EC 9.8090 Conditional Use Permit Approval Criteria - General. Corrects the existing code which inadvertently missed requiring compliance with EC 9.6735. EC 9.8415 Property Line Adjustment Approval Criteria. Clarifies property line adjustment approval must not violate other codes, including chapter 7. EC 9.8670 {Traffic Impact Analysis} Applicability; 9.8675 {Traffic Impact Analysis} General Application Requirements; and EC 9.8680 {Traffic Impact Analysis} Approval Criteria. Moves EC 9.8680 (3) to EC 9.8675 General Application Requirements and changes EC 9.8670 (1) to read “Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Report”. EC 9.8680 (3) is an application requirement currently embedded in the Traffic Impact Analysis Approval Criteria. EC 7.420 Access Connections – Location. Clarifies where access connections may be located along public-way for the functional operation of the classified street. Of the proposed Chapter 7 code revisions, the location of an access connection would be the only criteria applicable to approving and/or denying a discretionary land use application. As such EC 7.420 provides the location standards for access connections. Section (1) is primarily existing code found in Chapter 7 that is applicable to all street classifications. Section (2) is proposed access connection standards for arterial and major collector streets. This section contains new connection standards which limit the number and increase the spacing between access connections along with establishing intersection influence areas on the higher street classifications. Section (3) pertains to local and neighborhood collector streets and this is also existing Chapter 7 code language. Summary of Ordinance for Access Connection Design and Construction Requirements EC 7.010 Definitions. Adds and/or modifies definitions for “access connection,” “access connection spacing,” “conflict point,” “controlled intersection,” “development site,” “driveway,” “easement,” “intersection influence area,” “partially controlled intersection,” “primary street,” “restricted movement access connection” and “secondary street.” EC 7.085; 7.290; 7.297; 7.308; 7.360; 7.375; 7.385; 7.407; 7.445. Renames code sections; replaces curb cut terms with access connection; and modifies code language for code consistency in the implementation of access management. EC 7.405; 7.408; 7.410, 7.415, 7.425, 7.430, and 7.435 Deletes existing code sections; establishes purpose and applicability managing access connections; restructures access connection code sections into design, construction, and regulatory management; moves existing code language into the appropriate code sections; incorporates new access connection requirements for arterial and major collector streets into the appropriate code sections. EC 7.410 Access Connections – Number, Width and Shared. Clarifies all development sites will be allowed at least one access connection and provides authority to approve additional connection(s) when it doesn’t negatively impact the public way. EC 7.435 Access Connections – Permit Alteration and Revocation; Connection Closure. Clarifies code authority and appeal process for closing access connections.
