(Replaced by Ordinance No. 177028, effective December 14, 2002.) The traffic
impacts of dividing or developing land may warrant a transportation impact
study. The purpose of a transportation impact study is to assess the effects of
development in the vicinity of a site on traffic conditions and operations;
transit, pedestrians, and bicycle movement; and neighborhood livability. A
transportation impact study may be required under the following situations: A. Where approval criteria for a land use review include a requirement
of adequacy of transportation services and the development proposed through the
review meets or exceeds the following thresholds:
1. Trip generation threshold. More than 100 new vehicle trips will
be generated in the peak direction (inbound or outbound) during the site's
peak traffic hour; or
2. Neighborhood traffic threshold. More than 250 new trips will be
generated per day that are likely to use predominately residential Local
Service Traffic Streets.
B. Safety or operational impacts. Where the City Engineer has
identified potential safety or operational concerns that may be impacted by the
layout of a site or the location or size of driveways for a proposed
development.
