Commission adopts traffic assessment, traffic‑study rules for rezonings and large developments
Summary
Robertson County adopted a zoning resolution requiring developer-paid traffic assessments for certain rezonings and full traffic studies for large projects. Planning staff said engineers hired by developers will recommend mitigation to the planning commission and highway department review.
The Robertson County Commission adopted Resolution 102025083 to add traffic assessments and traffic-study requirements to the county zoning resolution.
Planning staff (referred to in the meeting as Hunter) told the commission that the new rule distinguishes "traffic assessments" — a lighter review for rezonings of five acres or more, commercial or industrial parcels, or when staff deem it appropriate — from full "traffic studies" for developments larger than 50,000 square feet or projects expected to generate at least 150 new daily trips. Hunter said the studies and assessments will be prepared by an engineer paid for by the developer and the engineer will submit recommendations to the planning commission and to the highway department for final access decisions.
The commission discussed timing and review logistics; Hunter said traffic assessments or studies must be submitted 30 days before a planning commission hearing so the county's engineer has review time. The resolution passed on the commission floor.
