EVALUATION FOR <br />AGENCY USE ONLY <br />e. Will the project or proposal use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, <br />or air transportation? If so, generally describe. <br />This site is not in the immediate vicinity of water, rail, or air transportation facilities. <br />The Docket Application request has no anticipated impact to this environmental <br />element. This proposal is limited to an evaluation of impacts related to a <br />comprehensive plan amendment request and concurrent rezone Impacts on <br />Transportation (including use/types) would be reviewed in conjunction with a future <br />land -use proposal in accordance with City development regulations <br />f. How many vehicular trips per clay would be generated by the completed project <br />or proposal? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur and what <br />percentage of the volume would be trucks (such as commercial and nonpassenger <br />vehicles) What data or transportation modes were used to make these estimates? <br />The Docket Application request has no anticipated impact to this environmental <br />element. This proposal is limited to an evaluation of impacts related to a <br />comprehensive plan amendment request and concurrent rezone (with removal of the <br />HO); however, the change in zoning would allow additional units to be built on the <br />site. Impacts on Transportation (including vehicle trip generation) would be reviewed <br />in conjunction with a future land -use proposal in accordance with City development <br />regulations <br />Housing Hope retained Gibson Traffic Consultants (GTC) to provide a comparison of <br />the existing trip generation ender current zoning R-1 and the potential trip generation <br />if the site was rezoned R-2 or R-3. [See submitted Sequoia Field Zoning Trip <br />Generation (June 2019) for additional details.] <br />Housing Hope anticipates a future proposal for a multi -family development, consistent <br />with their lease. For comparison purposes trip generation calculations for a future <br />proposal (Sequoia Field) were provided based on data in the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineer (ITE) Trip Generation and observational data collected by GTC staff at <br />Oakes Commons, located at 3125 Oakes Avenue in Everett The Oakes Commons <br />was counted from 4-6 PM on Tuesday June 25, 2019 to determine if the low-income <br />Units generated significantly fewer trips than typical multi -family low-rise units. <br />Trip generation calculations for the comparison of zoning for the Sequoia Field site <br />are based on national statistics contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' <br />(ITE) Trip Generation, 10th Edition (2017). Although there is the potential for greater <br />number of SFD emits, GTC has utilized the lowest density likely (17 detached houses) <br />foi the existing zoning potential. The average trip generation rates foi the following <br />ITE Land Uses were utilized: <br />• Land Use Code 210, Single-family Detached —17 units <br />• Land Use Code 220, Multifamily Low -Rise — 45 units (R-2) & 80 units (R-3) (for <br />this comparison 80 units were used; however, based on comments from the City, up <br />to 87 units could be placed on the site ) <br />Environmental Checklist — Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Concurrent Rezone 53 <br />BRENT PLANNING SOLUTIONS, LLC FOR HOUSING HOPE AUGUST 2020 REV'D <br />
