generated by particular land uses based on a variety of variables (numbers of units, numbers of <br /> employees,per thousand square feet of floor area,etc.). <br /> A. Apartments <br /> The trip generation for the site while it was a 150-room hotel was 1,338 trips per day. That included <br /> 101 trips to and from the site in the A.M.Peak Hour(7-8 A.M.),and 105 trips to and from the site in <br /> the P.M. Peak Hour. The proposed reuse of the former hotel site is to convert the building into a <br /> market-rate apartment building. The building would comprise 150 efficiency apartment units. Table <br /> IA shows a comparison of the trip generation potential of the 150-unit apartment building with the <br /> 150-room hotel use. <br /> Table 1A. <br /> Trip Generation Comparison—Hotel vs.Mid-Rise Apartments <br /> Land Trips Generated: <br /> Land Use Type Use Size AM peak PM Peak Weekday <br /> Code Enter Exit Enter Exit ADT <br /> Apartment Residential 220 150 units 15 61 60 1 33 998 <br /> 76 total 93 total <br /> Hotel Lodging 310 150 rooms 59 1 42 51 1 54 1,338 <br /> 101 total 105 total <br /> This comparison shows that the apartment building will generate fewer trips than was evidenced by <br /> the previous hotel use. Table IA shows the estimated number of trips based on the number of <br /> apartment units based on data taken from apartment buildings and complexes throughout the country. <br /> In comparison, this development is intended to be market-based apartments consisting of efficiency <br /> units. Therefore,fewer occupants per unit are likely to be residing in the building than are typical for <br /> apartment complexes. Rather than using the number of units as the variable, a more appropriate <br /> variable may be to use the number of persons (tenants) as the variable. In this case, assuming a rate <br /> of 1.5 persons per unit, a maximum occupancy of 225 persons would be expected in the apartment <br /> building. Table 1B shows the number of trips this would generate. <br /> Table 1B. <br /> Trip Generation Comparison—Hotel vs.Mid-Rise Apartments <br /> Land Tri s Generated: <br /> Land Use Type Use Size AM peak PM Peak Weekday <br /> Code Enter Exit Enter Exit ADT <br /> Apartment Residential 220 225 persons 13 50 59 31 745 <br /> 63 total 90 total <br /> RLK Incorporated Page 2 of 8 February 13,2012 <br /> Co.Rd.E&Lexington Traffic Study 2011-052-M <br />
