(A) Threshold. An applicant shall submit a TIS when a proposed land use action affects a transportation facility as set forth below. The following vehicle trip generation thresholds shall determine the level and scope of transportation analysis required for a new or expanded development. The developer shall be required to mitigate impacts attributable to the project. The determination of impact or effect and the scope of the impact study shall be coordinated with the provider of the affected transportation facility.
(1) If a proposed development will generate 400 or more daily trip ends, as defined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation Manual or trip generation studies of comparable uses prepared by an engineer, then a TIS shall be required. The requirements for the TIS shall be established by the Planning Official in consultation with ODOT.
(2) If a proposed development will generate 100 or more daily trip ends, but less than 400 daily trip ends, then a Transportation Site Review (TSR) shall be required. The requirements of a TSR shall be established by the county’s Planning Department or city’s Planning Official in consultation with ODOT.
(B) Special transportation analysis. Projects that generate less than 100 daily trip ends may also be required to provide traffic analysis when a capacity problem and/or safety concern is caused and/or is adversely impacted by the development. The Planning Official shall determine the scope of this special analysis in consultation with ODOT.
