Kimley>Morn The existing Rosedale Center has approximately 1,150,000 square feet of leased retail space. The Herberger's space is an additional 150,000 square feet, however, the store was closed at the time the data was collected. The proposed South Campus Master Plan will include a mix of residential, hotel, office, and retail. The vacant Herberger's building will be demolished and the surface parking on the southeast quadrant will be converted to residential buildings and structed parking. Based on the current master plan, there is anticipated to be 250 market rate residential units, 175 active adult housing units, two 150-room hotels, 100,000 square feet of general office, and a net increase of 205,000 square feet of retail space (includes 40,000 square feet of entertainment land use). There is also an additional 15,000 square feet of retail space planned on outparcels west of the Macy's building. SITE ACCESS The Rosedale Center is currently served by four signalized access points, one on Fairview Avenue and three on County Road B2 W. With the proposed master plan, there are no new site access points being proposed. However, the master plan includes the conversion of the existing one-way internal ring -road to a two-way internal ring road. The trip assignment is based on the assumption that the ring road is converted to two- way. TRIP GENERATION Trip generation for the additional retail space was based on the turning movement counts performed in January and February 2019. Based on the counts, there was approximately 2,205 trips generated during the weekday PM peak hour and 3,480 trips generated during the Saturday peak hour. Based on the existing 1,150,000 square feet of leased space, the weekday PM peak hour trip rate equated to 1.76 trips per 1,000 square feet and the Saturday peak hour trip rate equated to 3.03 trips per 1,000 square feet. These trips rates were used to determine the amount of traffic generated by the proposed retail space. The Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, Tenth Edition, was used to calculate the anticipated net new external project trips for the remaining land uses assumed for the proposed development (residential, hotel, and office uses). Internal capture was calculated consistent with the ITE Trip Generation Manual, and worksheets are provided in Appendix B. Table 1 provides the trip generation calculation for the proposed and existing square footage. Based or the calculation, the proposed expansion is anticipated to generate 575 new trips during the weekday PM peak hour (280 entering and 295 exiting) and 845 trips during the Saturday peak hour (470 entering and 375 exiting).
