Square requirss a peak aemand total of 120 spar.ee: according to the <br />ITE mar.ual. Thus, a total of 414 spaces would be required for the <br />proposal (includi:g Village Square) on a holiday weekend, assuming <br />that there would be n� �tfice space parking demand on the same <br />weekor3; If 758 of the space in Village Square were devoted to <br />office space only (as has been suggested), then the peak total <br />spaces required would �e 342 (see Table 2). The applicant has <br />proposed a total of 410 spaces, including the existing 60 spaces in <br />Village Square. It therefore appears that the parking to be <br />provided in combination with that existing should be adequate for <br />the needs of the development. <br />RP.INIER AVENUE IMPACTS <br />Rainier Drive is most likely to be impacted by users of the east <br />parking lot. Because of th�s, we recommend that all office <br />personnel be required to park on the east parcel parking J.ot. Thus, <br />the greatest impact on Rainier Drive will come during mo=ning and <br />afternoon peak hour traffic flows coinciding with the opening and <br />closing times of the offices. On a worst-case basis with all office <br />personnel using Rainier Drive, the morning peak hour would see 90 <br />trips (in and out), the evening peak hour 102 trips, with a total <br />average �veekday traffic of 637 trips.Z <br />However, Rai ier Drive should be affected only by northbound and <br />eastbound traffic from the project. Southbound traffic from the <br />east parking lot will follow the minimum travel time path to <br />Evergreen Way which is through the main parking lot. This alternate <br />route to and from the souch should reduce the worst case traffic <br />:impact to Rainzer Drive by at least 30 percent. <br />2"Institute of Transportation Engineers", Trip Generation <br />Report, July 1984, Sections 7Q0-Office and 800-Retail. <br />- 2 - <br />
