HomeMy WebLinkAboutCROWNE ON TIMBERLINE - PDP - PDP130009 - REPORTS - STREET RELATED DOCUMENT (4)F of other proposed developments (see attachment B). The analysis shows traffic volumes will be at or slightly above the upper threshold of a major collector street (3,700 vehicles per day near Linden Park and 5,300 vehicles per day near Timberline Road). Conclusions Staff supports the addition of a "Collector 2 Lanes" to the Master Street Plan as shown in Attachment A, for the following reasons: - Traffic volumes once the area is developed will meet the threshold for a collector level street. This street will connect to Timberline Road at an existing signalized intersection which will funnel traffic wishing to travel north (to make the left turn) from the proposed development(s) as well as for the existing residents of Linden Park. The proposed roadway connects to an existing Collector (Zephyr) and to a planned connection at the Linden Park Neighborhood. A stub road connection was created when Linden Park was built with the intention to provide connectivity to future development north of Linden Park. This connection provides the Linden Park neighborhood an additional route into and out of their neighborhood. The proposed collector will serve one existing residential area (Linden Park) and four other properties, three of which are in process of developing a mixture of residential and commercial. cof ACTION ITEM SUMMARY Date: June 19, 2013 Staff. Aaron Iverson, Senior Transportation Planner SUBJECT OF ACTION Requested Master Street Plan Amendment as related to Crowne Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A proposed development in the vicinity of Timberline Road and Zephyr Road has identified a street on their site plan as a collector street. The developer has requested the City add this collector street to the Master Street Plan, which requires an amendment through City Council action. Based on traffic analysis and planned connectivity in this area staff supports the addition of this collector to the Master Street Plan. DIRECTION SOUGHT This purpose of this action item is to seek a recommendation to City Council from the Transportation Board related to a proposed amendment to the Master Street Plan as described below. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Overview The applicant for a project called "Crown on Timberline" has requested to add a collector street to the Master Street Plan. The development is a multi -family residential project approximately 17 acres in size. The project is just north of an existing single family neighborhood (Linden Park) and south of a proposed development that is a mixture of commercial and single family residential. To add a collector street to the Master Street Plan requires an amendment through City Council action. A map showing the proposed amendment (see attachment A) has been prepared for consideration by the Transportation Board prior to City Council action. This will be included as part of the Planning and Zoning Board staff report on the project overall, however the Planning and Zoning Board will not take action on the street amendment. The amendment to the Master Street Plan will only go forward if and when the overall project is approved. If the project is not approved or does not move forward for any other reason the street amendment will not be processed. Analysis The proposed amendment to the Master Street Plan is a request to add a collector street, which would be an extension of Zephyr Road west of Timberline Road. This road is proposed to curve south and connect to the Linden Park Neighborhood to an existing street stub at Fossil Creek Circle (see attached map). The applicant provided a traffic analysis developed by Delich Associates describing the potential traffic volumes on the proposed street with this project and
