A determination as to the adequacy of public facilities (traffic impact analysis) is required if the nature of the proposed development is such that the number of trips it can be expected to generate equals or exceeds fifty (50) peak hour trips.
Daily trips are those occurring on peak days on the adjacent roadway (e.g., daily trips on a Sunday may not be applicable). Trip generation shall be measured based on the current edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual. The following shall also be used in determining if and/or when a study is required:
(1) Redevelopment
For the purpose of redevelopment, trip generation will be defined as the number of net new trips generated by the proposed use over the number of trips generated by previous use of the site.
(2) Downzoning
Whenever a property is being rezoned to a less intensive trip generation zoning district, a traffic study is not required at the time of the rezoning application. A traffic study may be required with the site and/or subdivision plan application if it meets the threshold above.
(3) Special Events
It is not the intent of this Section to require a traffic analysis for a use that generates trips that meet or exceed the threshold but do not occur during the adjacent roadway system's peak hour. For example, facilities designed for sporting events, concerts or other similar uses may not require a traffic analysis because the events occurs during a non-peak hour or non-peak day. If a traffic study is required for a use, then the analysis shall be based upon the normal trip generation for the proposed use and not that associated with special event(s).
