generate impacts costing substantially more to accommodate than the amount of the fee that would be generated by the use of the fee schedule. (B) The individual assessment shall be undertaken through the submission of a traffic impact analysis, which shall include the following information: 1. The projected trip generation rates for the proposed land development activity based on the average daily traffic of the proposed land development activity. Trip generation rates shall be assessed on an average annual basis, and on a peak hour, peak season, peak direction basis. The trip generation rates shall be based upon local empirical surveys of trip generation rates for the same or similar land use types that meet methodological standards acceptable to the transportation engineering profession. If local empirical surveys are not available, state and/or national trip generation rate information maybe used, if it is based on methodological standards acceptable to the transportation engineering profession; 2. The projected trip length and percent new trips for the proposed land development activity based on surveys of similar land use types. Trip length and percent new trips information shall be based upon local empirical surveys of similar land use types or data compiled by the county administrator or his designee for average trip lengths and percent new trips for similar land use types. If local empirical surveys are not available, state and/or national trip length and present new trips information may be used, if it is based on methodological standards acceptable to the transportation engineering profession. 3. The resulting impact fee for the proposed land development activity will be' calculated using the trip generation rate, trip rate, trip length, and percent new trips developed in the preceding sections, along with the current impact fee equation construction cost and credit equation factors. (C) Prior to conducting an individual assessment, the applicant and/or his transportation planner or engineer must schedule a pre -application conference with the county traffic engineer or his designee to review the type of data and analysis needed and acceptable to the county. The traffic impact analysis performed pursuant to section 1010.03(2) shall be submitted by the developer of the proposed land development activity and shall be prepared by qualified professionals in the field of transportation planning or engineering. When completed, the traffic impact analysis shall be submitted to the county administrator, or his designee. (D) Within twenty (20) days of receipt of a traffic impact analysis, the county administrator or his designee shall determine if it is complete. If the county administrator determines the application is not complete, he shall send a written statement specifying the deficiencies by certified mail to the person submitting the application. Unless the deficiencies are corrected, the county administrator shall take no further action on the traffic impact analysis. (E) When the county administrator determines that the traffic impact analysis is complete, he shall notify the applicant of its completeness within (5) days, and he shall review the analysis within twenty (20) days. If it is not reviewed within these timeframes, then the item will be scheduled for the next available board of county commissioners meeting. (F) If on the basis of generally recognized principles of traffic engineering it is determined in the individual assessment that the county's cost to accommodate the • 18
