RE: July 7, 2010 LPA/P&Z Board Meeting
This packet includes proposed EAR based amendments for the Intergovernmental and
Housing elements of our comprehensive plan. The EAR or Evaluation and Appraisal
Report is a periodic evaluation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The EAR assesses
the attainment of the goals and objectives of the comp plan and identifies possible
revisions to the plan that reflect the current vision for the City's future and to recognize
changes to the Florida Statutes and implementing regulations.
Our EAR was adopted in November of 2007 and found sufficient by DCA in March of
2008. The EAR identified proposed amendments to the comp plan. Some of the
proposed amendments were based on a review of the attainment and effectiveness of
the goals, objectives, and policies in the plan. Other proposed amendments were the
result of public input, direction from the 2007 Redevelopment Plan and 2009 Visioning
Report, or Legislative changes. The proposed amendments have been summarized for
each element in outline and matrix form in Section 7.0 of the EAR. I have enclosed the
summary of proposed amendments for each element with action taken shown in red
and blue. I have also included the comp plan element with proposed revisions in red or
blue strikethrough and underline.
We will address the remaining elements at the regularly scheduled meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Board on Wednesday July 14, 2010.

projected needs for schools in coordination with public school
boards and may establish differing criteria for schools of different
type or size. Each local government shall include lands contiguous
to existing school sites, to the maximum extent possible, within the
land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use.
The failure by a local government to comply with these school siting
requirements will result in the prohibition of the local government's
ability to amend the local comprehensive plan, except for plan
amendments described in s. 163.3187(1)(b), until the school siting
requirements are met. Amendments proposed by a local government
for purposes of identifying the land use categories in which public
schools are an allowable use are exempt from the limitation on the
frequency of plan amendments contained in s. 163.3187. The future
land use element shall include criteria that encourage the location of
schools proximate to urban residential areas to the extent possible
and shall require that the local government seek to collocate public
facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers, with
schools to the extent possible and to encourage the use of
elementary schools as focal points for neighborhoods. For schools
serving predominantly rural counties, defined as a county with a
population of 100,000 or fewer, an agricultural land use category
shall be eligible for the location of public school facilities if the
local comprehensive plan contains school siting criteria and the
location is consistent with such criteria. Local governments required
to update or amend their comprehensive plan to include criteria and

Transportation Element
1) Review of Existing GOPs
■ All the Objectives should be measurable or have a measurable target.
■ Update GOPs as necessary to reflect 5 and 10 year planning timeframes.
■ Consider adding policies in Objective T-1 to coordinate with Brevard County on a trail
and blue -way system.
■ Consider adding policies in Objective T-3 to coordinate with the City of Cocoa Beach on
development impacting the traffic circulation system.
■ Consider adding a policy to promote a bike path throughout the City.
■ Update the Future Transportation Map consistent with the 5 year Work Program and
2025 FDOT plan. In current TIP (Transportation improvement Program). no roadway
improvements are programmed witMn the next five years for the City. In the Count,
Long Range Transportation Flan (LRTP) only Major intersection improvements and
traffic operations improvements are planned for SP AIA.
2) Public Input/Major Issues
■ Consider adding language to policy T-1.8 to promote transit system and greater
connectivity with the Central Florida region.
3) Redevelopment Plan — Objective 2.2 Traffic Circulation
Consider adding policies to T-2 in the Transportation Element to:
■ Provide for safe, appealing and efficient citywide routes for pedestrian and bike
path systems linking to major activity centers, parking facilities and residential
areas.
■ Encourage the City to provide strategically placed bicycle racks.

deficiency of the roadway. Further, no impact will be de minimis if
it would exceed the adopted level -of -service standard of any
affected designated hurricane evacuation routes. Each local
government shall maintain sufficient records to ensure that the 110 -
percent criterion is not exceeded. Each local government shall
submit annually, with its updated capital improvements element, a
summary of the de minimis records. If the state land planning
agency determines that the 110 -percent criterion has been exceeded,
the state land planning agency shall notify the local government of
the exceedance and that no further de minimis exceptions for the
applicable roadway may be granted until such time as the volume is
reduced below the 110 percent. The local government shall provide
proof of this reduction to the state land planning agency before
issuing further de minimis exceptions.)

City of Cape Canaveral Comprehensive Plan Section 4 - 2
Adopted - January 5, 1999 f\ 98802 \ adopted \ gops \ transportation
The City of Cape Canaveral, through cooperation with area wide transportation
agencies, shall continue to develop and coordinate a comprehensive transportation
system that: serves the needs of all segments of its population; is in support of the Land
Use and other elements of the Comprehensive Plan; provides adequate and safe access
to adjacent land uses; promotes sound development policies; is an efficient and effective
use of public resources; and promotes the efficient utilization of energy resources.
Objective T-1
In conjunction with area wide agencies, Brevard County and the State of Florida, the
City of Cape Canaveral shall provide for a safe, convenient and efficient motorized and
non -motorized transportation system. The measurement of this Objective is the safety,
convenience and efficiency of the City's transportation network and the degree to which
the following Policies are implemented.
Policy T-1.1
The City shall continue with development of a program to provide for the regular
maintenance and improvement of local streets so as to maximize safe travel for vehicles
and pedestrians and reduce loss of life and property by reducing accidents.
Policy T-1.2
The City shall work with the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Florida
Department of Transportation in developing and utilizing level -of -service standards at
peak hour on all roadways within the City's jurisdiction. The City hereby adopts level -
of -service standard "E" for all roadways in the municipality as the minimum acceptable
operating level -of -service (with a desirable level -of -service "C").
ate= ®f=a n gel ° � S b
The City commits to maintain that s ° T -level -of -service
standard and to not permit any further significant degradation of that condition: (the
cut-off point for indicating significant degradation will be a volume to capacity ratio
(V/C ratio) --to be interpreted as a maximum acceptable volume ratio (MAV ratio) --of
1.10: at the point that the City determines that the V/C ratio (MAV ratio) exceeds 1.10, it
will trigger a procedure in accordance with the City's concurrency management system
to defer, modify or deny development orders or permits which impact the roadway
segment in question. In addition, once a substandard roadway is improved to a level -
of -service "E" or better, the newly achieved level -of -service will become the new
"maintain -and -not -further -degrade" standard. After a substandard roadway has been
improved to a level -of -service better than "E", the Comprehensive Plan shall be
amended to adopt that improved level -of -service as the standard for said roadway.

Policy T-1.3
The City shall implement its policy of requiring all new developments within the City to
prepare a circulation plan that illustrates adequate access to the City circulation system;
provides for the adequate design of local street systems; and coordinates with the
existing street patterns of the area.
Policy T-1.4
The City shall require dedication or reservation of future rights-of-way for major
components of the overall transportation network when development takes place in a
previously undeveloped area and when such future rights-of-way traverse or abut the
property to be developed. Furthermore, with respect to S.R: A1A, the City shall take
steps to protect and preserve right-of-way to comply with the Maximum Through Lane
Standards by using such strategies as building setback requirements,
donation/ dedication of right-of-way by developers, advance right-of-way acquisition,
or enactment of a right-of-way protection ordinance.
Policy T -1.5
The City shall implement its policy of consideration of bicycle and pedestrian ways in
the planning of transportation facilities.
Policy T-1.6
At any time that a roadway within the City degrades to a substandard level -of -service
condition, the City shall commit to maintain and not permit further significant
degradation of operating conditions on said roadway, and it shall also adopt a strategy
and timetable to enhance the operating conditions of said roadway.
Policy T-1.7
The City shall control access of driveways and roads to SR-A1A; techniques such as the
following will be considered: limiting the issuance of access and connection permits to
the minimum necessary to provide safe access; using shared access points; using
frontage roads; or locating access points to parcels with frontage along two or more
roadways on the roadway of lower functional classification.
Policy T-1.8
The City shall support forms of transportation which are alternatives to individualized
vehicle use, such as: pedestrian facilities, bicycle ways, car-pooling, mass transit, etc.
Policy T -1.9
The City shall work with the FDOT in the protection and management of S.R.-AlA.
