§ 2.11. CRITICAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AREAS

A.

The City Council may, upon request by the Development Review Board, in the manner provided for amending this development code, designate specific areas as Critical Traffic Management Areas when such areas contain streets or portions thereof which are dangerous or hazardous, or lack sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate existing and expected increases in traffic during the following ten year period.

B.

When the conditions requiring the designation are no longer present the designation may be removed in the manner provided for amending this development code.

C.

The effect of any designation shall be to require review by the Development Review Board of any property which is located within a Critical Traffic Management Area. In addition, when the development, construction or alteration of any site increases the traffic burden on any Critical Traffic Management Area., the Development Review Board may require the owner of the property for which such development is proposed to pay for improvements to the Critical Traffic Management Area. The Development Review Board may require the owner of the property for which such development is proposed to pay for improvements to the Critical Traffic Management Area which would alleviate the expected increase in traffic associated with the development. Such payment shall be made, or secured in the same manner as payment for public improvements required under Section 2.13.
