§ 143-214. Traffic impact study.

A traffic impact study shall be submitted simultaneously with an application for any conditional use. A traffic impact study may be required by the Board of Supervisors for other uses in the district when the proposed site is determined to be a congested area by the Board of Supervisors and/or when a traffic impact study is deemed necessary by the Board of Supervisors to evaluate the community impact of any proposed development. Whenever a traffic impact study is required, the preliminary plan shall be considered incomplete until the required traffic impact study shall be prepared by a professional traffic engineer and shall contain the following:

A. 

A study impact area agreed to by the Township Engineer.

B. 

An inventory of site conditions which shall include:

(1) 

A sketch plan of the proposed development.

(2) 

Existing average daily traffic (ADT) on roads within the study area. This shall include traffic volumes at peak highway hours and at peak development generated hours.

(3) 

Existing levels of service (A through F) as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual of the Institute of Transportation Engineers on roads and intersections within the study area. The level of service for signalized intersections refers to the average stopped delay per vehicle during a fifteen-minute analysis period.

(4) 

List of pending or proposed development within a reasonable distance of the development and impacted intersections. The Township Engineer shall prepare this list.

(5)
