<br />City, Lane County and 0001' statTwere consulted in the scoping and development of the TIA and <br />generally agree that the analysis methods used in the TIA are acceptable. (The TIA determined that <br />no further examination was needed for any state facilities than as provided in Appendix G). The <br />TIA included analysis of the following existing transportation facilities: <br /> <br />~ _. __ 'm.. .._._ <br /> <br />I!

Regarding planned <br />transportation facilities, the TIA states that the City's Transportation System Plan (TransPlan) <br />provides for "financially constrained un-programmed" (projects planned for construction but may <br />not have funding sources identified) improvements to Hunsaker Lane, which include on-street <br />bicycle lancs and other upgrades to urban standards. The Regional Transportation Program also <br />identifies those planned improvements for Hunsaker Lane. Relerral comments do not indicate any <br />other planned facilities. <br /> <br />Determination ofSign~ficant ~Jfect <br />The TPR requires a determination of which existing and planned transportation facilities will <br />experience a significant effect as a result of the proposed plan amendment, and defines what <br />constitutes a significant effect. One way in which an amendment will significantly affect an <br />existing or planned transportation facility is, if at the end of the planning period, the amendment <br />will reduce the performance of a transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance <br />standard or will worsen the performance of a transportation facility that is othenvise projected to <br />perform belo\v the minimum acceptable performance standard (OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(B) and <br />(C)), <br /> <br />In determining whether there is a significant ef1ect, different measurements are used to identify and <br />analyze each facility for the minimum level of performance standard. Level of Service 0 (LOS D) <br />is the minimum acceptable performance standard for City of Eugene. As identified in TransPlan, <br />LOS A represents the least congested conditions and LOS F the most congested. The Lane Countv <br />Transportation System Plan indicates that the volume to capacity (vie) ratio of 0.85 is considered <br />the minimum acceptable performance standard for Lane County facilities. As found below, the vie <br />performance standard is the focus of the proposed mitigation because a Lane County facility is <br />determined to be significantly affected. <br /> <br />The end of the planning period in the City's adopted transportation system plan (TransPlan) is 2015, <br />During the TIA scoping process, based on input from teclmical staff from ODOr, Lane County and <br />City, the applicant's analysis under OAR 660-012-0060 extends the planning period to 2022, \vhich <br /> <br />Staff Findings ...
