BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA

PCM130108 Fred George and Old Bainbridge
The Canopy Road protection zone is the only known environmentally sensitive feature in the
subject area.
2. Water/Sewer:
According to the City of Tallahassee, adequate sanitary sewer and water exist at the site; and
adequate capacity is available to serve the existing building and future development.
3. Transportation:
Roadways: The site is presently developed and it is not anticipated that the proposed FLUM
change and rezoning will result in additional impacts to the roadway network. If the site
were to attempt redevelop in the future to a more intense use, it would be subject to
transportation concurrency regulations. The major segments of roadways that could be
affected by future redevelopment are Fred George Road, a major collector, and Old
Bainbridge Road, a minor arterial and a Canopy Road.
Through the existing Significant Benefit program and the potential development of a
Mobility Fee System, the requisite planning will continue to occur to address transportation
needs into the future including identification of roadway and other multi-modal projects.
Nothing in the proposed amendment would exempt it from being assessed by the local
government under either approach.
Transit Availability: StarMetro’s Forest bus route runs along this portion of Fred George
Road every 20 minutes during weekdays and Saturdays.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities Availability: No sidewalks exist along Fred George Road,
except on the north side of the roadway, between Old Bainbridge Road and Stewart Way.
There are no sidewalks presently along Old Bainbridge Road, but sidewalks are programed
for inclusion south of Fred George Road in the Leon County Sales Tax program priorities.
There are presently no bicycle lanes along Fred George Road or Old Bainbridge Road.
4. Schools:
The site is zoned for Springwood Elementary, Griffin Middle School, and Godby High
School. Since the site is already developed commercially, it is not anticipated that the site
would have an impact on school capacity. In the unlikely event that the site redevelops as a
residential project in the future, as a one acre site with a maximum density of 20 units an
acre; the redevelopment would have a minimal impact on school capacity. Finally, school
concurrency calculations will be conducted in the future if a residential subdivision or site
plan for subject site is submitted.
5-Year Capital Improvements Projects:
None.
