"- LOS standards should apply only to the roadway directly <br />serving the project. The ordinance amendment includes <br />definitions for insignificant project, significant projects, <br />and directly accessed roadway, was well as a provision <br />limiting the application of LOS standards for small projects <br />to those major roadways directly serving the project. <br />Minimum lane width - Currently, there is a conflict between <br />the parking regulations and site plan regulations regarding <br />minimum one-way driveway widths. While the parking ordinance <br />establishes an 11' minimum width, the site plan ordinance <br />specifies a 12' minimum width. <br />Through application of the present ordinance, staff has found <br />that eleven foot driving lanes can adequately accommodate one <br />way drives. Therefore, the amendment proposes a reduction of <br />the minimum width of one way drives from twelve to eleven <br />feet, bringing the site plan and parking regulations into <br />consistency. <br />Marginal Access - Staff has revised the marginal access <br />requirements to clarify the section. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt <br />the recommended ordinance amendment. <br />Robert Keating, Director of Planning & Development, reviewed <br />the following proposed amendments: <br />INTERSECTIONS <br />... Defines major intersections <br />... Differentiates LOS (Level of Service ) Analysis by <br />intersection type <br />-- Signalized intersection: CMA <br />-- Unsignalized intersection: warrant criteria <br />LOS STANDARDS <br />...Clarifies that peak season standard relates to peak <br />hour/peak season <br />... Identifies limits of LOS analysis for small (insignificant) <br />projects <br />... Limits insignificant project LOS analysis to directly <br />accessed links <br />...
