Transportation System Plan 2018-2038

Protecting The Existing and Future Operation of Facilities Access Control The TPR [ 660-12-045(2)(a)] requires local governm ents to adopt access control m easures, such as driveway and public road spacing, m edian control, and signal spacing standards that are consistent with the functional classification of roads. The Medford Land Division Code currently addresses th ese issues in Article IV – Public Im provem ent Standards and Criteria. This section appears to m eet the intent of this TPR requirem ent. These standards will be updated as part of the adoption of the TSP. Protecting Future Operations The TPR [ 660-12-045(2)(b)] requires local governm ents to adopt standards to protect future operation of roads, transit way s and m ajor transit corridors. The City of Medford currently requires that a ll developm ent com ply with an adopted neighborhood circulation plan [ 10.453] and with the Street Classification Map [ 10.431] . Section 10.453 should be expanded to include transit way s and m ajor trans it corridors. The section should am ended to refer to future road and transit developm ents specified in the TSP. Suggested Code Language Add the following language to 10.453 (shown as underlined): • All developm ent shall com ply with an adopted neighborhood circulation plan, including transit and pedestrian facilities in that plan , when such a plan is available for the project area. Add the following language to 10.454: • Such conceptual neighborhood circulation plans shall identify the function of proposed streets, transit ways, major transit way s, pedestrian circulation and bicycle routes , and design criteria shall be applied as per this chapter. Airports The TPR [ 660-12-045(2)(c)] requires local governm ents to adopt m easures to control land uses within airport noise corridors and im aginary surfaces. The Medford LDC adequately addresses these requirem ents in sections 10.349 to 10.355. In addition to the TPR requirem ents there are OAR requirem ents [660-013] that pertain to airport planning. OAR 660-013-0040 requires that local jurisd ictions adopt a m ap showing the airport boundary , location of runway s and other featur es and future areas of expansion. Neither the LDC nor the Com prehensive Plan refe rences the m aps and figures required by OAR 660-013- 0040. The City could choose to adopt the Airport Master Plan, or portions of the Master Plan to meet the requirem ents of the OAR. Process for Coordinated Review of Land Use Decisions Coordinated Review The TPR [ 660-12-045(2)(d)] requires local governm ents to create a process for coordinated review of future land use decisions affecting transportation facilities, corridors or sites.
