traffic generated; 3) estimated maximum peak hour traffic generated and time of occurrence; 4) source of trip generation rates used in the estimates; and 5) availability of transit and/or other alternative transportation modes. Traffic Generation The trip generation of the proposed development scenarios were estimated based on data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation Manual, 11r' Edition. A combination of ITE Land Use Code (LUC) 210 (Single -Family Detached Housing), LUC 215 (Single -Family Attached Housing), LUC 220 (Multifamily Residential, Low rise), and LUC 821 (Shopping Plaza) were utilized to estimate the trip generation potential of the two development scenarios. Estimated trip generation figures are given below in Table 13. Table 13: Trip Generation Forecasts The full traffic study conducted for the AUAR can be found in Appendix D. Parking The development will conform to the off-street parking requirements outlined in section 1007.052 of the City of Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances. Transit There is no transit service located near the study area. Bike and Pedestrian Infrastructure The development of the AUAR site will include connections to the nearby trail systems, including a regional trail along Main Street which will connect from Lexington Avenue to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve trails southeast of the site. Sidewalks will be a priority for any development that occurs in the AUAR area. b. Discuss the effect on traffic congestion on affected roads and describe any traffic improvements necessary. The analysis must discuss the project's impact on the regional transportation system. If the peak hour traffic generated exceeds 250 vehicles or the total daily trips exceeds 2,500, a traffic impact study must be prepared as part of the EAW. Use the format and procedures described in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Access Management Manual, Chapter 5 (available at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/accessmanagementlresources.htmi) or a similar local guidance. AUAR Guidance: For AUAR reviews, a detailed traffic analysis will be needed, conforming to the MnDOT guidance as listed on the EA IN form. The results of the traffic analysis must be used in the response to Items 17 and 19. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was completed in May 2025 based on the projected trip generation of the two proposed scenarios. The results of this study can be found in Appendix D. Based on the detailed findings of this study, the area's transportation network is expected to support development within the AUAR study area with mitigation. The TIA includes intersection capacity analyses for intersections adjacent to the AUAR study area and included the review of intersection operations at proposed access points (see locations identified on Figure 18). Other minor access points were included in the analysis based on the anticipated access locations (see the TIA in Appendix D for more information).
