| The
Model Form-Base Code for Pre-Platted Corridors and the Public Design
Manual has been prepared by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council through the sponsorship of the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) and the St. Lucie County Transportation Planning Organization
(TPO) in partnership with the City of Port St. Lucie.
The model code was based upon the
Becker Road Charrette held in November 2005 in the City of Port
St. Lucie. The Becker Road Citizens’ Master Plan lays out
a strategy for the 4.1-mile long corridor to encourage development
that will improve the quality of life within the surrounding neighborhoods
while accommodating expansion of the roadway. The FDOT and TPO recognized
that similar corridor conditions exist repeatedly throughout Florida
and supported codification of the Becker Road plan as a model for
the region. The model form-based code integrates multi-modal travel
choices with sustainable land use patterns. This document provides
the foundation to implement the study’s recommendations locally
and the methodology to apply these strategies on other pre-platted
corridors throughout the region and the state.
