TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT POLICY 2.1 No development project shall be approved if the projected impacts of the project would serve to reduce service levels of any roadway on the traffic circulation system below the standards identified in Policy 1.1 Conditions applicable to this policy are as follows: o Development project shall be defined as any activity which requires issuance of a development order. This includes: comprehensive plan amendment, rezonings, site plan approval, preliminary plat approval, preliminary PD approval, DRI development order approval, preliminary PD approval, DRI development order approval, and building permit approval for single family structures. o Projected project traffic shall be based on the application of ITE trip rates (Trip Generation, 4th Edition or subsequent editions), Indian River County trip rates, or applicant derived/county approved trip rates for the proposed use(s) to the project. o Existing service level will be derived by using the peak hour/peak season/peak direction traffic volume ranges or average travel speeds of a link. Volume shall be the sum of existing demand and committed demand. This is described in the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element. o Capacity shall be calculated as specified in the latest edition of Florida's Level of Service Standards and Guidelines Manual, "Generalized Daily Level of Service Maximum Volumes for Florida's Urban/Urbanized Areas", using peak hour/peak season/peak direction default table assumptions. The state roadways portion of the default tables will be used for all such capacity analyses. 1 i uu►�cu .,.. ..,. r. uwiv v V u1.M 1� ui..+, ...... per. .. r,v .. ....� ....... �...
