documentation of any deviations from best practices.
· Within a section titled “Traffic Count Data” include: 1. A summary of data
collection efforts in support the project. 2. A description of the type of
count conducted (i.e. manual collection, video collection, tube count, TMC,
etc.) for each facility. 3. A description of the dates and times counts were
collected (including the day of the week, i.e. Monday, Tuesday, etc.). 4. A
description of any peak season adjustment factors applied, and data sources
utilized. 5. A statement as to whether any anomalies were present within the
transportation facility being studied (i.e. construction, special events, road
closures, etc.) that would have potentially impacted data collection efforts,
as well as any data anomalies identified during the collection process. If any
were identified and if there were any mitigating factors, further describe.
· Within a section titled “Trip Generation Summary” include: 1. A tabular
summary of trip generation data for each proposed use. Where possible, include
the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE) Land Use Code, ITE Land Use
Description, and whether average rates or equations were utilized. 2. A
tabular summary of internal capture and pass-by trip adjustments applied, if
any. 3. A description of the data sources used for trip generation, internal
capture and pass-by rates. 4. Statements regarding any special considerations
and supporting data, if any, necessary to support trip generation for uses not
included within the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation
Handbook, latest edition, or where a land use code selected wasn’t an exact
match for a proposed use but was the closest analog available.

· Within a section titled “Trip Distribution Summary” include: 1. A tabular
and/or map summarizing directional distribution percentages. 2. A description
of the data sources and methodology used to determine directional
distribution. 3. When trip distribution deviates from traffic count data
and/or where engineering judgement was utilized, the specific observations,
data and analysis used to support such deviation shall be provided.
· Within a section titled “Safety Considerations” include: 1. A statement
regarding whether or not the applicant is aware of any special safety
considerations for the proposed project access, and the extent to which any
agencies were consulted regarding same (e.g. for projects occurring within or
nearby a school zone, whether the Hillsborough County Public Works Department
Traffic Operations Section was consulted, and if so, provide documentation
regarding the substance and outcome of such conversations). 2. Where projects
provide stubouts for future roadway extension, the analysis shall include a
discussion regarding the configuration and design of internal roadway networks
(i.e. how the project will be designed to minimize unplanned cut-through
traffic), design/safety considerations relative to the proposed access/ cross-
access, and quantification of trips likely to use such access/cross-access and
any safety/design considerations or recommendations related thereto (i.e.
proposed traffic control devices, traffic calming or other design
recommendations), which shall also be included in the access “Recommendations
Section”.
· Within a section titled “Access Recommendations” include: 1. A description
of all recommended site access and any other proposed roadway or intersection
improvements, median modifications, etc. 2. A description of recommended new
traffic control or traffic calming devices, if any, whether internal or
external to the project. 3. A table summarizing access management
recommendations which includes: a. Number of Trips by Specific Movement b.
Turn Lane Warranted for Each Specific Movement (Yes/No) c. Minimum 95% Queue
Length per Synchro d. Minimum Queue Required Per TTM e. Minimum Turn Lane
Length Required f. Minimum Turn Lane Length Proposed

not required, can provide additional graphics showing pass-by if desired.
If the application if for a Public-School Facility, Private or Charter School,
the applicant shall be required to meet with Development Services staff to
determine a methodology for additional analysis which may be required. For
Private and Charter Schools, such analysis shall include the additional
requirements contained within Section 6.03.13 of the Hillsborough County Land
Development Code.

Required Transportation Analysis (continued)
Requirements
For all other applications, transportation review staff may require additional
analysis if, in staff’s sole discretion, project development may create
traffic safety issues or otherwise result in potentially unsafe conditions, or
where necessary to properly analyze project access. All such additional
required analyses shall be Signed and Sealed by a Professional Engineer (PE)
or prepared by a Professional Transportation Planner® (PTP) or American
Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) accredited professional. Any additional
support information which may be required as determined by Hillsborough
County.
Requests for exceptions to any of the above identified requirements shall be
made in writing to the County Engineer or their designee.

Planned Development request include Part 6.05.00 (Parking/Loading), Part
6.06.00 (Landscaping/Buffering), and Part 6.07.00 (Fences/Walls). Does the
request include a variation from non-district regulations? q No q Yes If yes,
indicate each variation being requested
in the space below. (example: A variation to Section 6.06.06 to allow a

Variations Criteria Review Form
For each variation being requested, you must provide a detailed response to
each of the following criteria. If additional space is needed, please attach
extra pages to this application. 1. Explain how the variation is necessary to
achieve creative, innovative, and/or mixed-use development that could
not be accommodated by strict adherence to current regulations.
2. Explain how the variation is mitigated through enhanced design features. Design Features must be clearly indicated on the site plan and the applicant must demonstrate how the feature is proportionate to the degree of variation being requested.
3. Explain how the variation is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Hillsborough County Land Development Code.
4. Explain how the variation will not substantially interfere with or injure the rights of the adjacent property owners.
