language in the adapted plans described above, The secondary access requirement, which is essentially a modification to the current requirement in the PUD ordi:na.nce and also applying it to subdivisions, has relevance to Land Use Policy 5 in TransPlan: Muaimize the adverse impact of the automobile on local residential streets through the selective use of alternative street designs and application of traffic management techniques. Page 4.} This policy includes several implementation strategies, such as traffic diverters and providing far adequate arterial and collector streets. The proposal here to require secondary access addresses this policy at the initial street planning stage. It is intended to disperse traffic onto more than just one local street when larger developments are proposed. Additionally, it looks at the overall use of a local street in the aggregate, so if a development proposal increases the use of a local street beyond 191ots, and that local street is the only means of ingress and egress ~i. e. , it is the only way in and the only way out}, then access to another street is required when feasible. If access to a development is from a collector or arterial street, then this requirement is nat applicable. Conclusion The City Council finds that, based on the above findings, the residential code amendments are consistent with adopted plans, policies, and standards. _
