A. General: The maximum number of access connections allowed is the fewest necessary to accommodate the peak hour trip generation of a site. By way of example, a use generating three hundred (300) peak hour trips (refer to section 11-15-11, table 11-15-11B, "Access Connection Standards", of this chapter), must be served by one high volume access connection rather than six (6), low volume access connections. In no case shall the cumulative width of access connections exceed twenty percent (20%) of the length of real property that fronts the abutting street right of way. In certain circumstances, the city may allow additional access connections pursuant to submittal and acceptance of a traffic impact assessment (refer to section 11-15-18, "Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)", of this chapter). Circumstances warranting consideration of additional access connections include:
1. Conformance with the access spacing and corner clearance requirements;
2. Access to an adjacent street of lesser functional classification;
3. Primary access to the site is via the streets of lesser functional classification;
4. The number of access connections along the principal or minor arterial frontage is reduced;
5. Provision of right in/right out only access connections;
6. Existence of a median to limit left turn movements; and
7. Safe operating conditions and unimpeded traffic flow.
B. Limitation: Nothing in this section supersedes the other access management requirements of this chapter. (Ord. 6124, 6-28-2010)
