If a proposed development will generate 500 or more daily trip ends, then a transportation impact study (TIS) shall be required. The TIS shall be prepared by a qualified transportation engineer to determine access, circulation and other transportation requirements. The scope of a TIS shall be established by the city engineer.

Projects that generate less than 500 daily trip ends may also be required to provide traffic analysis when, in the opinion of the city engineer, a capacity problem and/or safety concern is caused and/or is adversely impacted by the development. The city engineer, at his/her discretion, shall determine the scope of this special analysis.

Trip ends shall be defined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition (or subsequent document updates), or trip generation studies of comparable uses prepared by an engineer and approved by the city engineer. Trip ends are trips that either begin or end at the proposed use. (Ord. 1919 § 5, 2004)
