July 13, 2015 <br />Section 8: Street Design Standards TCAAP Redevelopment Code <br />Page | 85 <br /> <br />8.0 Street Design Standards <br />8.1 Purpose and Intent: The Master Plan Vision for the TRC recognizes the importance of <br />providing adequate public infrastructure, which includes an ultimate Street Network that <br />maximizes connectivity, and other needed infrastructure to serve the vision for redevelopment <br />within the Plan Area. <br />Street design and connectivity is envisioned to support and balance automobile, bicycle, and <br />walking trips in addition to becoming the “living” space for development. The “living” nature <br />of streets will not only serve private redevelopment, but the community at large and the <br />people who live in and use it. This section establishes context sensitive standards for Street <br />Design and Connectivity. <br />8.2 Street Designation Categories: In order to service multiple modes of transportation within an <br />appropriate redevelopment context, streets within the TRC are designated under two (2) <br />major categories: <br />(a) Street Classification: The Street Classification designation establishes standards for the <br />actual cross-section of the street itself. The Street Classification includes information on <br />automobile, bicycle, pedestrian, and parking accommodation. It typically addresses the <br />space allocation within the public right-of-way and its emphasis towards different <br />modes of transportation. The TCAAP Street Type Plan (Attachment 5) identifies the <br />Street Classification designations within the Plan Area and Attachment 4 provides cross <br />sections for the different Street Classifications. <br />(b) Street Network: In addition to Street Classification designations, streets in plan are <br />identified as Required streets to implement the ultimate street network in the Master <br />Plan Vision. The TCAAP Street Type Plan (Attachment 5) illustrates the Street Network <br />within the TRC. <br />1. Required Streets – these are mainly existing, improved or new streets that are <br />needed to implement the ultimate street network envisioned in the Vision for the <br />TRC. They shall be mandatory at the time of redevelopment including the <br />requirement to dedicate right-of-way as identified in the Regulating Plan. The <br />alignment of new Required Streets may be modified per Permitted Adjustments in <br />Section 3.3 of this Code. <br />8.3 Project Circulation Plan: A Project Circulation Plan must be submitted with a site plan or <br />subdivision application (whichever comes first) for an area of four (4) acres or larger that is <br />subject to the requirements of this section. The Project Circulation Plan shall be developed and <br />reviewed for its consistency with this section and the Regulating Plan, which illustrates <br />proposed locations for new and improved streets within the Plan Area. Required streets on <br />the Regulating Plan shall be mandatory and their alignments may be adjusted per Section 3.3 <br />Permitted Adjustments. <br />(a) A Project Circulation Plan must demonstrate: <br />1. How the proposed circulation meets the intent of the Master Plan Vision for <br />redevelopment of TCAAP; <br />2. How the on-site circulation system integrates with existing and planned streets, <br />bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and trails in the surrounding area; <br />3. How new street alignments conform with the Regulating Plan or how modifications <br />from the Regulating Plan, in terms of street placement, alignment, and design are <br />consistent with the intent of this Code; <br />4. How new street design conforms with the street cross section standards in Attachment <br />4;
