TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA)
A technical appraisal or study that identifies the impacts of a new or expanded development on the public road system; identifies potential traffic operational problems or concerns and recommends appropriate actions to address such problems or concerns; and assists in determining the degree of financial responsibility of the developer in mitigating such impacts.
A developer shall not avoid the intent and requirements of this chapter by submitting piecemeal applications for preliminary subdivision plan or site plan approvals. The Director of the Department of Planning and Community Development and the Director of the Department of Public Works will make final determination on this particular matter, and whether a particular application will be subject to adequate public facilities review where the Directors find an intent to avoid the intent and requirements of this chapter.
