Pearson Farm Residential Development EAW Draft — March XX, 2017 <br />levels/sources in the area, 2) nearby sensitive receptors, 3) conformance to state noise standards, and 4) <br />quality of life. Identi& measures that will be taken to minimize or mitigate the effects of noise. <br />It is anticipated that local noise levels will temporarily increase during project construction, but noise <br />levels are expected to be at or near existing levels after construction is complete. Noise levels on and <br />adjacent to the project area will vary considerably during construction, depending on the amount of <br />construction that occurs simultaneously, the time of operation, and the distance between construction <br />equipment and receptors. The noise receptors nearest to the project area include the residential areas <br />northeast and east of the site. Noise generated by construction equipment and residential building <br />construction will be limited primarily to daylight hours when noise levels are commonly higher than <br />at night. <br />18. Transportation <br />a. Describe traffic -related aspects of project construction and operation. Include: 1) existing and proposed <br />additional parking spaces, 2) estimated total average daily traffic generated, 3) estimated maximum peak <br />hour traffic generated and time of occurrence, 4) indicate source of trip generation rates used in the <br />estimates, and 5) availability of transit and/or other alternative transportation modes. <br />Spack Consulting completed a Traffic Impact Study to estimate the trips generated by the proposed <br />residential development and evaluate the potential need for transportation or roadway improvements. <br />The complete Traffic Impact Analysis is included in Appendix E. <br />Existing and Proposed Parkin Spaces <br />The project area does not include any parking stalls under existing conditions. The proposed 246 <br />single-family lots and 98 multi -family homes will include off-street parking and garages to <br />accommodate parking for the residential units. <br />Estimated Traffic Generation <br />Trip generation was estimated using the methodology outlined in the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition (2012). Future trip generation estimates were <br />based on traffic generated by 246 single-family and 98 multi -family residential units. The residential <br />development is expected to generate a total of 2,912 average daily trips, including 1,456 vehicles <br />entering the site and 1,456 vehicles exiting the site (Table 9). <br />Table 9.
