Subject: Colonial Drive/SR50 Access Management Plan
Land Development Code Amendment
Ordinance 2004-23
Issue:
Should the Mayor&City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2004-23 approving an amendment to the Land
Development Code changing Figure 3 in the "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study'for
SR 50 in order to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court,
and provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center?
Background Summary:
The "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study'was adopted by the City with Ordinance 98-
11 incorporating the Access Management Plan for State Road 50/Colonial Drive into the City Code of
Ordinances. Currently, Figure 3 shows a full access intersection with left turn lanes at Consumer Court and
SR 50. This non-signalized intersection connects an unnamed roadway to the south between Discount Auto
Parts and Dunkin Donuts with a new entrance to the Towne Square Shopping Center(the old Walmart site)
on the north. This new shopping center entrance is between Goodyear and Arby's, continuing north, turning
east along Arby's property line entering the shopping center from the west. (See the attached Figure 3:
"Florida's Turnpike to Maguire Rd.")
Recommendations
Based on the analysis above and the recommendation of the Planning &Zoning Commission,Staff
recommends that the Mayor and the City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2004-23 approving an
amendment to the Land Development Code changing Figure 3 of the "Access Management and Intersection
Operations Study"for SR 50 to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to
Economic Court,and to provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center.

RE: Colonial Drive/SR50 Access Management Plan
Land Development Code Amendment
Ordinance 2004-23
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor& City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2004-23 approving an amendment to the Land
Development Code changing Figure 3 in the "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study'for SR
50 in order to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court,and
provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center?
BACKGROUND:
The "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study"was adopted by the City with Ordinance 98-11
incorporating the Access Management Plan for State Road 50/Colonial Drive into the City Code of Ordinances.
Currently, Figure 3 shows a full access intersection with left turn lanes at Consumer Court and SR 50. This
non-signalized intersection connects an unnamed roadway to the south between Discount Auto Parts and
Dunkin Donuts with a new entrance to the Towne Square Shopping Center(the old Walmart site)on the north.
This new shopping center entrance is between Goodyear and Arby's, continuing north, turning east along
Arby's property line entering the shopping center from the west. (See the attached Figure 3: "Florida's
Turnpike to Maguire Rd.")
DISCUSSION:
The developer of the site located south of Discount Auto Parts and Dunkin Donuts has requested that the
access roadway, which connects Professional Parkway and SR 50, be moved to their western property line.
The relocation of this full access intersection to Economic Court and the associated changes to Consumer
Court were inconsistent with the City's adopted SR 50 Access Management Plan, and, as such, were opposed
by Staff.
On August 26,2004, Staff met with the representatives of the development site, Jim Bartoe, the Towne Square
Shopping Center representative, and Fred Ferrell, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)-District 5
Traffic Operations Manager.
During this meeting, Fred Ferrell indicated the FDOT had already directed their SR 50 design consultants for
the widening of SR 50 to move the intersection from Consumer Court to Economic Court contrary to the
Access Management Plan adopted by the City. Mr. Ferrell stated that FDOT reserved the right to change
access management plans on state roadways even if these changes were not consistent with the plans of local
governments.
Fred Ferrell also indicated the following changes on SR 50 between Maguire Road and Marshall Farms Road.
(See the attached Figure 3-A: "Florida's Turnpike to Maguire Rd.")
• The old intersection site at Consumer Court would now have a right-in from SR 50 (turning south)and a
right-out on to SR 50 (turning east);
• The new intersection site at Economic Court/SR 50 would be signalized with a westbound left turn lane
from SR 50 (turning south); and
• The new entrance to Towne Square Shopping Center(between Arby's and McDonalds)would have a
directional eastbound left turn lane (turning north)into the shopping center.
• Both the new intersection (Economic Court) and the new shopping center entrance (between Arby's
and McDonalds)would require parallel left turn lanes to accommodate the necessary turn lane capacity
to function properly.
These improvements would be completed with the SR 50 widening project in 5 to 6 years.
The representatives of the development site and the Towne Square Shopping Center were in agreement with
the FDOT decision. The City Attorney suggested the attorney for the developer prepare a request for an
amendment to the SR 50 Access Management Plan. This request was presented to the Mayor&City
Commissioners on September 7, 2004 who directed Staff to prepare this amendment request and the
associated ordinance.
Since FDOT has already exercised its right to alter the access plans on the roadway by instructing the design
consultants to make the changes stated above, the City has no choice but to adopt the FDOT-mandated
changes. It should be noted that the movement of the full intersection from Consumer to Economic Court will
impact wetlands and the 100-year floodplain in this area.
PLANNING&ZONING COMMISSION:
On October 12, 2004, the Planning &Zoning Commission met to consider this LDC amendment. After the
Staff presentation, the Commission opened the public hearing. Scott Glass,the attorney representing the
developer for the parcel south of Discount Auto Parts and Dunkin Donuts, gave a presentation in favor of the
proposed LDC amendment. There were no other speakers at the public hearing.
Scott Glass indicated that, after meetings with the City, these access management changes were made for the
improvement of traffic flow and for safety considerations. In addition, the City would also receive a two-lane
loop road connecting Professional Parkway and SR 50 allowing traffic to by-pass the overburdened SR 50 &
Maguire Road intersection. This loop road would be dedicated and constructed by the developer at no cost to
the City. The movement of the loop road west to Economic Court would impact a very small portion of a
wetland. This wetland would be mitigated based on permits from the City and the St. John's River Water
Management District.
The P&Z Commissioners questioned the lack of a westbound left turn lane into Consumer Court for the West
Colonial Medical Plaza, Discount Auto Parts, and Dunkin Donuts. Mr. Glass indicated an additional access
would be provided from the loop road to the southern end of Consumer Court for the provision of additional
access when his client developed the site to the south.
Mr. Wagner indicated that the main reason for the opposition to the movement to Economic Court was the lack
of eastbound left turn into the Town Square Shopping Center and the concern over the operation of the left
turn lanes needed for Economic and Consumer Court. After the Town Square representative indicated the
directional left between McDonald and Arby's met the needs of the shopping center, and Fred Ferrell indicated
that parallel left turns would be built rather than back-to-back left turn lanes, Staff no longer opposed these
access management changes.
After the public hearing and the general discussion, the Planning &Zoning Commission, acting as the Local
Planning Agency, unanimously recommend the Mayor and the City Commissioners adopt the Land
Development Code amendment changing Figure 3 of the "Access Management and Intersection Operations
Study"for SR 50 to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court,
and to provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis above and the recommendation of the Planning &Zoning Commission, Staff
recommends that the Mayor and the City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2004-23 approving an amendment
to the Land Development Code changing Figure 3 of the "Access Management and Intersection Operations
Study"for SR 50 to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court,
and to provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center.
