Purpose: the traffic sensitive combining district is intended to implement the provisions of Section 2.3.3 of the Sonoma County general plan land use element, providing sites for uses allowed by the base zoning district, but which are constrained by severe traffic congestion.

(Ord. No. 4828 § 1, 1994: Ord. No. 4643, 1993.)

All permitted uses and uses permitted with a use permit in the applicable district with which the TS district is combined, except that the intensity of such uses shall be limited so as not to exceed anticipated traffic generation levels which are specified below:

1.

Each parcel designated "limited commercial" within the Sonoma Valley redevelopment area on the general plan land use map shall be limited to a total of sixty-three (63) trips per acre per weekday evening peak hour.

2.

Each parcel designated "limited commercial traffic sensitive" within the aforementioned area shall be limited to a total of eighteen (18) trips per acre per weekday evening peak hour.

3.

In addition to the above traffic levels, development on these parcels must also be found consistent with Objective CT-4.1 and Policy CT-4a of the general plan circulation and transit element.

The most recent trip generation manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers shall be used to evaluate projects in order to determine the number of trips the proposed uses will generate and thereby the intensity of uses permitted.

(Ord. No. 6252, § II(Exh. C), 12-4-2018; Ord. No. 4828 § 1, 1994: Ord. No. 4643, 1993.)

The use of land and structures is subject to the standards of the applicable base district except that the intensity and type of permitted uses may be limited by specified traffic levels. The most recent trip generation manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers shall be used to determine the traffic levels which would result from proposed uses.

A summary table of anticipated traffic levels resulting from various categories of use from the trip generation manual is available at the Sonoma County planning department.
