This <br />latter ratio Is a typographical error in the report and <br />should lead 40% office/60% warehouse for the light indus- <br />trial space, which is the ratio we utilized for the trip <br />generation/traffic assignment. <br />developersThe <br />actuaIIydeveIopxatca ratio of 50% off Ice/50R warehouse andl <br />the light Industrial space at a ratio of 20% office/80% <br />warehouse. In comparing the trip generation characteristics <br />of the development as assumed for the purposes of our report <br />versus that actually expected, It Is Important to note that <br />while a greater proportion of the total traffic generated by <br />warehouse space is truck trF:ffic, warehouse space generates <br />substantially less traffic on a daily basis and slightly <br />less traffic during the PM Peak Hour than office space. Tile <br />following table preser`:j the :omparlson of trip generation <br />characteristics of the development with the 'alternative`• <br />ratios for office/warehouse space. <br />
