Ordinance 1733-90 - Laserfiche WebLink

• 1 Traffic Engineer identifies more than one development under simultaneous review, cumulative impacts and 2 distribution of mitigation costs may be considered; and 3 2. On transportation facilities where the need to 4 construct improvements, by the horizon year, to a facility would be needed regardless of the proposed 5 development, the adverse traffic impacts of the development will be considered mitigated by a 6 contribution of a share of the costs for the improvements based on the developments percentage of: 7 the total peak hour traffic trips at the horizon year on the facility less existing peak hour traffic 8 volumes. 9 be and the same is hereby amended to read as follows: 10 11 Section 9: 12 A. The Traffic Analysis shall identify and/or include the following three elements: (1 ) the required transportation 13 system improvements as required by this ordinance; (2) the associated planning level cost estimates for said improvements; 14 (3) a proposed Mitigation Plan. The Mitigation Plan shall consist of a combination of the following four elements as 15 determined by the City' s Traffic Engineer: a) the proposed improvements required to be constructed by the applicant; b) the 16 contribution to the City for the development' s fair share costs of identified future transportation improvements; c) proposed 17 methods of compliance with the requirements of Section 10 (B) and 10 (D) , of this ordinance; d) proposed methods of compliance 18 with the requirements of all adopted Local Transportation Plans within the Study Area. 19 The City has the authority to establish and adopt Local 20 Transportation Plans. A Local Transportation Plan is a plan established and adopted by the City for the purposes of limiting 21 the transportation impacts to the extent practical within a defined Local area. The development of a Local Transportation 22 Plan may, with the concurrence of the project proponent, delay the issuance of the SEPA threshold determination. 23 B. The project proponent is required to mitigate the 24 transportation facility to an acceptable Level of Service or to maintain an acceptable Level of Service on any transportation 25 facility in the Study Area. The acceptability of Levels of Service is defined in 1 , 2, and 3 below: 26 1 . Level of Service "A" through "D" is considered 27 acceptable. 28 2. When the City' s Traffic Engineer and the Responsible Official determine that the required mitigating 29 improvements, to create or maintain a Level of Service of "D" or better, are practical , Level of 30 Service "E" or "F" is considered not acceptable unless City Council has approved Level of Service "E" 31 or "F" as provided for herein. 32 4
