64.250 STREET CLASSIFICATION

Classification of an existing or proposed street not already identified on the Thoroughfare Plan, for the purpose of determining the appropriate design of a roadway or development, or for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of a location for a proposed use, shall be done by the Zoning Administrator in consultation with the City Engineer.

64.251

Classification Factors: In determining the classification of a street, factors to be considered include the following existing or proposed features:  

1. Facility Geometrics, including the number and width of traffic lanes, turning lanes, and parking lanes.
2. Access Conditions, including any restrictions on access, the spacing of private accesses, and average lot frontages.
3. Traffic Characteristics, including design volume, percentage of trucks, design speed, percentage of turning movements, origin-destination characteristics of the traffic, and peak hour characteristics of traffic.
4. Adjacent Land Uses

Utilizing this information in conjunction with the Thoroughfare Plan Map and the narrative descriptions for each roadway classification provided in the Thoroughfare Plan Document, the Zoning Administrator shall determine which of the Thoroughfare Plan designations apply to the street under consideration.
