VI. - Change in use.

(1)

Properties with access connections that do not meet the requirements of the U.S. 19 Overlay District shall be brought into compliance with the U.S. 19 Overlay District when modifications to the roadway are made or when there is a significant change in use of the property, including land, structures or facilities, resulting in an increase in the trip generation of the property exceeding 25 percent (either peak hour or daily) and exceeding 100 vehicles per day, as determined by one of the following methods:

a.

An estimation based on the latest edition of "Trip Generation" by the Institute of Transportation Engineers for typical land uses; or

b.

Traffic counts made at similar traffic generators located in the area; or

c.

Actual traffic monitoring conducted during the peak hour of the adjacent roadway traffic for the property.

(2)

Where such additional traffic is projected due to expansion or redevelopment, the Levy County Development Department shall notify FDOT and the property owner shall contact FDOT to determine if a new permit application and modifications to existing connections will be required. Failure to contact FDOT prior to initiating a change to the property may result in revocation or modification of the existing permit and closure of the connection as specified in FDOT Rule Section 14-96.011(2).

(3)

If the principal activity on a parcel with access connections that do not meet the regulations herein is discontinued or out of service for a period of one year or more, then that parcel must comply with all applicable access requirements of this overlay district.
