Ordinance 753-81 - Laserfiche WebLink

K. Transportation/Circulation To approve street designs which are beneficial to the public in consideration of vehicular and pedestrian safety, efficiency of service, influence on the amenities and liveability of the community, and economy of both construction and the use of land. To encourage increased traffic volumes only in areas with sufficient capacity to provide safe and efficient traffic flow or where adequate traffic improvements will be provided in conjunction with the development. To require adequate vehicular and pedestrian access to new developments, and minimize pedestrian- vehicular conflict points. To approve local street systems which are designed to minimize through traffic movements, to discourage excessive speeds, to minimize the need for circuitous travel; and which are designed for a relatively uniform low volume of traffic. To facilitate, to the extent possible, maximum efficiency and safety to the through street systems. To require adequate off-street parking to be determined by proposed land use, zoning, potential future use, and contributing factors. To encourage projects which would have the potential to increase the use of public transportation systems, and reduce the unnecessary use of energy resources and the generation of pollutants. L. Public Services To encourage and approve development only where adequate public services, including fire and police protection, are available or will be made available to serve the proposal.
