Executive Summary (General Business): Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, is requesting City Council approval of a concept plan to allow for the construction of a dedicated pathway for autonomous vehicle service on city owned right-of-way to serve the Telaro Subdivision. Telaro is a residential subdivision that is being developed by Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC. A final subdivision plat was approved on March 22, 2021 (Res. 21-R33). Telaro is located south of SW Discovery Way, west of SW Village Parkway, east of SW Community Boulevard, and north of the E/W 2 right-of-way. Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, would like to extend the autonomous vehicle service known as BEEP or TIM (Tradition in Motion) that is currently providing service to the Manderlie subdivision to the Telaro subdivision. Manderlie is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of SW Discovery Way and SW Community Boulevard. The autonomous vehicle service would run in a dedicated pathway outside the travel lanes along the south side of SW Discovery Way between SW Community Boulevard and SW Village Parkway. The route would then extend south along the west side of SW Village Parkway and terminate at the E/W 2 road right-of-way. The intent is for the autonomous vehicle shuttle service to be a component of Tradition Trail.
