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: Ronald C. Welke, Coordinator Transportation Planning The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission 8787 Georgia Avenue Room 105 Silver Spring, MD 20910 |
