process ensures that this ordinance does not run afbul of OAR 660-012-0060. The City Code requires Traffic Impact Analysis Review whenever a proposed development will generate 100 or more vehicle trips during any peak hour using the most recent edition of the institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip__ Generation Manual. EC 9.8670(1). if such a use is proposed fbr construction~ it is required to go hrough the City s Type II or Type III Traffic Impact Analysis Review. Traffic Impact Analysis Review is also required for any development that will result in an increase in traffic that will contribute to traffic pro,blems (based on cun'ent accident rates, traffic volumes or speeds that warrant action under the City s traffic calming program), or that wilt result in traffic in areas where the City has docun;tented pedestrian and/or bicycle safety concerns. As discussed 'under (d), below, the City also requires a Traffic Impact Analysis Review if an engineering analysis (the City's or another engineer's) indicates that approval of the development would result in levels of service that would fail to meet adopted level of service standards. Among other things, the Review requires that the development meet the purposes set out at 9.86507 including the provision of facilities necessary to accommodate the traffic impact of the proposed development through the use of traffic control devices and public or private improvements. EC 9.8650; 9.8680. This means that the development must include mitigation measures so that it does not have a "significant impact on a transportation facility." The Review requires that a proposed development must design and construct its traffic improvements to meet the City's standards, including required right~of-way and paving widths according to the street's fhl~Cfional classification system. EC 9.8680; 9~6505; 9.6870. A development that fails to meet this (or any other criterion a~ EC 9.8650) must be denied. Through this Review process, the City will ensure that a development's impact on any transportation facility will be consistent with the functional classification for that facility. (d) kIZoutd reduce the performance standards ef the facility below the minimum acceptable level ident~ed i~ TransPlan. The proposed ordinance will not reduce the performance standards of any facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in TransPlan. Further, as described above, the City's code requires that traffic impacts of any development proposal under this ordinance that would otherwise have a significant effect on transportation facility must be mitigated as part of the development's approval. The City of Eugene's Traffic Impact Analysis Review process ensures that this ordinance does not run afoul of OAR 660-012-0060. The City' Code requires Traffic Impact Analysis Review whenever an engineering analysis (the City's or another engineer's) of a proposed development indicates that approval of the development would result in levels of service that would fail to meet adopted level of service standards. As discussed above~ through this Review process, the City- will ensure that a development that is proposed-under this ordinance will not reduce the performance standards of the facility below the minimum acceptable level identified in TransPlan. As shown in the analysis provided above, the ordinance is consistent with Statewide Plam~ing Goal 12~ Exhibit A - Page 6
