and regulations shall apply.
Planning 
b) Development of the property shall be in general conformance to the project narrative entitled
“Silver Rock Community Master Plan Amendment”, consisting of 112 pages, dated May 11,
2026, and stamped received on May 11, 2026, except as modified by these conditions of

Engineering 
e) Prior to any development within the remaining portion of Silver Rock, the CMP, Master Plans
& Reports, and accompanying exhibits shall be amended in accordance with current City
Engineering Design Standards. Said CMP Amendment shall be considered a Minor
Amendment.
Transportation 
f) Prior to approval of any site plan, pre-plat or planning entitlement project, a MASTER Traffic
Impact Analysis is required to be submitted and approved. All requirements of the Traffic Impact
Analysis shall be reflected on the approved construction drawings. This MASTER TIA should
also analyze the proposed initial phase of development in addition to the entire development at
full build out. Each subsequent proposed phase will be required to provide an update to the
MASTER TIA that supports the phase being proposed.
g) Roadway alignments must match the City Council adopted Transportation Master Plan. Any
variations that are proposed may require additional analysis or additional City approval.
h) Prior to the release of any civil permit, the Property Owner/Developer shall pay a pro rata
share cost of up to nine (9) regional future traffic signals to be installed within this section of
land. The pro rata share is based on a ratio of the project acreage to the developable acreage
within the section. The sectional contribution is to be based on the following allocation of costs:
(i) 25 percent share of four (4) possible signals at arterial street intersections; (ii) 50 percent
share of four (4) possible signals at half-mile collector street intersections or project entries; and
(iii) 100 percent share of one (1) possible signal internal to this project. The cost shall be based
on an anticipated signal cost as determined by the City.
i) All non-regional traffic signals that are required by this project shall be funded and constructed
by this project prior to C of O.
j) All regional traffic signals required by this project shall be constructed by this project prior to C
of O. This may have a reimbursable component from the regional signal fees collected by the
City from other parcels per City Engineer approval.
k) All medians required for controlling site access (RI/RO, ¾ (RI/RO/LI)) shall be constructed
with this development.
l) In the event that access to and within the project is deemed a threat to public safety and
security by the City, the City has broad authority to take such action as it deems necessary to
address such a threat until such time as the Property Owner/Developer eliminates the safety

concerns to the City’s satisfaction. The Property Owner/Developer is responsible for revising the 
roadway and access layout to alleviate the City’s concerns with respect to public safety and 
security. Any such changes will be considered a minor change to existing site plan approvals 
and shall be approved by the City. 
m) ITS conduits (2 7-way micro-ducts) must be installed along all major arterial, arterial, major
collector and collector streets (as needed) per City standards, including any necessary splice
boxes.
n) Driveway spacing and storage requirements shall be per Table 1 of the COB Engineering
Design Standards (EDS) Section 6-3.
o) All major intersections will require right turn slip lanes and dual left turn lanes per City Detail
63300.
p) Roadway classifications and cross sections will need to be verified with the TIA and may
need to be updated to current standards.
q) On major local or local streets with a running length longer than 1200', traffic mitigation must
be shown on the plat. Traffic calming mitigation can include elements such as chicanes and
footballs and must be implemented with initial design. These traffic mitigation strategies may
require no parking signs in areas where the traffic mitigation elements make on street parking
unsafe or unfeasible. Additional ROW to ensure these mitigations are feasible may be required.
r) 4-legged intersections will require 2 way stop signs at a minimum and all way stops at major
intersections as determined by the City at time of pre-plat submittal.
s) 3-legged intersections that have higher traffic volumes and non-typical traffic patterns are
required to have a minimum of a 2 way stop.
