• New infrastructure in place (interchanges on I-75);

• Proposed regional road network(allows direct access to Tampa marketsincreasing demand at this location);

• Timing = end of a long recession; • Large tracts of virgin land

(ideal for installing gigabit fiber cablesvs. digging up existing streets);

• Population growth rate in Florida• Economic growth of the Tampa region

April 2015 - State Senate Bill 1216 established 7800 acres off of I-75 in Pasco County as pilot community requiring less regional oversight (due to Metro Development initiative and vision)

May 2015 - BCC Resolution 15-140 established public private partnership

Places priority on access to technology, encourages entrepreneurship in high tech industries, create high-wage jobs, expedited review process

July 2015 - DEO 15-102 certified 10-Year Pilot Project requires biennial reports

Feb 2017 - BCC Approved CC Overlay Zone and enabling documents

Unique Enabling Documents

10

Voluntary Overlay Zone – land owners can choose to opt in by rezoning

to CC MPUD – value is created even if don’t opt in

Fifty (50) year entitlements – value of long term entitlements offers

development community predictability and long term value;

Exempt from the Macro Transportation Timing and Phasing Analysis

Master Roadway Plan and Finance Plan documents how internal and

external road improvements are funded;

11

Expedited Incremental Review Process lets developers start construction

without final approvals saving months off construction schedule;

Transportation (Mobility Fee) Credits for first 2 lanes if Service Ready Sites

are prepared (employment targeted land uses) with 10 gigabit connections;

Required mixed uses are in close proximity to residential neighborhoods

(% by distance) thus reducing vehicle trips on local roads;

12

All roads will have gigabit fiber in roadways (cars) and neighborhood trails (golf

carts) to allow driverless vehicles to communicate;

Separate Neighborhood vehicle trails and pathways –alternative ways to get to

work, shop, schools and parks (walking, golf carts reduce local road volumes)

New code allows golf carts and light autonomous vehicles to use local roads;

Mixed Uses in close proximity reduces local trips on roads

Funds for BRT ROW Acquisition / Park N Ride facility

Funds for Vision Zero Technology to reduce fatalities

13

Gigabit Infrastructure Credits are granted to builders for installing smart gigabit

infrastructure (solar panels, smart meters, etc.) in homes/businesses

Linear parks extend recreational space and maximize residential frontage to

encourage access to outdoor activities - all parks and trails will have WIFI;

Additional School impact surcharges allows facilities and programs to be funded

with 10 gigabit equipment thus opening up tremendous opportunities for

students and increasing value of local schools

New custom made solar powered street lights with WIFI

14

CC Schools have gigabit equipment and applications global access !

Liberal Home Occupation rules – encourages start-up companies in garages (10

gigabit access) and/or parents to run business from home;

Tenants/Companies/homeowners have access to business start-up funds and

educational programs using or promoting gigabit technologies (credits for education

programs, funding startups)

Service Ready Sites for expansion of new businesses and new business attraction

that want 10 gigabit internet

Flexible Land Uses easier employers to locate here;

Pasco County Benefits• Addresses imbalance of housing vs. jobs (SRSA, flexible zoning, high speed internet

access for all)• Increases our revenue base (Overlay zone + incentives for new infra + gigabit in roads

increases land values)• Expedited review process makes us more competitive• Improved development standards with new technologies, measurements, planning

tools, incentives• Building reputation for innovation, pro business environment, communities that

address future needs of residents, schools, and businesses• Traffic Monitoring Program using VC ratios

• If VC ratio > 1.1 on any roadway segment detailed monitoring begins -including solutions to reduce VC ratio;

• If ever VC ratio = 1.2 then County can withhold future approvals until reduced, increase transportation surcharges as needed to make improvements;

20

21

Service-Ready Site requirements:

Pre condition for release of Mobility Fee Credits• Direct access to constructed primary or

intermediate roadway on Master Roadway Plan (must have a logical terminus)

• Infrastructure must be installed in roadways:• Potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed

water (if available within 1500 ft) mains• Electric & Telephone easements• Constructed fiber for gigabit• Utility Service Agreement• Mass Grading permit• SWFWMD permits• Deed Restrictions lock in office/industrial land

uses unless super majority vote by BCC22

PurposeIdentifies strategies, costs and funding sources for master transportation infrastructure needed for development thru 2065.

Strategy:• Utilizes private funding over long term• Mobility fees and additional CC surcharges

funds the required infrastructure without reliance on special assessments.

• Funding sources are received incrementally dependent upon when development occurs.

23

Requirements for Mobility Fee Credits

• No credits for any local interior roads• No credits for external road improvements Admin, and BRT ROW acquisition

(developers pay 25% cash at counter) • Primary Roadways and Alternative Transportation lanes are required• Intermediate Roadways outside developers holdings are eligible• Costs for street lighting, autonomous transit vehicles, charging stations and

trails (outside of ROW) can not exceed amounts in the Financial Plan

Service Ready Sites• With each CC MPUD a certain amount of upland Service Ready Site Acres

based on square feet (office, industrial land uses) must meet conditions;• Roadways must be adjacent to or terminating at Service Ready Sites • Gigabit infrastructure must be in Roadways• Utility connections in Roadways and Utility Service Agreements in place• All permits (mass grading) in place• Deed Restrictions locking in office or industrial land uses.

24

Items Funded in CC-FP• Transportation

• Internal Roadways $ 165.4 M• Alt. Transportation 36.3 M• External Roadways 57.9 M

Subtotal $ 259.7 M

• Schools (Land & Facilities) $ 18.2 M• Smart Gigabit Infrastructure 38.9 M• Innovation Enterprise Fund 5.5 M• CC Development Review 6.4 M

Subtotal (Maximum) $ 69 M

Total $ 328.8 M

25

PurposeIdentifies the Preliminary Alignments and Required Typical Cross Sections for the Primary Roadways (Arterial and Major Collector Roadways) and Intermediate Roadways (Minor Collector Roadways)

• to support the projected entitlements to 2065• Cross Sections help all CC Entitled Developers

to construct standard roadways that build consistent connectivity (Cars, Neighborhood vehicles, and multipurpose trails)

• Standardized cross sections speed reviews

26

• Blueprint for Connectivity = Predictability and Interconnectivity

• Requires Conformance Incrementally • Requires Typical Cross Sections and

Preliminary Alignments for:• Primary Roads

• Arterials and Major Collectors• Intermediate Roads

• Minor Collectors• Requires Alternative Transportation

Network• Typical Intersection Geometry Details• Mandates Methodology for Incremental

Construction (economical widening)27

Pasco County approves entitlements without having roads in place at time of approval because it receives roads as “pipeline projects” giving Mobility Fee Credits at Bldg permit stage.

• Fees are used by the County to pay for future CIP and LRTP planned roads needed over and above what the developer requires for his own project

• Can be used for additional road improvements, transit, bike lanes, and sidewalks (Transp. related)• No credits cash only of 25% must go to External roads, Administration and Transit • Credits are given for Preferred forms of development: office, industrial employee generating uses.• Reduced fees for more compact and transit oriented physical development (MUTRM, TOD, TND)

(intent = because these forms REDUCE traffic on local roads)• Different Fee Schedules for Urban (W/S Pasco). Urban (E/Central) and Rural (N Pasco)• NO credits given for INTERNAL roads that only serve project (NO local interior roads)• Credits are given for roads that function as Arterial/Primary roads (Highway Vision Plan) or

external to project if required by the County.• The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan relies of future Mobility Fees to fund projects within

each designated District

29

Purpose:• Used as an INCENTIVE to speed up development priorities (needed roads) at the

expense of having less revenues for LRTP future funding; Used for office and industrial employment center connections.

Benefit:• County receives the roads when needed – catalyst for preferred development.• County benefits from the time delay (by paying later when credits are worth less).

Catch:• Must use the credits in the District that generates it.
