south, as well as all residential uses between the Grand Canal and South Patrick Drive. Most of the commercial uses along the east side of South Patrick Drive south of Roosevelt Avenue also fall within the CHHA. Evacuation and sheltering are a regional concern. The planning and implementation of evacuation and sheltering must be done in close coordination with Brevard County, Brevard County Metropolitan Planning Organization, the East Central Regional Planning Council, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the American Red Cross. As a coordinated team, the ability to assure the safety of the citizens is greatly enhanced. There are also concerns as to egress during hurricane evacuation. All of Satellite Beach is designated by the Brevard County Division of Emergency Management/Communications as being in Evacuation Zone 6. Zone 6 includes the residents of Patrick Air Force Base south to the northern limits of Indian Harbour Beach. All citizens must evacuate over the Pineda Causeway in the event of a severe hurricane emergency. The Brevard County Office of Emergency Management has estimated that approximately 22,922 people may be required to use the Pineda evacuation corridor; 10,938 of them from Satellite Beach. The Brevard County Growth Management Department has indicated the present capacity of the Pineda Causeway with three (3) lanes westbound and one (1) lane eastbound is 1,465 vehicles per hour. Evacuation egress is further complicated by the low elevation of the west side of the City which makes many of its roadways prone to flooding in major storm conditions. Such concerns focus on the potential impact on South Patrick Drive and its efficiency as a prime egress for hurricane evacuation. In 1990 FDOT determined that South Patrick Drive could not be widened because the 100-year flood plain elevations would require raising the roadway and the high cost of right-a-ways pushed the project close to 20 million dollars. Currently, evacuation clearance times for Brevard County are estimated to be 12 hours for Category 1 and 2 hurricanes and 18 hours for Category 3 through 5 hurricanes (FDCA, 2005). The Florida Division of Emergency Management recommends that all counties achieve 12 hours or less clearance time for a Category 3 hurricane. This is due to the limited amount of time between the National Hurricane Center issuing a hurricane warning and when the tropical storm-force winds make landfall. Brevard County is not able to meet this standard now, and with continued growth and the limited road network of the region, it will be difficult to decrease this evacuation time. Hurricane shelters are designated annually by Brevard County Emergency Management and are opened dependent upon the level of hurricane threat. They are coordinated with the Satellite Beach Emergency Manager but operated solely by Brevard County with support from the City. Authority for this practice is derived from Florida Statute 252. The recommended public evacuation shelter for City residents is located at Brevard Community College’s Cocoa and Melbourne campuses. Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-5
B. FUTURE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Future traffic conditions including traffic volumes on the roadway network in Satellite Beach have been projected for the years 2009 and 2019. Future roadway network needs have been identified as a result of projected future traffic volumes. Future traffic volumes were developed based on the Future Land Use Map, proposed developments, population projections, tourist traffic and historic growth. A review of the proposed and funded capacity or improvement projects by the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Major Transportation Improvement Projects FY 2008- 2012 indicated corridor improvements were funded for a 3.15 mile stretch of S.R. 513 (South Patrick Drive) from DeSoto Parkway to S.R. 404 (Pineda Causeway). Right-of-way acquisition occurred in 2008 and construction was to have been completed by 2009. However, these improvements have been removed from the list of short-term improvements and postponed indefinitely. With these improvements to S.R. 513, the over-capacity road’s level of service would have been improved significantly from D to B, meeting both the City and State standards. By 2010 another segment of FDOT roadway (S.R. AIA) will have exceeded capacity using City roadway level of services standards. However, by FDOT standards it has not. Because the City has no control or authorization of these particular road segments and could continually fall into the concurrency trap, for which they have no recourse. Based on the above, the City will recommend in the EAR-based Amendment phase to drop the LOS for State-controlled Arterials to “D”. Other transportation planning documents such as the Brevard 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan indicates no need or planning for any improvements within Satellite Beach. Therefore, the Level of Service appears not to be a critical issue at this time, nor is it anticipated to become one in the near future. Based on these County transportation reports and the projected LOS, an in depth transportation analysis is not warranted at this time. All other roads are considered "local", have no LOS problems, and are maintained by the City. Because the City is almost completely built out, its local streets cannot be expected to exceed LOS C in 2015. Based on this analysis, the transportation needs of Satellite Beach do not warrant the creation of a multi-modal transportation system. Pursuant to Section 163.3 180(10), Florida Statutes, each local government shall use a professionally accepted methodology for measuring impacts on transportation facilities for the purposes of implementing its concurrency management system. The methodology used by each jurisdiction for measuring transportation impacts should include the following components: • Adopted level of service standards • Traffic study area requirements • Background traffic assumptions • Trip generation data and trip distribution requirements • Impact analysis based on peak hour trips Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-6
