Summary of Report
The pruneyard proposes to build the pruneyard Inn,
a 94-room motel with some associated retail and restaurant
space, on a site that is now occupied by vacant buildings
originally planned for retail use.
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.

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:

Bascom/Campisi
Bascom/Campbell

First/Civic Center

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.
