TL2 Metro Station Policy Area LATR Standards
In each Metro Station Policy Area, the Planning Board, in consultation with the Department of
Transportation, must prepare performance evaluation criteria for its Local Area Transportation
Review. These criteria must be used to accomplish: (a) safety for pedestrians and vehicles;
(b) access to buildings and sites; and (c) traffic flow within the vicinity, at levels which are
tolerable in an urban situation. The County Executive also must publish a Silver Spring Traffic
Management Program after receiving public comment and a recommendation from the Planning
Board. This program must list those actions to be taken by government to maintain traffic flow
at tolerable levels in the Silver Spring CBD and protect the surrounding residential area.
Any proposed development located in the White Flint Metro Station Policy Area is exempt from
Local Area Transportation Review if the development will be required to provide substantial
funds to ~ new development district or ~ new impact tax district to finance master-planned public
improvements in that Policy Area. However, the traffic impact of any development in that
Policy Area must be considered in any Local Area Transportation Review calculation for any
development elsewhere.
