Paia-Haiku transportation plan

The Paia-Haiku transportation plan shall be comprised of the following parts: A. Transportation Planning Model. A transportation planning model study shall be established by a licensed professional engineer and made a part of this chapter. The transportation planning model shall be reviewed by the County department of planning not later than upon the fifth year from its adoption by resolution of the County council and every five years thereafter. The model shall be updated every five years or as needed. The transportation planning model is not intended as a prediction device. It is to provide a fair and equitable method of sharing growth-related costs of roadway improvement and to form the basis for a roadway master plan. The components of the transportation planning model utilized in this chapter shall contain the following parts: 1. Baseline data to assess the quality of traffic operations on the existing road network in Paia-Haiku region. Information required includes roadway geometrics, intersection geometrics, number of vehicular travel lanes, traffic volumes, travel times, and traffic flow patterns; 2. Land use data, including the Maui County general plan, Paia-Haiku community plan, proposed new developments and amendments to the Maui County general plan and Paia-Haiku community plan, and the areas in which the existing zoning is not in conformity with the Paia-Haiku community plan; 3. Trip generation computation based on the number of vehicular trips generated by types of land uses and land developments based on standards adopted by the institute of transportation engineers, as may be adjusted for local conditions; 4. Trip distribution which breaks region into definable traffic zones for purposes of determining the number of trips distributed among various zones; and 5. Trip assignment or the assignment of trips for various zones on the specific roadways or routes. B. Base Year Road Network System. The plan shall also establish a road network system to satisfactorily accommodate the traffic demand for the base year at a quality of operation of level of service "D," as defined in "Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209" 1985, prepared by the Transportation Research Board, National Research Council, Washington, D.C. C. Roadway Master Plan for Paia-Haiku. There shall be prepared a roadway master plan for Paia-Haiku which shall be made a part of this chapter, and shall include the following information: 1. All existing arterial highways, streets, local roads and collector roads, including rights-of-way; 2. Description of all new roadway rights-of-way widths and number of travel lanes; 3. Description of all new intersection improvements, including left turn storage lanes, right turn lanes, and traffic signal systems; and 4. Description of all new roadway facilities (i.e., circulation patterns and routes). The objective of the roadway master plan for Paia-Haiku shall be to attain, at a minimum, an operating roadway capacity level of service "D," on all major roads within the Paia-Haiku region. Both the roadway master plan for Paia-Haiku and base year road network system shall be reviewed by the County department of planning annually during the month of January. Both the plan and road system shall be amended, if necessary, to conform with the Paia-Haiku community plan and shall be a projection of traffic and roadway improvements to the year 2015. The review shall consider recent trip generation rates, and construction costs for work constructed by the State of Hawaii or County of Maui, or both, for roadway improvements on the island of Maui. The review should analyze the effects of inflation on the costs of roadway construction and ensure the impact fees charged are reasonably related to the need for roads generated by such activity. Amendments to the roadway master plan for Paia-Haiku and the base year road network system shall be incorporated in the Paia-Haiku transportation plan through amendment of the ordinance adopting the Paia-Haiku transportation plan, as set forth in section 14.78.060 . (Ord. 3432 § 1 (part), 2007)
