§ 10.40.020. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • The board of supervisors finds and determines that:

    A.

    This chapter establishes a means of equitably assessing the costs of traffic signal installations needed to mitigate the cumulative environmental impacts resulting from the additional traffic generated by new development projects.

    B.

    The installation of warranted traffic signals and other control devices provides for improved intersection safety and efficiency, and reduces overall commuter delay, traffic congestion, air pollution, and fuel consumption.

    C.

    A system of regulations and fees to cover the estimated reasonable costs of installing needed signalization devices, in combination with other development requirements, is a practical method for insuring that adequate mitigation of traffic related environmental impacts will be achieved.
