Residential to Commercial and re-designate 1.3 acres of Commercial to Medium Density Residential), and the performance of the facilities in 2022 without the proposed amendments. The TIA uses a "reasonable worst-case" scenario for C-2 commercial uses (for the portion of the property re-designated to commercial) as depicted on Appendix F of the TlA, and a "reasonable worst-case" scenario for theR-2 uses (for the portion of the property re-designated to Medium Density Residential) based on the maximum allowable density of dwelling units, and anticipated trip generation and distribution during the PM peak hour. Based on the TIA, the proposed commercial and residential uses are anticipated to generate 361 trips in the PM peak hour. City, Lane County and ODOT staff were consulted in the scoping and development of the TIA and generally agree that the analysis methods used in the TIA are acceptable. (The TIA determined that no further examination was needed for any state facilities than as provided in Appendix G). The TIA included analysis of the following existing transportation facilities: Transportation. Facilities Street C lass ificatil:m Jurisdiction Hunsaker Lane!

Access Local City of Eugene In addition to including the above existing transportation facilities, the TIA also included discussion of planned transportation facilities, as required by OAR 660-012-0060(1). Regarding planned transportation facilities, the TlA states that the City's Transportation System Plan (TransPlan) provides for "financially constrained un-programmed" (projects planned for construction but may not have funding sources identified) improvements to Hunsaker Lane, which include on-street bicycle lanes and other upgrades to urban standards. The Regional Transportation Program also identifies those planned improvements for Hunsaker Lane. Referral comments do not indicate any other planned facilities. Determination of Significant Eflect The TPR requires a determination of which existing and planned transportation facilities will experience a significant effect as a result of the proposed plan amendment, and defines what constitutes a significant effect. One way in which an amendment will significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility is, if at the end of the plmming period, the amendment will reduce the performance of a transportation facility below the minimum acceptable perfonnance standard or will worsen the performance of a transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform belo\v the minimum acceptable performance standard (OAR 660-0 12-0060( 1)( c )(B) and (C)). In determining whether there is a significant effect, different measurements are used to identify and analyze each facility for the minimum level of performance standard. Level of Service D (LOS D) is the minimum acceptable performance standard for City of Eugene. As identified in TransPlan, LOS A represents the least congested conditions and LOS F the most congested.
