defer motor vehicle capacity increasing transportation system improvements <br />until existing constraints can be overcome or develop an alternative mix of <br />strategies (such as: land use measures, TDM, short -term safety <br />improvements) to address the problem. <br />Section 12 . TSI Roadway Policy #2 of the Eugene - Springfield Transportation System <br />Plan (TransPlan), is amended to provide as follows: <br />TSI Roadway Policy #2: Motor Vehicle Level of Service <br />1. Use motor vehicle level of service standards to maintain acceptable and reliable <br />performance on the roadway system. These standards shall be used for: <br />a. Identifying capacity deficiencies on the roadway system. <br />b. Evaluating the impacts on roadways of amendments to transportation <br />plans, acknowledged comprehensive plans and land -use regulations, <br />pursuant to the TPR (OAR 660 -12- 0060). <br />C. Evaluating development applications for consistency with the land -use <br />regulations of the applicable local government jurisdiction. <br />2. Acceptable and reliable performance is defined by the following levels of service <br />under peak hour traffic conditions: <br />a. Level of Service F within Eugene's Downtown Traffic Impact Analysis <br />Exempt Area; <br />b. Level of Service E within the portion of Eugene's Central Area <br />Transportation Study (CATS) area that is not within Eugene's Downtown <br />Traffic Impact Analysis Exempt Area; and <br />C. Level of Service D elsewhere. <br />3. Performance standards from the OHP shall be applied on state facilities in the <br />Eugene - Springfield metropolitan area. <br />In some cases, the level of service on a facility may be substandard. The local <br />government jurisdiction may find that transportation system improvements to bring <br />performance up to standard within the planning horizon may not be feasible, and safety <br />will not be compromised, and broader community goals would be better served by <br />allowing a substandard level of service. The limitation on the feasibility of a <br />transportation system improvement may arise from severe constraints including but not <br />limit to environmental conditions, lack of public agency financial resources, or land use <br />constraint factors. It is not the intent of TSI Roadway Policy #2: Motor Vehicle Level of <br />Service to require deferral of development in such cases. The intent is to defer motor <br />vehicle capacity increasing transportation system improvements until existing constraints <br />can be overcome or develop an alternative mix of strategies (such as: land use <br />measures, TDM, short -term safety improvements) to address the problem. <br />Policy F.15 of the Eugene - Springfield Area Metropolitan Plan, is amended as follows: <br />F.15 Motor vehicle level of service policy: <br />a.
