§ 61.100. Purpose of Requirements for Design Along Thoroughfares.  


Latest version.
  • The design requirements of this Part are intended to recognize that Orlando's thoroughfares serve two divergent functions: moving traffic between dispersed parts of the City, and providing public access to individual properties located on the thoroughfare. Because of the conflicting requirements of these two functions, the traffic movement function of thoroughfares can be compromised by the provision of access to individual properties. It is the purpose of this Part to maintain an appropriate balance between these two thoroughfare functions, recognizing both the rights of property owners to reasonable access and the public purpose of efficient traffic flow.

    Whenever any building site will take vehicular access from a major thoroughfare street designated by Chapter 61, Part 2B, the building site shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of this Part and in accordance with the Access Management Classification System and Standards, Chapter 61, Part 2B, Sections 61.211—61.213.
