CLEAR & OBJECTIVE HOUSING: APPROVAL C RITERIA UPDATE <br />November 13, 2018 DRAFT Preferred Concepts Report: Significant Issues Page 49 of 59 <br />COS-15 (TRAFFIC I MPACT) <br />Description : Compliance with Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) review is explicitly required as an approval criterion <br />under the discretionary tracks for conditional use, planned unit development and subdivision, but not for <br />projects under the clear and objective tracks. Separate TIA review can also be triggered by projects meeting the <br />TIA applicability standards, including generating over 100 peak hour vehicle trips. Due to the discretionary <br />nature of the TIA criteria, they are not suitable for projects using the clear and objective track. <br />Applies To : Conditional Use, Planned Unit Development, Site Review, Subdivision <br />Existing Code Section(s): N/A <br />Existing Code Language : N/A <br />Recommendation : De fer to more detailed Public Works Transportation project currently getting underway. <br />The working groups supported all options for a change that would require traffic impacts be considered for <br />approval of an application under the needed housing approval criteria. The split support highlights the <br />complexity of this issue. Since the Clear & Objective project began, Public Works Transportation has received <br />grant funding to update the transportation demand management program and traffic impact analysis process. <br />Public Works has confirmed that this issue can be addressed within the scope of this new project.
