A 25% <br />reduction was taken to account for passby trips from the existing traffic stroam along with a 10% <br />reduction to account for expected cross -over trips between the specialty retail and Circuit City <br />stores. <br />Peak hour level of service (LOS) analysis calculations follow the methodology outlined in the <br />1985 Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board and <br />highway capacity support software developed by McTrans, University of Florida, Transportation <br />Research Center, and the Federal Highway Administration, Terry Gibson, responsible for the <br />traffic analysis is a licensed civil engineer in the State of Washington and past -President of the <br />Washington State Section of ITE, <br />3)dR GtnKoonn Vff i natea_ Trip generation estimates for the proposed specialty retail shops <br />were based on trip generation data published in the ITE DIP Generation manual, and the <br />generation rates for the Circuit City store were obtained from field surveys at existing California, <br />stores. The daily trip rate for specialty retail space per 1000 SF (ITE land use code 814) is 40.67, <br />and 34.93 per 1000 SF for Circuit City, The PM peak trip rates are 4.93 and 3.72 for specialty <br />retail and Circuit City uses, respectively. The proposed commercial development, when fully <br />occupied, would generate approximately 1,570 daily trips on an average weekday (AWDT). <br />During the critical weekday PM peak hour, 178 trips would be generated. After passby and <br />crossover reductions are applied, there would be 1,065 daily and 120 (64 inbound/56 <br />outbound) peak "new" trips added to the local street system.
