§5-6 Traffic Impact Studies Model Land Use Management Code 501-1,000 5,001 — 10,000 2 miles 1001 or more 10,001 or more 3 miles (g) Inventory of Transportation Facilities in the Study Area. A description of transportation facilities in the study area, including roadway names, locations and functional classifications, intersection lane configurations and traffic control (including signal timing), existing rights-of-way, transit routes and stops (if any), pedestrian and bicycle facilities and planned transportation system improvements. An existing lane configuration sketch shall be submitted for all roadways and intersections within the study area. (h) Site Plan and Development Data. A complete description of the proposed development, including a site plan, with the best available information as to the nature and size of each proposed use and the proposed location and traffic control of all proposed access points, including the distance from all proposed access points to adjacent accesses and/or streets, including those across a street right-of-way from the subject development. (i) Existing Traffic Volumes. Peak and total daily traffic volumes on all arterial, collector and local streets within the study area. Traffic counts should, as a rule, not be more than one year old when the report is prepared. Traffic counts between one and three years old may be used if factored to the current year. Traffic counts older than three years will not be accepted. Q) Facility Performance. Existing performance of the transportation system, including Levels of Service (LOS) and Volume/Capacity ratios (V/C) for all intersections and road segments, as appropriate, within the study area. (k) Trip Generation. Complete trip generation figures for all aspects of the proposed development. The source for trip generation rates shall be "Trip Generation" published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), most recent edition, unless otherwise approved by the Land Use Officer. For developments expected to generate more than thirty (30) trucks per day, the trip generation data shall include separate figures for trucks. If phased development is proposed, the study shall include projections for the year that each phase of the development is planned to be complete. The traffic impact study shall also include trip generation data for any pending and approved developments that would affect the study area. The county [city] shall facilitate the review of applicable files by a qualified professional to determine the names and development characteristics of pending and approved developments in the study area. (1) Trip Distribution and Assignment. Trip distribution for the proposed development. For developments expected to generate more than thirty (30) truck trips per day, the study shall include separate trip distribution figures for trucks. (m) Forecast Traffic Volumes Without the Development. Forecast traffic volumes without the development, on all arterial, collector and local roads within the study area, in the year that the proposed development is planned to commence, and in the horizon year. Qualified professionals should consult city transportation staff for information to determine the most appropriate sources or methods of determining future traffic volumes. If phased development is proposed, the traffic impact study shall include projections for the year that each phase of the development is planned to be complete. (n) Forecast Performance Without the Development. Forecast performance, including Levels of Service (LOS) and Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratios of the transportation system without the development in the year that each phase is planned to be complete and in the horizon year.
