1.Introduction <br />This traffic analysis has been conducted as part of the preparation of an Areawide Urban Alternative <br />Review for the TCAAP site development. This memorandum includes additional detail about the <br />analysis results than the AUAR, and a more comprehensive summary of the results provided in the <br />AUAR. To determine the impacts on the local roadway network, a traffic operations analysis was <br />conducted for intersections within the vicinity of the Proposed Project for the various development <br />scenarios, and mitigation measures are identified based on the results.The project location is shown <br />Figure T1 <br />in .A more detailed project area, including the AUAR Study Area boundary is shown in <br />Figure T2 <br />. <br />2.Methodology <br />The traffic analysis includes two site development scenarios and roadway network scenarios to <br />address traffic impacts found in future conditions. This section defines the scenarios to be analyzed, <br />and the methodology toward the definition of the mitigation measures to be included in the AUAR <br /> <br />mitigation plan.Each of the elements below include both AM and PM peak hour condition analyses. <br />a.Analysis Scenario Descriptions <br />Site Development Scenarios <br />In addition to Existing and 2030 No Build Scenarios, thedevelopment scenarios include aYear 2030 <br />Minimum Development Scenario and a Year 2030 Maximum Development Scenario. The minimum <br />development scenario is the anticipated land use based on zoning requirements for theCity of Arden <br />Hills, which provided a constrained analysis. A year 2030 Maximum Development Scenario has also <br />been analyzed to evaluate a land use mix thatmaximizes the acceptable use of available and <br />potential infrastructure, seeking a balance of financial feasibility, while maintaining community <br />Table 1 <br />livability and sustainability. shows the land use that has been identified for the two land use <br />scenarios. <br />Table 1 Land Use Plan Scenarios <br />Minimum Scenario Maximum Scenario <br />Units / K sq. ft.
