approval of the development will result in levels of service of the roadway <br />system in the vicinity of the development that do not meet adopted level of <br />service standards. <br />(4) For development sites that abut a street in the jurisdiction of Lane County, a <br />Traffic Impact Analysis Review is required if the proposed development will <br />generate or receive traffic by vehicles of heavy weight in their daily operations. <br />For purposes of EC 9.8650 through EC 9.8680, "daily operations" does not include <br />routine services provided to the site by others, such as mail delivery, garbage <br />pickup, or bus service. "Daily operations" does include, but is not limited to, delivery <br />(to or from the site) of materials or products processed or sold by the business <br />occupying the site. For purposes of EC 9.8650 through EC 9.8680, "heavy vehicles" <br />are defined as a single vehicle or vehicle combination greater than 26,000 pounds <br />gross vehicle weight or combined gross vehicle weight respectively. <br />Section 11 . Subsection (3) of Section 9.9650 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to <br />provide as follows: <br />9.9650 TransPlan Policies <br />(3) Transportation System Improvements: Roadways. Motor vehicle level of <br />service policy: <br />(a) Use motor vehicle level of service standards to maintain acceptable and <br />reliable performance on the roadway system. These standards shall be <br />used for: <br />1. Identifying capacity deficiencies on the roadway system. <br />2. Evaluating the impacts on roadways of amendments to <br />transportation plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans and <br />land -use regulations, pursuant to the TPR (OAR 660 -12- 0060). <br />3. Evaluating development applications for consistency with the land - <br />use regulations of the applicable local government jurisdiction. <br />(b) Acceptable and reliable performance is defined by the following levels of <br />service under peak hour traffic conditions: <br />1. Level of Service F within Eugene's Downtown Traffic Impact <br />Analysis Exempt Area; <br />2. Level of Service E within the portion of Eugene's Central Area <br />Transportation Study (CATS) area that is not within Eugene's <br />Downtown Traffic Impact Analysis Exempt Area; and <br />3. Level of Service D elsewhere. <br />(c) Performance standards from the OHP shall be applied on state facilities <br />in the Eugene - Springfield metropolitan area. <br />In some cases, the level of service on a facility may be substandard. The <br />local government jurisdiction may find that transportation system <br />improvements to bring performance up to standard within the planning horizon <br />may not be feasible, and safety will not be compromised, and broader <br />community goals would be better served by allowing a substandard level of <br />service. The limitation on the feasibility of a transportation system <br />improvement may arise from severe constraints including but not limit to <br />environmental conditions, lack of public agency financial resources, or land <br />use constraint factors. It is not the intent of Policy F -15: Motor Vehicle Level <br />of Service to require deferral of development in such cases. The intent is to <br />Ordinance - Page 13 of 16 <br />
