Policy 5.0.4.4. Mitigating measure(s) shall advance the goals of adopted area or subject matter plans specific to the location of the development/redevelopment such as:
• Neighborhood Revitalization Plans.
• Corridor Revitalization Plans.

Implementation Mechanism:
(a)
Land development regulations developed pursuant to § 163.3202, F.S., and consistent with this policy.
Policy 5.0.4.6. Any development or redevelopment project within the TCEA that impacts roadway segments or intersections outside the TCEA shall be subject to concurrency requirements for those impacts outside the TCEA.
