ORDINANCE 2007-033 EXHIBIT A POLICY 1.4: 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: 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. ° Projected project traffic shall be based on the application of ITE trip rates (Trip Generation, 5+h 7"' Edition or subsequent editions), Indian River County trip rates, or applicant derived/county approved trip rates for the proposed use(s) to the project. Existing service level will be derived by using the peak hour/peak season/peak direction traffic volume ranges Volume shall be the sum of existing demand Ius committed demand. This is described in the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element. ° Capacity shall be calculated as specified in the state road category of the appropriate table in the most current version of Florida's Level of Service Handbook, using peak hour/peak season/peak direction default table assumptions. As an alternative, capacity may be determined by ART -PLAN analysis, HCM analysis, or speed delay studies. For capacity determination purposes, a roadway improvement may be considered to be in place and the capacity to be provided by the improvement may be counted as available if the referenced improvement is listed in the first five years of the county's adopted Seven Year Schedule of Capital Improvements (appendix A of the Capital Improvements Element) or in the first three years of the adopted Florida Department of Transportation five year work program, is scheduled to be under construction not more than three years after issuance of the project's first building permit, and where the county issues a development order for the project needing the improvement approving this allowance. If based on the above analysis the proposed development does not meet approval requirements, the developer may choose to conduct a more detailed traffic impact analysis as described in Policy 1.5. POLICY 1.5: The county, through its ' land development regulations, shall require submission of a traffic impact ana-l-ysis titud for all projects projected to generate/attract 1000 or more average daily trips, of 54 pewouf tFips•
