City of EUgene - Kaufman House Page 16 Code Amendment/Zone Change: Creation of Historic Speci~l Area Zone Satre Associates, P.C. August 5, 2004 generates 100 triPs .or more per peak hour will reqUire a Traffic Impact.Analysis in compliance with EC 9.8650. Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) OAR 660-012-0060 states that land use changes that significantly affect a transportation facility shall require mitigation measures to address the anticipated impact. Specifically, 'the OAR states: (I) Amendments to functional plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans, and land use regUlations which significantly affect a transportation facility shall assure that allowed land uses are consistent with the iidentified function, capacity, and performance standards (e.g. level of service, volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. This sh'all be accomplished by either: (a) Limiting allowed land uses to be COnsistent with the planned function' capacity, and performance standards of the transportation facility; (b) Amending the T~P to provide transportation facilities adequate to support the proposed land uses consistent with the requirements of this division; (c) Altering land use designations, densities, or design requirements to reduce demand for automobile travel and meet travel needs through other modes; or (d) Amending the TSP to modify the P ~anned function, capacity and performance standat;ds, as needed, to accept greater motor vehicle congestion to promote mixed use, pedestrian friendly · development where multimodal travel choices are provided. (2) A plan or land use regUlation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it: (a) Changes the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (b) Changes standards implementing a functional classification system; (c) Allows types or levels of land uses which would result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification ora transportation facility; or. (d) }Yould reduce the performance standards of the facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in the TSp. The proposed code amendment does not change the functional. classification of any transportation facility or standards implementing a functional clasSification system; thus subsections 2(a) and (b) do not apply. With regard to subsection 2(c), the proposed amendment will not allow the'types of travel or access to area streets that are inconsistent with their'functional classification. Table 1 below shows a comparison of trips generated by currently, existing, allowed, and proposed uses on the property. The trip generation rates are based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition. The information shown in Table 1 demonstrates that the highest potential trip generating use on the site is day care. If the building were dedicated fully to day care, the number of total trips' generated on the site (312) is well within the capacity of a medium volume' residential street (750 to 1,500 ADT), considering other land uses located on the same block of 10th Avenue. In addition, current zoning allows day care through a Conditional Use Permit. Other likely scenarios include partial office use and partial residential use, resulting in fewer than 100 daily trips, which does.not represent an increase in daily trips over the number estimated for the existing recreational community center use. Therefore, 33.
