§ 27-473. Transportation analysis.

Any new development or substantial redevelopment project within the city that is estimated by the city manager or designee to generate five hundred (500) or more average daily trips, and/or fifty (50) or more peak hour trips, shall be required to undertake a traffic impact study. The purpose of the study shall be to identify and assess on-site, near site and off-site transportation improvement needs related to the project within one-half mile of the property. Trip estimates shall be based on trip generation rates from the most current edition of "Trip Generation" (published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers). Trip generation rates from other sources may be used if the developer demonstrates to the city's satisfaction that the alternative source better reflects local conditions. In addition, the city manager or designee may waive the study requirement or otherwise adjust the study area boundaries based upon a reasonable determination that the project will not unduly impact the existing public transportation system.
