conditionally approve, or deny an adjustment review application. Approval or conditional approval shall be based on compliance with the following applicable criteria. (19) Improvements, Streets and Alleys. (a) The requirement in EC 9.6505(3)(b) that all paving improvements to streets and alleys adjacent to the development include drainage, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, street trees and street lights may be adjusted to allow the site developer to improve the streets and alleys adjacent to the development site with a temporary surface, designed and constructed in accordance with the City’s adopted temporary surface permit procedures. A temporary surface may be allowed when the site developer can demonstrate that a temporary surface is adequate to serve the development site and that a temporary surface will not impede the public’s use of the right-of- way. (b) The paving requirement at EC 9.6505(3)(b) may be adjusted if the site developer has shown that a street or alley adjacent to the development will not be impacted by the development. (27) Driveways and Internal Circulation. The driveway requirement of EC 9.6703(3)(a) may be adjusted if the site developer demonstrates with an Alternative Traffic Safety Study that a shorter driveway stacking area will provide safe ingress and egress to the development site, will not negatively impact the efficiency of the public right-of-way, and will not result in a hazard to the bicycle, pedestrian or vehicular traffic using the right-of-way. (28) Public Access Required. The public access requirement of 9.6735(2) may be adjusted if the site developer demonstrates any of the following: (a) Physical conditions preclude compliance with EC 7.420. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, topography, trees, existing buildings or other existing development on the subject property or adjacent property. (b) The proposed adjustments to the standards will provide safe ingress and egress to the development site, will not negatively impact the efficiency of the public right-of-way, and will not result in a hazard to the bicycle, pedestrian or vehicular traffic using the right-of-way. (c) The proposed development will not impact one or more of the existing access connections to the development site. Impact to an existing access connection includes, but is not limited to, increasing the number of vehicles, either directly or indirectly, that will utilize an existing access connection for ingress or egress to the development site. (d) Compliance with EC 7.420(1)(c) will result in traffic patterns inconsistent with the character of the property located within a quarter mile radius of the development site or will increase the number of vehicular trips using the street with the lower classification above the typical daily trip range for that street’s classification.
