Grey Fox Road Redevelopment – Arden Hills Traffic Impact Analysis │ June 2022 6 for the Automated Car Wash land use, the PM peak hour data was used for the AM peak hour. Both trip generation approximations are anticipated to be conservative assumptions. Trip generation data was based on ITE Land Use Code (LUC 720) (Medical-Dental Office Building), ITE (LUC 911) (Walk-in Bank), and ITE (LUC 934) (Fast Food Restaurant with Drive Through), and ITE (LUC 948) (Automated car Wash) were used to calculate the trip generation potential of the site. Table 1 provides a summary of the number of trips anticipated to be generated during the weekday AM and PM peak hours. As shown, the site is anticipated to generate 295 new trips during the AM peak hour (153 entering, 142 exiting) and 264 new trips during the PM peak hour (132 entering, 132 exiting). Table 1 – Site Trip Generation For this analysis, it was assumed that all site trips will be vehicle trips. To be conservative, it was assumed that all site trips would be new trips and no mode split reductions for trips via transit, bike or walking were used. SITE TRIP DISTRIBUTION The site trips were distributed to the adjacent roadways based on the current traffic patterns in the area and a general assessment of the major regional roadways surrounding the study area. In general, the following global trip distribution was assumed for the development: x 50% to/from the north on Lexington Avenue x 40% to/from the south on Lexington Avenue x 10% to/from the west on Grey Fox Road The trip distribution for the site-generated traffic is shown in Exhibit 6. SITE ACCESSES AND ASSIGNMENT The site will include two (2) accesses. Access 1 will be located on the north side of Grey Fox Road, approximately 240 feet west of Lexington Avenue, with one egress lanes and one ingress lane. Access 1 will be aligned with the existing grocery access to the south to minimize conflict areas. Access 2 will also be located on Grey Fox Road, approximately 360 feet west of Lexington Avenue, with one egress lane and one ingress lane.
