RAH/Ormond Crossings First Amended Development Agreement-First Security Project5/22/2017 11:22 AM
FIRST AMENDED
ORMOND CROSSINGS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS First Amended Development Agreement (this “Amended
Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ____ day of
__________, 2017 by and between Tomoka Holdings, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company, having an address at 393 Palm Coast
Parkway SW, Suite #1 Palm Coast, Florida 32137 ("Developer") and
the City of Ormond Beach, a Florida municipal corporation,
having an address at P.O. Box 277, Ormond Beach, FL 32175-0277
(the "City").
RECITALS
A. In December 2002, the Developer acquired a tract of
land that includes 2,924 acres that are located in Volusia
County, Florida on which Developer plans to develop a mixed-use
project known as Ormond Crossings ("Ormond Crossings" or the
"project"). Ormond Crossings is bisected by I-95 and bordered
to the east by a Florida East Coast rail line. The legal
description of Ormond Crossings is attached as Exhibit "A"
hereto.
2
B. On July 20, 2004, Ormond Crossings, along with
adjacent land that is also owned by the Developer, was annexed
into the City (the "Annexation").
C. Following the Annexation, the City prepared
comprehensive plan amendments whereby the land that was the
subject of the Annexation would be designated Activity Center on
the City's Future Land Use Map (the "Activity Center Comp Plan
Amendments").
D. In October 2004, the Activity Center Comp Plan
Amendments were submitted to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs ("DCA") for review and in September 2005, the Activity
Center Comp Plan Amendments were adopted by the City Commission
and transmitted to the DCA. In November 2005, DCA issued a
Notice of Intent to Find in Non-Compliance. An administrative
proceeding between the City and DCA followed in December 2005
(State of Florida, Department of Community Affairs vs City of
Ormond Beach, Florida, DCA Docket No. 05-1-NoI-6411-(A)-(N);
DOAH Case No. 05-4365GM). In August 2006, the City and DCA
agreed on the framework to settle the administrative proceeding
which required the City to adopt certain remedial amendments to
the Activity Center Comp Plan Amendments to address DCA's issues
3
regarding the proposed Activity Center Comp Plan Amendments (the
"Remedial Amendments").
E. The City is authorized by the Florida Local Government
Development Agreement Act, Sections 163.3220 - 163.3243, Florida
Statutes (the "Act") to enter into, and to amend, development
agreements that satisfy the requirements of the Act.
F. The Act is supplemental and additional to the powers
conferred upon local governments by other laws and shall not be
regarded as in derogation of any powers now existing.
G. The Act recognizes that the lack of certainty in the
approval of development can result in a waste of economic and
land resources, discourage sound capital improvement planning
and financing, escalate the cost of housing and development, and
discourage commitment to comprehensive planning.
H. The Act also recognizes that providing assurance to a
developer that upon receipt of a development permit, the
developer may proceed in accordance with existing laws and
policies, subject to the conditions of a development agreement,
strengthens the public planning process, encourages sound
capital improvement planning and financing, assists in assuring
4
there are adequate capital facilities for the development,
encourages private participation and comprehensive planning, and
reduces the economic cost of development.
I. Consistent with the legislative intent, as expressed
in the Act, the City Commission desired to enter into a
development agreement regarding the development of Ormond
Crossings to encourage a stronger commitment to comprehensive
and capital facilities planning, ensure the provision of
adequate public facilities for development, encourage the
efficient use of resources and reduce economic cost of
development.
J. Pursuant to Section 163.3225, Florida Statutes, the
City Commission conducted two public hearings that were convened
on February 2, 2010 and February 16, 2010 and afforded the
public and all affected parties an opportunity to be heard and
present evidence regarding the development agreement.
K. After the public hearings and in consideration of
recommendations made and submitted prior to and during the
public hearings, the City Commission made certain findings and
determinations, and approved and entered a development agreement
dated February 19, 2010 which has been recorded at Book 6449,
5
Pages 2154 – 2222 of the public records of Volusia County,
Florida (the “Agreement (2010)”), as more specifically set forth
therein.
L. Tract 18 consists of approximately 48.4 acres within
Ormond Crossings and is legally described and depicted in
Exhibit “A-1” to this Amended Agreement. The Developer and
Security First Insurance Company (“Security First”) entered into
an Agreement of Purchase and Sale on or about March 16, 2017,
and entered a First Addendum thereto on or about March 16, 2017
(“Sales Agreement”) for the sale and development of Tract 18.
The Sales Agreement provides to Security First a right to
develop up to 275,000 square feet of office space, which shall
be deemed part of the total density and intensity of development
for Ormond Crossings that is allowed under Part II, Section 2 of
this Amended Agreement. Security First intends initially to
develop and construct approximately 100,000 square feet of
office space (the “Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project”). The Sales Agreement requires $750,000.00 in funds to
be held in escrow and to be used for the payment of
infrastructure improvements for Security First’s development and
construction of the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project. The Developer believes the escrowed funds are
sufficient to fully and completely pay for the infrastructure
6
improvements, and further represents that the Sales Agreement
obligates Security First to pay for infrastructure improvement
costs that exceed the escrowed funds. The relief provided to
Developer in Part III, Sections 1(b), 2(a)(vi), 2(a)(vii), and
2(d) of this Amended Agreement apply to and are conditioned upon
the development and construction (to be evidenced by the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy and/or certificate of
completion) of the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project.
M. Pursuant to Section 163.3225, Florida Statutes, the
City Commission conducted two public hearings that were convened
on June 6, 2017 and July 25, 2017 and afforded the public and
all affected parties an opportunity to be heard and present
evidence regarding this Amended Agreement.
N. After the public hearings and in consideration of
recommendations made and submitted prior to and during the
public hearings, the City Commission has made certain findings
and determinations regarding this Amended Agreement as more
specifically set forth hereinafter.
O. Whenever an action or approval of the City is referred
to herein, except for actions relating to the City Commission,
7
the action or approval shall be taken by the City Manager, or
designee.
P. Whenever an action, right or eligibility of the
Developer is referred to herein, the action may be taken by, or
the right or eligibility may belong to a community development
district ("CDD") that the Developer plans to establish for all
or a portion of Ormond Crossings but the Developer shall have
primary responsibility for all actions that are the obligation
of the Developer.
Q. All covenants and conditions set forth herein are
agreed to by the Developer and represent covenants which touch
and concern Ormond Crossings and run with the land and are
thereby binding upon the transferees, successors and assigns of
the Developer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter stated and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledge, the parties hereto agree as follows:
8

Section 380.05, Florida Statutes.
3. Ormond Crossings is consistent with the State's
Comprehensive Plan and Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code.

7. The two public hearings to consider this Amended
Agreement were properly noticed and held by the City Commission
pursuant to Section 163.3225, Florida Statutes.
8. The Developer's authorized agent is William I.
Livingston whose principal place of business is Tomoka Holdings,
LLC, 393 Palm Coast Parkway SW, Suite #1 Palm Coast, Florida
32137; telephone number (386) 931-9146; email
9. The development of Ormond Crossings pursuant to the
Agreement (2010) was, and pursuant to this Amended Agreement is,
determined to be consistent with the achievement of the
objectives of the adopted State Comprehensive Plan, as codified
at Chapter 187, Florida Statutes, and will not unreasonably
interfere with the achievement of those objectives.
PART II
General Conditions
10
1. Master Plan. Ormond Crossings shall be developed in
accordance with the Ormond Crossings' Master Plan which is
attached as Exhibit "B" hereto (the "Master Plan").
2. Permitted Development Uses. Ormond Crossings shall
consist of a mixture of uses. In order to ensure that Ormond
Crossings provides the necessary economic diversity, there shall
be a minimum of 1,000 acres of land (inclusive of rights-of-way,
wetlands and stormwater facilities) to be developed for a
"Business Park" that will have a mixture of industrial,
warehousing, distribution, office and limited retail coordinated
in the Business Park/Town Center with residential uses in order
to minimize net external trips outside the boundary of Ormond
Crossings. The following table identifies the mixture of land
uses that would be appropriate at Ormond Crossings:
Land Use Gross Bldg./Units/Students/Acreage
Retail/Comm. 200,000/SF
Office 900,000/SF
Business/Flex-space 350,000/SF (light industrial)
Industrial 800,000/SF (does not include Business/Flex space)
Storage 240,000/SF
Warehouse/Distribution 560,000/SF
Public/Institutional 165,000/SF
11
Elementary School 720 students
Residential 2,950 units
Stormwater and Lakes 400 acres
Open Space 450 acres
The list of uses identified in the above table reflects a
reasonable mixture of uses. However, the amount of a particular
non-residential land use within Ormond Crossings may increase or
decrease, provided: (i) aggregate potable water, wastewater and
reclaimed water demands of Ormond Crossings shall not exceed the
totals that are set forth in the utility analysis that is
attached as Exhibit "C" hereto; (ii) the density within the
Business Park shall not exceed 1.0 FAR on any individual
building site or an average .35 FAR throughout the entire
Business Park; and (iii) building height shall not exceed 75'.
Increasing the number of residential units and retail commercial
uses is strictly prohibited.
Any change of land use must address changes to the potable
water usage and identify if the potable water capacity
allocation under the applicable consumptive use permit is
available. Also, if, in the opinion of the City's Planning
Director, the change could increase total offsite traffic
impacts from the project (4,551 External Peak Hour Trips), the
Planning Director may require the Developer to provide a traffic
12
analysis, and if the traffic analysis reveals an increase in
traffic impacts as a result of the proposed change, as a
condition of the change of land use, the Developer shall be
required to mitigate those additional impacts by increasing the
mitigation that is provided for in Section 2 of PART III of this
Amended Agreement to the satisfaction of the City's Planning
Director.
3. Planned Mixed Use Development Zoning. Subsequent to
the approval of the Agreement (2010), the Developer submitted,
and the City Commission approved, an application to rezone
Ormond Crossings to a Planned Mixed Use Development ("PMUD").
4. Protection Against Change of Local Laws and Policies.
The City's laws and policies governing the development of land
at the time of the execution of this Amended Agreement shall
govern the development of Ormond Crossings for the duration of
this agreement. The City may apply subsequently adopted laws
and policies to Ormond Crossings in accordance with section
163.3233, Florida Statutes only if the City has held a public
hearing and determined:
(a) They are not in conflict with the laws and
policies governing this Amended Agreement and do not prevent
13
development of the land uses, intensities or densities provided
for in this agreement;
(b) They are essential to the public health, safety,
or welfare, and expressly state that they shall apply to a
development that is subject to this Amended Agreement;
(c) They are specifically anticipated and provided
for in this Amended Agreement;
(d) The City demonstrates that substantial changes
have occurred in pertinent conditions existing at the time of
approval of this Amended Agreement; or
(e) This Amended Agreement is based on substantially
inaccurate information supplied by the Developer.
This provision does not abrogate any rights that may
vest pursuant to common law.
5. Level of Service Standards. Ormond Crossings shall be
required to meet all level of service standards in the City's
Comprehensive Plan and all requirements of the City's
concurrency management system. However, the Developer may
14
satisfy the transportation concurrency requirements by meeting
the transportation conditions contained in Section 2 of Part III
of this Amended Agreement.
6. Periodic Review. The City shall review the progress of
Ormond Crossings once every 12 months to determine if there has
been demonstrated good-faith compliance with the terms of this
Amended Agreement. Beginning 12 months after the effective date
of this agreement and continuing annually thereafter, the
Developer shall provide the City with a written and accurate
status report which shall include all information necessary for
the City to conduct its 12 month review ("Annual Report"). Each
Annual Report shall include, but not necessarily be limited to,
a description of the development activities during the preceding
year and a representation that Developer is in compliance with
the terms and conditions of this agreement.
For each review conducted during years 6 through 10 of
this Amended Agreement, the review shall be incorporated into a
written report which shall be submitted to the parties to this
Agreement and the state land planning agency (DCA).
If the City finds, on the basis of substantial
competent evidence, that there has been a failure to comply with
15
the terms of this Amended Agreement, this agreement may be
revoked or modified by the City.
7. Monitoring Official. The City Manager, or designee,
shall be responsible for monitoring Ormond Crossings for
compliance by Developer with this Amended Agreement.
8. Duration. This Amended Agreement shall terminate
twenty (20) years from its effective date. This agreement may be
extended by mutual consent of the City and the Developer,
subject to a public hearing in accordance with Section 163.3225,
Florida Statutes.
9. Recording and Notice of Agreement. Within 14 days
after the City enters into this Amended Agreement, the City
shall record this agreement with the Clerk of the Circuit Court
in Volusia County. Any subsequent owner/developer or assignee
from Developer shall be subject to the provisions contained in
this agreement. Any contract or agreement for sale by Developer
of all or any portion of Ormond Crossings shall contain a legend
substantially in the following form fully printed or stamped
thereon:
16
THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED HEREIN IS PART OF ORMOND
CROSSINGS AND IS SUBJECT TO THE ORMOND CROSSINGS
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH IS RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC
RECORDS OF VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA, WHICH IMPOSES
CONDITIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS UPON THE USE
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WHICH ARE
BINDING UPON EACH SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGN OF TOMOKA
HOLDINGS, LLC. A COPY OF THE ORMOND CROSSINGS
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MAY BE REVIEWED AT THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT, CITY OF ORMOND BEACH.
10. Effective Date. This Amended Agreement shall, in
accordance with section 163.3239, Florida Statutes, be recorded
within fourteen (14) days of the date it is fully executed and
it shall be effective upon recordation in the public records of
Volusia County, Florida.
17
11. Other General Conditions.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Amended Agreement to the contrary, the City shall have no
financial responsibility to contribute to or participate in the
funding, design, engineering, permitting and/or construction of
improvements to state roads, county roads, or roads constructed
or to be constructed within Ormond Crossings.
(b) Development of Ormond Crossings shall comply with
all applicable, federal, state and local laws, codes,
ordinances, rules and regulations which are hereby incorporated
herein by this reference. Failure of this Amended Agreement to
address a particular permit, condition, term or restriction
shall not relieve Developer of the necessity of complying with
the law governing the permitting requirements, conditions, term
or restriction. Local development permits (City or Volusia
County) approved or needed to be approved for development of
Ormond Crossings consist of the following: site plan approvals,
subdivision approvals, right-of-way utilization permits,
construction permits, gopher tortoise permits, wetland
alteration permits and building permits.
18
(c) The Developer acknowledges that the requirements
and conditions of this Amended Agreement result from the impacts
of Ormond Crossings on public facilities and systems, are
reasonably attributable to the development of the project, are
based upon comparable requirements and commitments that the City
or other agencies of government would reasonably expect to
require a developer to expend or provide, and are consistent
with sound and generally accepted land use planning and
development practices and principles.
(d) This Amended Agreement and all the promises,
commitments, obligations, covenants, liabilities and
responsibilities of the Developer touch and concern Ormond
Crossings and shall continue to run with, follow and burden the
land at Ormond Crossings. To this end, the promises,
commitments, obligations, covenants, liabilities and
responsibilities of the Developer shall inure to the benefit of
the City and shall operate as a perpetual burden and servitude
upon the land at Ormond Crossings unless released by the City by
means of an appropriate recordable instrument approved and
executed by the City. Promises, commitments, obligations,
covenants, liabilities and responsibilities of the Developer
shall be binding upon the Developer and the Developer's heirs,
transferees, assigns and successors in interest, specifically
19
including, but not by way of limitation, building permit
applicants and any person or entity developing any part of
Ormond Crossings, and shall inure to the benefit of the City and
its assigns and successors in interest as to all parts and each
part of Ormond Crossings. The Developer shall pay any and all
costs of recording instruments in the Public Records of Volusia
County.
(e) If state and federal laws are enacted after the
execution of this Amended Agreement which are applicable to and
preclude the parties' compliance with this agreement, this
agreement shall be modified or revoked as is necessary to comply
with the relevant state or federal laws.
(f) Tract 18 consists of approximately 48.4 acres
within Ormond Crossings and is legally described and depicted in
Exhibit “A-1” to this Amended Agreement. The Developer and
Security First Insurance Company (“Security First”) entered an
Agreement of Purchase and Sale on or about March 16, 2017, and
entered a First Addendum thereto on or about March 16, 2017
(“Sales Agreement”) for the sale and development of Tract 18.
The Sales Agreement provides to Security First a right to
develop up to 275,000 square feet of office space, which shall
be deemed part of the total density and intensity of development
20
for Ormond Crossings that is allowed under Part II, Section 2 of
this Amended Agreement. Security First intends initially to
develop and construct approximately 100,000 square feet of
office space (the “Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project”). The Sales Agreement requires $750,000.00 in funds to
be held in escrow and to be used for the payment of
infrastructure improvements for Security First’s development and
construction of the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project. The Developer believes the escrowed funds are
sufficient to fully and completely pay for the infrastructure
improvements, and further represents that the Sales Agreement
obligates Security First to pay for infrastructure improvement
costs that exceed the escrowed funds. The relief provided to
Developer in Part III, Sections 1(b), 2(a)(vi), 2(a)(vii), and
2(d) of this Amended Agreement apply to and are conditioned upon
the development and construction (to be evidenced by the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy and/or certificate of
completion) of the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18
Project.
In addition to the foregoing general conditions,
the following specific conditions are included in this Amended
Agreement.
21
PART III
Specific Conditions
1. Utility Facilities.
(a) The Developer shall be responsible for the necessary
extensions, upgrades and improvements to the City's utilities,
as described in the utility analysis that is attached as Exhibit
"C" hereto. All water and sewer lines and related facilities
that are installed or constructed at Ormond Crossings
(collectively the "Utility Facilities") shall be donated to the
City, without charge, upon the City's request. In the event the
Utility Facilities are donated or title thereto is otherwise
transferred to the CDD, as planned by the Developer, the
provisions hereof shall run with the title and the CDD shall be
obligated to donate the Utility Facilities to the City, without
charge, upon the City's request.
Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the
contrary, the City and the entity with jurisdiction over
utilities shall have no financial responsibility to contribute
to or participate in funding of the design, engineering,
permitting, construction or installation of the Utility
Facilities, except for cost-sharing provisions currently or
22
hereafter contained in the City's Code of Ordinances and Land
Development Code, or as approved by the City Commission.
The Developer may provide for phasing of the Utility
Facilities in the PMUD.
(b) The Developer shall be relieved of its obligation to
pay for, and to provide, the Utility Facilities described in
Part III, paragraph 1(a) above, to and for the development of
the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18 Project provided
that such Utility Facilities are fully constructed by and at the
expense of Security First.
23
2. Transportation.
(a) The Developer shall mitigate offsite
transportation impacts for Ormond Crossings, equal to 4,551
External Peak Hour Trips, by the following:
(i) The Agreement (2010) provided that no later
than July 31, 2013, the Developer was to pay the Florida
Department of Transportation ("FDOT") $500,000 as funding for a
PD&E study for general consideration of State Road 40
improvements from Tymber Creek Road to I-95 (the "PD&E study"),
with the limits of the PD&E study to be subject to the FDOT's
discretion. The Agreement (2010) further provided that if the
PD&E study was completed and paid for prior to July 31, 2013,
then instead of paying the $500,000 to the FDOT, the Developer
was to apply the $500,000 to traffic related improvements that
benefit Ormond Crossings as the City directs, or at the
direction of the City, some or all of the $500,000 was to be
applied to improvements or operations that have the affect of
reducing vehicle miles traveled from and to Ormond Crossings.
The Agreement (2010) further provided that the event the
$500,000 was paid to FDOT for the PD&E study, and developers,
builders or property owners at Ormond Crossings have paid or
thereafter pay mobility fees that are collected for the purpose
24
of funding state transportation improvements, including studies
like the PD&E study, then the Developer may be entitled to
mobility fee credits from the FDOT or the State of Florida. By
letter dated July 24, 2010 from the District Five Secretary for
FDOT, the FDOT agreed to accept incremental payments from
Developer in accordance with the following schedule:
Payment 1: $20,000 due August 1, 2014
Payment 2: $160,000 due July 1, 2015
Payment 3: $160,000 due July 1, 2016
Payment 4: $160,000 due July 1, 2017
The Developer paid to FDOT Payments 1, 2 and 3 in accordance
with the payment schedule, and the Developer shall make Payment
4 as required by the payment schedule.
(ii) Subject to approval of Volusia County (the
“County”), the Developer shall upgrade the approximately 4.15
mile segment of Tymber Creek Road from Airport Road to the I-95
underpass near the project's northern boundary (the "Tymber
Creek Road Upgrade"). The Tymber Creek Road Upgrade shall
consist of upgrading and repaving Tymber Creek Road within the
existing right-of-way to a standard 2-lane typical cross section
acceptable to the County. "Upgrade" shall mean utilizing
existing pavement and road base to the maximum extent possible
and providing lane widths and shoulders meeting the County's
25
currently adopted standards for a 2-lane undivided roadway. The
Developer is not responsible for new drainage improvements,
modifying existing turn lanes previously installed at the
entrance to the Southern Pines subdivision or building sidewalks
or bicycle trails along the roadway. The Tymber Creek Road
Upgrade shall commence within 1-year of the first subdivision or
site plan approval for the portion of Ormond Crossings that is
located west of I-95 and shall be completed within 1-year from
the date of commencement.
If the County does not approve all or a
portion of the roadway improvements provided for in this
Section 2(a)(ii), instead of completing those roadway
improvements, the Developer shall make alternative related
improvements or contributions to operations as provided for in
Section 2(k) below.
(iii) As a contribution to the future 4-laning of
Tymber Creek Road from Peruvian Trail to Airport Road (the
"Tymber Creek 4-laning"), the Developer shall defer its right to
use or sell transportation impact fee credits to which it may be
entitled in connection with the Tymber Creek Road Upgrade until
the County has collected $3,500,000 of transportation impact
fees in connection with building permits issued for construction
26
at Ormond Crossings. Developer's agreement to defer the use or
sale of transportation impact fee credits shall not reduce the
amount of transportation impact fee credits to which Developer
may be entitled pursuant to the applicable County ordinance or a
separate agreement between the Developer and Volusia County.
(iv) The Developer, the City and the North
Mainland/Ormond Crossings CRA Authority ("CRA Authority") shall
pursue the design and construction of Crossings Boulevard,
including the overpass of I-95, to address the conditions of
blight identified in the Master Redevelopment Plan North
Mainland CRA, dated March 2005. A portion of the funding for the
improvement shall be generated through the use of tax increment
funds (“TIF”) and a portion shall be provided by the Developer
or generated by the CDD through the use of special assessment
bonds.
The segment of Crossings Boulevard from
US-1, including a railroad fly-over, to a round-about is shown
on the plat of Ormond Crossings Phase A ("Segment 1"). The
design cross section of Segment 1 is shown on Exhibit "D"
hereto. The Developer shall design and permit Segment 1 and the
Developer or the CDD shall loan sufficient funds to the CRA
Authority (the "Segment 1 Loan") so the CRA Authority can
27
commence construction of Segment 1 within 5 years after the plat
of Ormond Crossings Phase A is recorded, provided that in any
event, Segment 1 shall be completed prior to the project
exceeding 2,017 net external peak-hour trips. The terms and
conditions of the Segment 1 Loan shall be provided for in a
separate agreement between the Developer or the CDD and the CRA
Authority, provided that regardless of the amount of the loan to
the CRA Authority, repayment, including reimbursement of the
lender’s cost of money, shall be limited to the extent that the
County’s contribution of TIF shall be limited to $4,000,000 and
the City’s contribution shall be limited to $8,000,000, totaling
a maximum contribution of $12,000,000.
Crossings Boulevard shall be extended from
Segment 1, including an I-95 fly-over, to connect to an internal
roadway within Ormond Crossings, west of I-95 ("Segment 2").
The design cross section of Segment 2 is shown on Exhibit "E"
hereto. The Developer or the CDD shall commence design and
permitting of Segment 2 at such time as the CRA Authority
provides written notice that it can reasonably foresee having
the ability, within 2 years, to repay the Segment 1 Loan. The
Developer or the CDD shall proceed with the construction of
Segment 2 upon repayment of the Segment 1 Loan or as soon as the
design and permitting of Segment 2 are completed, whichever is
28
later, provided that in any event Segment 2 shall be completed
prior to the project exceeding 4,000 net external peak-hour
trips. The Developer shall construct or cause a successor
developer or developers to construct an internal roadway system
that provides a connection from the point of terminus of
Segment 2 to US-1, northwest of its interchange with I-95. That
roadway connection to US-1 shall be completed prior to buildout
of 1,000 residential units at Ormond Crossings, regardless of
whether or not Segment 2 has been constructed by that time.
(v) Within 6 months following commencement of
construction of Segment 1 by the CRA Authority, the Developer or
the CDD shall commence construction of a road segment from the
point of terminus of Segment 1 northward to connect to Tymber
Creek Road via an I-95 underpass (the "East-West Connector
Road"). The design cross section of the East-West Connector Road
is shown on Exhibit "F" hereto. The East-West Connector Road
shall be completed within 1 year following commencement or when
Segment 1 is completed, whichever is later.
(vi) Developer shall install a traffic signal at
US-1 and Broadway Avenue ("Broadway Signal") and turn lane
improvements (the "Broadway Turn Lanes"). The Broadway Turn
Lanes shall consist of an eastbound left-turn lane, through
29
lane, and right-turn lane on Broadway Avenue at US-1 and a
southbound right-turn lane on US-1 at Broadway Avenue. The
Broadway Turn Lanes shall be constructed prior to the eastbound
(Broadway Avenue) approach traffic exceeding 53 vehicles during
the eight highest hours of an average weekday, as documented in
the Annual Report. The Broadway Signal shall be installed
within one year after the eastbound (Broadway Avenue) approach
traffic meets traffic signal warrants based on FDOT study
procedures.
The Developer shall be relieved of its obligation to
pay for, and to provide, the Broadway Turn Lanes for the
development and construction of the First Security 100,000
Square Feet Tract 18 Project provided that the Broadway
Turn Lanes are fully constructed by and at the expense of
Security First. In addition, the development and
construction of the Security First 100,000 Square Feet
Tract 18 Project, as evidenced by the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the building structure and the
issuance of a certificate of completion for the
infrastructure improvements, shall not trigger the
requirement for the Developer to pay for and install the
Broadway Signal.
30
(vii) Developer shall install a traffic signal
and additional turn lanes at US-1 and Hull Road (the "Hull Road
Signal and Turn Lanes"). The Hull Road Signal and Turn Lanes
shall consist of a southbound (US-1) right-turn lane at Hull
Road, extension of the northbound (US-1) left-turn lane to 600
feet, and signalization. Construction shall be completed by
December 31, 2012, provided that if the traffic signal is not
warranted or if there have been no certificates of occupancy
issued within Ormond Crossings by then, the Hull Road Signal and
Turn Lanes shall be installed and constructed within one year
following the date the traffic signal is warranted or the first
certificate of occupancy has been issued, whichever is later.
The development and construction of the Security First
100,000 Square Feet Tract 18 Project, as evidenced by the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building
structure and the issuance of a certificate of completion for
the infrastructure improvements, shall not trigger the
requirement for Developer to pay for and provide the Hull Road
Signal and Turn Lanes.
(viii) As provided by subsection (vi) above,
Developer shall install the Broadway Signal. Developer shall
also install traffic signals at the entrances to Ormond
31
Crossings from US-1 north and south of the I-95 interchange when
traffic meets traffic signal warrants based on FDOT study
procedures. Concurrently with the installation of each of those
three traffic signals, the Developer shall also install
communication cable or wireless devices connecting the new
traffic signal to adjacent traffic signals within 0.5 mile along
US-1. Within 6 months following a request from the City or
County, but not later than December 31, 2020, Developer shall
provide the City and County with a timing study for the traffic
signals on US-1 from the northern entrance to Ormond Crossings
on US-1 to the southern entrance on US-1 at Crossings
Boulevard/Pine Tree Road.
(ix) Prior to the project exceeding 2,275 net
external peak-hour trips, the Developer shall complete the
following improvements at the I-95/US-1 interchange:
• To the I-95 southbound ramps, add a
second southbound I-95 to southbound US-1 left-turn lane,
convert the existing inside left-turn lane to a shared
through/left-turn lane and extend the southbound I-95 to
northbound US-1 right-turn lane to 550 feet.
32
• To the I-95 northbound ramps, add a
second I-95 northbound to US-1 southbound left-turn lane and
extend the northbound I-95 to northbound US-1 right-turn lane to
550 feet.
In the event adjustments to existing traffic
signals are necessary in connection with the above improvements,
the Developer shall make those adjustments but shall not be
required to upgrade the signals with mast arms.
(b) All roadways within Ormond Crossings shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with applicable standards
of the FDOT, the County or the City, depending on the agency
responsible for the particular roadway. All site plan and site
specific development issues shall be addressed in the PMUD and
as part of the subdivision and site plan review processes to
ensure compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
Developer shall be responsible for construction of new roadways
and improvements, based on the City's local road design
standards, to portions of Pineland Trail and Harmony Avenue that
are within or bordering Ormond Crossings, which will be reviewed
and approved through the PMUD and site plan processes to ensure
compliance with the City's requirements. The layout, design and
roadway construction standards shall be determined by City staff
33
in accordance with the typical City roadway details during the
rezoning and development approval processes. The Developer has
a right under the PMUD process to request waivers and
alternative design standards as prescribed by the City's Land
Development Code or as may be provided for in the PMUD. If
increased roadway capacity resulting from improvements by the
Developer to City streets or roadways is not all required for
project related traffic, the Developer or assignee may be
entitled to credits for transportation impact fees due to the
City in connection with construction within the project. Any
transportation impact fee credits shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the City's impact fee
ordinance or separate agreement between the Developer and the
City.
(c) Except as provided for herein with respect to
Crossings Boulevard or hereafter specifically agreed in writing,
the City and the entity with jurisdiction over the facilities
have no financial responsibility to contribute to or participate
in the funding of the design, engineering, permitting and/or
construction of roadway improvements for Ormond Crossings.
(d) The City shall establish a multi-modal
transportation district for the area of the City that includes
34
Ormond Crossings requiring transit services, facilities and
amenities as well as transit oriented development practices and
principles to accommodate growth in the area. Ormond Crossings
shall adhere to transit oriented development design principles
and concepts within an area appropriate for future transit (see
"Accessing Transit, design handbook for Florida Bus Passenger
Facilities," FDOT Version II 2008). Prior to the issuance of
the first certificate of occupancy at Ormond Crossings, the
Developer shall enter into an agreement with the City and
Votran, which addresses roadway and transit capital, operations
and maintenance funding. Beginning in the fifth year after that
agreement is entered into, Developer shall meet annually with
the City and Votran to decide on appropriate multi-modal
transportation strategies and operations for the following year.
The issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Security
First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18 Project, as evidenced by the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building
structure and the issuance of a certificate of completion for
the infrastructure improvements, shall not trigger the
requirement that Developer enter the agreement with the City and
Votran.
(e) In order to provide safe access and preserve
operational capacity, left and right turn deceleration lanes
35
shall be installed by the Developer at all entrances to Ormond
Crossings on collector and arterial roadways, as determined by
the appropriate maintaining agency. Pedestrian and transit
considerations shall be considered in the design. The Developer
and the appropriate maintaining agency shall confirm the need
for and the cost of signalization at the entrances to Ormond
Crossings consistent with policies of the appropriate
governmental entity and when nationally recognized warrants
(FHWA’s Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices) are met.
Signal costs at entrances to Ormond Crossings are the financial
responsibility of the Developer through buildout of the project.
(f) In the interest of safety, and to promote
alternative forms of transportation, the Developer shall provide
the following bicycle and pedestrian systems:
(i) The on-site bicycle systems shall be
connected into any adjacent external bicycle systems existing at
the time of construction;
(ii) Covered walkways shall be designed into the
front of non-residential structures to the maximum extent
practicable;
36
(iii) In all areas of Ormond Crossings where
cycling will be accomplished on both sidewalk/bikeways and
streets, appropriate signage identifying bike routes will be
installed;
(iv) Connections for bicyclists and pedestrians
shall be provided between residential neighborhoods, employment
centers and commercial areas to the maximum extent practical;
(v) Bicycle support facilities (e.g., parking
and lockers) shall be provided at commercial areas and all work
areas; and
(g) The following transit related actions are
required:
(i) Bicycle lockers or bicycle racks, transit
passenger shelters and transit parking bays shall be constructed
where necessary to augment and facilitate the operations of
transit service to the site as determined by the City in
consultation with Votran;
(ii) Transit pull-out bays and transit shelters
as required by the City in consultation with Votran shall be
constructed on-site by the Developer;
37
(iii) A site shall be provided for multiple
future transit stops to accommodate buses at a location
determined by the City in consultation with Votran and the
Developer at the time of site plan approval;
(iv) At the City's request, the Developer shall
enter into an agreement with the City in consultation with
Votran in order to determine the appropriate number and location
of pull-out bays, transit shelters, covered walkways and their
location on the site, the size of a future transit super-stop if
determined by the City to be appropriate for the estimated
ridership, and the viability of a CDD operated internal tram
system to provide transportation to destinations and transit
stops within the project; and
(v) When studies are conducted to implement bus
service, the Developer shall fully cooperate with the City in
donating necessary right-of-way that may be necessary for the
route, transit stations, park & ride facilities and other
accoutrements deemed warranted by Votran, in consultation with
the City.
(h) The Developer shall promote and encourage
variable work hours and flextime participation by on-site
employers. The Developer, employers and owners shall make known
38
to tenants and residents that Ormond Crossings has access to an
existing ride-sharing program operated by Votran. Transit and
current ride-sharing information shall be prominently displayed
in all public gathering areas, in employment centers and other
areas as suggested by Votran and the City. Transit access on
public rights-of-way, if necessary, shall be provided to meet
Votran specifications to facilitate transit to the site. To
reduce peak hour trips, the Developer (CDD or property owner
associations) may designate a part-time ride sharing coordinator
who is responsible for working with the area transit provider,
conducting employee ridesharing campaigns within the project,
publicity, processing applications, distribution information
(including transit information).
(i) The Developer shall coordinate with the City,
Votran, the CDD and any property owner associations to ensure
the provision of park and ride spaces on site and construct an
area for use as a rideshare lot to lessen the overall impacts on
regional roadways. Spaces for at least 200 vehicles shall be
provided and may be shared with parking for commercial land
uses. The park and ride spaces shall be proximate to the bus
transit stops when established. Park and ride spaces shall be
aggregated into groupings of not less than 25 spaces per
designated park and ride area, which shall be indicated with
appropriate signage. The Developer shall coordinate with City
39
and Votran to accomplish these requirements at the time of site
development.
(j) In order to minimize impacts to the roadway
network, roads within Ormond Crossings shall, subject to
environmental constraints, be interconnected to the maximum
extent feasible as determined by the City. The project will
generally be connected to existing neighborhoods and will tie
into local streets, where feasible and as deemed appropriate by
the appropriate local government.
(k) The transportation mitigation projects and other
mitigation activities to reduce vehicle miles traveled from and
to Ormond Crossings are sufficient for the impacts of the
project, including impacts on Volusia County roadways. The City
hereby acknowledges and agrees that by complying with the
provisions of this Section 2, the Developer shall be entitled to
fully and completely develop Ormond Crossings without further
transportation improvements. If any of the transportation
mitigation projects are unnecessary because they were or are
being undertaken by a third party or are not possible because
they are not approved by the entity with jurisdiction or for any
other reason, the Developer shall make alternative traffic
related improvements or contributions to operations that have
40
the affect of reducing vehicle miles traveled from and to Ormond
Crossings as directed by the City, provided that any alternative
mitigation of offsite transportation impacts shall not exceed
the cost of the individual transportation mitigation projects
being replaced.
3. Recreation.
(a) The Developer deeded to the City by Warranty Deed
dated July 29, 2010 (which deed has been recorded at Book 6507,
Pages 4363 through 4366 of the public records of Volusia County,
Florida) title to that parcel of land, containing approximately
17 acres, which is more particularly described on Exhibit "G"
hereto (the "City Park Site"). The City took title to the City

Developer.
(b) Prior to the buildout of 2,000 residential units
at Ormond Crossings, the Developer shall deed to the City, using
deed forms acceptable to the City, title to a total of 45 acres
of uplands to serve as park sites ("Project Park Sites"). The 45
41
acres shall be contained in not more than 5 Project Park Sites to
balance the need to provide parks that are walkable for most of
the Ormond Crossings residents with the City's concern that it
could be burdened with the need to maintain numerous park sites
scattered throughout the project.
Prior to the buildout of 1,000 residential units
at Ormond Crossings, on the Project Park Sites, or other sites
donated by Developer to the CDD or a property owners association,
the Developer shall provide, or cause to be provided, the

(xi) 1 racquetball court.
The City acknowledges that the need for recreational
facilities is a function of the population therefore adjustments
to these requirements can be expected to occur as the project
proceeds.
(c) Developer shall not be entitled to any impact fee
credits or other compensation in connection with the donation of
the City Park Site. However, Developer shall be entitled to
recreation impact fee credits in connection with the donation of
the Project Park Sites. The recreation impact fee credits in
connection with the donation of the Project Park Sites shall be
44
in accordance with Chapter 1, Article IV, Section 1-27 of the
City of Ormond Beach Land Development Code (December 1, 2006).
In addition, whoever pays for the facilities listed in
subsection (b) above shall be entitled to recreation impact fee
credits also as allowed in Chapter 1, Article IV, Section 1-27
of the Ormond Beach Land Development Code (December 1, 2006).
4. Education. Prior to the issuance of residential
building permits at Ormond Crossings by the City, the Developer
shall deed to the Volusia County School Board, using a deed form
acceptable to the School Board, title to an elementary school
site at a location acceptable to the City and the School Board.
The school site shall contain a minimum of 20 contiguous
reasonably compact useable upland acres and shall be located
proximate to the residential land uses and shall be connected to
the residential land uses by an interconnected bicycle and
pedestrian trail system.
5. Public Safety.
(a) The Developer shall provide a fire station site,
acceptable to the City, containing a minimum of 3 upland acres,
which shall be located within a service delivery area acceptable
to the City for purposes of providing fire and emergency
45
management services at Ormond Crossings. The title to the fire
station site shall be deeded to the City free of charge, using a
deed form acceptable to the City, and shall be free and clear of
liens or encumbrances. The fire station site shall be included
in Phase A (initial plat) of the project. At any time following
platting, the Developer shall convey title to the fire station
site to the City within 90 days following a request from the
City.
(b) Developer shall pay to design and construct a
fire station at Ormond Crossings and purchase a "Class A" pumper
vehicle and a ladder truck to serve the project ("Fire
Station/Truck Costs"). If the City adopts an impact fee for
public safety facilities that pertain to costs like the Fire
Station/Truck Costs, then the cost of the Fire Station/Truck
Costs shall be offset by any applicable impact fees that are
paid as a result of construction at Ormond Crossings. If
Developer advances any amounts to pay Fire Station/Truck Costs
that would be offset by future impact fee payments, Developer
shall be entitled to assignable impact fee credits equal to the
amount advanced.

CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor Partington and City Commissioners
Through: Joyce A. Shanahan, City Manager
From: Ric Goss, Planning Director
Date: July 25, 2017
Subject: Ormond Crossing Development Agreement - 1st Amendment
Commission Goal: Economic Development - Economic Development Plan
Introduction This is an ordinance to approve the first amendment to the Ormond Crossings Development Agreement between the City of Ormond Beach and Tomoka Holdings, LLC, the owner/developer (Developer) of the Ormond Crossings project. The Development Agreement was approved by the City Commission on February 19, 2010. Background The City of Ormond Beach and Developer initiated planning efforts for the 2,924 acre mixed-use development known as Ormond Crossings in 2002. The project located on the south side of the FEC railroad spans both sides of Interstate 95 and is north of the City of Ormond Beach Municipal Airport. The Development Agreement is consistent with the requirements of the Florida Local Government Development Agreement Act (Sections 163.3220-163.3243, Florida Statutes). The Development Agreement provides for general and specific requirements of the Developer to address the impacts of the project on transportation, emergency management, educational, recreational and utility services, and facilities. The transportation improvements consist of several different improvements to City, County, and State/Federal roads. The majority of the improvements are the sole responsibility of the Developer. The one exception is Crossings Boulevard; an arterial road that spans both sides of I-95 and includes elevated crossings of the FEC railroad and I-95. Discussion Transportation studies were conducted by the Developer’s consultant, Lassiter Transportation Group, Inc., to provide a preliminary traffic analysis of the impacts of the
Page 2 of 4
Security First Managers proposed 100,000 square foot office headquarters project. Included in the studies were analysis of the warrant studies for the intersections of US1 at Hull Road and US1 and Broadway Avenue. A summary of the substantive recommended revisions to the Development Agreement that allow Developer to modify the timing of some of the mitigation requirement as stated in the Development Agreement include the following provisions with staff comments:
Page 5 [Recitals, (L)]: deleted the word “commercial”, leaving only “office space”. Also added language to clarify the right to develop up to 275,000 square feet is part of the total density and intensity for Ormond Crossings provided in Part II, Section 2 of the agreement.
o Staff Comment: To clarify the use and potential intensity of the Security
First Tract 18 project, this section of the Development Agreement has been modified.
Page 15 [Part II, Section 8]: changed the term of the agreement from 15 to 20 years.
o Staff Comment: Given how long it has taken to move this project forward,
the duration change to 20 years from the date of the amended agreement is appropriate.
Page 22, [Part llI, Section 1 (b)]: added the provision: Developer is relieved of its obligation to pay for, and to provide the, Utility Facilities described in Part III, para. 1(a), to and for the development of the Security First 100,000 square feet Tract 18 project provided that such Utility Facilities are fully constructed by and at the expense of Security First.
o Staff Comment: The Developer is providing Security First Managers with
capital to construct the necessary utilities to the Tract 18 project site. Therefore, the First Amendment to the Ormond Crossing Development Agreement allows the Developer to be relieved of the development of utilities, as described in Part III, paragraph 1(a) of the Amended Development Agreement, and requires Security First Managers to construct the specified utilities at its expense.
Page 28, [Part III, Section 2, (a)(vi)]: added the provision that the development and construction of the Security First 100,000 square feet Tract 18 Project shall not trigger the requirement for the Developer to pay for and provide the Broadway Avenue/ US 1 Signal and turn lanes.
o Staff Comments: The Planning Department reviewed the Preliminary
Traffic Signal Warrant Study for US 1 at Broadway Avenue and US 1. The analysis assessed the impact to intersection volumes (Warrants 1a and 1b) in evaluating the appropriateness for traffic signal control versus side-street STOP sign control. The traffic signal warrant summary depicted under Condition A (Minimum Vehicular Volume Warrant) indicates a traffic signal is not warranted at least 8 hours of the average day. Condition B
Page 3 of 4
(Interruption of Continuous Traffic Warrant) is met for at least eight hours of the day for eastbound Broadway Avenue as a single lane approach (existing condition), this approach is being widened to add two more lanes with the development of the office building. Under the Two-Lane Approach criterion, this warrant is not met for the eight hours of the day - it is met for only five hours of the day. In summary, staff agrees with the findings of the traffic analysis conducted by the Developer’s consultant, Lassiter Transportation Group, that a traffic signal is not warranted for the US 1/Broadway Avenue intersection. The Turn Lanes are to be fully constructed and paid by Security First.
Page 30, [Part III, Section 2(a)(vii)]:The development and construction of the Security First 100,000 square feet Tract 18 Project shall not trigger the requirement for the Developer to pay for and provide the Hull Road and Signal and Turn Lanes.
o The Planning Department reviewed the Preliminary Traffic Signal Warrant
Study for Hull Road at US 1. The study assumed no trip distribution from the office development to Hull Road since there was no direct road to Hull Road. Current trips at the intersection did not trip warrants even for a single lane approach.
Page 33, [Part III, Section 2(d)]: The issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Security First 100,000 Square Feet Tract 18 Project shall not trigger the requirement that the Developer enter the agreement with the City and Votran.
o Staff Comment: The requirement is that prior to issuance of the 1st CO, the
master developer is required to enter into an agreement with Votran and the City. Five year after the execution of this agreement, the Master Developer is required to meet with the City and Votran to decide which of the multimodal projects should be implemented. However, the Preliminary Traffic Signal Warrant Study indicates the duration of traffic congestion is at only am and pm peak hour. The Votran agreement as a traffic management strategy is not needed at this time. As more industrial and commercial development occurs, the Votran Agreement will be needed to contain congestion at peak hour periods and mid-day to maintain a smooth travel time without substantial delays on the roadway network.
Budget Impact There is no budget impact. Citizen Impact Retention and expansion of existing employers in Ormond Beach that provide above average wages is important to increasing the financial wealth of Ormond Beach residents. It is equally important that Ormond Beach expand its non-residential tax base by promoting and incentivizing quality commercial and industrial development.

Recommendation Staff recommends the City Commission approve the proposed first amendment to the Development Agreement between the City of Ormond Beach and Tomoka Holdings to allow for the construction of the Security First Manager office headquarters on tract 18 within the proposed Commerce Park portion of Ormond Crossings.

Re: Preliminary Traffic Signal Warrant Study – US 1 at Broadway AvenueOrmond Beach,, FL
Dear Mr. Smith:
Lassiter Transportation Group, Inc. (LTG) has been retained to provide a preliminary traffic signal warrant study (TSWS) for the intersection of US 1 at Broadway Avenue based on the proposed development of a 100,000 sq. ft. office building located south of the intersection of Tymber Creek Road and Broadway Avenue (see Figure 1 below). The proposed site plan for the office building is attached as Exhibit 1.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has jurisdiction over whether or not a traffic signal is to be permitted on a state road (US 1 is SR 5). The procedure adopted by FDOT to determine whether or not a traffic signal should be installed is identified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) published by the Federal Highway Administration of the US Department of Transportation. That procedure identifies various signal warrant criteria ranging from traffic volume thresholds, to safety thresholds, to pedestrian thresholds, to combinations of thresholds. In the case of evaluating a proposed development’s impact to an intersection’s operation, typically it is the volume threshold that applies in a predictive manner. This particular analysis assessesthe impact to intersection volumes (Warrants 1a and 1b) in evaluating the appropriateness for traffic signal control versus side street STOP sign control.
Warrants 1a (Volume Warrant) and 1b (Interruption of Continuous Flow Warrant) have established hourly approach volume thresholds that are to be met for at least eight hours of the day. In a predictive warrant analysis, those volumes consist of existing traffic already on the road in addition to predicted volumes from new development (such as the proposed 100,000 sq. ft. office building). This requires the data collection of existing counts and the estimate of office building-generated traffic.
The volumes warranting traffic signal control are further described as main street volumes versus side street volumes. In this case, US 1 is the main street and Broadway Avenue is the side street. In evaluating side street volumes, only the higher of the two side street approaches are considered. In this case, since the proposed office building is located [nominally ] west of US 1, the west (or eastbound) approach is the focus of the study.
Since it has been obviously demonstrated that the volumes on US 1 in the vicinity of Broadway Avenue clearly meet warrant criteria by the presence of numerous traffic signals on US 1 (to the north, signals at Plantation Bay, Destination Daytona and the two I-95 ramp intersections; and to the south, with traffic signals at Airport Road, Nova Road, Wilmette Avenue and SR 40), traffic counts of US 1 were not observed since they clearly meet the main street warrant thresholds. Instead, traffic counts were only collected from the side street (in this case the Broadway Avenue eastbound approach) to determine the existing base condition of counts that are currently approaching US 1 during the various hours of the day. Table 1 below presents the eastbound approach volumes on an hourly basis.

The column labeled “Average” in Table 1 represents the three-day average weekday condition (of a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday count period). It is this three-day average weekday count that is compared to the warrant criteria.
The next step is to estimate the hourly trips from the proposed 100,000 sq. ft. office building that would be added to the existing eastbound Broadway approach traffic at its intersection with US 1. LTG chose to use the outbound hourly distribution of traffic observed via counts taken at a similar office development in nearby Daytona Beach (the Cornerstone office buildings located in the southwest quadrant of the LPGA Boulevard/Williamson Boulevard intersection). The distribution of those outbound trips is provided in Table 2.

The hourly distribution of outbound office trips presented above in Table 2 account for the majority of the outbound trips between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (92.8%). These are the primary hours of the day that affect traffic signal warrant criteria.
The next step is to apply these outbound trip percentages to the estimated outbound traffic flows from the proposed 100,000 sq. ft. office building. This is done by first estimating the average daily trip generation, multiplying by one-half to get the outbound trips over a typical day and then applying the outbound flow percentages by hour of day listed in Table 2 to determine the outbound flows.
The daily trip generation for a typical office building was determined by applying the nationally accepted trip generation rate for office buildings obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ publication entitled Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. For a general office building, the daily trip generation formula is as follows:
Average Weekday Trips (T) = Exp[0.76 x Ln(X) + 3.68] In this case:
o X = 100 KSF (representing a 100,000 sq ft office building)o Then, per the equation, T = 1,314 (rounded up to next nearest even integer)
This value of average daily trips estimated for the office building was then halved (1/2 of 1,314 = 657) to project outbound only trips and multiplied by the outbound hourly office trip percentage values of Table 2 to determine the hourly outbound office trips generated by the proposed 100,000 sq ft building. The resultant outbound flows are presented in Table 3, below.

The next step is to identify what percentage of the outbound office trips would then actually use Broadway Avenue on approach to US 1 versus proceed to the south via either Tymber Creek Road or Pineland Trail. That percentage is estimated via a process called trip distribution. In this case, the Central Florida Regional Planning Model (CFRPM) Version 6.1 (the Model) was used to determine the trip distribution pattern. The Model was modified to reflect the proposed land use (office) in terms of its planned employment density and to reflect the location of the proposed access to the local road network.
After the modifications to the Model were complete, the Model was then “run” for the entire urban area, including the location of the office building to determine where the office building trips were projected to be distributed to the adjacent road network. This distribution of trips matches trip origins (the home “end” of trips is where office trips are typically generated) with the concentration of office employment that the proposed office building represents. Based on employment-to-home attraction equations that incorporate concentrations of homes, employment centers, travel distances and typical home-to-work travel characteristics, the Model matches reasonable trip distances from homes to employment opportunities. Additional trip-making purposes (non-home-based trips such as deliveries) are also included. The result is a projected trip assignment between uses which is then converted in to percentage of trips for the use being studied. Figure 2 presents a “zoomed in” window of the location where the office building is planned along with the percentage distribution of project trips to the adjacent road network. As noted in the figure, 93.9% of the office building trips are expected to be attracted to US 1 via the Broadway Avenue approach.

Based on the distribution of the proposed outbound office trips to the Broadway Avenue eastbound approach to the US 1 intersection (93.9%), and given the hourly distribution of trips from Table 3, eastbound approach volumes can be determined and are presented in Table 4 below. The outbound office trips represent the trips leaving the office building and approaching US 1.

The next step in the process involves adding the average hourly projected weekday office trips to the existing average hourly weekday approach trips identified in Table 1. This is summarized in Table 5.
The final step is to then compare the total side street (Broadway Avenue) approach volumes to the traffic signal warrant volume thresholds for the eight-hour Warrants 1a and 1b. In this case, the first criterion is whether or not the volumes are reduced due to the speed limit on US 1 (the main street) being greater than 40 mph. Since the posted speed is 45 mph, this criterion is met which results in reducing the threshold volumes by 70%.
The next criterion is whether or not the main street (US 1) has 1 or 2 approaches (per approach). Since there are two lanes, the threshold values for the side street approaches are 105 for a single lane approach and 140 for a dual lane approach (currently, the eastbound approach is a single lane but will be widened to a three-lane approach as part of the proposed development. So the existing condition is “single lane” but the condition ‘with the project’ is “two (dual) or more lanes”.
Clint Smith, PEMarch 17, 2017Page 8
Table 5 presents the traffic signal warrant summary which shows that, under Conditon A (Minimum VehicularVolume Warrant) that a traffic signal is not warranted at least 8 hours of the average day (in fact, only this warrant is met for only one hour under the existing single lane approach condition and one hour under the improved (two-or-more lane condition) Broadway Avenue approach condition (adding a left-turn lane and a right-turn lane). While Condition B (Interruption of Continuous Traffic Warrant) is met for at least eight hours of the day for eastbound Broadway Avenue as a single lane approach (existing condition), this approach is being widened to add two more lanes with the development of the office building. Under the Two-Lane Approach criterion, this warrant is not met for the eight hours of the day – it is met for only five hours of the day.
It should further be noted that the Florida Department of Transportation typically limits warrant-eligible traffic turning movements on a side street approach to through and left-turn movements which would likely further reduce the number of hours that would meet the volume warrant thresholds.

Re: Preliminary Traffic Signal Warrant Study – US 1 at Hull RoadOrmond Beach, FL
Dear Mr. Smith:
Lassiter Transportation Group, Inc. (LTG) has been retained to provide a preliminary traffic signal warrant study (TSWS) for the intersection of US 1 at Hull Road based on the proposed development of a 100,000 sq. ft. office building located south of the intersection of Tymber Creek Road and Broadway Avenue (see Figure 1 below). The proposed site plan for the office building is attached as Exhibit 1.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has jurisdiction over whether or not a traffic signal is to be permitted on a state road (US 1 is SR 5). The procedure adopted by FDOT to determine whether or not a traffic signal should be installed is identified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) published by the Federal Highway Administration of the US Department of Transportation. That procedure identifies various signal warrant criteria ranging from traffic volume thresholds, to safety thresholds, to pedestrian thresholds, to combinations of thresholds. In the case of evaluating a proposed development’s impact to an intersection’s operation, typically it is the volume threshold that applies in a predictive manner. This particular analysis assesses the impact to intersection volumes (Warrants 1a and 1b) in evaluating the appropriateness for traffic signal control versus side street STOP sign control.
Warrants 1a (Volume Warrant) and 1b (Interruption of Continuous Flow Warrant) have established hourly approach volume thresholds that are to be met for at least eight hours of the day. In a predictive warrant analysis, those volumes consist of existing traffic already on the road in addition to predicted volumes from new development (such as the proposed 100,000 sq. ft. office building). This requires the data collection of existing counts and the estimate of office building-generated traffic.
The volumes warranting traffic signal control are further described as main street volumes versus side street volumes. In this case, US 1 is the main street and Hull Road is the side street. In evaluating side street volumes, only the higher of the two side street approaches is considered. In this case, since the Hull Road intersection is a “T” intersection, only the eastbound approach is considered.
The proposed office building is located west of US 1 on Broadway Avenue approximately 1.6 miles distant from the US 1/Hull Road intersection. Given this location, the proposed office building will not contribute to eastbound Hull Road traffic since the only logical approach to this intersection is via US 1, not Hull Road.
Since it is evident that the volumes on US 1 in the vicinity of Hull Road clearly meet warrant criteria by the presence of numerous traffic signals on US 1 (to the north, signals at Plantation Bay, Destination Daytona and the two I-95 ramp intersections; and to the south, at Airport Road, Nova Road, Wilmette Avenue and SR 40), traffic counts on US 1 were not observed since they clearly meet the main street warrant thresholds. Instead, trafficcounts were only collected from the side street (in this case the Hull Road eastbound approach) to determine the existing base condition of counts that are currently approaching US 1 during the various hours of the day. Table 1 presents the eastbound approach volumes on an hourly basis.

The column labeled “Average” in Table 1 represents the three-day average weekday condition (of a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday count period). It is this three-day average weekday count that is compared to the warrant criteria.
Since the 100,000 sq. ft. office building will not be adding any traffic to the eastbound approach, the warrant criteria will be evaluated based on the existing counts alone.

The final step is to then compare the existing side street (Hull Road) eastbound approach volumes to the traffic signal warrant volume thresholds for the eight-hour Warrants 1a and 1b. In this case, the first criterion is whether or not the volumes are reduced due to the speed limit on US 1 (the main street) being greater than 40 mph. Since the posted speed is 45 mph, this criterion is met, which results in reducing the threshold volumes by 70%.
The next criterion is whether or not the main street (US 1) has 1 or 2 approaches (per approach). Since there is a left-turn and a separate right-turn lane, the threshold values for the side street approach is 140 for a two-lane lane approach.
Table 2 presents the traffic signal warrant summary which shows that, under Condition A (Minimum VehicularVolume Warrant), a traffic signal is not warranted for at least 8 hours of the average day (in fact, only this warrant is met for only one hour for the Hull Road approach. While Condition B (Interruption of Continuous Traffic Warrant) is met for eight hours of the day for eastbound Hull Road, this approach is not impacted by the development of the office building.
It should further be noted that the Florida Department of Transportation typically limits warrant-eligible traffic turning movements on a side street approach to through and left-turn movements which will further reduce thenumber of hours that would meet the volume warrant thresholds since most of the eastbound approach traffic at this intersection are comprised of right-turns as noted in the field.

In summary, a traffic signal is not warranted for the US 1/Hull Road intersection due to the proposed 100,000 sq. ft. office building, nor it is projected to be warranted due to existing traffic based on this analysis and FDOT criteria which excludes right-turns.
