Role/jurisdiction: Fast-growth suburban county north of Tampa (SR 54/56 corridor, Wesley Chapel, Trinity). County review covers unincorporated Pasco; six municipalities (Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San Antonio, St. Leo, Zephyrhills) have their own land development codes. Development review runs through Planning & Development (electronic submittal via Accela Citizen Access); signals/operations through the Traffic Operations Division; capital roads through Engineering Services. The Pasco County MPO is staffed in-house at the county.
Known starting points (resolved 2026-07-08 unless tagged):
- Mobility fees confirmed: Pasco replaced road impact fees/concurrency with multimodal mobility fees — LDC § 1302.2 Mobility Fees; posted fee schedule effective 2022-01-01, and the ordinance requires a fee update every ~3 years, so confirm the current schedule at intake
#status/verify. - Traffic Operations intake confirmed: one front door for studies, calming, signs/signals — the AskTED Transportation Request Form (linked from the Traffic Operations page).
- The county’s old CivicPlus website (
fl-pascocounty.civicplus.com/pascocountyfl.net) is dead — deep links from older reports no longer resolve; current site is pascocountyfl.gov (Revize). Several documents (e.g., traffic calming criteria) survive only in the Wayback Machine — flagged below. - Many key corridors (US 19, US 41, SR 52, SR 54, SR 56) are FDOT District 7 roads — confirm maintaining agency per corridor before citing standards

- TIA/TIS guidelines: governed by the Land Development Code, Chapter 900 — Development Standards (Municode): § 901.5 Transportation Impact Study and § 901.4 Substandard Roadway Analysis and Mitigation. Historical methodology reference: BCC-adopted 2007 TIS Guidelines — “Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) and Substandard Roads” (PDF) with its adopting resolution (PDF) — both still hosted on the county’s legacy agenda server, but pre-date the mobility fee system; confirm current study methodology/scoping at the pre-application consultation
#status/verify. Note mobility fees, not concurrency, are the mitigation framework: LDC § 1302.2 and the county Mobility Fee page (fee chart “PDD21-0499 Mobility Fee Schedules Effective 1-1-2022” posted there; FHWA case study: Pasco County Multimodal Mobility Fee Program). (checked 2026-07-08) - Parking study guidelines / parking code (with section #): LDC § 907 — On-Site Parking, Loading, Stacking, and Lighting Standards (907.1 On-Site Parking; 907.2 Loading; 907.3 Stacking Spaces and Drive-Through Facilities; 907.4 Lighting) — in LDC Chapter 900 on Municode. No standalone county parking study guideline is published online — request reduction/shared-parking study expectations from Planning & Development. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Traffic calming program/guidelines: program confirmed live on the current Traffic Operations page (county discourages speed bumps; uses a calming program for qualifying residential roads; property owners, not the county, pay installation). The detailed criteria sheet is no longer on the current site — last published version is the county’s archived Traffic Calming Program page (Wayback snapshot, 2019): warrants = local residential streets only (no collectors), posted ≤ 30 mph, 85th percentile ≥ 5 mph over posted, pavement width ≤ 24 ft, ADT ≤ 3,000; process = requests from 5 homes → warrant study → petition (75% of owners must respond, 60% of responses affirmative) → BCC public hearing; speed cushions preferred (~$12,000/pair incl. signs & markings); removal petition only after 3 years in place; 5-year wait to re-petition after removal. Confirm current criteria via AskTED before relying on the archived numbers
#status/verify. (checked 2026-07-08) - Complete Streets policy · Vision Zero / Safety Action Plan: no county-adopted Complete Streets policy found online. Safety Action Plan is in progress: “Safe Streets Pasco” — the Pasco County MPO won a $320K federal SS4A planning grant (announced 2024-02-22) for a countywide Transportation Safety Action Plan aligned with FDOT Target Zero; public engagement at Safe Streets Pasco (Social Pinpoint) (blocks automated fetch with 403 but confirmed live 2026-07-08 via direct request). Earlier adopted work: Pasco Countywide Pedestrian Safety Action Plan and Northeast Pasco (The Hills) Multi-Modal Safety Action Plan on the MPO Initiatives page. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Roadway design standards / standard details: no standalone county roadway design manual or standard-details book published online. Street design lives in LDC § 901.6 Street Design and Dedication Requirements (plus § 901.7 Bicycle Facilities, § 901.8 Pedestrian Facilities) in Chapter 900; county work follows the FDOT Florida Greenbook. Published supplement: Pasco County Testing Specifications — Right-of-Way (PDF). Request current typical sections/details from Engineering Services. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Access management standards: LDC § 901.3 Access Management (with § 901.1 Corridor Spacing and § 901.2 Corridor Management) in Chapter 900; a 2024 amendment package to § 901.3 is posted on the county’s LDC Amendments file (2-15-24 draft PDF) — check Municode for the codified current text. Forms: Access Management Application (PDF) and Access Management Alternative Standards Application (PDF). (checked 2026-07-08)
- Traffic count requirements (seasonal factors accepted?): the county does not publish a traffic count database (county open data portal searched 2026-07-08 — signals/roads layers exist, no counts). Traffic Operations conducts counts/speed studies on request via AskTED; use FDOT Florida Traffic Online for state roads. Seasonal-adjustment acceptance for TIS counts is not published — confirm at scoping
#status/verify. (checked 2026-07-08) - Crash/safety dashboard: none published by the county. Crash analysis is being assembled under Safe Streets Pasco (High Injury Network mapping via the engagement site above); otherwise use FDOT State Safety Office GIS (SSOGis) query tool — FDOT crash data page — or Signal Four Analytics (agency login required). (checked 2026-07-08)
- GIS / open data portal: Pasco County GIS Division with a data download page; open data at the Pasco County BOCC ArcGIS Hub (1,000+ items incl. Traffic Signals layer, roads, TAZs, county property); public map viewer: PascoMapper. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Signal timing procedures & maintaining agency: Pasco County Traffic Operations Division operates and maintains the county’s signal system — currently “more than 330 traffic signals, 2,100 streetlights on County owned collector and arterial classified roadways, 130 CCTV cameras,” flashing beacons and school-zone flashers (Traffic Operations). The county’s prior website stated the division maintains all traffic signals in Pasco County and runs an ATMS using SCATS adaptive control on US 19 and portions of SR 54, Little Rd and Ridge Rd (i.e., county-operated signals on state roads) — archived statement (Wayback, 2021); confirm current arrangement per city/corridor
#status/verify. No written signal-timing procedures published — request from Traffic Operations. (checked 2026-07-08) - Development review process & submittal requirements: Development Manual (PDF, updated 2022-05-18) — process companion to the LDC; pre-application consultation required before Zoning Amendment, Conditional Use, Special Exception, PSP, PDP, Minor Rural Subdivision, and Operating Permit applications (LDC 303.5). Submittal checklists (PSP, PDP, construction plans, ROW variants, mass grading) on the Planning & Development Documents & Forms page. Electronic submittal via Accela Citizen Access — Pasco County. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Permit forms (ROW, driveway): Right-of-Way Use Permits are submitted through Building Construction Services — Central Permitting (per the Development Manual): Permits and Forms page; example checklist: ROW — Residential Driveway (PDF). Underlying driveway/ROW rules: Code of Ordinances Chapter 82 — Roads and Bridges (e.g., max single-driveway width 34 ft or 50% of frontage). Traffic Operations reviews ROW permits and MOT plans. (checked 2026-07-08)
- Example projects (ours & public): ours live in the private vault (see callout below); no county-published example TIS submittals found online.
Contacts, review-comment history, and institutional notes live in the private vault — never on the public site.
