Planning Commission to weigh trip thresholds for impact analysis and demand management
Jackson’s Planning and Zoning Commission is set to review proposed Land Development Regulation changes that would standardize when developments must analyze and mitigate transportation impacts, using tiered trip-generation thresholds and travel-demand measures.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is set to discuss proposed Land Development Regulation updates for “Transportation Impact Analysis and Transportation Demand Management” (PM26-001) at its Oct. 7 meeting agenda. Staff from the Joint Transportation Division recommend approval of the draft text amendments, which would create a three tier process: projects expected to generate fewer than 10 PM peak hour trips would be exempt; projects generating 10 to 50 trips would complete a simplified worksheet; and projects generating more than 50 trips would require a full Transportation Impact Analysis plus monitoring and trip reduction measures agenda packet. The proposal also flags projects on the town’s High Injury Network for added frontage and safety coordination.
The record shows the same item was introduced to the commission on Sept. 16 and continued to Oct. 7 after a staff presentation, with no public comment recorded agenda packet. That Sept. 16 meeting agenda listed PM26-001 as new business Sept. 16 agenda.
