Overview: The purpose of this agenda item is to transmit the “2017 Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation” and “2017 Transportation Impact Analysis Update” prepared by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The University is required by its Development Plan permit to provide this annual update. These reports discuss a variety of transportation issues associated with development activity in the Office/Institutional-4 (OI-4) Zoning District on the University main campus.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council receive the report.

 

Key Issues:

                     On June 27, 2005, the Council approved a resolution requesting that the University submit an Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation associated with development in the Office/Institutional-4 (OI-4) Zoning District on the University campus. The Council also approved the guidelines for the development of the Report. A copy of the resolution and the guidelines are attached.

                     The Council resolution requests that:

a.                     The University provide the Town with an annual report titled “Annual Development Plan Report on Transportation;”

b.                     The annual transportation report be provided in addition to a biennial “Transportation Impact Analysis Report;”

c.                     The annual transportation report be submitted in December of each year beginning in December 2005 and thereafter until the end of the current Development Plan cycle; and

d.                     The annual report be a condensed, stand-alone document prepared and organized as follows:

Ø                     Overview of the Development Plan;

Ø                     Discussion of changes in transportation issues associated with the Development Plan; and

Ø                     Discussion of mitigation measures and recommendations including the existing and the proposed traffic calming measures on campus and in adjacent neighborhoods.

                     This overview transmits the 2017 report and update on the Transportation Impact Analysis. The Council previously received the reports from 2005 to 2016. 

                     Town staff reviewed the report and finds that the report, in general, is prepared in accordance with the approved guidelines. Traffic volume generally remained stable, or in some cases decreased from 2005.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: No fiscal impact identified at this time.
