SUMMARY STATEMENT:
City Engineering and Planning Staff have identified areas within our code that need more definition and direction as it relates to transportation and traffic impact studies. The current
practice includes staff guiding applicants to show compliance with traffic-related code findings, without any specific standards for traffic analysis as defined by City Code. The City
has relied on industry standards and the expertise of our consultants to provide feedback on applications to determine appropriate and proportional mitigations for traffic impacts predicted
in these studies.
As Staff and our consultants have worked through many traffic impact analyses of various projects, it has become apparent that there are issues with industry standards being applied
within McCall. There are various methods available to analyze traffic and impacts and each have strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, Staff would like to work towards utilizing a methodology
that better reflects the traffic patterns and transportation needs of McCall.
With this work session, Staff has a few goals that we would like to present to the Council as outlined in the attached memo. These goals include creating standards for when a traffic
analysis is required, establishing a methodology that is McCall specific, work towards a more holistic evaluation, and establishing a method for proportional transportation mitigations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Informational only- no action required.
