The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the present" land use designation is 9,951. This was determined by multiplying the 1,042 DU's (most intense use) by ITE's factor of 9.55 Average Daily Trip Ends/DU. — The number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trip ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the present land use designation is 684. This was -determined by - taking 65% (peak direction) of 1,042 DU's (most intense use) multiplied by ITE's factor of 1.01 peak hour trip end/DU. The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the requested land use designation is 43,406. This was determined by multiplying 11517,175 square feet of Shopping Center Use by ITE's factor of 28.61 Average Weekday Trip Ends/1000 square feet. The number -of P.M. Peak Hour Trip Ends associated with the .most intense use of the subject property under the requested land use designation is 31960. This was determined by multiplying 1,517,175 square feet of Shopping Center Use by ITE's factor of 2.61 Peak Hour Vehicle Trip Ends/1000.square feet. The ITE has determined that 80% of the trip ends associated with the most intense use of the subject property under the requested land use designation will be new trip ends. Therefore, 80% of the 43,406 Average Weekday Trip Ends, or 34,725, will be new. Similarly, 80%, or 3,168, of the 3,960 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 proposed land use designation will generate 11584 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 land use designation 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 the proposed -- land use designation amendment. Impacted roads are defined in the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%-) or more daily project traffic or fifty (50) or more daily project trips, whichever is less.
