Capital Hill PUD Page 46 of 67 Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement March 3, 2017 (Revised:June 19, 2017, August 22, 2017) (c) The provisions of the Traffic Impact Analysis Review of EC 9.8650 through 9.8680 where applicable. EC 9.8650 Purpose of Traffic Impact Analysis Review. The purpose of the Traffic Impact Analysis Review is to ensure that developments which will generate a significant amount of traffic, cause an increase in traffic that will contribute to traffic problems in the area or result in levels of service of the roadway system in the vicinity of the development that do not meet adopted levels of service standards provide the facilities necessary to accommodate the traffic impact of the proposed development.... EC 9.8670 Applicability. Traffic Impact Analysis is required when one of the conditions of subsections (1) - (4) of this section exist unless the development is within an area (a) shown on Map 9.8670 Downtown Traffic Impact Analysis Exempt Area, or (b) subject to prior approved Traffic Impact Analysis and is consistent with the impacts analyzed. (1) The development will generate 100 or more vehicle trips during any peak hour as determined by using the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip generation. The development does not generate 100 or more vehicle trips during any peak hour. The majority of proposals for new development generates concerns about additional traffic. Therefore, as an added measure, we have included a traffic analysis to address concerns we heard during the neighborhood meetings and in some of the additional informal (not required) meetings that were held with neighbors and city staff. See attached Traffic Safety Study. (2) The increased traffic resulting from the development will contribute to traffic problems in the area based on current accident rates, traffic volumes or speeds that warrant action under the city's traffic calming program . . See attached Traffic Safety Study. There are no documented accidents in this area. A site visit to Capital Drive would show that there are already traffic calming measures in place. The relative steepness of the street, coupled with narrow corners, would suggest to any reasonable driver that they should proceed slowly. While there will always be drivers that test the limits of safety, it is the driver that makes the road unsafe - not the road itself. (3) The city has performed or reviewed traffic engineering analyses that indicate approval of the development will result in levels of service of the roadway system in the vicinity of the development that do not meet adopted level of service standards. See attached Traffic Safety Study. (4) For development sites that abut a street in the jurisdiction of Lane County, a Traffic Impact Analysis Review is required if the proposed development will generate or receive traffic by vehicles of heavy weight in their operations. The development site will not generate or receive traffic by vehicles of heavy weight in their operations. The development is a residential project. No Traffic Impact Analysis is required as a result of this development proposal. (6) The PUD will not be a significant risk to public health and safety, including but not limited to soil erosion, slope failure, stormwater or flood hazard, or an impediment to emergency response. The geotechnical analysis confirms that the site is geologically stable and adequate for development. The analysis provides construction techniques consistent with industry standards, none of which indicates the existence of unsafe, sub-surface conditions, except in one area of the site. This area has been placed in Tract A, the conservation portion of the site, and is off limits to development of any kind. Any development in that area would have required extensive retaining walls to mitigate for any potential geological hazard issues.
