SUMMARY: An Annexation Study was prepared to analyze the fiscal impact of the proposed Wheeler Property annexation on the city. This was based on assumptions of tax generation from the annexation, potential uses, and projected service fees. The Council Committee considered the Approval to Proceed request for annexation at the September 10th meeting. RECOMMENDATION: ATTACHMENT: _ _ Resolution _ _ Correspondence _ _ Bid Tabulation _ _ Ordinance _ _ Contract _ _ Other ________________________________________________________________________ Approved __ __ Rejected __ __ Deferred __ __ ________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Page 18 of 39  Wheeler Property ANNEXATION STUDY September 24, 2024 Page 19 of 39  CITY OF GALLATIN, TENNESSEE WHEELER PROPERTY ANNEXATION FEASIBILITY STUDY September 24, 2024 INTRODUCTION The City of Gallatin has experienced a steady growth rate over the past thirty years. According to the United States Census Bureau, the population in the City of Gallatin increased from 30,278 in 2010 to 44,431 in 2020.The Census Bureau has estimated the 2021 Population to be 48,194. For purposes of this study a population of 48,194 was assumed. Gallatin’s growth is due in large part to its location and accessibility to the Nashville metropolitan area. Several major roadway projects recently have been completed or are under development that will improve Gallatin’s accessibility to the surrounding Nashville metropolitan area. In addition, the City’s business recruitment efforts and excellent quality of life have enabled the City of Gallatin to attract many new residential, retail, office and industrial developments. The City of Gallatin expects the growth in the City and surrounding area to continue and rapidly increase over the next 10 to 20 years. This growth is expected to occur more rapidly on the west side of Gallatin between Red River Road (SR-25) and Nashville Pike (US-31E/SR-6) and more gradually on the north, south and east sides of the City. PlanGallatin! was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in 2023 and is used to guide development in the city for the next 10 to 20 years. In 1998, the Tennessee General Assembly approved Chapter 1101, which amended Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 6, Chapters 51 and 58, requiring local governments to establish growth plans including urban growth boundaries (UBG) and encourages the adoption of comprehensive plans. The city’s initial UGB Plan was established to accommodate the city’s growth over the 20-year study period (1999-2019). The initial UGB encompassed 81 square miles (about 51,840 acres) while the current city boundary encompasses 35 +/- square miles. The Urban Growth Boundary plan was evaluated and adjusted to accommodate growth needs for the next 20 years (2020- 2040). The UGB now encompasses 82.5 +/- square miles. The City is positioned to efficiently and effectively provide the necessary urban services within most of the UGB during this time period. This includes, but is not limited to: police, fire, sanitation, streets, leisure services, electric, gas, water, sewer, codes administration, engineering, and planning and zoning services. PURPOSE OF STUDY AND STUDY AREA The purpose of this Annexation Study is to evaluate the feasibility of annexing one (1) parcel totaling 17.181 +/- acres (Tax Map 135, Parcel 033.01), located south of Nichols Lane and west of Woods Ferry Road (Location Map - Map 1, Survey – Map 2). In July 2024, the property owners and owners’ agent submitted a letter requesting approval of City Council to submit a petition for annexation of the contiguous property. The property is currently zoned RR–Rural Residential District by the County and includes a pole barn. Prior to annexation of the Woods Ferry Road corridor in 1979, the property was originally part Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 1 of 13 Page 20 of 39 of an adjacent parcel along Woods Ferry Road that includes a single-family residence. The property is otherwise undeveloped. Prior to 2015, municipalities were permitted to annex properties by Ordinance without the consent of the affected property owners. The Tennessee General Assembly amended the annexation statutes (Tennessee Code Annotated §6-51-104(d)) to limit annexation to property owners who petition the city or by referendum. In addition, annexations, with few exceptions, must occur within the Urban Growth Boundary. Since 2015, all City of Gallatin annexations were the result of petitions submitted by the property owners or consisted of public rights-of-way and were adopted by resolution. The Tennessee General Assembly again amended the Statute in 2017 to permit consideration of annexation of non- contiguous territory within the Urban Growth Boundary of municipalities provided an Interlocal Agreement is adopted by the County Commission and the City Council addressing the provision of emergency and urban services to serve the properties and the “interceding properties.” Municipalities will typically consider annexation for the following reasons: • To ensure the orderly future growth of the City and its surrounding areas; • To ensure unified planning and zoning regulations and enforcement consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and UGB plan; • To protect or enhance the current and future municipal tax base; • To increase the size and population of the community; • To distribute the cost of providing municipal services more equitably and to facilitate the long- range planning for the provisions of those services; and • To coordinate municipal services. The City of Gallatin shares similar motivations for considering the annexation of the area included in this study. In addition, the area being studied is located within the Gallatin UGB and is within a larger enclave of unincorporated territory surrounded by the City. Therefore, the City has a vested interest in ensuring the orderly future growth and development of the area in accordance with City standards including the Comprehensive Plan. No future development information for the subject property has been provided at this time. If annexed, the property will be required to go through the rezoning process to establish, at minimum, a base zoning on the property prior to any future development possibilities. Planning Commission will formally review the annexation request and make a recommendation to City Council if City Council approves a resolution authorizing the applicant to submit an application for the annexation of the property.

Many annexations and de-annexations have occurred since this time. All of the property annexed into the City between 2000 and 2015 has been at the request of individual property owners or initiated by the City. Since mid-2015, all annexations have occurred by resolution upon submittal of a petition by the property owner, and approved by the City. The City approved one non-contiguous annexation in 2017—Langford Farms (File No. 6-6301-17), is now contiguous, and another in early 2020 for The Meadows project (File No. 6-10718-19). These annexations were subject to approval of an Interlocal Agreement with the County. PLAN OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS Before any territory may be annexed, the governing body shall adopt a plan of services establishing the services to be delivered and the projected timing of the services (Tennessee Code Annotated §6-51-102). The plan of services shall be reasonable with respect to the scope of services to be provided and the timing of the services. The plan of services shall include, but not be limited to: police protection, fire protection, water service, electrical service, sanitary sewer service, solid waste collection, road and street construction and repair, recreational facilities and programs, street lighting, and zoning services. However, T.C.A. Section 6-51-102 (a) (2), exempts a plan of service by the municipal service provider if a private entity provides these services. This annexation does not include territory where water and sewer is provided by a private entity. Upon annexation, all property owners/residents in the annexed territory shall be entitled to the full benefits afforded to property owners and citizens in the City. URBAN PUBLIC SERVICES INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Public Utilities – Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Gas The Gallatin Public Utilities Department provides water, wastewater and natural gas services to residential, business, and industrial customers in the City of Gallatin and in certain areas outside the City’s corporate limits. The subject property is currently within the Gallatin Public Utilities water and gas service areas, and sanitary sewer services could be provided with improvements. PlanGallatin! was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in 2023. Sanitary sewer, potable water service lines and natural gas services are available along Woods Ferry Road. The property is within Gallatin’s utility service area and is designated with the Suburban Community Character Area in the Comprehensive Plan. Any future developer is responsible for extending utility infrastructure to and within the site. Planned Sanitary Sewer Projects The Public Utilities Department (GPU) will provide sanitary sewer service to the area upon annexation. Sanitary sewer lines can be extended from existing lines along Woods Ferry Road. Extension and construction of sewer lines within and in the vicinity of the properties will be the responsibility of any future developer. Upon completion, the City may accept any public infrastructure improvements. Planned Water Line Projects The Public Utilities Department (GPU) provides water services in the area. Water lines can be extended from existing lines along Woods Ferry Road. Extension and construction of water lines within and in the vicinity of the properties will be the responsibility of any future developer. Upon completion, the City may accept any public infrastructure improvements. Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 5 of 13 Page 24 of 39 Public Utility Gas Service and Revenues The Public Utilities Department (GPU) provides gas services in the area. Gas lines can be extended from existing lines along Woods Ferry Road. Extension and construction of gas lines within and in the vicinity of the properties will be the responsibility of any future developer. Upon completion, the City may accept any public infrastructure improvements. Public Utility Staff No additional employees or equipment are needed to provide service in the annexation area. Electrical Service The Gallatin Department of Electricity (GDE) provides electrical distribution service throughout the City of Gallatin and to several properties outside the city limits, including the subject property. GDE electricity is available for the annexation area, but facilities would need to be extended into the property. Per GDE policy, all future utilities within the annexation area shall be placed underground. This cost would be borne by the developer and individual homeowners/business owners. Recreational Facilities and Programs The Parks and Recreation Department provides recreational and athletic services for both city residents and non-residents. Parks and Recreation operates approximately 486 +/- acres of recreational/athletic parks, facilities/properties, and open space, including a 136-acre, 18-hole municipal golf course on Long Hollow Pike and a multi-purpose civic center which is used for a variety of civic, sports, and recreational activities. In addition, the City operates approximately 193 acres of Army Corps of Engineers park/recreational facilities within or adjacent to the city including Lock 4 Park located on the south end of Lock 4 Road. On April 16, 2019, the City acquired 67.9 +/- acres of property in three (3) locations around the City. At the publishing of this report, no formal plans have been drafted for the future use of these properties. The department responsible for the maintenance and programming of this space is not known at this time; therefore, it is not included in the overall park acreage calculations and annual maintenance budget projections. The benefit and use of all recreational facilities and programs currently provided by the City of Gallatin will be available to residents of any future development after the effective date of the annexation and will be provided with existing personnel, facilities, and resources. This additional cost to the City to provide an equal per capita expenditure for City services is partly offset by the paid services for fitness classes, pool access, golf course greens fees/memberships, etc., and other rental events/service fees charged at City owned facilities operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. The annual City budget contains a line item for Cash Receipts and Charges for Services, which includes revenue generated by the City Parks and Recreation Department and other City Departments. The individual department contributions are not provided in the budgetary data. Public Works - Solid Waste Collection The Public Works Department provides residential solid waste collection and disposal services throughout the City. Additionally, it provides brush collection/disposal and junk collection/disposal services. Sumner Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 6 of 13 Page 25 of 39 County currently does not provide solid waste collection services. Residents that live outside the City in the County must either contract for collection by a private hauler or take their solid waste to the Sumner County Resource Authority. Many commercial businesses also contract with private haulers. The City of Gallatin will begin collecting solid waste in the annexation area if needed based on the provisions set forth in Chapter 14 of the Gallatin Municipal Code. Depending on the growth rate citywide, additional vehicles may be required to provide solid waste collection services. Public Works - Street Construction and Repair The Public Works Department provides street construction, resurfacing, and repair and maintenance services throughout the City using in-house crews and contractors, depending on the specific scope of the work. In addition, the Engineering Division and the Planning Department program long-range street planning in coordination with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. Any proposed roadways within the future development of this area will contribute to street repair costs. The Comprehensive Plan indicates a collector roadway bisecting this property and connecting Nichols Lane and Peach Valley Road in the future. Any additional budget allocations for the roadways will include revenue from the property collected on the additional homes or businesses on the property or from State and Federal sources. Public Works – Vehicle Maintenance The Public Works Department provides vehicle maintenance for all city vehicles. Depending on the growth rate of the city, additional Public Works service vehicles and new positions may be required to service the city including the annexed area. The equipment will have to be maintained. Street Lighting Street lighting is managed and maintained by the Gallatin Department of Electricity (GDE). Street lights provide lighting for safe use of the streets at night, particularly at intersections. While some benefit is received by abutting properties, the street lighting program is not designed to provide security lighting. Street lighting can be extended into the annexation area along with the extension of the electric facilities and is normally installed with the occupancy of buildings in a developed area. The Gallatin Department of Electricity (GDE) has completed installation of the newer, high-efficiency LED street lights. The City of Gallatin owns and operates 4,266 overhead street lights, pedestrian oriented decorative street lights, and traffic signals within the City Limits (Table 1). It pays $315,000 annually to the Gallatin Department of Electricity for these devices. A specific street lighting plan has not been prepared for the property so an exact estimation cannot be determined on the new lights to be owned and operated by the City of Gallatin. The current cost is $73.84 per fixture annually.

Any roadways within a future development will require streetlights in conformance with GDE requirements and costs. Planning and Zoning Services The City of Gallatin Planning Department provides planning and zoning services throughout the City. The City’s Zoning Ordinance is applied and administered to determine the most appropriate zoning and uses for their property consistent with the PlanGallatin! and other land development regulations. The Municipal Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing and recommending rezoning requests and approving development proposals. The City Council is responsible for approving rezoning requests. The Planning Department also investigates and resolves zoning complaints and violations. The Sumner County Planning and Codes Department is responsible for planning and zoning services in the areas located outside of the city limits and within the UGB. As the City continues to develop, additional planning staff will be necessary to provide the same level of service to the community. However, the proposed annexation can be served by existing Planning Department resources without significant costs to property owners or to others in the City. Building and Codes Administration The Building Codes Department is responsible for reviewing building plans and issuing residential and non-residential building permits and providing the necessary inspections to ensure compliance with adopted city codes throughout the City. The City no longer enforces municipal code violations outside of the city limits. Sumner County is responsible for enforcing nuisance complaints outside of the city limits. Buildings and Codes Administration Services will be available immediately upon the annexation of the area and will be provided by existing Codes Department staff with minimal added expense. Police Services The City of Gallatin Police Department provides enforcement and safety education services within the corporate limits of the City of Gallatin with a strong focus on domestic violence intervention, traffic safety, and community outreach programs. A 2021 Annual Report by the Gallatin Police Department indicates the department has 120 total staff positions, including 93 sworn officers, 13 civilian staff, and 14 reserve officers (Gallatin Police Department). The Sumner County Sheriff’s Department has 100 deputies to service the entire County with a population of 196,281 (2020 US Census). The City of Gallatin has mutual aid agreements with surrounding jurisdictions to provide/receive additional support when needed. Additionally, joint task forces have been established, including the Emergency Response Team, the Drug Task Force, DUI checkpoints, criminal investigations, and criminal prosecutions. Several growth related factors influence crime control and prevention service effectiveness, including: • The recommended level of service based on a 2.55 police officers per 1,000 population ratio, • the extent of the geographic service area, • the culture/nature of crimes, and • population density and concentration. In 2007, the Municipal Technical Advisory Services (MTAS) recommended that the City maintain an Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 8 of 13 Page 27 of 39 officer to population ratio of 2.55 police officers per 1,000 citizens. The national average is 2.4 officers per 1,000. The current support personnel ratio is slightly more than 1.0 per 3,707 citizens (48194/13) and the current officer ratio of one sworn officer per 450 persons. A similar ratio should be maintained to provide the same level of service as the city grows. The police department currently operates seven (7) patrol zones with at least one officer assigned per zone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Gallatin Police Department assigns each officer his/her own vehicle. The Police Department indicated that one additional police officer and departmental vehicle would be needed to provide service to this area at this time. Fire Protection Services The City of Gallatin Fire Department (GFD) provides full-time fire protection and first responder medical service to all City residents and visitors. The GFD currently has 97 full-time positions, including 90 shift personnel, 6 administrative personnel and 1 civilian staff member. Based on this staffing level, the city provides one firefighter per 484 (48194/97) persons. The area would primarily be served by Fire Station No. 5. The community’s fire protection qualifies for a Fire Insurance Rating (Insurance Service Organization - ISO) of 4. The Fire Department indicated that no additional staffing, fire stations, or fire apparatus are needed to provide fire and EMA first responder services to this area. PROJECT REVENUES AND COST FEASIBILITY Upon adoption of a Plan of Services resolution and annexation resolution, the city shall provide the documents to the Emergency Management Communications Center per Section 6-51-119, Tenn. Code Annotated. In addition, per Section 6-51-115, Tenn. Code Annotated, the City shall provide information to the state pertaining to all sales and use taxes. The current property tax revenues are identified in Table 2 below and all tax revenue is allocated to Sumner County. Table 2. Current Property Tax Revenues for the Tax Parcel Map & Parcel Number Total Use Assessment Value Estimated Appraisal Value Property Taxes 135 033.01 $41,000 $10,250 $232 PROPERTY VALUATION Residential Assessments and Tax Revenues Residential property in Sumner County is assessed at 25 percent of its appraised value. Other land uses, such as commercial uses, are assessed at 40 percent of appraised value. The City of Gallatin’s current tax rate (FY2024) is $0.53 per $100 of assessed value and Sumner County’s current tax rate (FY2020) is $2.26 per $100 of assessed value. Property owners located within the City of Gallatin pay a combined property tax rate (City and County) of $2.79 per $100 of assessed value. Following the annexation of the properties, city taxes would also be assessed. The additional property tax revenues are identified in Table 3. Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 9 of 13 Page 28 of 39 Table 3. Current Property Tax Revenues for the Tax Parcel Map & Parcel Number Total Use Assessment Value Estimated Estimated City Appraisal Value Sumner County Property Property Taxes Taxes 135 033.01 $41,000 $10,250 $232 $54 Upon development of the property, approximately $286 in property tax revenue would be generated including $54 in yearly property tax revenue to the city. If the properties are redeveloped, these numbers would increase substantially. Even though the total tax liability of property in the county is less, some insurance carriers may provide reduced premiums for homes and businesses within the service area of a municipality since these areas would be served by a full-time fire department and the municipal police service. These cost savings were not considered as part of this analysis. City services available within the City of Gallatin to city residents include:  Full-time fire protection provided by Gallatin Fire Department  Increased level of police protection provided by Gallatin Police Department  City resident rates for recreational services provided by Gallatin Leisure Services Department at City parks and the Gallatin Civic Center  City of Gallatin Planning, Zoning, Building Code, Property Maintenance, and Animal Control Services  Lower home insurance and casualty rates for homes with City police and fire protection  Stormwater fee for homes in the city  Availability of curbside solid waste collection and disposal and use of the city recycling center  Full access to City utility services at lower rates Stormwater The City of Gallatin is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Phase II, to manage stormwater discharges (Enviromental Protection Agency, 2019). In July of 2018, the City adopted an ordinance creating a Stormwater Utility and Fee program to provide an action plan and a revenue source for the City to meet its MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer) systems. As part of the ordinance, a monthly, per residence fee was created and billed through the appropriate utility provider (GPU or WHUD). The Stormwater fund is revenue neutral, with revenue generated equaling expenses. Therefore, no additional expenses beyond those that are generated by the fund will impact the City. The Homeowners Association will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of any stormwater features in the development including the public roadways, when the city retains a stormwater easement. A long-term maintenance agreement will be filed with the City upon approval of a Final Plat for any future project. Wheeler Property Annexation Feasibility Study Page 10 of 13 Page 29 of 39 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed annexation for 17.181 acres borders the city limits in multiple locations and is within close proximity to Highway 109. Additionally, the property shares ownership with four acres already within city limits along Woods Ferry Road. The property is currently not developed to its full potential under current county zoning and is designated with the Suburban Character Area under PlanGallatin. This implies that it would be appropriate to expect more development of the property for residential uses. This request presents a unique situation from a cost-benefit analysis perspective due to the amount of information that is not known but also is not required at the time of annexation. City services such as utilities, fire and police services, and administrative and permit costs cannot be more definitively and fully evaluated since there is no specific development tied to the annexation request. Potential revenue and expenditures will be dependent upon the future development of this site and could necessitate amending or updating this report. Outside of the economic aspects of the annexation, this property is within a small enclave on the south side of the city, makes geographic sense for annexation, and already receives some city services due to its proximity to utility lines/facilities. For these reasons, the Planning Department endorses the proposed annexation. This annexation study was prepared after receiving the request to submit a petition of annexation for presentation to the City Council. A Plan of Service Resolution will be considered with an Annexation Resolution following a Planning Commission recommendation. The City of Gallatin is prepared to provide for the future growth and development that is expected to occur over the next 10 to 20 years. However, if annexation is not pursued in a timely manner, the City’s ability to successfully manage this growth will be negatively impacted.

RECOMMENDATION: ATTACHMENT: _ _ Resolution _ _ Correspondence _ _ Bid Tabulation _ _ Ordinance _ _ Contract _ _ Other ________________________________________________________________________ Approved __ __ Rejected __ __ Deferred __ __ ________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Page 33 of 39  DRAFT Summary of Updated Traffic Calming Policy I. General Purpose a. Provide for safe and efficient traffic control at the City’s intersections, b. Encourage traffic to travel on the City’s major streets, c. Discourage through traffic from using residential subdivision streets, d. Avoid the excessive and arbitrary use of multi-way stop signs within residential areas, and e. Provide a structured approach to the treatment of residential streets which are perceived to have excessive negative impacts due to traffic speeds and/or volumes. II. Stakeholder Communications and Outreach Guidelines a. Request Submittal – HOA or neighborhood group must complete the Traffic Calming Applicant Questionnaire (Appendix C) and submit to the Engineering Division. Application must be approved by neighborhood group (HOA) or at least 4 separate resident owners or the application will be denied. b. Initial Review of Application – City Engineering Staff will have an informational discussion with the applicant to describe the process, impacts, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 measures (Appendix A). This can be done via email, phone call, or informal meeting. c. Traffic Studies – City Engineering Staff will conduct traffic studies to investigate identified concerns in the Traffic Calming Applicant Questionnaire. d. Discussion of Strategies with the Petitioner/HOA – A diversified review team -- the Traffic Calming Steering Committee -- consisting of appropriate officials from the city, emergency services and other public service agencies will review the application. If results of traffic studies find traffic calming is needed, a discussion with the applicant about next steps will be had. If results of traffic studies do not meet minimum threshold requirements, applicant will be notified that traffic calming measures will not be applied. e. Implementation Considerations – If traffic calming measures are recommended, they will be installed as a temporary trial for at least 2 weeks to several months. If temporary trail proves to work, the measures can be installed permanently if 2/3rds of the households support it. III. Traffic Calming Implementation a. Eligibility – Traffic calming measures are only applicable on residential local and identified residential collector streets as designated by the Engineering Division and the Master Transportation Plan. This Policy is not applicable to arterial streets, major collectors, or non-residential collector streets as these classifications of roads are meant to carry the bulk of traffic. The Policy is also not applicable to routes identified as a primary emergency route. b. Procedures for Traffic Calming Retrofits on Existing Streets i. Traffic Calming Study Street Criteria – traffic studies must show the street meets the following criteria: Page 34 of 39  DRAFT 1. Speed – residential collector and residential local streets which have an 85th percentile speed that exceeds 8 MPH or more over the posted speed limit. 2. Volume – only residential collectors and residential local streets having an average daily traffic (ADT) count of at least 500 vehicles per day will be considered. Total ADT should be less than 5,000 vehicles per day. 3. Other Criteria – street segment under study must be at least 800 feet in length. Total volume should consist of less than 5% trucks. Logical termini for beginning and ending of the traffic calming measure must be identifiable. The street must have no more than two traffic lanes (one in each direction). The study will include analysis of traffic volumes, traffic speeds, accident history for the subject street segment, and other transportation related features such as the presence of sidewalks, and whether the subject street is used by children to walk to school. ii. Tiered Implementation Approach – two tiers of traffic calming strategies. Tier 1 consists of non-construction strategies. Tier 2 strategies are those which typically require construction, and which physically change the street in some way. Accepted Tier 1 and Tier 2 strategies can be found in Appendix A. Implementation of Tier 1 strategies will be required first unless it is determined by the City that Tier 1 strategies are either not viable, would not be effective, or have already been attempted. In most situations, Tier 1 must be implemented for a period of six months before Tier 2 strategies are considered. iii. Funding – The City will fund the Tier 1 and Tier 2 strategies, subject to available funds as provided through the City's normal budgeting process. Use of private funding by residents or HOAs to leverage city funding to expedite implementation is permissible subject to approval by the City Council. Landscaped installations (except perimeter curbing and similar structural elements) must be maintained by the neighborhood group. c. Traffic Calming for New Subdivisions – Engineering Division is responsible for determining appropriate traffic calming measures within a new subdivision as they go through the plan review process. The Developer shall be responsible for installing/constructing the measures. IV. Multi-Way Stop Sign Implementation a. Implementation shall follow the most recent guidelines of the MUTCD. The MUTCD has several warrants that one or more must be met before an All-Way Stop can be installed: i. All-Way Stop Control Warrant A: Crash Experience (see Section 2B.13) ii. All-Way Stop Control Warrant B: Sight Distance (see Section 2B.14) Page 35 of 39  DRAFT iii. All-Way Stop Control Warrant C: Transition to Signal Control or Transition to Yield Control at a Circular Intersection (see Section 2B.15) iv. All-Way Stop Control Warrant D: 8-Hour Volume (Vehicles, Pedestrians, Bicycles) (see Section 2B.16) v. All-Way Stop Control Warrant E: Other Factors (see Section 2B.17) b. The satisfaction of an All-Way Stop control warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the installation of All-Way Stop control at an unsignalized intersection c. Per the MUTCD 2B.06.06, “YIELD or STOP signs shall not be used for speed control.” V. Appendix A a. Tier 1 Traffic Calming Measures i. Signage (regulatory or warning) ii. Centerline or edge line/shoulder striping (with or without bike facility) iii. Request for Enhanced Police enforcement of speed limit (in addition to routine enforcement regularly performed by Police Department) iv. Speed trailer v. Speed limit feedback signing (permanent) vi. Other strategies proposed by the petitioner or staff which present no physical changes to the street b. Tier 2 Traffic Calming Measures i. Medians or median islands (typically must fit within right-of-way) ii. Traffic circles or roundabouts (subject to sufficient right-of-way) iii. Speed humps (See Appendix B for eligibility) iv. Curb extensions/bulb-outs v. Chicanes vi. Speed tables/raised crosswalk vii. Raised intersection viii. Textured pavements ix. Other strategies proposed by the petitioner or otherwise approved by staff (subject to approval by City Council) VI. Appendix B a. Speed Cushion Implementation i. Acceptable Street Locations – speed cushions may be installed in residential areas if ALL the following conditions are met: (see Policy for full description) 1. Street is functioning like a collector street but does not have the standard width to effectively serve as a collector. 2. Speeding where the 85th percentile speed exceeds 8 MPH or more above the posted speed limit. 3. No speed cushions on arterial or collector streets. Page 36 of 39  DRAFT 4. Must be a local street with average daily traffic (ADT) between 500-2,500 vehicles per day. Speed cushions can be removed by the City at any time if traffic counts don’t fall in this range. 5. Must have a petition from the neighborhood with support from at least 2/3 of the households. 6. Speed cushions are seen as a last step option for traffic calming. Other measures must be tried for a period of six months before speed cushions are implemented. 7. Traffic Calming Steering Committee must approve the speed cushion locations. VII. Appendix C a.
