(s) Traffic Summary. The applicant must submit a written statement describing the following items. This statement can be completed by the applicant or traffic engineer and must be signed by both the applicant and property owner.
(1) Traffic. The applicant must describe trip generation information for a proposed building and use. This information includes how many employees, customers and vendors will visit the site during a typical week by vehicle type. In addition to the trip information described by the applicant, which may include information from applicable trade journals or publications, the most current edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers “Trip Generation” shall be referenced. The applicant must state the proposed hours of operation.
(2) Loading. The applicant will describe all proposed loading and unloading activity. The statement should include time(s), type and size of vehicles used and frequency of visits during the typical week.
(3) Company vehicles. The applicant should note the type, number and size of company vehicles used. The applicant should describe where company vehicles are stored.
(4) Access. The applicant must describe how vehicles will get to and exit the property. Proposed and existing access locations will be examined by the City Engineer for safety and necessity to eliminate unnecessary curb cuts in the City’s transportation network.
(5) Truck routes. The applicant should describe how trucks and/or commercial vehicles are directed to the site. The routes should indicate which specific City streets will be used to reach the site. The applicant should refer to the National Truck Network for York County developed as part of the York County Long Range Transportation Plan.
(6) Curb cuts on state roads. Land development with curb cuts on state roads must provide evidence of an approved Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) for all new land uses accessing state-owned roadways. The Safe Stopping Sight Distance standards of the PennDOT HOP Handbook (Publication 282) and the Pennsylvania Code Chapter 441 should be met.
Editor’s note: York County Planning Commission “review of awareness” must be conducted before the PennDOT District Office will accept the application.
(7) Parking lot. The applicant must submit a scaled drawing indicating the proposed parking lot layout in accordance with the requirements of Article 1310, Parking and Article 1306, Infrastructure and Landscaping. Before an occupancy permit is issued, the property must be improved according to the layout submitted with the application request. This requirement will be waive if the site has one hundred percent (100%) building coverage or has less than 162 square feet of open space. If no parking is proposed, the applicant must submit a scaled drawing of the lot showing the lot and existing improvements.
(8) Traffic engineer. Based on the information provided, the City may require the preparation of a traffic impact study by a traffic engineer or have a traffic engineer review the summary which may include the following, and descriptions of methodologies where appropriate:
A. Description. An introduction providing an overview of the development and an inventory of the surrounding transportation network, including but not limited to, existing traffic volumes, surface conditions, and posted speed limits, and a location map showing the site in relation to surrounding areas, shall be provided.
B. A.M. and P.M. peak. The traffic engineer will provide a capacity a analysis (a.m. and p.m. peak for weekdays, midway peak for peak hour(s) of operation for use) for the appropriate intersections as identified by the City, the summary of which is to be summarized in matrix form.
Editor’s note: The most current version of the Highway Capacity Manual and accompanying software should be used.
C. Traffic accident data. The traffic engineer will evaluate PennDOT reportable traffic accident data for a five-year period for appropriate mid-block segments and intersections to identify clustering and accident patterns, and provide recommendations to increase pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety.
D. Loading information. The traffic engineer will evaluate all proposed loading areas and provide recommendations concerning safety and access issues.
E. Signage. The traffic engineer will provide recommendations concerning traffic signage including any necessary turning restrictions.
Editor’s note: A traffic and engineering study is required for placement of traffic control devices (i.e., stop signs) at site driveway and access drive approaches to public streets, and for the placement of signs along public streets, (i.e., parking restrictions, stop signs).
F. Curb cuts. The traffic engineer will complete an analysis of all curb cuts and access points and provide recommendations concerning design and the necessity of each curb cut.
G. Circulation. A review of the proposal will be completed to evaluate internal and external circulation of the parking lot layout. If no parking is provided, the traffic engineer will review loading and unloading activities for both product and pedestrians. The potential for the development to be served by alternative modes of transportation (i.e., transit, bicycle, pedestrian) should be evaluated. If installation of a transit stop is appropriate, the Executive Director of the York County Transportation Authority must be consulted.
H. City studies. The traffic engineer must update, revise or supplement any area-wide or corridor traffic impact, safety or circulation studies completed or officially amended by Council or York City Planning Commission. The title, author and date of any such referred to study documents or amendments shall be cited in the study.
I. Scope of study. Recommendations for the improvements of deficiencies noted in the study shall be detailed and reflected on the plan. These are minimum requirements depending on the location and type of proposed activity. The Director of Planning may request additional study elements to assist in the evaluation of the land development plan. (Ord. 21-98. Passed 12-1-98.)
