Policy 1.4: Ne A development project shall be approved for purposes of transportation concurrency if the projected impacts of the project does not reduce service levels of any roadway on the traffic circulation system below the standards identified in Policy 1.1, or if proportionate share for the identified roadway improvement is provided. Conditions applicable to this policy are as follows: • Development projects 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, and DRI development order approval. Projected project traffic shall be based on the application of ITE trip rates(Trip Generation, 127th 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 plus 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 and appropriate adjustment factors. As an alternative, capacity may be determined by ART-PLAN analysis, HCM analysis, speed delay studies, or other generally accepted capacity determination methodology approved by the Public Works Director. 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 three years of the county's adopted five 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 eCounty through its land development regulations, shall require submission of a traffic impact study for all projects : - . _ - . - . . !! . - . .. . in compliance with Code of Ordinances Chapter 952707, as well as for assessing consistency with adopted level of service standards. Minimum requirements for traffic impact studios are described below: specialize in traffic impact studies. :•:." : . . . . . . . • • - -- . . - - • - ., e(a)i the p ect C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\9ec5cab0-071a-4938-8838-22e53bcab073.docx 39 249
