BOCK 92 PACJ 040 <br />Given those conditions, the number of peak hour/peak season/peak <br />direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of <br />the subject property under the existing zoning district was <br />calculated to be 4. This was determined by multiplying the total <br />number of units allowed under the existing zoning district (8) by <br />ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit, to determine the <br />total number of trips generated. Of these trips, 65% (5) will be <br />inbound and 35% (3) will be outbound. Of the inbound trips, 75% or <br />4 will be westbound. <br />To determine -the number of peak hour/.peak season/peak direction <br />trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the <br />subject property under the requested zoning district, the total <br />number of units allowed under the proposed district (120) was <br />multiplied by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit to <br />determine the total number of trips generated (121). Of these <br />trips, 65% (79) will be inbound and 35% (42) will be outbound. Of <br />the inbound trips, 75% or 59 will be westbound. Therefore, the <br />most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning <br />district would generate 55 (59 - 4 = 55) more peak hour/peak <br />season/peak direction trips than the 4 that would be generated by <br />the most intense use of the subject property under the existing <br />zoning district. <br />Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the peak <br />hour/peak season/peak direction trips generated by the proposed use <br />were then assigned to impacted roads on the network. Impacted <br />roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as <br />roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the <br />project traffic or fifty (50) or more of the project trips, <br />whichever is less. <br />Capacities for all roadway segments in Indian River County are <br />calculated and updated annually, utilizing the latest and best <br />available peak season traffic characteristics and applying Appendix <br />G methodology as set forth in the Florida Department of <br />Transportation Level of Service Manual. Available capacity is the <br />total capacity less existing and committed traffic volumes; this is <br />updated daily based upon vesting associated with project approvals. <br />The traffic capacity for the segment of 4th Street adjacent to this <br />site is 630 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at Level <br />of Service (LOS) "D", while the existing traffic volume on this <br />segment of 4th Street is 97 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak <br />direction). The additional 55 peak hour/peak season/peak direction <br />trips created by the most intense use of the subject property under <br />the proposed zoning district would increase the total peak <br />hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of 4th <br />Street to approximately 152. <br />Based on the above analysis, staff determined that 4th Street and <br />all other impacted roads can accommodate the additional trips <br />without decreasing their existing levels of service. <br />The table below identifies each of the impacted roadway segments <br />associated with this proposed zoning classification. As indicated <br />in this table, there is sufficient capacity in all of the segments <br />to accommodate the projected traffic associated with the request. <br />30 <br />July 26, 1994 <br />a <br />
