Capital Hill PUD Traffic Safety Analysis (Revised) May 17, 2017 Drive. Streets that serve residential uses are intended to serve development of residential properties. Construction traffic is not specifically a criterion in the Tentative PUD application; however, since a neighbor raised a concern at the neighborhood meeting related to construction traffic, it is being addressed in this traffic study. The construction traffic generated by this residential development within residentially zoned lands will be consistent with the construction traffic generated by the construction of the existing residential homes neighboring the development. In fact, given current local residential construction trends in subdivisions, it will likely be less due to the economy of scale found in building two or more houses at the same time which reduces redundant traffic from construction trades. Some large cities and other states have ordinances or criteria built into code regarding construction traffic related to residential development. There are no known criteria in the Eugene Tentative PUD application process addressing construction traffic. Due to the size of this proposed development, a traffic study isn't required by code based on the number of trips generated or type of vehicles generated. Neighbors can reasonably expect undeveloped properties to develop with the current zoning and permitted uses. The construction traffic generated by the permitted use via public streets that are open to traffic would be considered compatible in nature because there is no less intensive use possible than the residential zoning and use permissions within the City of Eugene's low density residential zone and as identified in the specific plan area of the South Hills Study. The standard of reasonable compatibility is construed to contemplate that a use will have some level of impact on abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood, but the level of impacts must be minimal relative to the reasonable expectation of occupiers of nearby properties given the zoning and character of the area. The term "minimal impact" recognizes that there will be some impact of uses, but the impact shall be as small as possible if such use is to be allowed with the practicable level of operation as a functional use. For all intents and purposes, the Capital Hill PUD is a residential development. The residential use is allowed outright in the underlying zoning and this development is likely the most compatible neighbor abutting property owners could reasonably expect. This is not a proposal for a commercial or industrial development next to residential homes or another more intrusive use. The level of impact would be as anticipated by the development of vacant property with the proposed number of dwelling units consistent with the South Hills Study. A traditional subdivision would likely result in roughly double the number of lots. 3.4 Pedestrian and Motor Vehicle Accommodations Projected motor vehicle traffic volumes on Capital Drive from Spring Blvd to Cresta De Ruta Street are consistent with a low volume residential local street, per Eugene Local Street Plan (August 1996), which indicates the low-volume residential street design standards and criteria for a new street to serve an average daily traffic volume of between 250 and 750 ADT would include a 45-foot right-of-way width constructed with 21 feet of paving to accommodate a 14 foot single travel lane and one 7-foot parking lane. Low-volume residential street construction is also identified in the City's Local Street Plan to provide two six-foot-wide setback sidewalks with a 6'6" planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk. All internal new and existing abutting street frontages are subject to frontage improvements required by the City of Eugene to meet the standards identified per the applicable functional classification.
