Board sets condition to require supplemental traffic review at tenant fit‑out for high‑trip uses
Summary
The board added a condition that if a future commercial tenant has significantly different trip‑generation characteristics, the applicant must provide supplemental traffic analysis prior to tenant fit‑out building permits, at the building inspector’s discretion.
Board members debated how to manage future tenant selection and its traffic implications for the tight downtown site. Several members worried that unknown future tenants in the remaining retail shells could have traffic characteristics that differ from the study assumptions and that those differences could create parking and circulation problems.
The board adopted a condition requiring the applicant to prepare a supplemental traffic analysis prior to issuance of a building permit for tenant fit‑out if a proposed commercial tenant’s trip‑generation is "significantly different" from the originally modeled uses; the requirement is to be applied at the discretion of the building inspector and could trigger a return to the board for additional mitigation. "At the discretion of the building inspector, the applicant shall prepare and provide a supplemental analysis for [the board]," the condition states, giving staff a procedural mechanism to require further study if warranted.
