Commercial: a commercial building or buildings consisting of
25,000 square feet or more of gross floor area.

moneys in escrow, by the applicant, for the preparation of a traffic
impact study for any other subdivision or land development.

Studies submitted by the applicant shall not be considered as a transportation impact study under this chapter and shall not be accepted by the Township as such. The procedures and standards for the traffic impact study, which shall be adhered to by the consultant, are set forth in Subsection B(9)(d) below.
(d)
The transportation impact study shall contain, but not be limited
to, the following information:
[1]
A general site description. The site description shall include
the size, location, proposed land uses, construction staging and completion
date of the proposed land development. If the development is residential,
types of dwelling units and number of bedrooms shall also be included.
A brief description of other major existing and proposed land developments
within the study area shall be provided. The general site description
shall also include probable socioeconomic characteristics of potential
site users to the extent that they might affect the transportation
needs of the site (i.e., number of senior citizens).
[2]
A transportation facilities description.
[a]
The description shall contain a full documentation of the proposed
internal and existing external transportation system. This description
shall include internal vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation,
all proposed ingress and egress locations, all internal roadway widths
and rights-of-way, parking conditions, traffic channelizations and
any traffic signals or other intersection control device within the
site. The site design shall be shown to maximize potential public
transportation usage to and from the development, such as providing
adequate turning radii at all access points to allow a bus to enter
the development. Bus shelter and sign locations shall be designated
where appropriate.
[b]
The report shall describe the entire external roadway system
within the study area. Major intersections in the study area shall
be identified and sketched. All existing and proposed public transportation
services and facilities within a one-mile radius of the site shall
also be documented. All future highway improvements, including proposed
construction and traffic signalization, shall be noted. This information
shall be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
Twelve-Year Highway and Bridge Program, the Official Map and from
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Any proposed roadway
improvements resulting from proposed surrounding developments shall
also be recorded.
[3]
Existing traffic conditions.
[a]
Existing traffic conditions shall be measured and documented
on all streets and intersections in the study area. Traffic volumes
shall be recorded for existing average daily traffic, existing peak
hour traffic and for the land development's peak hour traffic.
Complete traffic counts at all major intersections in the study area
shall be conducted, encompassing the peak highway and development-generated
hour(s), and documentation shall be included in the report. A volume/capacity
analysis based upon existing volumes shall be performed during the
peak hour(s) and the peak development-generated hour(s) for all roadways
and major intersections in the study area. Levels of service shall
be determined for each location.
[b]
This analysis will determine the adequacy of the existing roadway
system to serve the current traffic demand. Roadways and/or intersections
experiencing level of service E or F shall be noted as congestion
locations.
[4]
Transportation impact of the development. Estimation of vehicular
trips to result from the proposal shall be completed for both the
street system and the development-generated peak hours. Vehicular
trip generation rates to be used for this calculation shall be obtained
from Table 1[7] below. These development-generated traffic volumes shall
be provided for the inbound and outbound traffic movements as estimated.
The reference source(s) and methodology followed shall be cited. These
generated volumes shall be distributed to the study area and assigned
to the existing streets and intersections throughout the study area.
Documentation of all assumptions used in the distribution and assignment
phase shall be provided. Traffic volumes shall be assigned to all
access points. Pedestrian volumes shall also be calculated, if applicable.
If school crossings are to be used, pedestrian volumes shall be assigned
to each crossing. Any characteristics of the site that will cause
unusual trip generation rates and/or traffic flows shall be noted.
[7]
Editor's Note: Table 1 is included as an attachment to this chapter.
[5]
An analysis of the transportation impact.
[a]
The total future traffic demand based on full occupancy of the
proposed subdivision or land development shall be calculated. This
demand shall consist of the combination of the existing traffic expanded
to the completion year, the development-generated traffic and traffic
generated by other proposed developments in the study area. A volume/capacity
analysis shall also be conducted using the total future demand and
the future roadway capacity. If staging of the proposed development
is anticipated, calculations for each stage of completion shall be
made. This analysis shall be performed using the peak highway hour(s)
and peak development-generated hour(s) for all streets and major intersections
in the study area. Volume/capacity calculations shall be completed
for all major intersections.
[b]
All access points and pedestrian crossings shall be examined
as to the feasibility of installing traffic signals. This evaluation
shall compare the projected traffic and pedestrian volumes to the
warrants for traffic signal installation. Levels of service for all
streets and intersections shall be listed.
[6]
Conclusions and recommended improvements.
[a]
All streets and/or intersections showing a level of service
below C shall be considered deficient, and specific recommendations
for the elimination of these problems shall be listed. This listing
of recommended improvements shall include but not be limited to the
following elements: internal circulation design; site access location
and design; external street and intersection design and improvements;
traffic signal installation and operation, including signal timing;
and transit design improvements.
[b]
Existing and/or future public transportation service shall also
be addressed. A listing of all actions to be undertaken to increase
present public transportation usage and improve service, if applicable,
shall be included.
[c]
The listing of recommended improvements for both streets and
transit shall include, for each improvement, the party responsible
for the improvement, the cost and funding of the improvement and the
completion date for the improvement.
[d]
The Planning Commission shall review the transportation impact
study to analyze its adequacy in solving any traffic problems that
will occur due to the subdivision or land development and make recommendations
to the Board of Commissioners.
[e]
The Board of Commissioners may decide that certain improvements
contained in the study within the study area are required for preliminary
plan approval and may attach these conditions to the preliminary approval.
[f]
The improvement plans shall not be submitted to the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation until such plans are approved by the
Board of Commissioners. This submittal to the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation shall be accompanied by comments of the Planning
Commission and the Montgomery County Planning Commission.
