may be accomplished using experience, judgment, and knowledge of local conditions. <br />8. Transportation Systems and Level of Service Requirements. The TIA shall <br />include: <br />8.1 Roadway and Intersection Capacity. <br />8. 1.1 All streets and intersections contiguous to the development; <br />8.1.2 All streets and intersections that provide direct access to or from the <br />development, regardless of the generated volume of traffic; <br />8.1.3 All streets and intersections off site from the development that will <br />receive 50 or more additional peak-hour vehicular trips upon completion of any <br />phase of the development; <br />8.1.4 Level of Service standards for the completed development as <br />calculated by methods identified in the most current edition of the Transportation <br />Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual or HighwaCapacity Software. Other <br />capacity analysis programs may be used if approved by the City Traffic Engineer, or <br />designee. All intersections and/or street segment links within the study area must be <br />evaluated for capacity. The manual and software contain separate calculations for <br />two-lane and multi-lane free-flow roadways, signalized arterials, and signalized and <br />unsignalized intersections. <br />8.2 Roadway and Intersection Safety. Projected accident rates for off-site streets <br />and intersections that will receive 50 or more additional peak hour trips upon completion of <br />the development, taking into consideration proposed mitigation measures including access <br />restrictions. Accident records must be researched for all critical segment links and <br />intersections within the study area. If accident rates, or patterns of accidents, are forming at <br />certain locations, a determination must be made on whether the probability of these <br />occurrences will increase with the addition of the projected traffic volumes. Examples of <br />recurring accidents include numerous right-angle or rear-end collisions at an intersection, or <br />a high frequency of vehicles leaving the roadway on a horizontal curve. <br />9. Meeting Minimum Level of Service and Safety Standards. The traffic study shall <br />identify mitigation measures to meet a minimum level of service and safety standards. The TIA shall <br />state whether the applicant will have the mitigation measures in place at the time of occupancy of <br />the properties, or if a financial commitment is in place to complete the necessary infrastructure <br />within a reasonable length of time from the approval date of the development. <br />10. On-Site Planning and Parking Principles. <br />10.1 The TIA shall show: <br />10.1.1 How off-site roadway improvements are integrated with on-site <br />circulation patterns; <br />10. 1.2 Driveway traffic volumes, both in terms of queuing space and <br />Administrative Order - 6 <br />r:\adminord\rules\02stdstia2ao.wpd(06/ 19/02) <br />
