ITD has the following comments: 1) ITD has no objection to a local jurisdiction's development agreements. The proposed change to the comprehensive plan requires no ITD-related mitigation. 2) ITD has an access management plan for SH-69 (Meridian Road). The plan does not include any access to SH-69 between Victory Road and Harris Street. The applicant's site does not appear to affect ITD's access management plans. 3) The proposed change in land use is a net reduction in site-generated trip volume that has an important impact on the regional roadway system. The conversion from employment / commercial center to residential development separates homes from employment opportunities and increases the average journey-to-work and home-to-shopping trip distance. Although this project is relatively small, the cumulative impact of such rezone/comprehensive plan changes will certainly increase regional travel demand and necessitate additional investment in the transportation system. These incremental changes to the development plans incur a regional cost to expand the roadway network. This site's location on the regional highway system could have provided some benefit in improving accessibility and reducing both travel distance and the number of trips. If you have any questions, you may contact Matt Ward at 334-8341 or me at 334-8377.
