these areas. Non-
residential areas shall establish the hub and the focus of the area. Retail and
service establishments, including day care centers, government buildings, and
cultural centers should also be included within the Centers. Activity Centers should
be within walking or bicycling distance to most residents. Sidewalks should be
placed on both sides of the roadways and shall be connected to sidewalks within
residential developments. All parking areas shall be heavily landscaped and
setback allowances sflaH may be given for any parking located behind buildings.

Standards shall be based on the measurement of the undesirable characteristics
at the property line of the land on which the generating use or activity is located and
shall be based on performance levels deemed to prevent nuisance to surrounding
properties.
The City shall mitigate impacts by using regulations related to landscaping,
setbacks, wall/fences, on-site parking, on-site traffic flow, lighting, signs, pedestrian
access, vehicular access and other factors which will mitigate off-site impacts and
enhance the health, safety, welfare and appearance of the built environment while
providing an effective buffer between uses. Development regulations will be
updated by 1992.
The City shall allow mixed uses in the Special Stratcgy€>.vel7layAreas (S8A's)
which include the tfle Interchange Impact Areas, the Downtown Red~~lo(1)ment

attractive appearance and to offset negative impacts, sprawling development
patterns, and the proliferation of strip commercial development.
The City shall require that industrial parks develop with internal traffic circulation and
buffering from adjacent roads and properties.
The City shall control strip commercial development through access limitations by
restricting commercial land uses to the intersections of arterial and non-residential
collector roads, along designated arterial and collector roads and t37 within Planned
Unit Developments. This shall be accomplished through the land development
regulations.
The land development regulations shall promote innovative development in those
cases where a public benefit can be realized and impacts can be offset by the
development, as follows:
*
Utilize Planned Unit Development Zoning to allow for mixed uses and
unconventional development designs in those cases where the developer
can demonstrate improved living environments, protection of natural
resources or increased effectiveness of service delivery.

Justification:
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is not a land use amendment and does not
require the submittal of supporting data and analysis. If approved, this amendment would
formalize a previously designated Activity Center at the intersection of Blackwood and State Road
50. In the adopted Comprehensive Plan, this intersection is identified as a future Activity Center
on page 42 of the Future Land Use Element. Land in the proximity of this intersection has started
to develop recently and it is recommended that the Future Land Use Map be amended to show
this Activity Center so that potential developers may be advised of its Activity Center designation.
