Project Banjo Traffic Study — Regional Analysis Addendum PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT April 22, 2022 Page 6 The proposed development, shown in .; ?, includes construction of a 141,000 square foot industrial building generally bounded by Commerce Drive to the north, Fairview Street to the south, 201h Avenue (CR 54) to the west, and 21s' Avenue to the east. The proposed development is assumed to be fully constructed and operational by the end of 2023 or early 2024. The facility will provide a combination of warehouse, logistics, and distribution operations. The building will be a delivery facility that primarily serves the northeast Twin Cities metropolitan area. Given the operating and logistical characteristics of the user, peak activity of the site is expected to occur between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., with limited activity during traditional a.m. and p.m. peak hours (i.e., 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. and 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.). The operations have a direct correlation to the sorting equipment inside the building and the number of van loading spaces. Further information regarding trip generation and peak seasonal activity is provided later in this report. The developer anticipates a total headcount of approximately 543 employees on site throughout the course of the day during typical conditions. This headcount represents the total amount of employees in the building throughout the day, regardless of position or responsibility. The development is expected to operate in six shifts. The anticipated shift times and employment structure is shown in Employees will primarily run the inside operations of the building. Outside of these core shifts, there might be a limited amount of other people inside the building doing small tasks such as equipment maintenance or janitorial services. Table 3 Employment Shift Summary Shift Time Employee Count 15t Shift 2:00 AM — 12:30 PM 102 2nd Shift 6:00 AM — 2:30 PM 33 3rd Shift 1:30 PM — 10:00 PM 33 4th Shift 2:00 PM — 6:00 PM 26 5th Shift 12:00 PM — 10:30 PM 5 6th Shift 9:20 AM — 9:00 PM 344 Access to the site will be provided via Fairview Street and 21st Avenue. Two driveways are planned along Fairview Street, which will primarily serve the van parking area. Three driveways are located along 21st Avenue; the northern driveway will be a truck only access, the central access will be the employee access, and the south access will be the primary exit for delivery vans. Up to a total of 874 parking stalls are proposed for the site, of which 297 spaces are designated for associate parking and 577 spaces for van parking. Additional discussion regarding site access and parking is provided within the site plan review section of this study.
