The pruneyard Inn and its appurtenances will generate an estimated 1170 daily vehicle trips and 80 peak hour trips when fully occupied. This amount of traffic will increase existing traffic volumes at six nearby signalized intersections on Bascom Avenue and on Campbell Avenue. The percentage increases to total PM peak hour traffic at these intersections is one percent or less. If comparisons are made between the amount of traffic that would be generated by the pruneyard Inn and traffic that would be generated by the potential retail space that is being removed by the project, it is shown that the project will generate the same number of daily trips and 28 percent less PM peak hour trips than the retail development. i Project Description The pruneyard proposes to build a motel development, namely The pruneyard Inn, on a portion of the existing Pruneyard shopping center in Campbell. The project consists of a 94-room motel with breakfast room for motel guests, a 1000 square foot restaurant/cafe and 2800 square feet of retail shops. The floor plans are shown on Figures 1 and 2, which are reduced scale copies of schematic floor plans prepared by Hedley and Stark, Inc., Associates Architects. The location of the Pruneyard Inn is on the north side of the pruneyard shopping center, between Grodins and the Food Villa. It will be built on space now occupied by vacant building shells originally intended for retail shops. These buildings with 23,000 square feet of potential retail space will be demolished. Access to the site will be from Campbell Avenue by way of the main Pruneyard exit-entrance driveways, or from Bascom Avenue by way of the existing collector drive along the north side of the shopping center. Project Trip Generation Trip generation from the project has been calculated using rates published in the 3rd Edition Trip Generation Handbook by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The rates are summarized below: Daily Trip Rate Peak Hour Factor (PM Peak Hour) Land Use Motel Retaurant Retail 10.14 TE/occupied room 74.9 TE/IOOO sq. ft. 50.6 TE/1000 sq. ft. 6.4% 8.2% 9.5% According to ITE, a motel is classified as a place of lodging offering sleeping accommodations and possibly a retaurant. Most of the motels surveyed by Caltrans and referenced in the ITE studies included restaurants. The breakfast room on the second flor is intended to be for the convenience of motel guests and is included in the motel trip generation; traffic from the cafe has been calculated separately, since this may be used by the general public. The trip generation for the retail stores has been calculated at the rate that applies to the entire Pruneyard shopping center, which is stated to be 50.6 trips per 1000 square feet for a shopping center with 200,000 to 299,000 square feet. 1 Trip generation from the project is as follows: Daily PM Peak Hour Land Use Size Trips Trips In/Out Motel 94 rooms 953 61 30/31 Restaurant 1000 sq. ft. 75 6 4/2 Retail 2800 sq. ft. 142 13 7/6 TOTALS: 1170 80 41/39 Project Traffic Distribution Project generated traffic has been distributed to the surrounding street system as follows: for the motel traffic, 60 percent of the trips have been assigned to Bascom Avenue northbound, 20 percent to Bascom Avenue southbound and 20 percent to Campbell Avenue westbound; for the retail and restaurant traffic, trips have been distributed uniformly in all directions. PM peak hour project traffic distribution is shown on Figure 3. Project Traffic Impacts Traffic impacts have been assessed by comparing project traffic with existing traffic at six nearby signalized intersections, using traffic counts furnished by the City of Campbell. A 1.5 percent per year growth factor has been added to all existing counts to update them to 1986. The percentage increases at the intersections are as follows: Intersection Hamilton/Bascom Bascom/Campisi Bascom/Campbell Campbell/Union Orchard City/First First/Civic Center Existing Traffic (wi th growth) 7674 4469 6028 3425 1573 1372 Project Trips 44 44 18 18 9 9 Total Trips 7718 4513 6046 3443 1582 1381 % Increase to total intersec- tion traffic 0.6% 1. 0% 0.3% 0.5% 0.6% 0.7% Discussion of Project Traffic Impacts The ITE rates for retail facilities reflect the fact that traffic generated at shopping centers includes trips made for more than one purpose. Thus, many of the trips to the commercial facilities adjoining the pruneyard Inn will 2 be made by motel guests or by others already at the pruneyard shopping center. Also, many of the motel guests may patronize other shops, restaurants or movie houses in the Pruneyard shopping center without adding any traffic to the surrounding road system. Net traffic impacts may be less than what has been calculated. The ITE rates for motels are trips per occupied room. The calculations for the pruneyard Inn assume full occu- pancy of all rooms. On days when all rooms are not occu- pied, the trip generation will be less. We have made observations of traffic conditions at the driveways serving the pruneyard at various times. It is our observation that there are no particular problems for traffic entering or exiting the pruneyard by way of the existing driveways, although there may be short delays for traffic waiting to turn left at various times. Gaps are created in the traffic flow on Campbell Avenue and on Bascom Avenue by the signals at Campbell Avenue/Union Avenue, Bascom Avenue/Campbell Avenue and Bascom Avenue/ Campisi Way, which allows left turns to be made. Delays are most apt to occur at noon time or early afternoon, rather than at peak hours on the adjoining street system. Motel traffic will be nominal at these times of day. Traffic impacts have been calculated for all of the project traffic. Actually, the project is removing 23,000 square feet of potential additional retail shopping space, which would generate roughly the same amount of traffic, as follows: The project will generate 1170 daily trips and 80 peak hour trips as detailed in the trip generation section of this report. 23,000 square feet of retail space would generate 1164 daily vehicle trips and III peak hour trips, which is the same amount of daily traffic and more peak hour traffic than the proposed development. Traffic impacts of the motel development are less than the traffic impacts from the retail shopping space that is being replaced. 3 - i ~ ~ ~ ~ I I i1 ! I I i lJ . , ~ TE ~ r-=--= Ir- j ~ ! ~I ! l .
