e_ It is not likely that the scale or use of the proposed
development will cause unacceptable levels or service on the
adjacent public streets, accesses, and intersections.
f. The proposed development is not in the vicinity of a street or
intersection with a history of safety and/or accident problems.
g. There is no proposed access to a State Highway.
2. Pedestrian Traffic
There are few pedestrian facilities in the area, however the
proposed use will not likely generate any pedestrian traffic.
Sidewalks will be built along the Blue Spruce Drive frontage.
3. Bicycle Traffic
The proposed use will not likely generate any bicycle traffic.
There are bike lanes on Blue Spruce Drive.
Based upon the above, it is concluded that a transportation impact
study is not required for the new building proposed at this Blue Spruce
site.

At Mark Langel's request, I have reviewed the site plan for a
o
new building on a lot owned by QP, LLC and conducted evaluations

regarding the need for a transportation impact study. The legal

Park, Fort Collins, Colorado. It is located north of Conifer Street
aand
west of Blue Spruce Drive. It is currently vacant. The proposed
_
building will be in the center of the lot. It will be 14,000 square

tenants. The current zoning is light industrial. The units will not
Nbe
used for retail or public sales of merchandise. There would be a
N
single driveway access to Blue Spruce Drive. Blue Spruce Drive is
N
classified as a collector street on the Fort Collins Master Street
Plan.
I have reviewed the "Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards," October 1, 2002, Chapter 4, Transportation Impact Study,
Section 4.2.3 Levels of Analyses. Guidelines are presented regarding
the level of TIS analysis. Subsection D describes the requirements
when a TIS may be waived. It is my opinion that the TIS for the
proposed building can be waived. Below are listed the reasons for
the waiver of the TIS.
