The mobility standards establish an agreed upon acceptable degree of average delay for motor vehicles and/or acceptable volume -to -capacity ratio. Mobility standards are typically defined for the weekday peak hour or peak period. The applicable mobility standards used for the TSP Update are summarized below. • The City of Lake Oswego mobility standards are established in the current Comprehensive Plan under the Connected Community Chanter.

APPLICATION a. Application for Development iii. Traffic Impact Study (TIS) Required (1) The Purpose of a Traffic Impact Study is to: (a) Ensure that the existing and proposed transportation facilities in the vicinity of the proposed development are capable of accommodating the amount of traffic expected to be generated by the proposed development; (b) Protect future operations and safety of transportation facilities and major transit corridors, and implement the Comprehensive Plan and Transportation System Plan. 2) The Citv Engineer shall require a traffic impact studv when anv of the followin conditions are met: (a) The proposed development or site modification will generate at least 25 trips in the roadway peak hour traffic period or at least 250 daily trips, prior to applying trip reduction factors; or (b) The site is subject to a zoning map or text amendment or comprehensive plan or map amendment that increases the intensity (potential vehicle trip generation) of allowed uses; or (c) The daily use of the property increases by ten or more vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,000 pounds or greater; or ADOPTED 12/6/16 LU 16-0025 ATTACHMENT 4 (ORDINANCE 2725)/PAGE 3 OF 6 (d) The traffic generated by a proposed development will result in a traffic volume increase that could potentially change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility (e.g., traffic volume exceeds local street classification; or (e) The City Engineer finds: L the City or other roadway authority has documented traffic safety or operations concerns within the study area, such as frequent crashes, poor roadway alignment, limited sight distance; or ii. existing Level of Service of a nearby intersection is at or below LOS 'D'; or iii. a proposed development is expected to alter traffic patterns on a local street or neighborhood collector within 1/2 mile of the subject lot such that access to individual properties or traffic safety is adversely impacted; or iv. the site lies within one-quarter mile of the ramp terminal of an Interstate freeway, as traveled along roadways. 3) The traffic impact studv shall be conducted by a registered Oregon Civil or Traffic engineer with special training and experience in transportation analysis and planning, and shall either follow the TIS Guidelines, approved by the City Engineer, or provide iustification from a registered traffic engineer as to why the TIS Guidelines should not be followed in that instance. The Citv Eneineer shall issue TIS Guidelines. which at a minimum shall address: (a) Identification of the study area; (b) Analysis of existing transportation conditions, including as applicable, Level of Service and safety deficiencies if any, on transportation facilities within the study area; (c) Future conditions (trip generation and trip distribution) for the proposed development; (d) Projected Levels of Service on intersections within the study area; (e) Analysis of impacts from projected traffic on applicable surface modes of travel (vehicular, freight, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit), including as applicable Level of Service, safety, and capacity for streets within the study area; (f) A recommendation of necessary transportation improvements or other measures to mitigate deficiencies identified bV the TIS and ensure a Level of Service 'E' or better at peak hour traffic period for intersections within the study area, after the future traffic impacts generated by the development are considered. The applicant's engineer shall certify the TIS by providing a signature and engineer stamp or seal.
