D.Q•a- ��oo - �%d,� <br /> saov <br /> 2. AMENDMENTS REGARDING THE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF ROADS IN ORANGE <br /> COUNTY <br /> Craig Benedict said that the County is in the process of developing a Comprehensive Plan, and <br /> transportation is a very important basis of that plan. <br /> a. Amendments to the Orange County Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element <br /> 1. Section 2.6 Transportation <br /> 2. 3.6 Cedar Grove Township <br /> 3. 3.7 Little River Township <br /> 4. 3.8 Cheeks Township <br /> 5. 3.9 Hillsborough Township <br /> 6. 3.10 Eno Township <br /> 7. 3.11 Bingham Township <br /> 8. 3.12 Chapel Hill Township <br /> b. Amendments to the Orange County Zoning Ordinance <br /> 1. Section 4.2.10 Community Commercial III(CC-3) District <br /> 2. Section 4.2.11 General Commercial-IV(GC-4) District <br /> 3. Section 13.3 Applicability(Traffic Impact Study) <br /> 4. Article 22 Definitions <br /> c. Amendments to the Orange County Subdivision Regulations <br /> 1. Section II Definitions <br /> Craig Benedict made reference to a map that showed some of the metropolitan and <br /> transportation planning areas within the County. He said that over the years it has been difficult to remain <br /> consistent in labeling the roads within the different jurisdictions(i.e., major local, major collector, etc.). This <br /> inconsistency has made it difficult for Planning. He said that what was being brought forward tonight was the <br /> start of the land use and transportation planning element to the comprehensive plan, where a standardized <br /> set of roadway classifications would be developed to be used in all of the different jurisdictions. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked Craig Benedict to show the Commissioners the limit for the <br /> metropolitan planning area. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis asked about the shrinkage of the Hillsborough area on the map. <br /> Planner Gene Bell said that in 1987, when the Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan was done with <br /> the DOT and Hillsborough,the area that was defined was roughly 90 square miles. He said that the County <br /> had some sticking points with this because the area was so large and the County had no input. In 1991- <br /> 1992,there were ongoing discussions with the DOT. Ultimately,the Hillsborough Planning area was scaled <br /> down to roughly 30 square miles. <br /> Craig Benedict said that part of the process tonight is to update the comprehensive plan from <br /> 1981 and remove the language that was in that previous plan and replace it with language that speaks to <br /> today's conditions and add the road classifications. He described the new road classification system: <br /> Interstate-major transportation corridor; arterial roadway- US 70, US 54; collector roadway-Orange Grove <br /> Road; major local roads-between subdivisions; and minor local roads-subdivision road. He said that <br /> another part of the transportation planning would be to develop"super blocks". The super blocks would be <br /> large areas of the County where there should be other major local roads to connect the areas. He made <br /> reference to the importance of a traffic impact study for any new development. <br /> Commissioner Brown asked for clarification on who designates if a road is an arterial or <br /> connector road. <br /> Craig Benedict said that the County would make that designation. The County does work very <br /> closely with DOT to be sure that the definitions and classifications are consistent with DOT's definitions and <br /> classifications. <br /> Commissioner Brown asked if the trips per day were shown for the roads on the map. <br /> Craig Benedict said that DOT makes the determination of the capacity of a roadway based on a <br /> design. <br /> Commissioner Brown asked if any of the super blocks were part of the County's wildlife corridor <br /> studies and Craig Benedict said that the staff would look at the wildlife corridors. <br /> Commissioner Brown wants the wildlife corridors to be recognized as interconnected. She <br /> asked if the County keeps track of the road systems and the ratings they have now in terms of capacity. <br /> Craig Benedict said that the staff has recently received some information from DOT that would <br />
