(A) Except where an APFO escrow account (§ 1-20-12 (H)) has already been established, this article does not apply to developments which are expected to generate 50 or less total vehicle trips during the highest daily peak hour of the adjacent street traffic, as defined by the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) "Trip Generation Manual," or the Frederick County Guidelines for the use category determined by the Division. Site generated trips are the sum of all peak hour traffic trips in and out of the proposed site.
(B) In determining whether a proposed development exceeds the thresholds described in § 1-20-30(A), all land at one location within the county under common ownership or control by a developer shall be included. A developer shall not purposefully avoid the intent of this section by submitting piecemeal applications for preliminary plans or site plans. However, a developer may seek approval of only a portion of a subdivision or development, even if the site would generate less trips than the thresholds in this section, provided that upon seeking approval of the remaining subdivision or development which generates trips greater than the thresholds, including that approved previously under this subsection, the development shall comply with the requirements of this section.
