LL SUBJECT: Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion Transportation Impact Study
Addendum (File: 9732ME02)
Pedersen Auto Plaza is proposing an expansion to their current
CN facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. As shown in Figure 1, the site
) is located west of S. Mason Street, between Harmony Road and Troutman
Parkway. The site plan for the Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion is
CDshown in Figure 2. Since a comprehensive traffic study was already
rn performed ("Pedersen Auto Plaza Transportation Impact Study," October
1997), the scope of this exercise provides an analysis of the trip
W generation of the proposed expansion and analyses of the key
0 intersections in the short range and long range futures with the
o_ additional vehicle trips. An alternative modes analysis was included
in the original transportation impact study, therefore, a detailed
alternative modes analysis was not performed.
The Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion is proposed to be a 9,600
square foot addition to the existing building and a 5,000 square feet
detached new building. The addition to the existing building is
intended to be a body shop, which merely provides more space to
service the vehicles that are brought to the original facility. The
use in the detached building is not specific, but may be used as an
expanded showroom area. An additional site access to S. Mason Street
will be built north of the existing access. Table 1 shows the
expected daily and peak hour trip generation from the Pedersen Auto
Plaza Expansion using Trip Generation, 6`h Edition, ITE as the
reference document. Land use code 841 (New Car Sales) was used as
the land use. It is expected that the Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion
z would generate: 563 average daily trip ends, 33 morning peak hour
w trip ends, and 42 afternoon peak hour trip ends.

5 Figure 3 shows the assignment of the site generate peak hour
Z traffic of the Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion. Due to construction
w
Z on S. Mason Street, new peak hour traffic counts at the key
0 intersections in the area could not be performed. Therefore, the
site generated traffic of the Pedersen Auto Plaza Expansion was added
¢ to the short range (2002) and long range (2015) traffic forecasts
a from the cited TIS. Figures 4 and 5 respectively show the short
Z range (2002) and long range (2015) total peak hour traffic at the key
I -- intersections.
Ca Table 2 shows the short range (2002) total peak hour operation
U at the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix
U.
U. A. All of the key intersections will operate acceptably, using the
4
¢ recommended intersection geometry from the cited study.
