This is a Traffic Impact Study for the development of a Checkers fast food restaurant
located at the northeast quadrant of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Old Boynton Road in
the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. See Figure 1, Site Location Map.
SUMMARY
The analysis in this report concludes that the proposed development does not represent
an adverse traffic impact, as evidenced by the following conclusions:
· The future roadway network will be adequate to provide acceptable levels
of service on those links which are in the project's Radius of Development
Influence (RDI).
· The Checkers' development can demonstrate compliance with Test One
of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Code.
· The proposed development is also in compliance with Test Two of the
Traffic Performance Code.
This report follows the guidelines set forth by the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standard and the City of Boynton Beach.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The plan for new development on the site will provide for a Checkers fast food restaurant.
Figure 2 illustrates the proposed development.
Site Plan
The proposed development will be located at the northeast quadrant of Boynton Beach
Boulevard and Old Boynton Road in Boynton Beach, Florida. Two drive-thru facilities will
be provided.
Site Access
Two access points are proposed for the site. A right turn in only will be located on
Boynton Beach Boulevard east of Old Boynton Road. A second access to be located on
Old Boynton Road north of Boynton Beach Boulevard will allow for all movements.
Scheduled Buildout
The anticipated buildout for the proposed site is expected to occur by the middle of 1994.
This report assumes that total traffic impacts will occur at the time of buildout.

TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARD
IH
j~
The Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code sets forth the criteria which
evaluate the potential traffic impacts associated with proposed development in Palm
Beach County through the Traffic Performance Standard.
Provisions of the Standard
The Traffic Performance Standard consists of two tests, both of which must be satisfied
in order for a site-specific Development Order to be issued:
· Test One - Evaluation of the roadway network on a daily and peak-hour
basis at the buildout of the proposed site, and
· Test Two - Evaluation of the Year 2010 Interim Transportation System
Plan.
Since this development will generate more trips during the p.m. peak-hour as compared
to the a.m. peak-hour, only the p.m. peak-hour will be analyzed under Test One.
If both of the tests can be satisfied, the project can be given development approval.
5
EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
The foundation for the analysis of traffic impacts from the proposed site is the existing
conditions on the roadway network.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Table 1 presents the 1992/1993 annual average daily traffic conditions while Table 2
presents the p.m. peak-hour traffic volumes from traffic count stations in the area. Counts
were taken from the most current Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) Traffic Volume Count Map. Peak-hour volumes were calculated by applying a "K"
factor of 0.096 to the daily traffic volumes. This "K" factor is acceptable as indicated in
the Traffic Performance Standard.
Capacity Analysis
Generalized Daily Two-Way and Peak-Hour Service Volumes and Capacities are found
in the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Ordinance. They include Level of Service
"0" thresholds:
Lanage
~
Peak Hour
Two-lane road
Four-lane road
Six-lane road
13,700 vehicles per day
30,200 vehicles per day
46,300 vehicles per day
1,310 vehicles per hour
2,900 vehicles per hour
4,400 vehicles per hour
The vlc ratios shown in Tables 1 and 2 are simply the volume divided by the capacity.
If the ratio is one (1.00) or less, then the volume on the roadway is at or better than Level
of Service "0", which is acceptable as defined by Palm Beach County standards.
Tables 1 and 2 indicate that one roadway in the area (Boynton Beach Boulevard between
1-95 and Seacrest Boulevard) is operating at an unacceptable level of service on an
average daily and peak-hour basis.

FUTURE CONDITIONS
Before evaluating the relative traffic impacts from the proposed site, the future conditions
on the roadways without the project impacts were established. These conditions are
described by the future traffic volumes expected by the middle of 1994, the Checkers
development year of buildout.
Programmed Roadway Improvements
An examination of both the Palm Beach County and FOOT Five Year Work Program
indicates that there are no scheduled improvements to the roadway network in the
immediate area of the proposed site.
Future Traffic Volumes
In order to assess the availability of capacity at buildout of the site, future traffic volumes
were formulated.
Palm Beach County provides compounded growth rate data in their Traffic Performance
Standard Reference Document, 1992. This document provided very flat or negative
compounded growth rates along Boynton Beach Boulevard. As such, a one percent per
annum growth rate was used to estimate future conditions on Boynton Beach Boulevard.
Other compounded growth rates, as summarized below, were taken directly from the
referenced document and used to estimate future traffic volumes:
, Old Boynton Road between Military Trail and Boynton Beach .....4.73%
· Congress Avenue between Woolbright Rd. and Boynton Beach. . . . 4.51 %
· Congress Avenue between Boynton Beach and NW 22nd Ave ....7.15%
, Seacrest Boulevard north of Boynton Beach Boulevard . . . . . . . . . 11.75%
· Seacrest Boulevard south of Boynton Beach Boulevard .........6.23%
· Lawrence Road between Woolbright Rd. and north of Old Boynton . 7.37%
Maior Developments
Another component of the development of background growth data is approved committed
development in the area.
According to the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Ordinance, a major project is
any project, including those within municipalities, which is:
.
A Development of Regional Impact (DRI); or
.
a project which generates more than seven thousand (7,000) net trips; or
.
any project of any type or size which is contractually or by condition of
approval bound to financing or constructing any portion of a major
thoroughfare which is not site related.
9
The Ordinance further states..."Using the major project maps, all traffic from the unbuilt
portion of major projects approved prior to the County Engineer's approval of the proposed
project's traffic study which will add more trips than ten percent of the Level of Service "0"
to any link within the proposed project's RDI during the buildout period of proposed project
shall be specifically accounted for in projecting traffic."
As indicated by the Traffic Performance Standard..."only the traffic generated from the
unbuilt portions of the major projects as set forth above which are projected to be built
during the buildout period of the proposed project shall be considered."
An examination of the County's list of major projects revealed two major DRl's in the area
of the Checkers' development:
· Motorola DRI - located at the southeast corner of Northwest 22nd
Avenue and Congress Avenue.
· Quantum Park DRI - also known as Boynton Beach Park of Commerce
located at the southwest corner of 1-95 and Northwest 22nd Avenue.
The Motorola DRI is approximately fifty percent built with 2,704 daily trips yet to be
generated over the remainder of its buildout. It can be concluded that traffic yet to be
generated from the unbuilt portions of the Motorola DRI will not exceed ten percent of the
Level of Service "0 "capacity on any of the Checkers' RDI study links.
The Quantum Park DRI also has unbuilt portions of the development with a somewhat
lengthy buildout. Development yet to be built at Quantum Park concurrent with the
buildout of the Checkers' development was estimated to equate to approximately 4,600
daily trips. Considering the employment nature of Quantum Park, distribution would be
weighted to and from 1-95. As such, it is not anticipated that traffic associated with the
unbuilt portions of Quantum Park would impact the Checkers' study links by more than ten
percent of their Level of Service "0" capacity.
As such, traffic from each of the unbuilt portions of the DRl's was not included in the
analysis of background traffic.
Future Capacity Analysis
Tables 3 and 4 present the results of the future capacity analysis on a daily and peak-hour
basis, respectively. The volumes shown in these tables represent the future average
annual daily and p.m. peak-hour traffic volumes anticipated by the middle of 1994. The
volumes do not include the anticipated traffic from the Checkers' development.
Those roadway segments on Tables 3 and 4 with a vlc greater than 1.00 are projected
to operate at unacceptable levels of service.

TRAFFIC GENERATION
Traffic generation is the method by which the amount of traffic or the number of trips to
and from a proposed site is estimated. Typically, two standard sources are used to
estimate traffic generation - Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation,
5th Edition and Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code. However,
databases for a Checkers-type development were not available from either of the sources.
Therefore, acceptable daily and peak-hour traffic generation rates were furnished by the
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division.
PrQject Traffic
Table 5 summarizes the trip generation activity using the generation standards provided
by Palm Beach County on a daily and peak-hour basis.
Pass-by C~ture
It is well documented that fast food outlets capture a significant portion of their patronage
from trips that are already on the roadway.
In keeping with Palm Beach County guidelines, a 40 percent pass-by capture rate was
used for the Checkers restaurant. Table 5 provides detailed calculations.

DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
I ff
H lJ I UIIIIIII
The distribution and assignment phase of the analysis involves allocating traffic generated
as a result of the Checkers' development to the roadway network.
Distribution
Traffic distribution is the pairing of trip ends from the subject site with other land uses in
the area. In this case, the predominant pairing of trips attracted to the Checkers'
development are those produced by the residential properties immediately around the site.
Traffic distribution is based on a gravity model which considers the attractiveness and
ease of travel to competing destinations. The attraction of trips to the Checkers'
development is expected to be predominantly home-based and non-horne-based work
related.
Figure 3 illustrates the percentage of traffic assigned to each of the roadways in the study
area.
Assignment
The distribution of project traffic to surrounding zones is used as a basis for assigning
traffic to specific roadway links and intersection turning movements.
Figure 4 depicts project assignments on a p.m. peak-hour basis at each of the project
access points. This assignment considers the restrictive right-turn-in-only movement
along the Boynton Beach Boulevard access. In addition, reductions for pass-by capture
have .DQt been applied to the site-related access volumes.
The impact that the resulting traffic from the Checkers' development may have on the
roadway network is analyzed in the capacity analysis section of this report.

SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT
Significance of the impact associated with the projected traffic from Checkers is measured
in terms of the amount of existing capacity absorbed by the project traffic.
Radius of Development Influence (RDI)
According to the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standard, since the Checkers'
development generates 809 external daily trips, a maximum RDI of one mile was
established.
The Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standard further requires that a development
project must examine all links within a one-half mile radius, as well as those links beyond
one-half mile on which the project traffic is equivalent to more than one percent of the
existing Level of Service "0" Service Volume.
Impact on Roadway Links
The impact of the project-related traffic from the Checkers' development is calculated in
terms of the amount of the existing daily Level of Service "0" Service Volume, which is
the criteria established by the Palm Beach County Ordinance.
Interpreting Significance
Table 6 shows all roadway links within the maximum RD!. Those roadway links which
carry project traffic in an amount greater than one percent of the Level of Service "0"
capacity or are within one-half mile of the project are shown with an asterisk (*) on Table
6. These roadway links are subject to detailed analysis according to the Traffic
Performance Standard.

CAPACITY ANALYSIS
~l
The requirements for capacity analyses begin with an examination of conditions on all
impacted roadway links as identified on Table 6.
Link Capacity Analysis
The existing and future conditions on the roadway network in the area of the Checkers'
development have been presented in an earlier section of this report. Tables 7 and 8
present total average daily and peak-hour traffic conditions at the middle of 1994,
including the background growth component.ami the traffic expected from the proposed
site.
Compliance with the Standard - Test One
The primary policy determination in the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Ordinance is that all links within the RDI must operate within the appropriate level of
service at buildout of the proposed project. As Tables 7 and 8 indicate, one link (Boynton
Beach Boulevard between 1-95 and Seacrest Boulevard) within the RDI operates at an
unacceptable level of service. Therefore, this roadway segment is not in compliance with
Test One of the Standard.
The Standard further identifies roadway segments which have a vlc ratio of greater than
1.00. The Standard allows these identified road segments to exceed capacity by up to
a total of five percent of Level of Service "0" as computed on an AADT basis. These
roadway links eligible for the excess five percent will be presumed to pass the average
peak-hour test. The excess five percent shall be allocated on a first-come-first-serve
application-filed basis; provided that no project may use more than one-fifth (1/5) of the
five percent available on any link.
Palm Beach County has identified the segment of Boynton Beach Boulevard between 1-95
and Seacrest Boulevard as over-capacity. Therefore, the use of the excess one-fifth of
five percent of capacity is applicable.
The over-capacity segment, as found on Table 7, has an existing Level of Service "0"
capacity of 30,200 trips per day. The Standard allows that one-fifth of five percent, or 302
daily trips, may be added to this link. Project traffic assigned to Boynton Beach Boulevard
between 1-95 and Seacrest Boulevard total 170 daily trips, as noted from Table 6. This
is less than the 302 daily trips allowed by the Standard.
Therefore, the Checkers development is now in compliance with Test One of the
Standard.
Compliance with the Standard - Test Two
Test Two of the Traffic Performance Standard involves an examination of the County 2010
Transportation Model. Appendix A identifies all roadway segments in Palm Beach County
projected to operate at unacceptable levels of service in year 2010.
19
The Test Two RDI is limited to the directly accessed links. Since none of the Test Two
RDI links are found on the deficient roadway segments as identified in Appendix A, the
project is then in compliance with Test Two of the Standard.

CONCLUSIONS
nI
The foregoing analysis has addressed the relative impacts associated with the
development of the Checkers' site. Specifically, the conclusions are:
