VI. BUILD CONDITIONS <br />Traffic Forecasts <br />The full build traffic forecast was calculated by combining the anticipated growth (2040 <br />No -build volumes) with the expected amount of trips the proposed development will <br />generate. Trip forecasts were generated using the information within the Institute of <br />Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. ITE provides codes that <br />correlate a land use with the anticipated traffic based on previous studies. <br />Figure 4 shows different trip generation zones within the development along with the <br />land use in each zone. These zones are based on where traffic will enter/exit the <br />development. Zone 1 will be evaluated with four alternatives in the north quadrant; a <br />high school, K-12 schools, Business Park, and low density residential. The business park <br />option is expected to generate the most traffic in Zone 1 (2,000 peak hour trips, 7,050 <br />daily trips), while the low density residential option is expected generate the least amount <br />of traffic in Zone 1 (1,150 peak hour trips, 4,900 daily trips). The total development <br />(Zones 1-5) is projected to generate anywhere from 18,500 to 23,300 new daily trips. <br />More detailed information regarding trip generations for each scenario is included in <br />Appendix B. <br />The following access assumptions were made for each zone: <br />Access off of Bunker Lake Boulevard: <br />• Zone l & 3 <br />Access off of Armstrong Boulevard: <br />• Zone 2 <br />Access off of Puma Street <br />• Zone 4 <br />Accesses off of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma Street <br />• Zone 5 <br />Trips to and from the development area are generally directed to the south to T.H. 10. <br />The trips were distributed to the roadway using existing trip distribution as a basis. The <br />generated trips from the proposed development were added to the 2040 No -Build <br />forecasted volumes to develop the 2040 Build conditions. The trip distribution to and <br />from the development is shown in Figure 5. The 2040 Build traffic volumes can be seen <br />in Figure 6.1 thorough 6.4. <br />The different alternatives correspond to the land use on the north side of Zone 1. <br />Alternative lA assumes a high school is built, Alternative 1B assumes K-12 schools are <br />built, Alternative 2 assumes a business park is built, and Alternative 3 assumes low <br />density residential homes are built. <br />Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. — R16.109828 <br />Future Business Park <br />Build Conditions <br />Page 15 <br />
