JUL-11-00 TUE 13:33 HILLCREST DEVELOPMENT FAX N0, 3782424 P. 04 • W.Hoff Heiberg -3- July 7,'2000 with two lanes for each direction of travel. There is also a well-developed internal road system that provides for circulation within the site. TRIP GENERATION From the above information about the original and post-development conditions on the Apache Plaza site, trip generation was developed for both the original development and post-redevelopment scenarios. Trip generation rates were estimated for both scenarios using information published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (FM). In both scenarios,we first determined the gross trip generation, which is the sum of all estimated trips to and from each land use within the overall development. Next,in order to determine the net new trips to the adjacent roadways, we reduced the gross trip generation to account for internal/multi-use trips and pass-by trips. Internal trips are trips that originate and end with in the site, and multi-use trips are external trips that make two or more stops at different developments within the site. Pass-by trips are existing trips on the adjacent roadways that include a stop at the development. From previous experience and information published by ITE,reductions were applied as follows: a) 20%reduction of gross trips to account for multi-use and internal trips for both the original and post-redevelopment scenarios. This results in the total volume on all driveways serving uses within the development b) Reduction to account for pass-by trips. This factor is applied to the total driveway volumes from step a)in order to determine the net new trips added to the roadway system. • 35%reduction for original development scenario recognizing its complete retail character. • 25%reduction for post-redevelopment scenario because the high-tech office uses would not generate as many pass-by trips. Table 1 shows the trip generation for the original Apache Plaza development. The original development is estimated to have generated 13,242 daily new net trips and 1,290 p.m. peak hour new net trip ends. Table 2 shows the trip generation for the proposed redevelopment of Apache Plaza In the post-development scenario, the site is expected to generate 11,510 daily new net trips and 1,324 p.m. peak hour new net trip ends. This post-development scenario includes all other developments that have been established on the original site.
