requesting conditional approval to construct Park & Ride facility for 100 vehicles. The 1.5 -acre
site is located on the north side of Overland Road approximately 600 -feet east of Meridian
Road. This development is estimated to generate 220 additional vehicle trips per day based on
the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual.

the transportation system in the vicinity. On May 19, 2000, the staff met as the District's
