§ 17-43. Adjustments for mixed-use development and transit-oriented development.
Latest version.
(a)
The percentage of internal capture reflects the reduced impact on the overall transportation
network by mixed-use development due to a reduction in the number of trips on external
roadways and an increase in trips made by walking, bicycling and riding transit. Based
on the Transportation Research Board National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP) Report 684 "Enhancing Internal Trip Capture Estimation for Mixed-Use Development,"
illustrating internal capture rates between twenty (20) percent and thirty (30) percent
and for larger scale mixed-use developments that are compact and walkable featuring
rates as high as fifty (50) percent, the mobility fee study concludes that the appropriate
percentage of internal capture for development located in mixed-use development and
transit-oriented development is twenty-five (25) percent. This percentage of internal
capture rate is consistent with a number of studies submitted to and accepted by the
county for mixed-use developments. While the percentage of internal capture varies
slightly between the developments that submitted studies, they averaged a percentage
of internal capture of twenty-five (25) percent. Based upon the foregoing, the mobility
fee study has reduced the person miles of travel for land uses located in a mixed-use
development or transit-oriented development by twenty-five (25) percent.
(b)
The percentage of transit reduction reflects the reduced impact on the overall transportation
network by development located in transit-oriented development. The Transit Cooperative
Research Program Report 128 "Effects of TOD on Housing, Parking and Travel" evaluates
the transportation impact of transit oriented developments and concludes that the
cumulative impact of both internal capture and mode share indicates a reduction of
approximately fifty (50) percent in transportation impact over free standing non mixed-use
developments. Since the county's comprehensive plan and land development regulations
have specific requirements for the design, location, walkability and compactness of
transit-oriented development and in light of the percentage of internal capture assigned
to mixed-use development in the foregoing subsection (a), an additional percentage
of transit reduction of twenty-five (25) percent is assigned to transit-oriented development.
Based upon the foregoing, the mobility fee study has reduced the person miles of travel
for land uses located in a transit-oriented development by a total of fifty (50) percent,
which includes the reduction described in the foregoing subsection (a).
