I within a 40-foot wide right of way. The streets is unimproved and lack curb/~utter, sidewalk,
and street lights. I'
I:
FindinQ": Based on ITE Land Use Code 210 (Single-Family Detached Housing) full development
/ of an additional parcel with a single-family residential use would generate 10:additiona1 vehicle
trips per day and 1 PM peak-hour vehicle trip onto the surrounding street syst~m.
Ii
II
j findinQ": Assumed development may generate pedestrian and bicycle trips. According to the
"Household" survey done by LCOG in 1994, 12.6 percent of household. trips ~re made by
bicycle or walking and 1.8 percent are by transit bus. . These trips may have tlieir origins or
destinations at a variety of land uses, including this site. Pedestrian and bicy~'le trips create the
need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking apd bicycle lanes.
/ finding: Existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate'the additional
1
volume of traffic generated by the proposed 4eve10pment. ,:
