EXHIBIT C zoning would potentially generate 428 more peak hour trips compared to the existing designation. City staff concurs with the scope of the study, and the analysis is consistent with the agreed upon scope of work. concludes that the proposed amendment and zone change will not significantly affect the operation of the studied intersections, in accordance with OAR 660-012- 0060(1). This is supported by findings included within the analysis that verify the proposed amendment and zone change does not significantly affect any transportation facility, citing compliance with OAR 660-012-0060(1)(a) though (c). The analysis concludes that because OAR 660-012-0060(1) is satisfied and there is no significant effect, the remaining OAR subsections (2) through (11) do not apply. While staff concurs it was found that there is a significant effect that needs to be addressed under the TPR conclusions. A significant effect was triggered under OAR 660-012-0060(1)(c)(C) due to impact th to the intersection at 5 Avenue and Seneca Road, as discussed further below. The City uses Level of Service (LOS) as our performance standard to determine significant effect and our locally adopted performance standard is a minim of the downtown area. LOS can be generally described as a report card that measures of the amount of time delay expected at a given intersection. Based on the amount of delay, th proposal impacts the intersection at 5 Avenue and Seneca Road. Without any changes, this intersecti As the requested change in plan designation and zoning will result in increased vehicle trips to this intersection, it will result in further degradation of the LOS performance at the intersection th of 5 and Seneca. Based on these facts, the requested change triggers a significant effect under Subsection (1)(c)(C). When a significant effect is determined, a remedy to mitigate increased degradation is required to ensure compl OAR 660-012-0060(2) If a local government determines that there would be a significant effect, then the local government must ensure that allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards of the facility measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP through one or a combination of the remedies listed in (a) through (e) below, unless the amendment meets the balancing test in subsection (2)(e) of this section or qualifies for partial mitigation in section (11) of this rule. A local government using subsection (2)(e), section (3), section (10) or section (11) to approve an amendment recognizes that additional motor vehicle traffic congestion may result and that other facility providers would not be expected to provide additional capacity for motor vehicles in response to this congestion. (a) Adopting measures that demonstrate allowed land uses are consistent with the planned function, capacity, and performance standards of the transportation facility.
