43,406 Average Weekday Trip Ends, or 34,725, will be new. Similarly, 80%, or 3,168, of the 31960 P.M. Peak Hour Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the requested land use designation will be new. According to ITE, 50%, or 1,584, of the New P.M. Peak Hour Trip Ends will be outbound, and 50%, or 1,584, will be inbound. Therefore, the most intense use of the subject property under the requested land use designation will generate 1,584 new p.m. peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips. This is 936 more than the 648 generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the present land use designation. Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the trips generated by the proposed land use designation 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 S.R. 60 adjacent to this site is 1,760 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at a Level of Service (LOS) "D", while the combined existing and vested peak hour/peak season/peak direction traffic volume on this segment of S.R. 60 equals 1,218 trips. The additional 1,584 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips created by the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment will increase the total peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of S.R. 60 to approximately 2,802, or 1,042 more than capacity at LOS "D". The table below identifies each of the impacted roadway segments associated with this proposed amendment. 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. As indicated in the table, segments 1925, 2050, 3025, and 3030 do not currently have sufficient capacity at LOS "D" to accommodate the projected traffic associated with the request. Typically, when a proposed amendment or rezoning is anticipated to generate traffic in excess of capacity, a Developer's Agreement is required to ensure sufficient additional capacity is provided. For land use amendments and rezonings associated with a DRI, however, the Development Order performs the same functions as a Developer's Agreement. Therefore, the transportation concurrency requirements can be met by requiring the associated DRI Development Order, to be adopted prior to but at the same Board of County Commissioners meeting as the proposed amendment, to state that necessary improvements will be made to ensure that sufficient capacity is available to serve the anticipated traffic generation of this project. The Development Order associated with the subject request does contain these provisions for segments 1925, 3025 and 3030. Segment 2050 is programmed for expansion to five lanes by the end of the 1998 fiscal year.. That expansion will provide sufficient capacity to serve development under the proposed amendment. Therefore, with th the transportation satisfied. July 19, 1994 a adoption of the referenced Development Order, concurrency requirement for this request will be `xi BOOK PA ,E
