Exhibit B Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) Analysis (a)Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; Response: Even under a reasonable worst case scenario, the proposed amendment will not result in uses that generate traffic volumes sufficient to warrant changes in the functional classification of roadways abutting or near the subject site. Because the Plan diagram amendment and zone change do not alter the functional classification of any existing or planned roadway, the proposal does not trigger the above criterion to determine that the amendment would have a “significant effect.” (b)Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or Response: The proposed Plan diagram amendment and zone change do not alter any standards implementing the City’s functional classification system.

This reduction may diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment. (A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such that it would not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or (C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan.
