2023 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 19, 2023 <br />Page 74 <br /> <br /> <br />methods. The applicant shall submit the AM peak hour, PM peak hour, weekday and <br />weekend peak hour estimates of project trip generation using the methodology and <br />guidelines in the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip <br />Generation Manual. The AM and PM peak hours shall reflect the peak hours of roadway <br />traffic. Any adjustments to trip generation made for existing land uses, “pass-by”, “diverted”, <br />or “mixed-use” traffic volumes shall follow the methodology outlined in the latest edition of <br />the ITE Trip Generation Manual. Alternative sources of trip generation data for comparable <br />land uses or other studies may be submitted for approval by the County Engineer or <br />designee. <br /> <br />B. Traffic Distribution - The directional distribution of daily traffic to and from the project shall <br />be provided by the applicant. The applicant shall describe the basis for the traffic <br />distribution, such as use of past traffic counts, relationship to area cities, relationship to <br />destinations, and other criteria. The applicant shall provide a map showing the trip <br />distribution and the assigned daily trips on the roadway network. <br />A. <br />C. Scoping Letter - The scoping letter shall outline the proposed scope of the TIA including a <br />detailed description of the project, trip generation, strip distribution, analysis assumptions, <br />and a proposed list of study intersections that are affected by forty (41) daily trips. The <br />scoping letter should indicated the study intersections and the peak hours to be evaluated. <br />All study intersections must be evaluated for the PM peak hour, but additional peak hour <br />periods need to be included for land uses that generated high volumes of AM peak hour, <br />weekends, or off-peak traffic. <br />B. <br />D. Scope Review - The County will review the scoping letter and, either provide an approval of <br />the scope, or provide written list of scope adjustments needed to meet the requirements of <br />the analysis. As part of the approval of the scope, the County will provide a background <br />growth rate, a current list of approved development projects (“pipeline projects”) that need <br />to be included in the analysis and for use in the concurrency evaluation. <br /> <br />12.04.02.050 Transportation Impact Analysis General Requirements. <br />The following requirements shall apply to the analysis of transportation impacts: <br /> <br />A. The applicant shall use the applicant’s own resources to <br />prepare the transportation impact analysis and to <br />acquire data for existing traffic conditions. As a
