What: draft standards replacing a vehicle-based transportation impact analysis with a point-based, context-sensitive system for pedestrian, bicycle, transit and street improvements.
Where it stands: concept presented October 7; no vote.
2026-10-07 - Joint City County Planning Committee - Points are earned for improvements above code; a hypothetical site needed a minimum score of 35. Members worried the point system could let applicants avoid needed street standards. Staff plan to refine scoring, test more sites, coordinate with NCDOT and draft ordinance language to move with the Land Development Code.
