HIGH RIDGE PROPERTIES
CONCURRENCY TRAFFIC IMPAG ANALYSIS
Introduction
Pinder Troutman Consulting, Inc. has been retained to conduct a traffic impact analysis for a
proposed expansion of an existing industrial development in the City of Boynton Beach. The
purpose of this study is to determine if the proposed development meets the requirements of
Article 15, Traffic Performance Standards, of the Palm Beach County Unified Land
Development Code (ULDC).
Site Data
The site is located along High Ridge Road north of Gateway Boulevard, as shown on Exhibit
1, in Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) 419. It is proposed to expand the existing facility by 35,820
SF. Access to the proposed project is via two (2) driveway connections to High Ridge Road
and one driveway to Industrial Way. Year 2001 conditions were examined for this analysis.
Existing (1998) Traffic Conditions
Exhibit 2 provides the 1998 annual average daily traffic (MDT) volumes for the surrounding
roadway network as compiled by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) of Palm
Beach County. Peak hour traffic volumes were determined by applying a 'K' factor of 9.3%
to the MDT volumes. These volumes are also shown on Exhibit 2 along with roadway lanes,
levels of service (LOS) and the adopted LOS 0 service volumes.
Project Traffic
T rip Generation
Section 10.8, Fair Share Road Impact Fees, of the Palm Beach County ULOC was
reviewed to determine acceptable daily trip generation rates for the proposed
project. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation, 6th Edition
was utilized as the source for peak hour trip generation rates.
Exhibit 3 provides the daily, AM and PM peak hour trip generation data, for the
proposed development. For Traffic Performance Standards purposes, based on the
j'[( ,",~ 11 ~ n'l'orl
daily trip generation of 237, the Test 1 radius of development influence is one-half
mile. The Test 2 radius of development influence is the directly-accessed link
Trip Distribution and Assignment
A directional distribution was developed based on a review of land use patterns and
existing travel patterns. Exhibit 4 shows the assignment of daily and peak hour
project traffic as well as the project impact percentage (% of daily adopted service
volume).
Future Traffic Conditions
Roadway Improvements
A review of the Transportation Improvement Program (FY 1999-2003) from the MPO
of Palm Beach County, adopted June 17, 1999, and the Palm Beach County Five
Year Road Program, adopted February 2, 1998, was undertaken.
Background Traffic
Historic growth trends and Major Project traffic must be analyzed in the projection of
future background traffic volumes. Historic growth data is provided on Exhibit 5 for
the surrounding roadway links. Major Project data, compiled by Palm Beach County,
was reviewed. No Major Projects are projected to have a 10% impact on the study
area roadways within the analysis time frame of the proposed development.
Traffic Performance Standards Analysis
Test 1 (Link Test)
This first test of the Traffic Performance Standards examines if any roadway links are
projected to operate below adopted level of service standards. Exhibit 6 shows future
daily, AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions for the analyzed roadway links. All
analyzed roadway links are projected to operate above the adopted Test 1 level of
service standards, therefore, the requirements of Test 1 are met.
p /( Ii'L , 1.J ~t'fJ()rt
2
Test 2 (Model Test)
The second test examines traffic conditions based on model projections that are
developed and maintained by Palm Beach County. The directly accessed link of
High Ridge Road is not a Test 2 deficiency; therefore, the requirements of Test_2 are
met.
Intersection Analysis
Major intersections for which a proposed development adds more than 10% of the
total traffic on any link connecting a major intersection are required to be analyzed.
No major intersections meet this requirement based on the proposed development's
impact.
Driveway Volumes
AM and PM peak hour project driveway volumes are provided on Exhibit 7.
Conclusions
This analysis shows that the proposed development meets all of the requirements of the
Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
