, North Heights Traffic Impact Study AlIiant Engineering. Inc. AprilS, 2003 Trin Generation Based on the development described above, a trip generation/parking analysis was conducted by the project team for three scenarios. The analysis is included in Table A-2 included in Part 7- Appendix, Scenario A represents a worst-case weekday evening conference combined with other activities throughout the building. Scenario B represents a worst-case Sunday service, Scenario C represents a special event, such as the Splendor of ChristflUl1J or the Passion Play. Two time periods were analyzed as part of the traffic study. The trip generation is tabulated in Table 5 and described in the paragraphs below. Time Period I corresponds to the weekday PM peak hour (4:30-5:30 pm). This analysis will provide information relating to impaets to the roadway system that could be expected on a regular basis. The trip generation for the PM peak hour is based on the activities included under parking analysis Scenario A in Table A-2. The Conference and Youth Auditorium traffic will be subtracted, because they are not typical occurrences. In order to account for other activities, including classroom, breakout room, and gymnasium use, 200 vehicles arriving sometime during the course of the evening will be added to this scenario. This results in 305 vehicles entering and exiting the facility on a typical weekday night. The vehicles entering and exiting during the PM peak period is a small percentage of this total. Assume that 20% of the 305 vehicles enter during 4:30-5:30 PM period and assume 10% exit during this time period. Time Period 2 corresponds to a major event at the ehurch on a weeknight. The results of this analysis will provide information relating to impacts that may be more severe, but that would occur on an infrequent basis. The trip generation will be based on Scenario C, event traffic. Based on the existing event study, assume 90% of entering vehicles (1515) arrive during a one hour period prior to the event. Likewise, assume 85% of exiting vehicles (1515) depart during the one hour period following the event.
