The results of this scoping discussion will be included in the Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSOQ) and, ultimately, guide the hiring of a consultant team with both engineering and planning expertise.  The consultant's efforts will result in a final report which the Council may then use as the basis for a future policy discussion regarding potential code or standards amendments.  

Over the past several months and in various forums, the community and City Council have given staff feedback on topics of interest and items to be explored for changes to the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) standards and Transect Code.  Staff has listened to this feedback and prepared the attached TIA/Transect Scope of Work options document for review and discussion.  Staff is recommending the use of a consultant to analyze the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) standards and Transect Code.  In an effort to gain input from the Council and public, staff is looking for firm Council direction to finalize the consultant's scope of work at this public work session.

Regional Plan
The Regional Plan Goal and Policies that could be applied to TIAs and the Transect Code are too numerous to list in relation to a general discussion on the scoping of consultant work that could result in amendments to the TIA standards or Transect Code. Any proposed amendments to the TIA standards or Transect Code that result from the consultant's work will go through an extensive Regional Plan analysis.
