(D) For projects within the city that front a county/state road, a pre -application meeting with Pasco County is required to determine Pasco County traffic study and review process requirements. Traffic study requirements should be sufficient to address both the city eenetiffeney traffic study requirements and the county/state substandard road and access management requirements. (E) All traffic analysis shall be conducted using generally accepted traffic analysis standards and guidelines. Section §7.03.01.01 TURN LANE CRITERIA of the City of Zephyrhills Land Development Code is hereby adopted as set for below: (A) For mitigation measures, the primary concern involves consideration of turn lane criteria at project driveway intersections with the public roadway system and at off-site "hot spot" intersections located within the vicinity (within one (1) mile) of the project site. The turn lane criteria were developed to address situations where the project site driveways are expected to connect directly with either City, County, and/or state (FDOT) roadways as well as previously identified "hot spot" intersections located within one (1) mile of the project site. (B) Turn Lane Criteria on City of Zephyrhills Roadways (Within the City Limits): a. If more than 20 left -turning vehicles per hour on a two-lane arterial or collector roadway, then left -tum lanes are warranted. b. On multi -lane roadways, left -turn lanes shall be constructed when there are more than 20 left -turning vehicles. c. If more than 50 right -turning vehicles per hour on a two-lane arterial or collector roadway, then right -turn lanes are warranted. d. If more than 40 right -turning vehicles per hour on a four -lane rural roadway, then a right -turn lane is warranted. e. If more than 80 right -turning vehicles per hour on a four -lane urban roadway, then a right -turn lane is warranted. f. If more than 60 right -turning vehicles per hour on a six -lane rural roadway, then a right -turn lane is warranted. g. If more than 100 right -turning vehicles per hour on a six -lane urban roadway, then a right -turn lane is warranted. (C) Turn Lane Criteria on Pasco County Roadways (Within the City Limits): a. Pasco County will determine the need for turn lanes pursuant to Section 901.3.0 of the Pasco County, Florida Land Development Code. b. Additionally, subject to approval by the Pasco County Engineer, the City of Zephyrhills may require construction of turn lane(s) as follows: i. Left -turn lanes on arterial and collector roadways regardless of posted speed limit or turning volume. ii. Right -turn lanes on roadways with a posted speed limit of 45 mph or higher, regardless of turning volume. (D) Turn Lane Criteria on FDOT Roadways (Within the City Limits) a. For FDOT roadways within the City of Zephyrhills, the FDOT will determine the need for turn lanes based on their current standards. b. Current FDOT Standards are based on Chapter 6 of the FDOT Multimodal Access Management Guidebook (October 2023) Table 1: Traffic Study Requirements/Guidelines of § 7.03.01 of the City of Zephyrhills Land Development Code is hereby amended as follows: OR BK 10991 PG 1900 Page 4 & 9 ,q7.03.01 Table 1 Traffic Study Requirements/Guidelines Comprehensive Plan Amendments Rezoning Site Plan Approval Guidelines Guidelines Guidelines 1.
