This section establishes requirements and procedures pertaining to traffic impact analysis. These requirements are intended to inform the applicant of the city’s expectations, expedite the staff’s review process, provide standard criteria for evaluating development proposals, and establish equitable mitigation and cost-sharing policies.

Traffic impact studies may be required for all development including residential, commercial and industrial, rezonings, tentative maps and site plans. The planning director and public works director will determine the need to prepare project-specific traffic impact studies. All transportation impact studies shall be performed by a consultant qualified to perform such studies. Requirements for mitigating negative traffic impacts shall apply. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).
