2.2.29 POLICY

2.2.29.i   Policy T21: Vehicle Speeds

 

               It is the policy of the Council to effect an overall reduction in vehicle speeds to an acceptable level and to reduce the potential for traffic congestion and associated vehicular emissions in urban areas through integrated place-making design on particular streets and in appropriate areas throughout the County.  (See also Policy No. ES14 Air Quality in Environmental Services Section).  (See also the street design concepts set out in the Sustainable Neighbourhoods section of the Plan, for application in urban and residential areas.  Also refer to Policy No. ES17 ‘Air Quality’ in Environmental Services section).

2.2.29.ii   Policy T22: Integrated Traffic Calming in Place-Making Design

               It is the policy of the Council to implement integrated place-making design in residential areas where appropriate, in accordance with a countywide strategy, and to ensure that traffic calming is integrated into the design of new developments and implemented before dwellings are occupied.  (See also the street design concepts set out in the Sustainable Neighbourhoods section of the Plan, for application in urban and residential areas).

 

2.2.36.i   Policy T32:  Vehicular Entrances & Exits, Roads & Services, Building Lines, and Access Roads

 

               It is the policy of the Council that all development proposals shall be consistent with the requirements of the Council with respect to vehicular entrances and exits, roads and services, building lines, and access roads.  (See also the street design concepts set out in the Sustainable Neighbourhoods section of the Plan, for application in urban and residential areas).

In order to cross-reference these policies with other relevant sections in the Plan and in order to correct the number of the specific policy referred to in Policy T21 (i.e. Policy ES17 instead of ES14). 

 

 

Recommendation

That the amendment be adopted.
