ALLIANT W00DALE APARTMENTS I/ Trip Generation Memorandum PAGE 4 <br />1.4 LAND USE COMPARISON <br />To provide a comparison of the expected impact on the adjacent roadway network of non-residential land uses <br />that could have been considered for the site, the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition was once again <br />utilized to estimate trip generation potential. Medical, office, and retail land uses in addition to the previously <br />established trips for the proposed development were included in the comparison. To ensure consistency <br />between trips generated for each land use, the planned building footprint of 42,263 square feet was maintained. <br />Estimated site generated traffic by land use, based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, is detailed in Table 2. <br />Table 2.

These totals are fewer than <br />all three comparable land uses (medical, office, retail) with a general office building expected to generate <br />roughly 1.5 times as many daily trips, a clinic expected to generate 2.5 times as many daily trips, and a shopping <br />plaza expected to generate nearly 4.5 times as many trips. <br />1.5 CONCLUSI <br />ONS <br />The proposed Woodale Apartments development is expected to generate approximately 52 a.m. peak hour, 55 <br />p.m. peak hour, and 636 daily trips with 95 percent of trips navigating to / from Mounds View Boulevard to the <br />east. Based on the expected distribution, impacts to Woodale Drive, the adjacent roadway network, and the <br />neighborhoods to the west of the development are expected to be minimal. Furthermore, the trips generated <br />by the development are less than they would be with other land uses utilizing a comparable footprint. <br />Alliant No. 222-0147.0 <br />
