Ordinance No 20619 Exhibit A this development, as compared to standard Institute of Transportation Engineers vehicle trip generation rates and minimum city parking requirements. b. A proposed Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program has been approved by the city that contains strategies for reducing vehicle use and parking demand generated by the development and establishes benchmarks by which the program's effectiveness will be measured annually. The city may waive the preparation of a TDM plan if the requirement set forth in EC 9.8030(10)(a)1.a. can otherwise be satisfied.
