Goal 7: Connectivity
Provide improved and new transportation connections within and between developed and de-
veloping areas.

Objective 7�1 Provide an interconnected transportation network that offers multi-modal travel choices and
minimizes out-of-direction travel for all modes�
• Strategy 7.1.1 Require development to provide an interconnected local street system, as set
forth in the Community Development Code and/or Community Plans, including a pedestrian and
bicycle network. Require accessways in locations where street connections are undesirable or
impracticable.
• Strategy 7.1.2 Require development to provide connections to established or planned access-
ways, trails, easements and other nonmotorized facilities.
• Strategy 7.1.3 Require development to address connectivity standards on lands designated on
the local street connectivity maps and/or within areas designated as transit oriented districts.
• Strategy 7.1.4 Prioritize projects that complete facility gaps and deficiencies as funding allows.
• Strategy 7.1.5 Encourage the off-street trail networks to be integrated with on-street pedestrian
and bicycle facilities.
ADOPTED TEXT Objective 7.2 Identify as Refinement Areas locations where new Arterial or Collector connections or other

improvements are necessary, but the specific location, mode and/or function has not been determined.

• Strategy 7.2.1 Within designated Refinement Areas, require that development demonstrate how
the development proposal shall either accomplish or not preclude the needs identified by the
Refinement Area.

• Strategy 7.2.2 Seek to identify the specific location, mode and/or function within Refinement
Areas and amend the appropriate maps to remove the refinement area designation, as funding
and resources allow.

Objective 7.3 Consider new road alignments shown on the Functional Classification System Map and Com-
munity Plans to be general and subject to modification depending on impacts and issues assessed during
the project development and development review process�
• Strategy 7.3.1 Analyze and design new roads when development applications are received or
funds become available.
• Strategy 7.3.2 Provide flexibility at the plan and project development level to respond to
location-specific considerations consistent with environmental, community and transportation
system objectives.
• Strategy 7.3.3 Identify new and/or additional Neighborhood Routes and Special Area Local
Streets through the development review process.
• Strategy 7.3.4 Modify alignment of proposed roads as determined through project development
and/or the development review process and consistent with the Implementation section of this
plan.
