Code Amendments - ADT Standards

Chapters 17.10, 17.84, and 17.100 Code Amendments Related to ADT Standards

File No. 20-023 DCA amends Chapters 17.100, 17.84, and 17.10 of the Development Code, which contain the procedures for land divisions, improvements required with development, and definitions, respectively. The primary goal of the amendments is to incorporate average daily traffic (ADT) standards into the development code. The current development code does not contain a clear and objective criterion that requires subdivisions and other land division applications to adhere to the ADT standards for streets. The proposed code edits add a clear and objective criterion related to ADT standards. ADT standards are included in the criteria sections of Chapter 17.100 and are defined in relation to each street classification in Chapter 17.10; Chapter 17.84 contains a revision to cul-de-sac requirements. Additional minor modifications are proposed to Chapters 17.100 and 17.84. The Commission’s role in this process is to review the proposed code amendments and forward a recommendation to the City Council.
