00 <br />In addition, the roadways that afford access to the <br />site, and are included in the study area, shall be <br />identified. <br />Existing and Proposed Roadways and Intersections. <br />Within the study area, the applicant must describe <br />existing roadways and intersections (geometrics and <br />traffic signal control) as well as improvements commit- <br />ted to by government agencies. This would include the <br />nature of the improvement project, its extent, imple- <br />mentation schedule, and the agency or funding source <br />responsible. <br />iv. Existing and Committed Traffic Conditions. A detailed <br />description of the existing traffic conditions, includ- <br />ing the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and the <br />highest average peak hour volume for all collector and <br />arterial roads within the study area shall be provided. <br />The AADT shall be based on a current twenty-four (24) <br />hour traffic count provided by the applicant. The <br />County shall provide the applicant with information <br />regarding all co-mitted development within the bound- <br />aries of the study area and this information shall also <br />be included in the analysis. The current twenty-four <br />(24) hour traffic count shall be adjusted to compensate <br />for seasonal variations. This adjustment shall be <br />determined by utilizing quarterly traffic counts, as <br />supplied by the county. The methodology and as- <br />sumptions underlying the annual adjustment shall be <br />clearly stated. The average peak hour traffic volume <br />shall be the hiohest average peak hour volume for any <br />weekday twenty-four (24) hour period. The applicant <br />shall also describe the existing levels of service <br />(L.O.S.) of all collector and arterial roadways and <br />intersections trithin the study area. <br />Trip Generation. The traffic impact analysis shall <br />include a sunary table listing each type of land use, <br />the size or nu-,ber of duelling units proposed, average <br />trip generate rates utilized (total daily traffic and <br />a.m./p.rn. peaks) and the resulting total trips generat- <br />ea. All methodology and assumptions must be clearly <br />stated. <br />vi. Trip Assignment.. The traffic impact analysis shall <br />describe the utilization of study area roadways by site <br />generated traffic. The anticipated site traffic <br />volumes shall be combined with existing and projected <br />area traffic volumes to describe mainline and turning <br />movement volumes with the site developed as proposed. <br />All traffic will be assigned to existing and planned <br />facilities in a manner consistent with existing traffic <br />patterns and approved by the County. <br />vii. Determination of AnticiRoadwa and Intersection <br />Levels of 5ervtce. Ttie service evels of roadways and <br />intersections within the study area shall be determined <br />based on the trip generation and assignment study <br />including an analysis of existing and committed devel- <br />opment. Level of Service "C" will be the design <br />objective and under no circumstances will Level of <br />Service "D" be acceptable, except during the peak hour <br />or peak season. Whenever level of service is de- <br />termined to be below these minimum standards, develop- <br />ment shall not be permitted unless the applicant <br />provides roadway or other improvements necessary to <br />maintain Level of Service "C" and "D" respectively. <br />viii.Improvements to Roadways and/or Traffic Control <br />Devices. Transportation improvements such as inter- <br />section improvements; additional turning, acceleration <br />or deceleration lanes; modified lane delineations; new <br />-17- <br />
