of those street tree(s) has been approved, or approved with conditions <br />according to the process at EC 6.305. <br />EC 6.305(3) prohibits removal of street trees without a permit and establishes the city's authority <br />to require replacement of removed trees. The applicant proposes to remove existing street trees <br />as part of the proposed improvements to Capital Drive. Removal of these trees must be <br />authorized through the Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) permit process, along <br />with payment of appraised values. To ensure that street trees are removed and replaced in <br />accordance with City standards, this approval is subject to the following condition of approval: <br />• The final PUD plans shall note that street tree removals must meet the permit and <br />replacement value requirements of EC 6.305. <br />EC 9.8320(5): The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through <br />compliance with the following: <br />(a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other <br />Public Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (11) below). <br />(b) Pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation, including related facilities, as <br />needed among buildings and related uses on the development site, as well as <br />to adjacent and nearby residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity <br />centers, office parks, and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings <br />to demonstrate consistency with constitutional requirements. "Nearby" <br />means uses within 1/4 mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by <br />pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be <br />used by bicyclists <br />(c) The provisions of the Traffic Impact Analysis Review of EC 9.8650 through <br />9.8680 where applicable. <br />This criterion requires an evaluation of the proposed PUD's transportation system to determine <br />whether it is `safe and adequate' in relation to three specific subsections. It does not, and cannot, <br />require an evaluation of the existing surrounding city street system independent of impact of the <br />proposed development on that system. Rather, it requires an evaluation of the PUD's impact on <br />the existing transportation system within the context of the three subsections. <br />EC 9.8320(5): The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through <br />compliance with the following: <br />(a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other Public <br />Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (11) below). <br />Finding: EC 9.8320(5)(a) requires compliance with the standards for streets, alleys and other <br />public ways set forth in EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875. Each of those standards is addressed as <br />follows: <br />EC 9.6805 Dedication of Public Ways. <br />Hearings Official Decision (PDT 17-1) 40 <br />
