HAMBURG SIA DISTRICT ZONING 12 2) Traffic Study: A study is required documenting existing traffic conditions in the vicinity of the proposed project, accurately describe the volume and effect of the projected traffic generated by the proposed project, and identify measures necessary and sufficient to mitigate any adverse impacts on existing traffic conditions. The Traffic Study shall contain the following: a) Existing traffic conditions: Measurement and assessment of average and daily peak hour vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic volumes, average and peak speeds, sight distances, accident data and Levels of Service (LOS) of all intersections and streets within the project impact area and including any intersection projected to be adversely affected by the project over the No Build condition. b) Projected traffic conditions: Projected traffic conditions for the design year of occupancy, including a statement of the design year of occupancy, estimated background traffic growth on an annual average basis, and impacts of other proposed developments that have been approved in whole or in part by the Town of Hamburg or an abutting municipality which will affect future traffic conditions. c) Projected impact of proposed project: Projected peak hour and daily traffic generated by the project on the roads and ways in the project impact area, sight lines at the intersections of the proposed driveways and streets, existing and proposed traffic controls in the vicinity of the proposed Development Project, and projected post- development traffic volumes and Levels of Service (LOS) of intersections and roads likely to be affected by the proposed project. d) Traffic mitigation measures: Specific measures to be undertaken by the Applicant in order to mitigate the impacts of the proposed project. Mitigation measures may include both on-site and off-site measures. Measures may include but are not limited to intersection improvements, shuttle options, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and other means to both accommodate vehicular traffic and promote multiple transportation options. The proposed mitigation measures, if approved, shall be required to be completed prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the project component. e) Gameday and special events: The transportation study must include an analysis of traffic impacts related to events at the Buffalo Bills Stadium, including but not limited to Buffalo Bills games. C. Project Phasing. 1) At the request of the Applicant phasing of the project shall be permitted with Town Board approval, provided that the submission shows the full build-out of the Project and all associated impacts as of the completion of the final phase. Any off-site mitigation requirements shall be structured in phases to coordinate with the project buildout and must be completed prior to construction of that phase of work. 2) Phased projects will have time frames set at the time of approvals. If the time frames set for the construction of these phases are exceed, the applicant must return to the Town Board to update the plan. 71
