Title
Focused Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) - 61 Unit Residential Tract on the East Side of Acacia Avenue north of Randall Avenue.
(ACTION ITEM)
Body
BACKGROUND:
On November 8, 2018, the 1st Scoping Agreement was submitted for the proposed residential subdivision. On January 28, 2019, the 1st TIA was submitted and reviewed. On March 4, 2019 a revised 2nd TIA was submitted and on March 12, 2019 a 3rd TIA was submitted.
The proposed project consist of 61 single family detached residential dwelling units on 8.53 acres of land on the east side of Acacia Avenue approximately 750 feet north of Randall Avenue. The project is projected to generate 576 average daily trips (ADT) with 45/60 AM/PM peak hour trips.
The site location is shown on Page 2 of the TIA in Figure 1, which is included as Attachment 1, while the site plan is shown on Page 3 in figure 2 of the TIA, which is included as Attachment 2.
The site will have one main access onto Acacia Avenue approximately 900 feet north of Randall Avenue. There is also a proposed secondary emergency only access located approximately 700 feet north of Randall Avenue. The main access on Acacia Avenue was analyzed as full access. The width of the main access (84 feet) suggests there will be proposed gates at the main drive indicating a potential for restricted access to the interior streets. The depth of the entrance is approximately 65 feet.
The trip impacts were estimated using data from the 10th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation publication based upon a residential use, which is very close to similar rates published in the 9th Edition. Page 19 Table 2 of the TIA, which is included as Attachment 3, shows the estimated Project Trips. Total estimated daily project trips are 576 with...
