<br /> McMahon <br />Mr. pointed out that the County wants to try to ensure that when they <br />add up existing traffic and development traffic they catch the worst situation. <br /> <br />Traffic Engineer Mora related that staff was thinking of having the consultants look <br />at AM peak-hour, not on the basis of concurrency, but on the basis of traffic operations. <br /> <br />Mr. Kim <br />For large projects, such as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI), <br />recommended allowing the use of the ITE matrix in the trip generation handbook. Discussion <br />ensued regarding developing internalization for large, mixed-use projects. <br /> <br />Mr. Kim <br /> recommended permitting the use of a manual method for estimation of <br />project traffic distribution, giving staff flexibility. He said IRC should establish a de minimis <br />criteria that includes those projects whose peak-hour, peak-season directional vehicle trips <br />assigned to a roadway are less than one percent of a roadway’s adopted LOS. This <br />recommendation was followed by a lengthy discussion, and Director Keating explained the <br />different types of de minimis and provided examples. <br /> <br />Mr. Kim <br /> recommended concurrency to begin once they completed the traffic <br />impact study, and subsequently when the development order is approved; IRC should require <br />the impact fees be paid within 6 months from the date of the development order approval; and <br />IRC should include subdivisions approved prior to 1990 in the concurrency database. A <br />lengthy discussion followed this recommendation. <br /> <br />Administrator Joseph Baird thought subdivisions approved prior to 1990 should <br />not be counted in concurrency, and he suggested that staff account for an absorption factor. <br /> <br />Bob Bruce <br />, Vice Chairman of P&Z, disagreed. He felt the County needs to <br />anticipate traffic and have a seat for every car. <br />MAY 23, 2006 <br />4 <br />JOINT WORKSHOP P&Z/BCC <br /> <br />
