(a) Purpose. The purpose of a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is to provide information to the City to allow for an assessment of the impact major development projects will have on the City's transportation network. The study provides guidance for site access, on-site circulation, parking, and off-site improvements necessary to permit the street system to operate at a satisfactory level of service.
(b) Applicability. A TIS for a proposed development shall be submitted with the site plan, preliminary plat, or preliminary PUD plan when the development meets any of the following criteria:
(1) The proposed development generates 100 or more added new peak hour trips to and/or from the site during the adjacent roadway's peak hours or during the development's peak hour, and the proposed development generates more than 1,000 trips daily.
(2) The City Engineer determines that other conditions exist in the vicinity of the proposed development that may be negatively impacted by the development. Final determination of such conditions shall be determined by the City Engineer.
(3) The City Engineer may waive the requirement for a TIS based on his or her initial review of the proposed use and information available on the streets adjacent to the subject property.
