EXPLANATION: As part of the re-write of the Land Development Regulations (LDR), this ordinance is proposed to modify the Vehicular Traffic Performance Standards. Currently Article 9 contains Palm Beach County Environmental Standards that are not required to be part of the Wellington LDR.
The Traffic Performance Standards were last updated in 2015. They have been re-ordered, clarified, and streamlined. All traffic performance standards were reviewed by Wellington’s traffic consultant. The standards will be moved from Article 15 and now be known as Article 9.
On December 13, 2017, this item was heard by the Planning, Zoning, and Adjustment Board. The Board recommended approval, unanimously, with a 7-0 vote.
