Table 1 shows trip generation for the three new uses, and Table 2 shows a comparison of the trip generation for existing uses with full occupancy and upon completion of the proposed redevelopment. As indicated in Table 2, the proposed redevelopment will generate about the same number of trips as the existing uses with full occupancy during the a,m. peak hour. During the p,m. peak hour and on a daily basis, the proposed redevelopment will increase the trip generation for the site by about 50 percent, Table 1 Weekday Trip Generation for Proposed New Uses ITE Land Size Unit A.M.

To determine the extent to which the proposed redevelopment would alter the traffic operations at the two driveway intersections, we completed the following steps: I) Base traffic counts, As described earlier, we completed existing (2007) traffic counts at the two driveway intersections and at the Lexington A venue/County Road E intersection during the p,m. peak period on a typical weekday. Our traffic counts were adjusted to account for full occupancy of the existing uses as discussed previously. These adjusted 2007 counts form the basis for our traffic forecasts and analyses for the post- redevelopment condition. 2) Analysis year and background growth. Consistent with normal practice, we completed traffic forecasts and analyses for the year after expected full completion ofthe proposed redevelopment, which is 2009, Based on comments raised by County staff, a 1.5 percent 2 Based on traffic counts at the two driveway intersections on County Road E and Lexington Avenue. 3 Based on driveway traffic counts and lIE data. 7
