The proposed warehouse and food stalls are anticipated to generate approximately 32 trips entering and 15 trips exiting in the AM peak hour and 21 trips entering and 29 trips exiting in the PM peak hour. The applicant conducted a Traffic Assessment Report (TAR) dated October 10, 2019, prepared by SSFM International. The TAR concluded that traffic from the proposed warehouse/restaurant space is not expected to be significant. The total peak hour trips are expected to be at or below 50 trips (in and out) during the highest peak hour. Additionally, the proposed driveway should be designed with appropriate horizontal and vertical alignments, and adequate drainage. Finally, the TAR recommended a minimum five (5)-foot wide sidewalk should be included along the front of the property to encourage walking trips instead of vehicle trips. Conditions of approval will require the development of the driveway and sidewalks to meet DPW standards. Finally, as the proposed change of zone does not require the applicant to develop the currently proposed commercial development, a condition of approval will require a Traffic Impact Analysis Report(TIAR) should the applicant develop a use that generates over 50 peak hour trips.
