December 30, 2019 NorthPoint Development Trip Generation Study 3 In general, the Kansas City Metropolitan Area’s Peak Hours can be categorized as most often occurring between 06:30 and 09:30 and 15:30 and 18:00. Factors that commonly affect Peak Hour variability includes the amount of commuter traffic and the distance of the commute, the amount of retail destinations near the study area, and the presence of schools near the study area. While the individual land uses within the study sites are similar, the Peak Hour for each business varied greatly depending upon the specifics of each business such as staffing schedules and if the business had a large number of the trucks entering or exiting the building in a short period of time. The majority of the buildings had the Peak Hours of the generator occurring at times other than the Peak Hour of the adjacent street. 4) TRIP GENERATION RATES (SQ. FT. AS INDEPENDENT VARIABLE) NorthPoint Development’s study areas typically have buildings with loading docks located in the back of the building or along one or two of the longer sides of the building. Buildings with rear loading docks tended to be smaller in size (108,273 sq. ft to 243,230 sq. ft.). Buildings with docks located on one or more of the long sides of the building tended to have a larger range, and all but one of them are in excess of 325,000 sq. ft. in size and ranging in size up to 927,112 sq. ft. Trip rates were analyzed for the following building types: • rear loading docks (7 buildings) • smaller cross dock (less than 600,000 sq. ft, 15 buildings) • larger cross dock buildings (6 buildings) • all cross dock buildings (21 buildings) • overall aggregate of all 28 buildings While less common than the cross-dock buildings and smaller in size, the rear loading dock buildings tended to have a significantly higher trip rate generation than buildings with cross docks. Table 2 below summarizes the Trip Generation Rates for rear loading cross dock facilities and compares them to similar ITE Land Uses. Land uses used for comparison are as follows: • Land Use 130 = Industrial Park • Land Use 140 = Manufacturing • Land Use 150 = Warehousing • Land Use 154 = High-Cube Transload and Short-Term Storage Warehouse ITE Land Use descriptions are provided in Appendix I. Raw data and graphs associated with data analysis are also contained in Appendix II-VI.
