DOT: RPD yields net traffic reduction vs. hypothetical maximum; examiner asks for school-bus accommodation and leaves record open
Summary
Lee County DOT's traffic analysis concluded the RPD, as proposed, results in a net reduction of trips compared with a hypothetical maximum-density scenario; the hearing examiner requested a small, non‑dimensional school-bus congregating area be considered at the entrance for student safety and left the record open for related language.
Staff presented Lee County DOT's traffic-impact analysis showing the proposed RPD generates fewer trips than the hypothetical maximum number of units that could be allowed under RS3 if public utilities were extended. The examiner pressed staff and the applicant on how the comparison was made and confirmed the TIS conclusion that existing insufficient levels of service on Sunshine Boulevard were forecast with or without the development.
The examiner raised school-safety concerns because the development has a single entry/exit and noted the school district told staff the development could create short-term school capacity impacts if units were occupied before planned school openings in 2027–28. The examiner asked whether the project could include a small area near the entrance to accommodate school-bus congregating or parent pickup to reduce hazards; she left the record open until Aug. 28 for the applicant and staff to propose language to address that accommodation.
