City of <br /> <br /> 0 <br /> I <br /> <br /> March 21, 1989 <br /> Public Works Department <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Review of "Standard Requirements" for a Traffic <br /> Study of North Pleasanton <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMRNDATION: <br /> <br /> It is the staff recommendation that the trip <br /> generation rates to be used in the North Pleasanton <br /> area be those recommended by the Environmental <br /> Monitoring Committee and the Planning Commission <br /> and are summarized as follows: <br /> <br /> a) 1.51 trips per 1,000 sq. ft. - A.M. peak, <br /> b) 1.33 trips per 1,000 sq. ft. - P.M. peak, <br /> c) building occupancy be adjusted to 95%, <br /> d) 0.47 trips per employee - A.M. peak, <br /> e) 0.42 trips per employee - P.M. peak, <br /> <br /> and that this data be reviewed and updated <br /> annually. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council: <br /> <br />Backqround <br /> <br />The City has continued to refine the "Standard Assumptions" which <br />were initially adopted in 1984. Each year "Existing Traffic" is <br />counted for peak hour conditions. To this volume of "Existing <br />Traffic," "Generated Traffic" is added and the total volumes are <br />compared against "Available Capacity" in reviewing new project <br />proposals. (See Figure 1.) <br /> <br />Estimates of "Generated Traffic" have been made by projecting how <br />many "Trips" will be made per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area <br />or, in unique circumstances where high numbers of employees are <br />expected, by "Peak Hour Trips per Employee." <br /> <br />SR 89:133 <br /> <br /> <br />
