Objective 5.2: Facilitate regional through movement of goods and services while minimizing conflict between through movement and livability in central city areas. Objective 5.3: Minimize adverse impact of the transportation system on quality of life and environment in rural areas. Planned improvements associated with the TAMP Preferred Alternative will reduce congestion, vehicular queuing, and truck idling at the interchange in this rural unincorporated area and will improve safety on the 1-5 mainline. A noise analysis determined that a sound wall adjacent to the Aurora Acres RV Park along the northbound off ramp was cost-effective and would benefit RV park residents. A sound wall will be evaluated during final design to confirm its potential benefits to the RV Park residents. These Objectives have been met. Goal 6: Promote Alternative Modes of Transportation Objective 6.1: Facilitate provision of opportunities for a variety of transportation options. The full buildout of the Preferred Alternative entails the realignment of Ehlen Road with a wider cross section under 1-5 that will include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The new I- 5 bridge over Ehlen Road will also provide for bicycle and pedestrians with a multi-use path (see TAMP Figure 5-4). While there is no transit service in the area, improved mobility and safety on the 1-5 mainline will facilitate regional transit service. This Objective as been met. Goal 7: Consider Land Use and Transportation Relationships Evaluating existing conditions (TAMP Chapter 2) included examining land use and zoning in the vicinity. The land in the vicinity of the interchange and within the TAMP study area is zoned either Interchange District (ID) or Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). In the northwest quadrant of the study area within the ID zone, one 28-acre property bordered by Ehlen Road and Bents Road has a Limited Use (LU) overlay designation. Objective 7.2: Minimize detrimental effects of transportation improvements on rural land uses. The ID-LU Overlay governs future development on the site through a specific set of conditions of approval adopted by Marion County (Ordinance 826 Conditions of Approval) and limits uses to those that are accessory to the travel center/truck stop located across Bents Road. Marion County staff has determined that the proposed realignment of Bents Road through the currently vacant ID-LU-zoned property would not require partitioning of the property, a land use permit, or a revision to the Goal Exception already granted for the property. The relocation and expansion of Ehlen Road and the relocation of Dolores Way will impact circulation in the vicinity of the interchange and will change how existing businesses and residents access 1-5, with the result of improving mobility and safety in the area.These 1-5:Aurora Donald Interchange(Exit 278)TAMP:Supporting Findings for Marion County Adoption 18
