SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Denying or modifying an application for rezoning when transportation network is inadequate.  Allows a locality to provide in its zoning ordinance for the denial or modification of an application for rezoning when the existing and future transportation network is inadequate to handle the anticipated transportation impact of the proposed development. In determining whether the transportation network is inadequate, the locality shall provide in its zoning ordinance for the consideration of the following: (i) the locality's comprehensive plan, the Department of Transportation's secondary road and other transportation plans, or such other available information regarding the transportation network that will serve the proposed development; (ii) whether the proposed development reduces the level of service in the existing and future transportation network, as determined by the locality in consultation with appropriate transportation agencies; and (iii) whether the design and phasing of the proposed development, the funded capital improvements program, or other combination of public and private resources will address the anticipated transportation impact of the proposed development.
