Engineers · Planners · Consultants April 5, 1994 Job No. 94-32 TRAFFIC GENERATION STATEMENT Ridgeway Plumbing Expansion Boynton Beach, Florida SITE DATA The subject parcel is located on the east side of Industrial Avenue approximately 1600 feet north of Boynton Beach Blvd. Existing site improvements on the currently developed site consist of a 3000 S.F. office and 7750 S.F. warehouse facility for Ridgeway Plumbing. ,Proposed development consists of expanding the existing facility with 3000 S.F. of additional office space and 11,625 S.F. of additional warehouse space. For additional information concerning site location and layout, please refer to the site plan prepared by Gator Engineering Services, Inc. TRAFFIC GENERATION The Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code Article 7, Section 7.9 (I) C - Traffic Performance Standards, APPLICABILITY, Subsection 2 (B) requires that for any application for a site specific development order on property on which there is an existing use shall be subject to the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards to the extent the' traffic generation projected for the site specific development order exceeds the traffic generation of the existing use. The generation rates and capture rates of the existing use shall be updated to current pro forma traffic generation and pass-by rates and shall be used to calculate previous approval traffic. The previous approval traffic currently being generated by the existing Ridgeway Plumbing facility may be calculated as follows in accordance with the rates provided in Table 10.8-1 Fair Share Road Impact Fee Schedule: WAREHOUSE (7750 S.F.) 7750 S.F. x 4.88 tpd 1000 S.F. = 38 tpd 4623 Forest Hill Boulevard, Suite 112, West Palm Beach, Florida 33415 Telephone (407) 965-9144 Traffic Generation Statement Job No. 94-32 April 5, 1994 - Page Two TRAFFIC GENERATION (CONTINUED) OFFICE (3000 S.F.) Utilize generation rate of 24.6 tpd per 1000 S.F. for facilities less than 10,000 S.F. in size: 3000 S.F. x 24.6 tpd 1000 S.F. = 74 tpd TOTAL: 112 tpd The traffic to be generated by the total facility following the 3000 S.F. office addition (and the 11,625 S.F. warehouse addition to be completed in 1994) may be calculated as follows: WAREHOUSE (19.375 S.F.) 19,375 S.F. x 4.88 tpd 1000 S.F. = 95 tpd OFFICE (6000 S.F.) 6000 S.F. x 24.6 tpd 1000 S.F. = 148 tpd TOTAL: 243 tpd The proposed expansion will therefore result in a net increase of 131 trips per day over the existing uses: 243 tpd - 112 tpd = 131 tpd Traffic Generation Statement Job No. 94-32 April 5, 1994 - Page Three TRAFFIC GENERATION (CONTINUED) The Palm Beach County Land Development Code Article 7, Section 7.9 (I) G Procedure, Subsection 1 (C) (2) provides that amendments to non-residential projects generating fewer than 200 gross trips shall not be required to submit a Traffic Impact Statement. A brief review of the directly accessed link (Boynton Beach Blvd. between Old Boynton Road and Interstate 95), however, reveals that adequate capacity is available to support the proposed expansion and the project appears to meet the requirements of the Traffic Performance Standards. The low A.M. and P.M. peak hour turning movement volumes at the project entrance with Industrial Way do not warrant the construction of exclusive turn lanes based on the Palm Beach County engineering guidelines used in determining the need for turn lanes of 30 left turns or 75 right tur-ns in the peak hour. No site related improv~ments on Industrial Way are therefore recommended. P.E. fJJie City of $oynton $each 100 'E. 'Boynton 'Beadi. 'Boufe.vartf P.O.
