Any complete transportation study analyzing off-site access needs and impact will include at least all site access points and major intersections (signalized and unsignalized) adjacent to the site. Beyond this area, the review team will determine any additional area to be included based on local or site specific deficiencies, development size, traffic conditions, or local policy potentially affected by the proposed development. The study area will also encompass vacant parcels of land believed to impact the intersections being analyzed so as to analyze the proposed project in the context of other previously approved or anticipated developments in the surrounding area. Generally, the study area must be large enough to encompass the critical intersections to be analyzed. In high traffic impact areas, the study area may include the entire zone in order to capture the cumulative impact of future development within the area.
