Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 408 - Highways, Roads and Transportation Facilities › INSTALLATION AND RELOCATION OF FACILITIES AND ENCROACHMENTS › Occupancy Permits › Section 408.429 - Applicants for occupancy permits: Report on impact of traffic required; requirements for report

Current through June 11, 2024
1. An applicant for
				an occupancy permit must submit to the Department a report concerning the
				impact of traffic for all driveways and street intersections which serve major
				traffic generators. The report must be prepared by a professional engineer who
				is licensed in this state and possesses experience in transportation planning
				and traffic engineering.
2. The
				report must contain:
(a) The type and extent
				of the proposed development, including any planned expansion.
(b) A scaled plan of the site of proposed
				development. The plan must:
(1) Indicate the
				location of streets and highways adjoining the proposed development including
				the proposed points of access from the site to the adjoining streets and
				highways;
(2) Indicate the location
				of the proposed buildings, driveways and parking areas within the development;
				and
(3) Include a diagram of the
				proposed pattern of traffic within the development.
(c) A detailed description of current
				conditions of the flow of traffic on the highways and adjoining streets and
				intersections, including the existing points of access, patterns of traffic and
				posted speed limits for those highways and streets, without a consideration of
				the additional traffic that is anticipated to be generated by the proposed
				development.
(d) The projected
				amount of traffic to be generated by the proposed development, at the
				completion of the initial development and, if the development is to be
				completed in phases, for each year before the additional phase of development
				is completed.
(e) An analysis of
				the impact of traffic on the existing highways and adjoining areas by the
				additional traffic anticipated to be generated by the proposed development, at
				the completion of the initial development and, if the development is to be
				completed in phases, for each year before the additional phase of development
				is completed. Any projections for future conditions must also include increases
				in traffic expected on the highways and streets studied separately from traffic
				attributable to the development that is the subject of the report.
(f) Recommendations to mitigate any adverse
				effect on existing or anticipated future flows of traffic on the highways and
				streets assessed which is attributable to the proposed development. Measures to
				mitigate anticipated adverse effects may include, without limitation, the:
(1) Installation of traffic signals at key
				intersections identified in the report;
(2) Widening of the highways or streets to
				accommodate adequately additional volumes of traffic attributable to the
				proposed development; and
(3)
				Construction of street medians or islands to control the movement of traffic in
				and around the proposed development.
(g) A detailed description of the:
(1) Methods used to prepare the
				report;
(2) Source of information
				used in the report for existing volumes of traffic and projected future
				increases in volumes of traffic; and
(3) Procedures used for an analysis of the
				data included in the report.
