AUGUSTINE MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Board DATE: June 26, 2018 RE: 3(a) Workshop · Introduction and Discussion related to the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) for the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan The second group from the Comprehensive Plan to discuss includes the Transportation Element, and the Infrastructure Element. These elements start· to address specific topics that include data, and evaluations of current capacity, as well as, projections of capacity into the future. The Comprehensive Plan is required to have two (2) planning timeframes, short and long term. This update will include a five (5) year (2025), and a 20 year (2040) timeframe. At the May PZB meeting background information was enclosed for your review, and potential Local Issues related to the Elements were discussed. Some transportation related issues, such as, general traffic congestion, tourist traffic, and mobility and parking issues were discussed to include, for example, bicycles and pedestrians, discourage cut through traffic, and separate types of traffic -like local traffic versus tourist traffic. It was noted that the City should develop strategies to encourage multimodal transportation efforts; protect quality of life, encourage livability improvements, and to safeguard neighborhoods. Attached for your information is information related to current traffic counts ·on certain roadways, FDOT projects listed in their programming, and an outline defining certain concepts and describing aspects of transportation planning. Additionally, find attached maps showing the traffic distribution, population growth and density information, references to statutes, and an FDOT memorandum describing Context Classification Again, this process is a two (2) year process. Each meeting will include discussion of each topic with additional information provided to recommendrelated Local Issues. At this point the PZB is focused on identifying broad issues that should be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan update. If you have any questions or require additional information please contact myself or David Birchim at our office by calling (904) 825-1065 or by email at either [email protected] or [email protected]. 6/flKA---: Amy McClure Skinner Deputy Director Transportation Element Introduction Purpose Analysis of Existing Conditions Current Level of Service Description of Changes Since the Previous Plan Population Tourism Surrounding Areas Analysis of Projections - impact on roadways Mobility Planning - programming Relationship to Land Use Plan Conclusion Identified Local Transportation Issues • Mobility Planning, and associated mobility fees, if any • Multimodal transportation options - pedeshian improvements, bicycles, other modes, and implications on the network • Parking issues • Identifying different users, and needs - locals, business, visitors Transportation Element Effective transportation planning and investment can support desired qualities in a community. Defining those qualities to enhance them and encourage a "livable", sustainable community is the key. Sustainable transportation issues include environmental responsibility, and promoting areas where people can live, work, learn, play and shop.

AUGUSTINE 5.0 HISTORIC PRESERVATION STRATEGIES 6.0 IMPLEMENTATION APPENDICES (to be provided) Resources DRAFTS.W.O.T Analysis DRAFT Introduction1 DRAFT Introduction The rich and varied history of St. Augustine has been a key component of its vitality and growth. The development pressures associated with the city’s desirability for residents, businesses and tourists is altering the historic nature and character of St. Augustine at what appears today to be an alarming pace. While development pressure is a man-made threat the city is also facing a natural threat associated with rising sea levels. With the threats affecting St. Augustine’s historic, neighborhood character, there is a rising desire to balance necessary change with preservation in a way that the city’s essential culture and sense of place is protected and maintained. The goal of this Historic Preservation Master Plan (Plan) is to identify goals, strategies and policies to support the continued preservation of the city and its diverse, neighborhood culture for future generations. While the historic character of St. Augustine has been a key element in the city’s economic success, it is also posing or heightening certain challenges: • Tourism: Tourism is the largest economy in St. Augustine, but the demands of tourists are encouraging modifications

  • Anastasia State Park Real Florida Guide
    Anastasia State Park Real Florida Guide Note: Colored numbers correspond with numbers on the map and represent destinations for each day. Red = Day 1, Green = Days 2 & 3 and Blue = Day 4. Day 1 With more than four miles of beautiful, white sandy beaches, Anastasia State Park (1) is an excellent place to establish your base camp while you explore this spectacular coastline, rich in history and culture. Enjoy at least a whole day (if not longer) in the park itself. Stroll the pristine beach, explore the estuarine tidal marsh teeming with plant and animal life, or hike the self-guided nature trail which takes you through the maritime hammock and onto ancient sand dunes. Known as South Beach to locals, and acquired by the state of Florida in 1949, Anastasia State Park is located near historic St. Augustine, on Anastasia Island. The park boasts a broad beach and lagoon bordered by rich tidal marshes and has long been a favorite playground for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The park includes 1,600 acres of rich ecosystems and abundant wildlife and is a site on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. Within the park you can also visit the Coquina Quarry, an archaeological site where coquina rock was mined to help construct the nearby historic Castillo de San Marcos. Day 2 & 3 The city of St. Augustine (2) commemorated its 450th anniversary in 2015 as the oldest continuous European settlement in the United States. There is so much to see and do that two days may be in order to explore the rich layers of history.

    Corridor Story 9.0 CORRIDOR STORY A. Introduction wind, and the salty aerosol that it carries. The plants are stunted in shape and form. Nice examples of salt pruning are to be seen along the west side of the highway north of Vilano, the north end of St. Augustine Beach, and south of Owens Avenue, where Anastasia Island begins to narrow precipitously as one approaches Crescent Beach. THE ESTUARY - The high dunes behind the beach protect the long lagoon that runs through the marshes. Freshwater runoff from the east coast of Florida (the Florida east coast drainage) flows into this area and constitutes part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The lagoon and its surrounding marshes constitute the estuary, which is, unlike the beach, enormously productive and, therefore, a source of food for animals and human beings. The Beach Productivity here refers to the conversion of sunlight Scenic and Historic A1A is a 52.14-mile segment of into organic material.

As a result, Atlantic Coast historic properties reflecting 14 cultural heritage face degradation or destruction. Numerous scientific studies project that 15 sea level rise will likely inundate shorelines, increase the frequency of flood events, and 16 augment wave damage from severe storms. These natural occurrences worsened by sea 17 level rise could diminish a community’s identity and quality of life, often represented by 18 National Register historic districts. To minimize the threat, strategies to adapt to sea level 19 rise can offer protection for communities and their irreplaceable historic resources. 20 To determine a course of action, my thesis question is: How can hard, soft, and 21 non-structural adaptation methods be applied to protect the cultural heritage of National 22 Register historic districts from the impacts of sea level rise?
