What Direction Did The Council Provide For The 2016 Subdivision Staging Policy?

The Council directed staff to update key elements of the 2016 Subdivision Staging Policy, including converting the regional transportation model to a more refined tool for Montgomery County. Staff were also told to update traffic impact study procedures and transit metrics. For the new policy, staff are considering expanding pro-rata traffic mitigation beyond two areas, incorporating vehicle miles traveled into traffic tests, and consolidating two traffic tests. They will also update school and transportation tax rates and participation in the process includes several public briefings and hearings over 2016.

What direction did the Council provide for the 2016

Subdivision Staging Policy?

Work underway at direction from Council following the 2012 SSP:

Convert the most recently adopted version of the MWCOG regional


transportation model to a more refined tool suitable for application in
Montgomery County.

Update LATR trip generation rates to better reflect the traffic effects of
mixed-use development and access to multi-modal travel options (last
updated in 1989).

Identify and assess alternative LATR metrics and procedures (Traffic


Impact Study Technical Working Group).

Refine the transit component of TPAR to reflect the travel implications of


bus rapid transit.

What new ideas are being considered for this


Subdivision Staging Policy?

Transportation:
Expand the pro-rata share concept beyond White Flint and
White Oak
Look at incorporating Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) metric into
the LATR process
Consider consolidation of LATR and TPAR into a single
transportation test

Schools:
Work with MCPS to update student generation rates and
develop measures of housing turnover.
Continue collaboration on school design. Cross-agency
Work Group on School Design Options report recently
released.
Continue joint community meetings such as the one held
Sept. 17th with the Walter Johnson Cluster.

Infrastructure Funding:
Update school and transportation impact tax rates based on
current construction/capital costs
Consider localized use of school and transportation impact
taxes
Evaluate the proportion of costs covered by impact taxes
Consider changes in recordation tax rate
Consider options for public private partnerships
