Ms. Jessica Jagoe, Associate Planner September 4, 2018 Page 4 4. A comparison of trip generation for the proposed AFSA school and the parcel’s previous office use is presented on page 4 in Tables 1 and 2. TABLE 1 AFSA TRIP GENERATION Source: Biko Associates, Inc. and AFSA, August 2018. TABLE 2 30,000 SF OFFICE TRIP GENERATION Daily Trips AM Peak Hour: (7:15 to 8:00 AM) PM Peak Hour: (4:15 to 5:00) In Out Total In Out Total ITE Code 715: 30,000 SF Office 350 50 5 55 8 42 50 Source: Trip Generation, 10th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers. As shown in the two tables, the volume of daily trips is similar. However, the AFSA school site will generate almost four times as many trips as the previous office use during the AM peak hour, and, by comparison, 50 fewer trips during the PM peak hour. As discussed above on page 3, even with nearly four times as much AM peak hour traffic, the volume of trips entering and leaving the site will not negatively impact northbound and southbound traffic flow on Country Drive. On-Site Impacts: 1. As shown on Figure 1 on the following page, traffic will flow in one direction (clockwise) on the site. With traffic entering the site via the south driveway and circulating in a clockwise direction around the west side of the building, the north driveway will be used to exit the site. This will prevent: a) the likelihood of on-site congestion and b) occurrences where vehicles (school buses and automobile) approach each other in a head-on fashion. Signage will be posted in conspicuous locations to notify drivers of the appropriate driveway to use for entering and exiting the site.
