7 INTRODUCTION Kimley-Horn has prepared a future land use plan amendment traffic analysis for the Deliceto, LLC site located on the north side of Ohio Street east of Congress Avenue in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the project site. The amendment site is in unincorporated Palm Beach County and currently had a Future Land Use designation of Industrial (IND). This application is being filed to amend the future land use plan to adopt a designation of Urban Infill (UI) for the entire site. The Parcel Control Numbers (PCN) for the amendment site is as follows: Table 1 summarizes the maximum development intensities assumed for the existing and proposed future land use designations on the parcel based upon the current IND designation and the proposed designation of UI for this parcel. Table 1: Maximum Development Intensities Scenario Maximum Intensity Acreage Maximum Development Existing Future Land Use IND 0.45 FAR Industrial ,329 s.f. Proposed Future Land Use 0.68 UI 0.4 FAR retail 11,848 s.f. This analysis was conducted following short term and long term analysis procedures typically used to evaluate comprehensive plan amendments in Palm Beach County. This report summarizes the findings of the comprehensive plan land use amendment traffic analysis. For the purposes of a methodology to conduct this study, the guidelines published in Section 3.5d of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan were utilized. k:\wpb_tpto\0427\ ohio street self storage\flu pa\ ohio street self storage cpa.docx Page 1

9 TRAFFIC GENERATION Project traffic used in this analysis is defined as the vehicle trips expected to be generated by the project, and the distribution and assignment of that traffic over the study roadway network. Trip Generation The trip generation calculations are based on the trip generation rates published by Palm Beach County. Table 2 compares the trip generation potential of the maximum development intensity allowed under the current FLU designation with the trip generation potential of the proposed FLU designation with the proposed voluntary restriction. For the existing IND designation, a maximum FAR of 0.45 of Light Industrial use (ITE land use 110) was utilized. For the proposed UI designation, there is no maximum FAR defined for this use. For the purposes of analysis, a maximum FAR of 0.40 for General Commercial use was utilized. Because the site is currently vacant, the Net New External Trips Under Proposed FLU was utilized for the short-range (year 2023) analysis. The Trip Differential was utilized for the longer-range (year 2040) analysis. As indicated in Table 2, the trip generation potential of the existing FLU would allow the site to generate a maximum of 84 net new external daily trips, 11 net new external AM peak-hour trips and 12 net new external PM peak-hour trips. The net change in the maximum trip generation potential when comparing the existing FLU with the proposed FLU results in 595 net new external daily trips, -7 net new external AM peak hour trips, and 49 net new external PM peak hour trips. k:\wpb_tpto\0427\ ohio street self storage\flu pa\ ohio street self storage cpa.docx Page 3

11 Traffic Distribution Traffic distribution is the pairing of trip ends from the subject site with other land uses in the area. These trips were assigned to the surrounding roadways based upon a review of the roadway network proposed to be in place at the time of buildout and its travel time characteristics. The distribution according to cardinal directions is: NORTH - 25 percent SOUTH - 30 percent EAST - 20 percent WEST - 25 percent Traffic Assignment The daily and peak-hour trips for the project were assigned to the surrounding roadway network proposed to be in place for analysis years 2023 and Figure 2 illustrates the project traffic assignment to the surrounding roadway network. k:\wpb_tpto\0427\ ohio street self storage\flu pa\ ohio street self storage cpa.docx Page 5

13 LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS Consistent with comprehensive plan amendment evaluation requirements, roadway segment analyses were conducted to address the traffic conditions for the short-term planning horizon. Short-term (Year 2023) Horizon This analysis is based on the Test 2 standards of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance (TPSO) and was conducted using the directional peak-season peak-hour traffic volumes published by Palm Beach County. Consistent with Palm Beach County standards, this analysis compares the trip generation potential of the existing site development with the maximum development potential of the proposed FLU designation. Long-term (Year 2040) Horizon This analysis was conducted using the 2040 model volumes and the net increase in the daily trip generation potential between the existing and proposed FLU designations. k:\wpb_tpto\0427\ ohio street self storage\flu pa\ ohio street self storage cpa.docx Page 7

14 SHORT-TERM (YEAR 2023) HORIZON The proposed future land use is projected to generate 4 net new external trips in the AM peak hour (3 in / 1 out) and 61 net new external trips in the PM peak hour (29 in / 32 out). The radius of development influence and the significantly impacted roadway links were determined based on Policy 3.5-d of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. For this analysis scenario, the radius of development influence for the analysis is one mile. Significance was determined in accordance with the Test 2 (5-Year Analysis) LOS E peak-hour peak-directional service volumes indicated in the Palm Beach County TPSO. As indicated in Table 3, none of the roadway links are significantly impacted by Test 2 standards. Therefore, no further analysis is required.

15 LONG-TERM (YEAR 2040) HORIZON The net increase in daily trip generation potential between the existing FLU designation and the proposed FLU designation is 596 net new external daily trips. The radius of development influence and the significantly impacted roadway links were determined based on Policy 3.5d of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. For this analysis scenario, the radius of development influence for the analysis is 0.5 miles. Year 2040 model volumes (see Appendix B) were obtained from the 2040 Palm Beach MPO Model and then reviewed for each of the study roadways within the radius of influence. The daily project trips were then assigned to the surrounding roadway network within the study radius. As indicated in Table 4, none of the roadway links are significantly impacted. Therefore, no further analysis is required. Table 4: Long-Term (Year 2040) Significance Analysis COMMITED LOS D PROJECT TRIPS PROJECT IMPACT MEETS NUMBER FACILITY GEN.

16 CONCLUSION The foregoing comprehensive plan traffic analysis has been conducted to evaluate the proposed future land use change from the existing IND designation to the proposed UI designation for the amendment site located on the north side of Ohio Street east of Congress Avenue in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Based on the analyses conducted for the short-term and long-term planning horizons, no roadway links are expected to be significantly impacted by the project traffic during the short-term (Test 2-Five Year Analysis, Year 2023) and long-term (2040) planning horizons. Therefore, the change in future land use for the subject parcel meets applicable criteria for an amendment to Palm Beach County s comprehensive plan. k:\wpb_tpto\0427\ ohio street self storage\flu pa\ ohio street self storage cpa.docx Page 10
