I JAN 1993 �ooK 88 Pn 414 The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning 3 district is 76. This was determined by multiplying the 8 units (most intense use), by ITE's single-family residential factor of 9.55 Average Daily Trip Ends/unit. The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district is 1,127. This was determined by multiplying the 118 units (most intense use), by ITE's single-family residential factor Of 9.55 Average Daily Trip Ends/unit. Since the county's transportation level of service is based on peak hour/peak season/peak direction characteristics, the transportation concurrency analysis addresses project traffic occurring in the peak hour and affecting the peak direction of impacted roadways. According to ITE, the proposed use. generates more volume in the p.m. peak hour than in the a.m: peak hour. Theref6=e, the p.m. peak hour was used in the transportation concurrency analysis. The peak direction during the p.m. peak hour on 4th Street is westbound. Given those conditions, the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning district was calculated to be 5. This was determined by multiplying the total number of units allowed (8) under the existing zoning by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit, then taking 65% of that total to ensure that only inbound trips were counted. To determine the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, the total number of units allowed (118) under the proposed zoning was multiplied by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit; that volume was then multiplied by the inbound trip factor of 0.65. The result was 77, or 72 more than the 5 that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the existing zoning. Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the trips generated by.the proposed use were then assigned to roadways on the network. Capacities for all roadway segments in Indian River County are calculated and updated annually,_ utilizing the latest and best available peak season traffic characteristics and applying Appendix G methodology as set forth in the Florida Department of Transportation Level of Service Manual. Available capacity is the total capacity less existing and committed traffic volumes; this is updated daily based upon vesting associated with project approvals. The traffic capacity for the segment of 4th Street adjacent to this site is 630 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at a Level of Service "D", while the existing traffic volume on this segment of 4th Street is 103 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction). The additional 77 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips created by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning classification will increase the total peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of 4th Street to approximately 180. Based on staff analysis, it was determined that 4th Street and all other impacted roads can accommodate the additional trips without decreasing their existing levels of service. Impacted roads are defined in the county's Land Development Regulations_ as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more daily project traffic or fifty (50) or more daily project trips, whichever is less. The table below identifies each of the impacted roadway segments associated with this proposed zoning classification. As indicated 32
