TRANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT: Master Thoroughfare Plan
The Master Thoroughfare Plan recommends State Highway 114 to have
between 300 feet and 500 feet of right-of-way and N. Nolen Drive to be a 5-
lane, undivided arterial street with 84 feet of right-of-way. Adequate right-of-
way exists for these roadways.
Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed site will have access via two (2) common access drives. One
drive provides access to N. Nolen Drive while the other drive provides access
to the eastbound access road for State Highway 114. The drives exist and are
currently being used by the Buca Di Beppo restaurant site.
N. Nolen drive is currently a 5-lane, undivided roadway with a continuous,
two-way, center left-turn lane.
State Highway 114 is currently a 6-lane, restricted access roadway with 3-lane
frontage roads on either side. Construction of this roadway was completed in
early 2004.
