2. Extent of Study Area. The applicant and the City Traffic Engineer, or designee shall <br />agree on the defined study area prior to commencement of the preparation of the TIA. The analysis <br />must include an examination of all site access drives, adjacent roadways, and other roadways and <br />intersections that will receive 50 or more additional peak hour trips as a result of completion of the <br />proposed development or land use application. <br />3. Selection of Horizon Years for Data Required by R-9.8650-F-4 to F-11. <br />Where a standard in R-9.8650-F-4 to F-11 specifically requires data just for existing <br />conditions, the TIA only needs to address the circumstances at the time of the application. For all <br />other standards in R-9.8650-F-4 to F-11, data shall be provided as follows: <br />3.1 For projects that are not phased, the TIA shall assess the traffic conditions at <br />the time of the application, those expected at the anticipated time of completion of the. entire <br />project, and at 5 years after completion. <br />3.2 For projects that are phased, the TIA shall assess the traffic conditions at the <br />time: of the application, those expected at the anticipated time of completion of each phase, <br />and at 5 years after completion of the entire project. <br />4. Study Area Data. The TIA must include the following data. The information is <br />available from the City, other impacted jurisdictions, or may be obtained in the field. (See TIA <br />Format, Exhibit A; included for reference, but not adopted.) <br />4.1 Traffic Volumes. <br />4.1.1 Daily and hourly traffic counts that verify traffic growth and peak hour <br />times for the year prior to application on each street within the study area that carries <br />traffic directly to or from the proposed development. <br />4.1.2 Intersection turning movement counts at all intersections within the <br />study area to quantify existing traffic volumes and patterns. <br />4.1.3 Percentage of traffic that consists of heavy vehicles, including trucks <br />and buses; for daily and peak periods. <br />4.1.4 Pedestrian and bicyclist counts. <br />4.1.5 Daily and peak hour volumes for the intersections identified in 4.1.2, <br />and the proposed access points. <br />4.1.6 A determination of the need for YIELD; STOP, .Traffic Signals, or <br />other traffic control devices at any horizon year, based on warrants in the current <br />edition of the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD). <br />4.2 Land Use. <br />4.2.1 Existing zoning; land use designations, densities, and occupancy of <br />lots within 500 feet of the development site. <br />4.2.2 Other approved development projects and planned completion dates <br />Administrative Order - 4 <br />r:\adminord\rules\Ol stdstial ao.wpd(12/06/01) <br />
