Sec. 655.502. - Definitions.

For the purposes of this Part, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivations, shall have the meaning contained below, or as referenced within specific Sections. Definitions of a more general nature regarding concurrency and Mobility are contained in Section 655.105 (Definitions). Division means the Transportation Planning Division of the Planning and Development Department. DIA means the Downtown Investment Authority of the City of Jacksonville. Existing Use means the most recent, documented lawful use. Documentation may include Duval County Property Appraiser Tax Record Cards, building permits, demolition permits, advertising (e.g. number of hotel rooms), real estate listings, internet search on business address, phone listings, Sanborn maps, City GIS maps and aerials, Google Earth aerial photos, and other reliable information sources. ICE means Intersection Control Evaluation as described in the Florida Department of Transportation, ICE Manual. Inflation Factor means the inflation factor calculated and updated regularly by the FDOT in the most recent version of their Transportation Costs Report. Mobility fee. See Section 655.105 (Definitions). Mobility Fee Calculation Certificate ("MFCC") means the official document provided to the owner or developer and kept on file in the CMMS Office memorializing the fee calculated for a development based upon the use(s) proposed and any Trip Reductions that may be applicable. Mobility Fee Calculation Certificates are identified based upon the MFCC application number issued by the CMMSO. Mobility fee credit means a monetary amount that may be used to offset the cost of a Mobility fee. See Section 655.507 , Ordinance Code. Mobility Zone means a defined geographic area, as depicted in the Transportation and Capital Improvements Elements of the Comprehensive Plan, on line at http://jaxgis.coj.net/landdevelopmentreview/# and in Figure 1 below, that is delineated so that its area is approximately equal to the average trip length of the underlying Development Area. Figure 1 - Ten Mobility Zones in Duval County Mode means either Motorized (Corridor or Transit) or Non-motorized (Bike and Pedestrian) manner of travel. The four types of Modes of travel discussed in this Chapter are: (1) Corridor; (2) Bicycle; (3) Pedestrian; and (4) Transit. Mode, Bicycle means projects that are new standalone bicycle lanes (standard, buffered, protected or off road multiuse paths) or new bicycle signing and pavement markings constructed separate from corridor projects. Mode, Corridor means road corridor projects that include a wide array of improvements that increase capacity such as by constructing new roads or changing lane configurations, widening an existing road, moving curbs to accommodate bicycle travel, improving access management, upgrading railroad crossings to accommodate all modes, and include intelligent transportation system (ITS) upgrades. Road corridor projects include improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities in accordance with the City of Jacksonville context-sensitive street design standard typical sections. Mode, Pedestrian means projects that are standalone sidewalks or multiuse paths constructed for pedestrians separate from corridor projects. Mode, Transit means projects approved by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority to include mobility hubs, ferry terminal multimodal connectivity enhancements, bus rapid transit infrastructure such as corridor ITS upgrades and new lane assignments for buses. Transit projects refer to infrastructure capacity only and do not include buses or bus operations. MSP means a Mobility System Project identified in the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan for either Motorized or Non-motorized Modes of transportation. PMP means a Proposed Mobility Project that is a multi-modal transportation improvement that is not an MSP, but that meets the criteria for the proposed Mode pursuant to Section 655.507 , Ordinance Code and eligible for Mobility fee credit. SCA means Safety Concern Area, which is based upon the previous three years of locations of concentrated severe and fatal collisions. SCA maps are available on the Transportation Planning Division of the Planning and Development Department's website. Transit facility means those modes of public mass transportation operated by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority. Transit Oriented Development or TOD , pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, means a mixed-use medium to high density development in areas served or planned to be served by mass transit. Sites located within ½ mile distance from the Jacksonville Transit Authority's (JTA) planned Rapid Transit System (RTS); located in close proximity to a road classified as an arterial or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map; and supplied with full urban services are presumed to be appropriate for TOD, subject to a case-by-case review of consistency with State and regional plans, the Comprehensive Plan, and adopted neighborhood plans and studies. To be considered a TOD, a site will generally need to be compact and connected, as defined in the Transportation Element, and as otherwise defined in the current Comprehensive Plan. Trip Reduction means a reduction in gross vehicle trips generated by a development based upon internal capture, pass-by, diverted link, Transit Oriented Development, transit stop proximity, as described in the CMMS Handbook, and/or the elimination of an Existing Use, as described in Sec. 655.503 , Ordinance Code. TRIPS means the Targeted Roadway Improvements for Pedestrian Safety including the pedestrian safety and/or access improvements as listed in the Handbook. V/C ratio means the volume of vehicles on the roadway compared to the maximum service volume of the roadway. VMT means Vehicle Miles Traveled. (Ord. 2011-536-E, § 1; Ord. 2022-909-E , § 7)
