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.
