Findings under RTSP Goal 7 summarize the impacts to land uses in the vicinity of the interchange, as evaluated in the TAMP. The input received as part of the public and stakeholder outreach process shaped how the local roadway improvement were ultimately designed, especially as related to access and impacts to the two truck stops west of the interchange and the RV Park. Land use and business impacts was one of many evaluation criteria that was used to narrow down the interchange design alternatives (see TAMP Chapter 4). Sound abatement is being considered to reduce freeway-generated noise at the RV park. This Policy has been met. Evaluating existing conditions (TAMP Chapter 2) included examining land use and zoning in the vicinity. Policy 4: Development proposals and changes in land use designations shall conform to any sub-area management plans created or adopted by Marion County. The information and analysis in the TAMP replace the Aurora/Donald (Fargo) Interchange Area Sub-Area Plan. No development proposals or changes in land use designations are proposed in the requested RTSP update. This Policy does not apply. Policy 8: The County shall review land use actions, development proposals, and large transportation projects in the region for impacts to the transportation system and facilities. If the impacts are deemed significant by the County and cannot be mitigated to the County's satisfaction, the action shall be denied or modified until the impacts are acceptable. The County shall also consider the impact these have to affected communities and urban areas. The TAMP Preferred Alternative documents needed improvements at the Aurora Donald interchange and can be considered a "large transportation project," pursuant to this Policy. The benefits of implementing the TAMP Preferred Alternative are documented in earlier findings, in particular those related to improved safety and mobility for businesses and residents in the immediate vicinity, as well as for the cities of Donald and Aurora and travelers through the region. Impacts to surrounding land use are minimal, as addressed in findings under RTSP Goal 7, Consider Land Use and Transportation Relationships. The requested RTSP amendment will update County policy to acknowledge support of the Preferred Alternative and the improvements needed to the County transportation system. This policy has been met. Policy 9: Access to developments must be from roadways with appropriate Functional Classifications and improved to appropriate standards. Table 10-3 shows the maximum trip generation for new or expanded developments based on the Functional Classification and character of the roadway from which it gains access: There is no development proposal associated with the requested update to the RTSP; this Policy does not apply. Policy 12: All new or modified accesses to an arterial shall be paved to a minimum width of 20 feet for a typical vehicle length (or longer if necessary)from the edge of I-5:Aurora Donald Interchange(Exit 278)TAMP:Supporting Findings for Marion County Adoption 27
