INC NEWS - Rezoning Votes before NCDOT review -- contact Mayor Bell

[Pat Carstensen]

3.3.1 Applicability
Unless exempted below, a traffic impact analysis (TIA) shall be required for zoningmap changes utilizing a development plan, site plans, and preliminary plats that can
be anticipated to generate at least 150 vehicle trips at the peak hour (as determined
by Institute of Transportation Engineers Standards). Trips generated by separate
developments meeting the criteria of Sec. 3.3.3, TIA Submission for Projects with
Cumulative Impacts, shall be considered cumulatively.

3.3.2 Exemptions
The following projects shall not be required to submit a TIA:
A. Projects located within the Downtown Tier.
B. Developments that submitted a TIA in conjunction with a zoning map change or
previously approved site plan, special use permit, or other plan, where the TIA
remains valid, consistent with the provisions of Sec. 3.3.6, Period of Validity.
C. Redevelopment of any site on which the increase in traffic at peak hour represents an
increase of less than 150 trips from the previous development, if the redevelopment
is initiated within 12 months of the cessation of use of the previous development so
long as no access road that leads directly to the site is operating
