The Downtown Transit Center is located in the northeast quadrant of the Laporte/Mason intersection, which is within 1320 feet of the site. This area is served (within 1320 feet) by transit routes 1, 5, 8, 9, 14, and 15. The 215 N. College Avenue Development is located in an area defined as "mixed -use centers and commercial corridors." In the future, transit service will be improved as depicted on the Fort C011inS TrdP.Sit System �ldn. Appendl.x B contains a future transit level of service worksheet. As indicated, the future level of service will be in the B category. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or desire additional information. a Pedestrian Level of Service Sidewalks exist adjacent to existing developments on all area streets. There are pedestrian crosswalks and ramps at all key intersections. Appendix B shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the 215 N. College Avenue Development. To the north, south, east, and west of the site is the Fort Collins CBD which contains commercial, office, and residential land uses. Pedestrian circulation within the study area is good and the City of Fort Collins has long range plans for improvements on College Avenue and Mason Street. The 215 N. College Avenue Development is located within an area termed as a pedestrian district, which sets the level of service threshold at LOS A (with the exception of street crossings which has a threshold of LOS B) for all measured categories. In lieu of a Pedestrian LOS Worksheet, each pedestrian LOS category is discussed below: Directness- Due to the location of the 215 N. College Avenue Development within the Fort Collins CBD, the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Continuity- There are no gaps in the sidewalk system within the study area; therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Street All intersections have marked pedestrian crossings, Crossings- therefore the goal of LOS B is satisfied. Visual Interest All land within the study area is developed. The Amenity- sidewalk system in much of this area was built with landscaping and sidewalk furniture, therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Security- Most of the study area has good lighting levels and pedestrians are clearly visible to motorists. Since the 215 N. College Avenue Development is located within the Fort Collins CBD, there is a driver expectation of the presence of pedestrians; therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Bicycle Level of Service Appendix B shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of 215 N. College Avenue Development. This area, the Fort Collins CBD, is considered to be a community/neighborhood commercial center. Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, the level of service threshold for bicycles is LOS B. There are bicycle facilities along Mason Street and Laporte Avenue. College Avenue does not permit bicycles due to on -street parking and the volume of motor vehicle traffic. Bicyclists are encouraged to use Mason Street. The 215 N. College Avenue Development is connected to the bike lanes on Laporte Avenue and Mason Street, which satisfies the LOS B criteria. DELICH ASSOCIATES Traffic & Transportation Engineering 2272 Glen Haven Drive Loveland, Colorado 80538 Phone: (970) 669-2061 Fax: (970) 669-5034 "7'1 r TO: Dan Bernth, Doberstein/Lemburg Commercial Carr Bieker, The Architects Studio Eric Bracke, Fort Collins Traffic Engineer Fort Collins Transportation Planning FROM: Joe Delich DATE: November 9, 2006 SUBJECT: 215 N. College Avenue Transportation Impact Study (File: 06105ME01) The 215 N. College Avenue Development is a proposed mixed -use development, located on the west side of College Avenue north of Laporte Avenue in Fort Collins. Currently, there is an automobile service center at this location. Figure 1 shows the site location. The scope of this transportation impact study (TIS) was discussed with Eric Bracke, Fort Collins Traffic Engineer. A trip generation memorandum and a parking needs estimate was requested. The Transportation Impact Study Base Assumptions form is provided in Appendix A. Land uses in the area are primarily commercial, office, and residential. Since this site is within the Fort Collins Central Business District (CBD), commercial uses generally surround the site. The center of Fort Collins lies to the south of the 215 N. College Avenue Development. This building will have a restaurant and parking garage on the first floor. The second floor will contain office uses and the third floor will have residential apartments. Appendix A contains a schematic of the floor plans for this building. Sit-down Restaurant (Code 932), General Office (Code 710), and Apartments (Code 220) from Trip Generation, 7`h Edition, ITE were selected to estimate the daily and peak hour trip generation. Table 1 shows the calculated trip generation for the proposed 215 N. College Avenue Development. There will be eight on -site parking spaces for the residential portion of 215 N. College Avenue Development. All other parking will be on -street or in the public parking garage. The parking needs estimate was performed using Parking Generation, 3rd Edition, ITE. Table 2 shows the calculated parking needs for the proposed building minus the residential. It was determined that 55 parking spaces would be needed during peak demand. The residential parking will be accommodated within the building.
