MEMORANDUM
TO: Campus Crest Development
Linda Ripley, Ripley Design
Nick Haws, Northern Engineering
Ward Stanford, Fort Collins Traffic Operations
FROM: Matt Delich
DATE: March 28, 2011
SUBJECT: Amended CSURF Centre for Advanced Technology Overall Development Plan —
Transportation Impact Study (File: 0920ME04)
This memorandum addresses the trip generation related to the "Amended CSURF Centre
for Advanced Technology Overall Development Plan" (Amended CAT ODP). The Amended CAT
ODP is provided in Appendix A. The Amended CAT ODP will be submitted on/about March 30,
2011. The "CSURF South Campus ODP Transportation Impact Study" (TIS) dated June 2002, is
the transportation impact study of record, addressing the Overall Development Plan dated June 18,
2002. The Overall Development Plan from that TIS is provided in Appendix B. The vacant parcels
in both overall development plans are identical. The primary changes in the Amended CAT ODP
are related to street alignments, primarily in Parcel C, and the definition of specific land uses in
Parcel C. The scope of this memorandum was discussed with Ward Stanford, Fort Collins Traffic
Operations Engineer.
The trip generation table from the cited TIS (6/02) is also provided in Appendix B. Based
upon conversations with CSURF staff, the land uses shown on Parcels A, B, and F are reasonable
potential land uses on these parcels. The likely land use on Parcel D is recreation. The use on this
parcel in the cited TIS (6/02) was 50,000 square feet of office park/R&D/business park. The trip
generation for this parcel is higher than that which would occur for a recreational land use.
Therefore, it was determined that the use in the cited TIS (6/02) more than covered any recreational
use that might be proposed on this parcel. Much of Parcel E is not developable. It was determined
that the land uses/trip generation in the cited TIS (6/02) adequately covered any potential land uses
that might be proposed on this parcel.
In the cited TIS (6/02), Parcel C was analyzed with 533,000 square feet of office
park/R&D/business park land uses. The calculated trip generation for Parcel C was: 5735 daily trip
ends, 784 morning peak hour trip ends, and 687 afternoon peak hour trip ends. As analyzed in
"The Grove at Fort Collins Transportation Impact Study" (May 2010), Parcel C had a student
housing residential development and office/employment land uses. The trip generation for these
land uses was: 2300 daily trip ends, 236 morning peak hour trip ends, and 288 afternoon peak hour
trip ends. The trip generation for Parcel C in the Amended CAT ODP will be lower on a daily and
peak hour basis compared to that shown in the cited TIS (6/02).
It is concluded that the trip generation shown in the cited TIS (6/02) is higher than that
expected in the Amended CAT ODP. The long range element in the "The Grove at Fort Collins
Transportation Impact Study" (May 2010) provides analyses of the key intersections at full
development of the Centre for Advanced Technology. No further transportation studies are required
related to the Amended CAT ODP.
