Freedom Crossings Amended and Restated Access Management and Development Agreement

Description

The board gave staff direction on amending the Freedom Crossings access agreement — a new northbound right-in-only access with decel lane on SW 60th Avenue, and protective language on the southbound left-in median — with a public hearing to come.

Impact summary

You'd get a new right-in-only driveway for the planned gas station, pulling some right-turning traffic away from the busier Entrance B; the county keeps the right to yank the Entrance B left turn later.

Board of County Commissioners Planning and Zoning — October 21, 2026

The developer wants to amend a 2009 access agreement to add a northbound right-in-only entrance (future Entrance D) with a 185-foot decel lane on SW 60th Avenue, and to have the agreement recognize the southbound left-in movement the county actually built at Entrance B.

Freedom Crossings access changes on SW 60th Avenue

The developer of Freedom Crossings at SW 95th Street and SW 60th Avenue wants a new right-in-only entrance close to the SW 95th Street signal to serve a gas station/convenience store. The county engineer says it's too close to the intersection and creates conflict points; the developer's consultants say it reduces crashes by pulling right-turning traffic away from the conflicting southbound left turn. The road will come back for a public hearing before anything is final.
