TEXT/POLICY I.D. #:<br />

Policy 13.1.4 [L]<br />

CITY X <strong>COUNTY</strong> X_<br />

DATE: January 9, 2013<br />

PCT130113 Thornton Road<br />

PRELIMINARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Amendment Request PCT130113<br />

with an effective date tied to approval of the Thornton Road Land Exchange by the State of Florida.<br />

A. SUMMARY:<br />

The proposed text amendment to the Welaunee Critical Area Plan changes the allowed roadway<br />

access from Arendell Way to Thornton Road, implementing City Commission direction provided on<br />

October 24, 2012 and County Commission direction provided on November 13, 2012. For the past<br />

several years, there has been a community discussion regarding the most appropriate location and<br />

process for a roadway crossing of the Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway to provide access from<br />

Highway 90 (Mahan) and Miccosukee Road to the City owned portion of the Welaunee Toe.<br />

A Memorandum of Agreement approved by the City on October 24, 2012 and the County on<br />

November 13, 2012, establishes a roadway crossing aligned with Thornton Road as the selected<br />

option. Staff will move forward with the State of Florida application process to seek a land<br />

exchange that will allow for the extension of Thornton Road. The proposed amendment will make<br />

the Comprehensive Plan consistent with this direction.<br />

B. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL:<br />

1. The requested amendment updates the Comprehensive Plan to reflect an important community<br />

decision regarding roadway location that was achieved through an open public process.<br />
