The start of last night’s Jackson Planning
Commission meeting was a mix of farewell and job well done to Wayne Garibaldi,
who was recently appointed to the Jackson City Council, and the selection of
Letitia Sexton as the new chair. Dave Butow will take another term as
Vice-Chair. Sexton thanked Garibaldi for listening to her ideas while he served
on the commission, an important gesture towards a new member. Later in the
meeting, Sean Rabe gave an overview presentation of the revised
Amador County Transportation Commission Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. ACTC is requesting that city and
county governments adopt uniform standards for traffic impact analysis
and mitigation for new development. It should also speed up the review process
since a summary section is now required to be included in a Transportation
Impact Study. The revised ACTC
guidelines will now require the developer to evaluate of impacts on transit,
bike and pedestrian facilities along with recommendations for fixing
these problems. It also includes Fair Share and Cost estimates to better
understand the financial impact.
