As Ihis proposed project serves a very dislincl Uaining/educational markel, <br />typical trip generation rates are nol applicable. In addilion, as the proposed expansion would not result in <br />any increases in sludent levels or s1aK/faculty positions, bul only provide (or separation of on�site aclivities <br />relaled lo typical classroom or "group" educalional sellings from the existing "public" hands�on iraining <br />areas to enclosed Uaining areas, no increase in vehicle trip generation during typical peak commute <br />periods or on a dai!y basis are expected. In fac1, this exisling floor area has hislorical been utilized by <br />olher existing businesses wilhin lhis commercial building, which, depending on Iheir use, could range in <br />vehicle Uip generation from approximat�ly 0.45 trips/7,000 square-feet in Aoor area (ITE Land Use Code <br />890 • Fumilure Slore) Io 2.71 Irips/1,000 squaredeei in tloor area pTE Land Use Code 826 - Specialry <br />Retail); previously generating between approximalely 2 and 11 p.m. peak hour vehicle irips. <br />Conclusion <br />A review ol polential increased vaftic demands caused by Ihe proposed Evergreen Beauly Couege <br />Expansion project located in Everett, WA, was conducted by TENW. Gi�1en lhal no increase in sludent <br />capacity or changes in statt/faculiy posilions would occur as a resull of Ihe proposed project, no increase <br />in vehicie trip generation during lypical peak comm�ne periods or on a daily basis are expected to be <br />generated. In fact, a net decrease is likely a tolal site vehicle trip generation of belween roughly 2 and 11 <br />p.m. peak hour vehicle Uips could occur based on other allowable uses within Ihis existing comrnercial <br />building. As such, no vaffic miligalion measures are needed Io address the proposed expansion. <br />If you have any queslions regarding Ihe information presenled in Ihis memo, please call me at (206) 361• <br />7333 x 101 or mikereadc�ienw.com. <br />� TEN W Decembei 31. 2013 <br />Page 3 <br />
