1. Presentation to TCC and CAC September 16, 2014 1

2.  TIA Guidelines – Origin and Background  TIA Update Status  VCARD/FCARD TIA Discussion  Next Steps 2

3.  R2CTPO  Planning and programming of federal and state transportation funds for transportation projects within the TPO metropolitan area (Volusia and parts of Flagler) 3

4.  TIA Guideline  Adopted by TPO Board – Nov. 2009  Resolutions adopted by all cities  Uniform methodology and process for assessing transportation impacts county-wide  Tied to project approval process 4

5.  What is in place Some Content Items  Methodology  Definition of impacted roads/intersections  Analysis scenarios  Trip generation  Internal/Passer-by capture  Traffic counts  Assumptions  Level of service standards  Mitigation 5

6.  What is in place Some Checklist Items  Submittal requirements  Project schedule  Existing traffic data  Proposed development trips  Projected roadway segment analysis  Future traffic volumes  Site access/circulation  Assessment methodology  Concurrency mitigation 6

7.  Benefits of TIA Guidelines ◦ Consistent process ◦ Standardized data ◦ Value added ◦ Predictability for development community ◦ Promotion of intergovernmental/ interagency coordination 7

8.  Why update needed  Changes to TPO boundaries  Changes in laws/legislation  Changes in economy  Development activity now increasing 8

9.  Scope of Services  Phase 1: Interviews, V/FCARD Meeting, and Presentations to TCC and TPO Board  Phase 2: Partnering efforts to update the TIA Methodology 9

10. 1) Beverly Beach 2) Bunnell 3) Daytona Beach 4) Daytona Beach Shores 5) DeBary 6) DeLand 7) Deltona 8) Edgewater 9) Flagler Beach 10) Flagler County 11) Holly Hill 12) Lake Helen 13) New Smyrna Beach 14) Oak Hill 15) Orange City 16) Ormond Beach 17) Palm Coast 18) Pierson 19) Ponce Inlet 20) Port Orange 21) South Daytona 22) Volusia County Local governments interviewed 10

11.  Volusia Interview Questions (Flagler questions slightly varied) 1)Still applying concurrency? 2)Are you relying on TIA guidelines? 3)Any transportation concurrency exception area? 4)Is proportionate share being used? 5)Any other comments/concerns? 11

12.  Common Themes from Interviews Concurrency 20 out of 22 still doing it Few concurrency issues Proportionate Share 2 of 22 indicated possible need Economic development slowdown Proportionate share has not been needed TIA Reviews Most Volusia governments still rely on TIA Guidelines Most of Flagler governments have guidelines or Land Development Code Limited use of guidelines TCEAs Few adopted exception areas (5 out of 22) 12

13. 13 Challenges Too Roadway Focused Limited Coordination Inconsistent Implementation Format/Flow Opportunities Greater sensitivity to multiple modes Preferential treatment for multimodal transportation improvements Broadened coordination Transit agencies School board City-County coordination Consistency in when analysis is required Comprehensive planning stage Rezoning stage Site plan application stage Greater clarity in methodology and assumptions used

14. Reasonable & Consistent Strategies Protect Abilities to Pay for Improvements Group Exercise 1) What are your top challenges? 2) For each challenge, what are some potential solutions or opportunities for improvements? 3) Dot solution preferences 4) Discussion/Wrap Up 14

15. 15 Top 5 ChallengesSolutions 1.Final guidelines need to be clearer a)Expand to include CPAs and re-zonings (in clear steps) b)Provide examples in appendices for each type of analysis 2. Impact of background traffic (background methodology), specifically: Backlogged traffic Growth rates Vested trips vs. growth rates (validity of vested trips) a)Further discussion on methodology details is required with VCARD/FCARD and TPO

16. 16 Top 5 ChallengesSolutions 3a. When or at what stage in the development process should TIAs be required? 3b. Should traffic study criteria be different based on the development stage a)“TIA-like” process – a tiered process with clear steps for each type of analysis b)Need advanced/due diligence by applicant and government staff at zoning and comprehensive plan amendment stage c)Provide training/education on required process

17. 17 Top 5 ChallengesSolutions 4. Challenges to transit resulting from significant increases in new development and/or expansion of existing development a)Quantifying transit is challenge and issue b)Keep in mind that TIA requirements are for capital costs of developments. Still need to “pay” for operational costs of transit for both existing and new development c)Further discussion on methodology details is required with VCARD/FCARD and TPO

18. 18 Top 5 ChallengesSolutions 5.Permitting process (tracking) Lack of predictability Developers typically evaluating multiple sites => Provide predictability/speed in determining costs/time Developers must be willing to provide greater specificity earlier on Further discussion on methodology details is required with VCARD/FCARD and TPO

19. 19 Additional Challenges Discussed Flagler County differences (study area, political will, etc.) Limited staffing – resulting in greater reliance on County staff to do analysis and reviews Mobility pay-and-go concept with sensitivity to local government characteristics Constant rotation of local government staff resulting in loss of institutional knowledge and vested interested in outcomes Confusion on when Volusia County should get involved in review process

20.  Remaining Steps in Phase 1  Summarize input received  Presentations to TCC and TPO Board  Workshop with all governmental agencies  Phase 2: Partnering to update TIA Guidelines/Methodology  Consider current, relevant legislation as update progresses 20
