Josh Nyquist,Executive Director of Building Operations May 26,2022 PACT Charter School I Traffic Impact Study Page 11 The proposed development (see Figure 4) consists of the PACT Charter School, a public school for grades six through twelve (6-12) to be developed in five student enrollment phases as follows: Phase One: School Year 2022-2023 - 392 Grade 6-12 students enrolled Phase Two: School Year 2023-2024 - 517 Grade 6-12 students enrolled Phase Three: School Year 2024-2025 - 596 (potential increase to 637) Grade 6-12 students enrolled Phase Four: School Year 2025-2026 - 675 (potential increase to 728) Grade 6-12 students enrolled Phase Five: School Year 2026-2027 - 734 (potential increase to 790) Grade 6-12 students enrolled PACT Charter School anticipates most of its student population will use provided school bus transportation. PACT anticipates 60 percent of the students will utilize 12-14 traditional,yellow, full- size and short buses for school transit at this time. PACT anticipates 25 percent will be parent drop- off/pick-up and the remaining 15 percent will be student drivers. PACT operations will include a 9- month academic calendar from August 31 st to May 27th with hours of operation between 7:30AM to 4:OOPM. Student drop-off/pick-up periods will be between the hours of 7:30AM to 8:OOAM and 3:05PM to 3:35PM, respectively. The first 15-minutes of each period is the peak demand window. The PACT Charter School may also generate special event related trips associated with the athletic facilities and diverse academic activities. It should be noted that the number of these special event trips may range widely depending on the event and that these trips are not regularly occurring trips. Therefore, these special event trips were not considered normal weekday activity and were not included in the traffic forecasts and analysis for the PACT Charter School development. The proposed development also includes the Church of St. Katharine Drexel- 6.5 acres on southeast corner, approximately 400 parishioners (current facility seats 250 and only reaches capacity on Christmas and Easter Weekends and mostly on Sunday). The City has requested the church use to be incorporated in the traffic impact study. Access to the church site would be provided at the shared primary (east) site access. The Church's plans are preliminary and subject to change. trip Generation Estimates Trip generation estimates for the weekday a.m. combined (commuter and school) peak hour, school dismissal peak hour and p.m. commuter peak hour plus daily trips were made for the proposed development and were developed based on the average rates contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE) Trip Generation Manual, I Ith Edition.The a.m. combined peak hour and p.m. commuter peak hour trips were estimated based on ITE peak hour of adjacent street data. Results of the weekday vehicle trip generation estimate shown in Table 5 indicate that the proposed PACT Charter School and St. Katharine Drexel Church projects development is expected to generate a total of 627 a.m. combined peak hour trips,547 school dismissal peak hour trips, 187 p.m. commuter peak hour trips, and 2,498 daily trip ends (50 percent in/50 percent out).
