DRAFT REVISIONS TO THE

LOCAL AREA TRANSPORTATION REVIEW GUIDELINES

Planning staff are suggesting revisions to the Local Area Transportation Review Guidelines (LATR) to provide revised procedures for conducting traffic studies in recognition of the County Council’s decision to apply Section V to all Central Business District (CBD) and Metro Station Policy Areas, expiration of the Expedited Development Approval procedure and “loophole” legislation, the Guidelines as the standard to be used for zoning, subdivision, special exception and mandatory referral cases brought before the Planning Board, the Board of Appeals and the Hearing Examiner, elimination of the link volume congestion standard, trip reductions for residential and non-residential development graduated based on the applicable congestion standard, new requirement for all traffic counts to be submitted in digital format; and to clarify the number of intersections to be studied based on maximum peak hour trips generated by a site, the acceptability of traffic counts, that intersections which straddle policy area boundaries will use the higher policy area congestion standard, use of “street peak” to determine peak hour used in a traffic study; and to provide updated trip rates for child day-care centers, and new trip rates for assisted living facilities, mini-storage facilities, and townhouses in the Silver Spring CBD.

We invite you to review the proposed revisions. Copies of the draft LATR Guidelines are available from the Transportation Planning Unit in Room 105 of the Montgomery Regional Office or by calling ((301) 495-4525). Please submit written comments as soon as possible, but no later than June 21, 2002, to:

75^th Anniversary Exhibit Is Now Open at

Brookside Gardens

To help celebrate “75 Years, Turning Visions into Reality,” The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) invites local residents, businesses and families to enjoy a “then and now” exhibit on the Commission’s 75-year history. The exhibit is open to the public at Brookside Gardens Visitors Center, and will continue to be on display daily through Monday, May 27. Located within the 50-acre horticultural display gardens at 1800 Glenallan Avenue in Wheaton, Brookside Gardens Visitors Center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In June, the exhibit travels to the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex, 8001 Sheriff Road, Landover, for the summer months.

Titled “75 Years, Turning Visions into Reality,” the exhibit features historic and current photos, maps and artwork and depicts projects, programs, facilities and milestones that have impacted residents and communities the Commission serves in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties. Exhibit images will be available online at www.mncppc.org in May 2002.
