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

Capital Park and Planning Commission
