Division 3.5, Building Standards 1. Section 3.5.3, Mixed -Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings The proposal for Retail C, the Bank, and Future Pads A - D (not being part of the Large Retail Establishment portion of this development) satisfies the Relationship of Buildings to Streets, Walkways and Parking standards, more specifically: a. The proposal complies with Section 3.5.3(B)(1) Orientation to a Connecting Walkway in that the primary entrances to Retail C and the Bank open directly onto a walkway with pedestrian frontage that connects to the public sidewalks along Illinois Drive and South Timberline Road without having to cross a driveway or the parking lot. The building envelopes for Future Pads A - D are positioned such as to allow for the buildings to satisfy this requirement. b. Orientation to Build -to Lines for Streetfront Buildings. Section 3.5.3(B)(2) states that: Build -to lines based on a consistent relationship of buildings to the street sidewalk shall be established by development projects, in order to form visually continuous, pedestrian -oriented streetfronts with no vehicle use area between building faces and the street. Front building facades (with multiple entries) in this neighborhood service (shopping) center have direct pedestrian connections to the existing and proposed public sidewalks along South Timberline Road, Custer Drive, and Illinois Drive without any vehicular use between the building face and the street. c. Build -to Line. Section 3.5.3(13)(2)(b) states that: Buildings shall be located no more than 15' from the right-of-way of an adjoining street if the street is smaller than a full arterial or has on -street parking. The proposed buildings for Retail C, the Bank, and Future Pads A - D directly adjacent and oriented to South Timberline Road, Custer Drive, and Illinois Drive are set back 0 to 15' from the rights -of -way line of the streets, which complies with the requirement of the LUC. The one provided at the, front entrance to the grocery store to not only `'calm'. traffic as it moves along this front driveway, but also provides for a "pedestrian landing" -area. as the'shopper moves'from the storeto the.parkinglot with shopping carts. A public "gathering space" has been provided, adjacent a Phase 1 retail.building and provisions for additional.plaza areas can be.piovided between future building ; to be developed, on -the. property, 4. Architectural & Street Character. Throughout the -preliminary development of - the plan for this project, city'staff encouraged the developer to create an image. for the project that is urban incharacter and replicates the kind of street character that: is evident on Walnut Street in Fort Collins.: To accomplish this end the cross sections for, Illinois Street were studied and it was.determined that diagonal parking with _adjacent sidewalks could be provided on both sides of;the streets and buildings may be'pulled up to the property line to create an "downtown" appearance once both sides of the street are fully developed. , To further enhance this image, the retail buildings are' designed to have double entrances, one from Illinois Street and another from the maimparking lot. The architectural elevations for the retail buildings -have been broken up. to appear as, a group of smaller:, individual buildings with a variety" of design elements at each storefront and extended roof and parapet elements that give the appearance of two-story buildings., In this manner when both sides of Illinois Street are ultimately developed a "downtown -like" pattern, will resulf thus achieving the, goals of the ; N-C Commercial District... This -character and; similar design elements will be required to be implemented on the remaining future building envelopes along Illinois Street., 5. Landscaping. The detailed landscaping plan submitted complies with the requirements. of the City Land Use Code and features a,perimeter design including - ' street trees, shrub plantings and sod "Special consideration is given to the urban sidewalk treatment along`Illinois Street that includes, located in tree wells along the street. Significant landscaping has been provided on the•internal portion of the shopping center with an emphasis on tree plantings in parking lot island areas to provide shade and to breakup the visual- impact of the parking lot: The Rigden Farm "entry sculpture feature" will be retained at the intersection'of Timberline Road and Custer. Drive and the rear portion of this feature will be additionally landscaped as'it providesa,,-t'ransition to adjacent buildings to the north and'east.of the sculpture. In addition the plan features additional, landscape:. embellishments at the entrance.areas into the site. Future plaza and; pedestrian enhanced areas can also be planned between the:future .buildings along Illinois Street to provide street "friendly" entrances into the center. • A large landscape feature aiea has. also been provided at the intersection of - Timberline Road and Drake Road in order to provide a foreground to the rear portion of the: grocery,building. ,The,existing mature cottonwood trees along I 11 F 11 i�{ _t 1 Existing Traffic Recent peak hour traffic counts at the key existing intersections are shown in Figure 2. The traffic data for the Timberline/Drake and Timberline/Custer intersections was collected in December 2001. Raw traffic counts are provided in Appendix A. since traffic counts were obtained on different days, they were averaged between intersections. The averaged recent peak hour counts are shown in Figure 3. Existing Operation The counted intersections were evaluated using techniques provided in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual. Using the peak hour traffic shown in Figure 3, the peak hour operation is shown in Table 1. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix B. A description of level of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a table showing the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix B. The key intersections operate acceptably overall during both the morning and afternoon peak hours. Acceptable operation at signalized intersections during the peak hours is defined as level of service E or better in a mixed use district. At unsignalized intersections, acceptable operation is considered to be at level of service F for any approach leg for an arterial/local intersection. Pedestrian Facilities There are pedestrian facilities along the west side of Timberline Road, south of Drake Road. There are no sidewalks on the east side of Timberline Road. However, these sidewalks will be constructed with the development of the First Assembly of God Church and Rigden Farm. There are currently no sidewalks along Drake Road. However, when these roads are built to arterial standards, sidewalks will be included in the respective cross sections. Sidewalks are/will be incorporated within this development. Bicycle Facilities Bicycle Lanes exist or Timberline Road, Drake Road, standards. Other streets that from the Rigden Farm Commercial Transit Facilities :an exist within the cross section of and Custer Drive per Fort Collins require bike lanes are beyond 1320 feet site. Transfort currently serves this area of Fort Collins with Route 10. Route 10 provides 60 minute service with a stop near the Timberline/Drake intersection. 11 4 1 c Q m Quo o M CD190/145 `-4 CO f— 290275 110RO 420/325 1 t l 195245 —+• 410/370 —y Q Q ul� rz , , o � 1 IT tr.

CONCLUSIONS This study assessed the impacts of the Rigden Farm Commercial development on the short range and long range street system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: - The development of the Rigden Farm Commercial is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development, the Rigden Farm Commercial will generate approximately 10,078 daily trip ends, 289 morning peak hour trip ends, and 963 afternoon peak hour trip ends. However, the number of new trips that the Rigden Farm Commercial would generate would be 7500-7600 trip ends per weekday. Current operation at the key intersections is acceptable with existing controls and geometry. Using the short range background traffic forecasts, peak hour signal warrants will be met at the Timberline/Custer intersection. In the short range future, given development of the Rigden Farm r Commercial and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections will operate acceptably, with the recommended geometry shown in Figure 12. =r .; - In the long range future, given development of the Rigden Farm Commercial, the key intersections will operate acceptably during the peak hours. The long range geometry is shown in Figure 13. - At the Drake/Illinois intersection, the westbound left -in movement, and at the Drake/Iowa intersection, the eastbound left - in movement can be accommodated from a vehicle storage perspective. However, in order to allow both of these movements fI' the deceleration requirement will need to be waived. - Acceptable level of service is achieved for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes based upon the measures in the multi -modal transportation guidelines. 1 30 J� reasonable person would not attempt to make a northbound left -turn from J Illinois Drive. The painted median/striping to the east of the end of the raised median should be at least 16 feet wide. This is somewhat wider than the center lane shown on the two lane arterial street cross section in the Fort Collins Street Standards. As the Rigden Farm Commercial goes through the development review process, this design should be refined. Pedestrian Level of Service Appendix I shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Rigden Farm Commercial. There will be five pedestrian destinations within 1320 feet of the Rigden Farm Commercial. These are: 1) Fort Collins High School (1 mile for schools), 2) the residential area west of the site, 3) the future residential/ commercial area northwest of the site (Spring Creek Farm), 4) the residential/commercial area north of the site (The Johnson Farm Property), and 5) the residential area east of the site (Rigden Farm). This site is in an area type termed "school walking area" and "activity center." The level of service determination assumes that future residential developments (namely, Spring Creek Farm, Rigden Farm, and The Johnson Farm Property) will build their streets and adjacent streets in accordance with Fort Collins Standards. This being the case, pedestrian facilities will exist where they currently do not. This is a reasonable assumption. If this does not occur or is not accepted by the City, then acceptable pedestrian level of service cannot be achieved. The Pedestrian LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix I. The minimum level of service for "activity center" is B "for all categories. With the assumed future pedestrian facilities along future streets, the pedestrian level of service will be acceptable. Bicycle Level of Service Appendix I shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Rigden Farm Commercial. Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, there is one destination area within 1320 feet of the Rigden Farm Commercial. This is the "activity center" indicated on the Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan, located in the area of the Timberline/Drake intersection. This "activity center" will likely be the Rigden Farm Commercial development. A bicycle LOS worksheet is provided in Appendix I. Transit Level of Service Currently, this area is served by Route 10. The Fort Collins 2015 Transit System Map shows that Timberline Road will be a high frequency transit corridor with 20 minute service. Drake Road will be served by feeder route service at 30 minute headways. Transit level of service will be at B. The Rigden Farm Commercial will be within i 1320 feet of a high frequency or feeder transit route in the future. A future transit level of service worksheet is provided in Appendix I. 29 i ------Drake Raised Median 0, Johnson Farm Property SPRING CREEK FARMS LLC Paint POTENTIAL DRAKE ROAD DESIGN 1 26 I& N SCALE: 1"=6U Figure 15 TABLE 7 Long Range (2020) Peak Hour Operation of Drake Road Intersections 27 27 p f a- .O C " 515 o `O f 700/610 20/35 440/635 —•� j 100/225 LO LO t� N .a b� i .,l 3 t LONG RANGE (2020) PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC ---- AM/PM Rounded to Nearest 5 Vehicles 10/40 —� 440/615 —► 10/35 CO 0 5/5 �-- 610/585 10/25 Drake Figure 14 M11 I I I 1 7� Two full -movement intersections are proposed to Illinois Drive, between Drake Road and Custer Drive. The accesses to the Rigden Farm Commercial will line-up with Johnson Way and Waukee Drive. The owners of Rigden Farms have agreed to realign Waukee Drive (east leg) to the north to line-up with the proposed access to the Rigden Farm Commercial. This will not present any operational problems. In fact, the separation between Custer Drive and Waukee Drive will increase, creating additional room for southbound left turns at Custer Drive and northbound left turns at Waukee Drive (site access). On -street diagonal parking is proposed on Illinois Drive. With diagonal parking on Illinois Drive, the travel way will be oversized. This will enable a delivery vehicle to temporarily stand in the middle of Illinois Drive while still allowing traffic to get around them on both sides. The cross section of Illinois Drive would be similar to that of Walnut Street in Old Town Fort Collins. As mentioned earlier, the Drake/Illinois intersection is proposed to be right-in/right-out on the north side of Drake Road and right- in/right-out/left-in on the south side of Drake Road. The Drake/Iowa intersection is located 395 feet east of Illinois Drive (on -centers). The north leg of Iowa Drive goes into the Johnson Farm Property. In order to conduct a justification analysis, the long range traffic forecasts should be used. Figure 14 shows the long range peak hour traffic on Drake Road between Illinois Drive and Iowa Drive. These two intersections operate as indicated in Table 7. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix H. The operation of the westbound left turn approaching Illinois Drive and of the eastbound left turn approaching Iowa Drive are at level.. of service A/B. The calculated 95% left -turn queue lengths are less than one vehicle in the peak hours. Therefore, the maximum storage that is required is one vehicle length (nominally 25 feet). The functional, available area on Drake Road between Illinois Drive and Iowa Drive is approximately 360 feet. Therefore, it is concluded that there is sufficient distance between these two streets to provide storage for the left turns. As a two lane arterial street, this segment of Drake Road will have a posted speed of between 30-45 mph. According to the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards," left -turn lanes should also provide for deceleration, as well as, vehicle storage. The desirable deceleration length at the potential posted speeds are: at 30 mph - 235 feet, at 35 mph - 275 feet, at 40 mph - 315 feet, and at 45 mph - 375 feet. The minimum deceleration lengths at the potential posted speeds are: at 30 mph - 230 feet, at 35 mph - 250 feet, at 40 mph - 260 feet, and at 45 mph - 320 feet. The deceleration length would need to be provided in both directions. There is enough separation between these two streets to provide for the necessary storage and the ability for vehicles to enter the respective left -turn lanes. However, there is not sufficient separation to provide for full deceleration. In order to have a westbound left -turn lane on Drake Road approaching Illinois Drive, a waiver with regard to the deceleration length will be necessary. Figure 15 shows a r The raised median to th e 25 i�.l C m� �1 �1 I' I� iIi J 1 1� SHORT RANGE (2007) GEOMETRY ' 23 -w — -Denotes Lane N .n ke ter Figure 12 Geometry As described earlier and shown on the site plan (Figure 4), the following general public site accesses are proposed: right-in/right- out to Timberline Road, right-in/right-out to Custer Drive, and two full -movement intersection to Illinois Drive. The two right-in/right- out accesses will be enforced by center medians in Timberline Road and Custer Drive. The full -movement intersections on Illinois Drive will have stop sign control on the east/west streets/driveways. Truck (service) access is proposed to Drake Road. This truck access will consist of two one-way driveways, the right -in only located approximately 200 feet east of Timberline Road and the right -out only located approximately 150 feet west of Illinois Drive. There will be a center median in Drake Road that will assure only right -turn movements. The Custer/Illinois intersection will be a full -movement intersection with stop sign control on Illinois Drive. The current Drake/Illinois intersection provides for right-in/right-out movements both north (Johnson Farm Property) and south (Rigden Farm) of Drake Road. Future retail businesses, King Soopers in particular, desire to have westbound left -in also at the Drake/Illinois intersection. This was discussed with City staff in preliminary meetings. City staff indicated that the left -in movement would need to be justified. The two existing public street intersections (Timberline/Drake and Timberline/ Custer) were analyzed with signal control. As discussed earlier, it is expected that a signal will be warranted at the Timberline/Custer intersection. The recommended short range geometry and long range geometry are shown schematically in Figures 12 and 13, respectively. Discussion of the details of the various accesses is presented below. Access locations were taken from the latest available site plan as provided by Wyatt & Associates -Architects. The Timberline Road right-in/right-out access is located approximately 380 feet north of Custer Drive (on -centers). Since Timberline Road is a major arterial street, it is recommended that there be a right -turn auxiliary lane on Timberline Road to the south of this access. At the posted speed of 40 mph on Timberline Road, the desirable length of a right -turn lane is 315 feet for a stop condition. This length includes taper (@ 160 feet) and is measured from the beginning of the curb return on Timberline Road. However, a 40 foot radius is shown on the site plan. Therefore, the turning speed of an entering vehicle would be at least 15 mph, which would reduce the desirable deceleration lane length to 295 feet. Due to the location of Custer Drive, this length of auxiliary right -turn lane cannot be achieved. However, a minimum design, where braking begins at 2/3 full lane width, results in a right -turn lane length of 165 feet. This can be achieved in the area between the proposed access and Custer Drive. The Custer Drive right-in/right-out access is located approximately 220 feet west of Illinois Drive (on -centers). A deceleration lane is not required on Custer Drive approaching this access. The location will allow an exiting vehicle to enter the left - turn lane or the through/right-turn lane approaching the Timberline/Custer intersection. 22 TABLE 6 Long Range (2020) Total Peak Hour Operation gam" Timberline/Drake (signal) EB D D WB D D N8 D c SB C D OVERALL D D Timberline/Custer (signal) EB_ c C WB C D WB- C B S13 c C OVERALL C C Drake/Illinois (stop sign) NB RT B c SB RT C B WB LT A B Custer/Illinois (stop sign) NB LTfr/RT B C SB LTfr/RT B C EB LT A A W13 LT A A Timberline/RT-in/RT-out (stop sign) WB RT B B Custer/RT-in/RT-out (stop sign) SB RT B B 21 Short Range (2007) Total Peak Hour Operation we Timberline/Drake NB C C (stop sign) (stop sign) 20 TABLE Short Range (2007) Background Peak Hour Operation EB C C WB D D Timberline/Drake (signal) NB C C SB C C OVERALL C C EB C C WB C C Timberline/Custer (signal) NB B B SB B B OVERALL B B Drake/Illinois (stop sign) SB RT C C TABLE 4 Long Range (2020) Background Peak Hour Operation M, 0464 'n "My- agg, t Timberline/Drake (signal) EB D D WB D D NB C C SB C C OVERALL C D Timberline/Custer (signal) EB C C WB C C NB C B SB C C OVERALL C C Drake/Illinois (stop sign) N13 RT B B SB RT C B Custer/Illinois (stop sign) N13 LTfr/RT B B SB LTfr/RT B B EB LT A A WB LT A A 19 11 11 forecasts, peak hour signal warrants will be met at the Timberline/Custer intersection.

The intersection geometry used in the various analyses is that which is currently existing or needed to achieve acceptable operation in the respective short range and long range futures. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 6, the key intersections operate in the short range background condition as indicated in Table 3. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix D. The key intersections will operate acceptably during the peak hours with the warranted signal at the Timberline/Custer intersection. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 7, the key intersections operate in the long range background condition as indicated in Table 4. ' Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix E. The key intersections will operate acceptably during the peak hours. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 10 and the recommended geometrics, the key intersections operate in the short range total condition as indicated in Table 5. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix F. The key intersections will operate acceptably. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 11, the key intersections operate in the long range total condition as indicated in Table 6. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix G. The key intersections will operate acceptably. Review of the peak hour traffic volumes on Illinois Drive and the traffic assignment of site generated traffic indicates that the two full -movement intersections (Johnson Way and Waukee Drive) will operate acceptably. This conclusion is reached by inspection. Interior Street Classification The street classifications of Timberline Road, Drake Road, and Custer Drive have been established on the Fort Collins Master Street .. Plan. The forecasted traffic volumes support those street classifications. Illinois Drive is not categorized on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. The forecasted daily traffic volume just south of Drake Road is expected to be 3100-3200 vehicles. The forecasted daily traffic volume just north of Custer Drive is expected to be 2700-2800 vehicles. Both of these volumes are within the minor collector street range. .o Go 0 o 103 n 245/190 c 5/5 — 360/340 `IO �— 7001610 155/110 J /—20/35 490/355 1 440/635 Drake I 1001225 295/400 — to to La ,n 510/480 S r' c.' o - `L7 On N st n N i i i \-6Q235 RT-in/RT-out 1 � �O o 0 co E n O Flo co co LOfl- It ` o m `-125/95 p o 20/40 ' `) CO + 5/10 N 1 Q/2Q JN z N _F 290/225 215285 — 320t250 /r + 5/5 10/5 35/140 1 Custer 5/10 U*� o 0 125/300 — � 20/15 0 5/15 O ' � Z IN � � N t0 e- �— AM/PM Rounded to Nearest 5 Vehicles LONG RANGE (2020) TOTAL Figure 11 PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 17 d 1 F- ,9 o 190/145 2 M L `I'' CO -t— 290275 110/T0 4201325 1 T 250/355 410/370 —y p p uO v o 6 qr co ;n eo O O 3 i 6 250 RTAWRT-out rC) ' p m v 0 Q m c F— ' M O m O 04 rn toL j J l 110/85 — NOM 190/270 to 5/15 �— 275215 10/5 1 T NOM — ul� U'j U'> ' 20/15 o Cq I N C1 p co f7 —t— AM/PM Rounded to Nearest ' 5 Vehicles ' SHORT RANGE (2007) TOTAL }' PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 16 N .o 0 `co 5/5 co �— 530/460 1 � 20/35 335/490 —o 90220 --y r Cl) 0 m Q 0 0 1020 �— 270/200 Drake Custer 30/125 105280 — Figure 10 to �-- AM/PM pw ke ter LONG RANGE (2020) SITE GENERATED Figure 9 PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 15 qj AM/PM SHORT RANGE (2007) SITE GENERATED PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 14 ke ter Figure 8 �r r m F- o�LO N \ N 0 ZE o v ` 245/190 ' " — 3601340 155/110 490/355 1 T I I I rr 250/310 510/480 �Lo LO v C> or i N LO N ar r r r rLa co N 125/95 to LO f J l 180/115 10/5 1 5/10 20/15 o o a' 0 o n co ,J �— AM/PM Rounded to Nearest 5 Vehicles LONG RANGE (2020) BACKGROUND PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 13 41,61 N .o 0 5/5 700/610 440/635 f)/ Drake 20/25 04 N 0 0 5/10 ,� O � I� IZ "' — 280/205 J i /—5/5 t ,/ Custer 5/15 f 120/300 — ,o 2 to 5/15 —y `" O tO Z Figure 7 r, SCALE: l"=Z000- TRIP DISTRIBUTION Figure 5 i111 i 11 if _I TABLE-2 Trip Generation o e lase _ > #fir P1Icr 850 Supermarket 66.0 KSF 111.51 7360 1.98 131 1.27 84 5.871 387 5.64 372 820 Retail 38.6 KSF 42.92 1657 0.63 24 0.40 15 1.80 69 1.94 75 912 Bank 4.0 KSF 265.21 1061 5.10 20 3.85 15 7.44 30 7.60 30 Subtotal 10,078 175 114 486 477 Passby adjustment 2510 24 24 177 177 Total 7570 151 90 309 300 Trip Distribution Directional distribution of the generated trips was determined for the Rigden Farm Commercial based upon gravity model analysis, the location of trip productions for these types of land uses, and engineering judgment. Future year data was obtained from the NFRRTP and other traffic studies. Figure 5 shows the short range and long range trip distribution used for the Rigden Farm Commercial. Background Traffic Projections Figures 6 and 7 show the respective short range and long range background traffic projections. Background traffic projections for the short range and long range future horizons were obtained by reviewing the NFRRTP and various traffic studies prepared for this area of Fort Collins. The other traffic studies in this area are for Rigden Farm Phases 1 and 2, The Willow at Rigden Farm, Spring Creek Farm, The Johnson Farm Property, and Centerpoint Plaza. Trip Assignment Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed trips are expected to be loaded on the street system. The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution process. Figures 8 and 9 show the respective short range and long range site generated peak hour traffic assignment. Figure 10 shows the total (site plus background) short range peak hour traffic at the key intersections. Figure 11 shows the total long range morning and afternoon peak hour traffic at the key intersections. Signal Warrants As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed at any location unless warrants are met according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The Rigden Farm Commercial is a commercial development, located in the northeast quadrant of the Timberline/Drake intersection in Fort Collins. Figure 4 shows a site plan of the Rigden Farm Commercial. The short range analysis (Year 2007) includes development of the Rigden Farm Commercial and an appropriate increase in background traffic, due to normal growth and other potential developments in the area. The long range analysis year is considered to be 2020. The site plan shows the Rigden Farm Commercial indicating the primary accesses to the arterial streets, the collector street, and the local street adjacent to the Rigden Farm Commercial. The control and allowed movements at each access are: a right-in/right-out access to Timberline Road; a right-in/right-out access to Custer Drive; a right-in/right-out/left-in access (Illinois Drive) to Drake Road, and a full -movement access (Illinois Drive) to Custer Drive. There will be two full -movement intersections to Illinois Drive. Truck access to the rear of the King Soopers store and the adjacent retail buildings to the east will be from/to Drake Road. These accesses were shown to City staff in a number of preliminary meetings. The use and locations were agreed upon. Analyses of the service accesses were not requested. Trip Generation Trip generation is important in considering the impact of a ?� development such as this upon the existing and proposed street system. A compilation of trip generation information contained in Trip Generation, 6th Edition, ITE was used to estimate trips that would be generated by the proposed/expected uses at this site. Table 2 shows the expected trip generation on a daily and peak hour basis. While the total trip generation for this site is calculated to be in excess of 10,000 trip ends per weekday, it is important to understand that not all of these are new vehicle trips on the adjacent street system. Retail centers and banks attract patrons who are already on the adjacent streets. For example, a person may_ stop at a store or bank as an intermediate destination in a home -based work trip. This is common and the Institute of Transportation Engineers has conducted research regarding what are termed passby trips. The "Trip Generation Handbook," ITE was used as a reference in calculating and assigning passby trips. Based upon this reference and in consideration of the total calculated trip generation, the new trips that the Rigden Farm Commercial would generate would be approximately 7500-7600 trip ends per weekday. This value is significantly less than the 10,078 trip ends shown in Table 2. There may also be some captured trips, which are defined as a single trip involving multiple on -site trip purposes, at the Rigden Farm Commercial. This can reduce the trip generation by an additional 5-10 percent. In order to conduct a conservative analysis, captured trips were not included in the trip generation or subsequent assignments. .5 8 t m ! m M � N N 2` O "' 56154 to i �- 81 /136 7/8 Drake 310/126 126/49 m v m rv. 341 /289 M r rn N 1� Lo N mrn� 1/6 /_ 0/0 5/10 ?� 5/2 Custer 0/0 N0 co N °' t 19/10 —y Lofl- W_ O -a*-- AM/PM AVERAGED RECENT PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC i 6 N Figure 3 a� if 0) o N Eo- Cl U�l co"' 56/54 f 81/136 if 310/126 1 4 Drake 126/49 _ c') r-- m r 347296 ? rl oC) N co F� j N cv N 1/6 t N O�1 M -.0— 0/0 5/10 Custer 5/2 0/0 O ao rn 19/10 CD :, C) 0 t j �— AM/PM RECENT PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 5 N Figure 2 SITE LOCATION SCALE: 1 "=2000' 3 Figure 1 II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The location of the Rigden Farm Commercial is shown in Figure 1. It is important that a thorough understanding of the existing conditions be presented. Land Use Land uses in the area are primarily either vacant (agriculture) or residential. A residential development (Rigden Farm) is under construction to the east of the site. The Spring Creek Farm mixed -use development, located northwest of the site, and the Johnson Farm Property, located north of the site, are currently going through the M! land development approval process in Fort Collins. Currently, these ' properties are in agricultural use. Land adjacent to the site is flat s (<2% grade) from a traffic operations perspective. The center of Fort Collins lies to the west of the proposed Rigden Farm Commercial. The Timberline Road corridor, according to the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan, will have a mixture of land uses, including employment, } residential, industrial, and commercial. As such, it is considered to be a "Mixed Use District." Roads The primary streets near the Rigden Farm Commercial site are Timberline Road, Drake Road, and Custer Drive. Timberline Road is to the west of the Rigden Farm Commercial site. It is classified as a six - lane arterial beyond the year 2015 on the Fort Collins Master Street j Plan. Currently, Timberline Road has a four -lane cross section near the Rigden Farm Commercial site. At Drake Road, Timberline Road has two travel lanes in each direction, dual northbound left -turn lanes, a southbound left -turn lane, northbound and southbound right -turn lanes, and bike facilities. The existing speed limit in this area is 40 mph. Drake Road is north of the Rigden Farm Commercial site. It is an east -west street designated as a four -lane arterial west of Timberline Road and a two-lane arterial east of Timberline Road on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Currently, it has a two-lane cross section adjacent to the site. At Timberline Road, Drake Road has two travel lanes in each direction, dual eastbound left -turn lanes, a westbound left -turn lane, an eastbound right -turn lane, and bike facilities. The existing speed limit in this area is 40 mph. The Timberline/Drake intersection has signal control. Custer Drive is south of the Rigden Farm Commercial site. It is an east -west street designated as a major collector on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Currently, it has a two-lane cross section in the area of the site. At Timberline Road, Custer Drive has an eastbound combined left-turn/through/right-turn lane, a westbound left -turn lane, and a westbound combined through/right-turn lane. The Timberline/Custer intersection has stop sign control on Custer Drive. f ,� 2 1 I. INTRODUCTION This transportation impact study addresses the capacity, geometric, and control requirements at and near the proposed development of the Rigden Farm Commercial. The proposed Rigden Farm Commercial is located in the southeast quadrant of the Timberline/Drake intersection in Fort Collins, Colorado. During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project planning consultant (Wyatt & Associates), the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering staff, the Fort Collins Transportation Planning staff, and the Fort Collins Current Planning staff. This study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins transportation impact study guidelines. A Base Assumptions Form and related information are provided in Appendix A. The study involved the i following steps: - Collect physical, traffic, and development data; Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment; - Determine peak hour traffic volumes; - Conduct capacity and operational level of service analyses on key )� intersections; - Analyze signal warrants; - Conduct level of service evaluation of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of transportation. i �� 1 LIST OF FIGURES Figure Page 1.

A: 15 acres approx., east of that MMN Q: Will the MMN property east of this be like Parkside? A: Most likely it will be more diverse, 18-20 units/acre. Q: What are the plans for lighting in parking lot? A: State of the art - deep box, flat lens, horizontal box. King Soopers has worked out a design that will reduce light spillage. The plan will need to be at levels consist with City requirements. Light plan will also need to be coordinated with the landscape plan Q: How will trucks leave the site, will they go through the neighborhood? A: Most will take Drake to Ziegler to Harmony then out to 1-25. Some vendors may have some traffic in neighborhood, but not likely much. Q: What about Timberline Road north of this site where it is currently 1 lane in each direction? A: It's a tough issue. Riigden Farm was required to participate substantially in the existing improvements to the Drake/Timberline intersection. Before any development can occur on the Johnson Farm property north of this site, Timberline will need to be improved from the point where it necks down to one lane, all the way through and including the Prospect intersection. A ballot initiative to fund a capital project for the City to make these improvements may be on ballot this November. Q: Where will any new traffic signals be serving this site? A: Custer Drive will be signalized when it meets traffic warrants. Q: Church traffic? A: The church is served by 2 curb cuts to Timberline and 2 street connections to Custer Drive. When the USGS when its gone, intersections with Timberline will line up and potentially have signal. Q: Will King Soopers operate 24 hours a day? A: Yes. Page 1 of 1 No Text Drake Road will also beretained .with this plan_, A smaller landscape feature area is also.provided at the -intersection of Drake Road With -Illinois Street as an entrance element into the development • (vi) The applicant shall submit. as evidence bf successful completion 'of the applicable criteria,'. the completed documents pursuant to these regulationsfor,each proposed use.:. All usescontained within this pro posed developed areommercial.in nature'and shall -be consistent with the requirements of the NC Zone District. Therefore, the applicable documents required for the Project Development Plan with Final Plat are -included herein. (vii) Narrative description of how conflicts between land uses' or disturbances to wetlands or natural -area are being avoided. . There are no conflicting land uses in the project as all are consistent with NC Zone district. No wetlands occur on the site: to create any disturbance issues. ; (viii) Written narrative addressing eacli concernlissue•raised at neighborhood meeting. A neighborhood meeting was held `oh -August 8, 2002 and was attended by approximately 5 neighbors- For the most part the questions raised were related to the future of proposed properties surrounding this site and particularly.to the east of the site.. Troy Jones, Current Planning, answered these questions. The following are questions and answers related to the specific commercial -development. 1. Describe parking lot lighting. Detailed site lighting photometrics will be submitted to.the :city as a'part-of the requirements and will meet all requirements,ofclty codes. Lighting will consist of state of the art,. deep box, horizontal'lamp and flat'lens fixtures utilizing high-pressure sodium as the light source. Lighting will be controlled such that spillage onto adjacent,properties is eliminated and.light levels am..consisten't with city requirements. The light plan will be coordinated with the landscaping plan:for ' uniformlighting. 2. -Describe the truck circulation patterns on the street system. Trucks will not enter the residential community andcan access the arterial and collector streets in the area., The large trucks will leave the site on eastbound Drake and will continue T6,Ziegler and Harmony then east to 1-25. .3. What mitigation will occur on Timberline Road north. of the site? The developer is responsible for payment of traffic impact. fees and the city is responsible for future road improvements in the area. Troy Jones answered by stating that Rigden Farm was required to participate. substantially in the existing improvements to the Drake/Timberline intersection. Before any development can occur on the Johnson Farm property north,of this site; Timberline will need,to be;improved'from thepoint where it.necks down to, one lane, all the way through -and including the Prospect intersection. A ballot initiative to .fund a capital project for the City to make these improvements may be on the ballot this . November.' :_ 6 The site plan submitted herein•represents solutions to the plannirig:and design issues as described below: 1.' Access: The project could not be brought foiward.by the applicant unless a 3/4 turn access.movementcould be allowed on Drake Road -at Illinois. Street. In order to accomplish this request a detailed Traffic Impact.Analysis was prepared in advance of a final site plan and a detailed study was made at this intersection with an accompanying 'design solution:. A waiver request is required which`reduces.the length of the standard taper bays andthe site plan and traffic study indicates this solution: 'The developer will be.requiredto reconstruct the existing median in Drake and make other necessary'roadway-improvements to accomplish this.. access. These improvements are shown in the roadway improvement drawings. The right -turn access drive on Timberline Road that;was previously,constructed ' was relocated to the south to better facilitate traffic'movements. Appropriate turn ,., lanes will be'required.to be constructed bythe developer.with this improvement. The fmal_'site plan eliminated.a third access'to.Illinois Street to.allow for safe northbound left -turn movements into -the site. The remaining access points align . with future streets to the east. The truck access into the loading'dock on Drake has•been designed such that traffic movement on Drake is riot affected. -All-truck circulation occursin the rear. service area of the grocery -store and :retail shops and'is screened by a masonry - screen wall as wellas street tree planting. 2. Building Orientation.. The.final plan represents solutions to building orientation issues raised at Conceptual Review: The major anchor grocery store has.been. moved to the north end of the. site. Loading is now oriented away from residential uses and adjacent to the more intense vehicular.aciivity on Drake and Timberline. The building faces -south and retail buildings have been moved to the:east with frontages, oriented to both Illinois Street and to the internal parking lot of the shopping center. Other future buildings will orient. in_a similar manner to Custer Drive and to Timberline. -This orientation accomplishes- the "neo-traditional" planning concepts represented in the Overall Development Plan. , The building patterns and orientations now.showri.on.the plan form anantegral, " "town-like"pattern that will relate to'pr"op4 sed future commercial and mixed use development which wilt occur bn the east side'of Illinois Street: 3. Pedestrian Circulation., Considerable emphasis has been placed on pedestrian movements and activities'in the shopping. center-. A network of sidewalks has been provided around the perimeter.of the site that provides access to and from the residential community. The site perimeter is then linked -with a series of intemal sidewalk&and-plazas that connect the various buildings to each other and provide protected access to the parking lot. An enlarged plaza area has been Policy CD-3.4: Parking Improvements. On street parking*on Illinois. Street has been provided and the larger parking lots have -been "compartmentalized" to achieve a sense of smaller landscaped screened parking lots'with. good linkage to pedestrian walkways: (ii) Description.ofproposed open space, buffering,.landscaping'circulation transition areas, . wetlands and natural areas on.site'and in general viciniiyofproject. : There are no wetlands or natural landscaping'areas existing on the site at the.time of initial development with the exception oftwo. large cottonwood trees near the northwest comer of the site..The preservation of these -trees is a part of.the overall project development and landscaping plan. All other opens space and landscaping is provided on the landscape plan and meets the city's, requirements for, street trees, internal parking lot landscaping and general landscaping requirements. (tii) Statement pf proposed ownership and maintenance of public and private open space areas: applicant's intentions with regard to future ownership of all or portions.of the project development plan. All open space on the project site will be owned by ,the, individual Jot owner within the overall shopping center but each lot owner will be required to sign and have recorded with his property a "Declaration of Easements, Covenants. and Restrictions" (ECR's) which places all "common area" -within the center (all`property outside of the building wall of the.individual ' building) into a maintenance and use agreement wherein the project landscaping, parking lot, site lighting and.etc. are considered as common areas and open space and are maintained' in common , by the property manager for the project. The project landscaping will be irrigated by a central. irrigation system and all,landscaping maintenance and replacement will be done by the property manager as described in the ECR's The initial Phase 1 of development will include'the King Sooper- building on:Lot 1, Retail Building A & B on Lot 2, Retail Building C on Lot. 3 and FirstBank Building on Lot 8. However included as apart of Phase I construction will be parking lot and perimeter landscaping improvements associated with1ofs 4,5,6 and 7. Future ownership will involve construction of buildings on Lots 4,5,6 and-7 but only after each"lot has gone through'an.entitlement process as required by the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Each of these lots will also participate in the "Declaration of Easements, Covenants and Restrictions" as,noted above: (iv) Estimated number of employees ., The estimated number of employees for'the King Soopers.Grocery: Store is approximately 150; An estimate for the number of employees for the retail shops is unknown at this time and will depend upon the final list of tenants signing leases in the center. The first phase of retail construction will include approximately 22,860 s.f and may result in an estimated work force of 75 to 100 employees. The FirstBank wilt"employ' approximately 6 to 8 people. _ (v) ' Description of rationale. behind the assumptions and choices made -by the'applicant. In -August of 2001 the project::was presented to the Conceptual Review Team and a report from this team was returned to the,developer in October. Several other:subsequent meetings were held. with the planning, engineering and transportation stafffo discuss the issues in order'to prepare a�revised plan that addressed the issues identified at Concepivaf Review., Policy AN-1.1: Relationships.to Residential Districts. This project will implement this .:. relationship proposed in the original Overall. Development -Plan for Rigden Farm: Policy AN-1.2:. Street Networks. The approval of the subdivision plat and construction of this project. will also .implement this policy. Policy AN-1.3: TraffiaCalming_The specific design of Illinois Street as provided by this project will achieve this policy. - Policy AN 4.6: Pedestrian Network. The' design of this commercial' center "will• achieve a significant pedestrian network both internally to the development -and as pedestriaii•connections to the overall grid system conceived in the original -.Overall Development Plan of Rigden Farm. Policy AN-3. l :. Overall Coordination. Construction of this Neighborhood Commercial Center, achieves this policy. Policy MMN-1.3: Non -Residential, Uses. The tonstruction of neighborhood_serving ..retail uses achieves this policy for New Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhoods, 'Policy MMN-2: f: Size. •The.Rigden Farm Commercial project is complementary to this, policy as established by the approval of,the Overall Development Plan for Rigden Farm. Policy MMN-2.3: Building Orientation. Implementation. of this planwill achieve over 40% building facades on public street frontages with public, sidewalks and. outdoor spaces to connect to the streets: Principle CD-1: Size and Scale of Businesses. This principle is achieved with a varying size of buildings within the development from the 66,000 s.f grocerystore.to buildings,as small as'5,000 s.f. Policy CD-1. L.New Development. This policy is achieved -as evidenced by the site plan where over 40% of the street fronts have building facing them with a mix of types, sizes, ' pedestrian orientations, and convenient safe.parking areas: Policy CD-2.2: Pedestrian Access. The site plan provides for an extensive. arrangement of perimeter and internal pedestrian sidewalk_ connections, including�major sidewalks through the .. -parking lot areas with connections. to public streets. Policy CD-3.3: Linkage to Neighborhoods Adiacent to. Commercial Districts. The site plan for Rigden Farm Commercial achieves this policy.via both pedestrian and vehicular. linkages. A transit,facility.may be constructed on the site in a location yet to be determined by the city's transit planners. Walkways will combine street tree plantings, raised color concrete islands and.textured paving at crosswalks. _ 2 wYATT & ASSOCIATES, P.C.X1T,1VARCHITEUS and, PLANNERS September 2.7, 2002 " Planning and Zoning Board Members • In care of Mr. Troy Jones Project Planner Community Planning and Environmental Services' 281 North College Avenue Fort.Collins, CO 80522-0580 RE: RIGDEN FARM COMMERCIAL DISTRICT —'NC PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN — THE SHOPS AT RIGDEN FARM STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES BACKGROUND This Project Development Plan and Final Plat. are for the approximate 10-acre; Neighborhood Commercial District (N-C) which is located at the southeast corner of Timberline Road and Drake Road: This site is bound on the north by Drake Road, on:the east by anew Illinois Street, on the south by Custer Drive and on the west by Timberline koad.

The Shops @ Rigden Farm, 8th Filing (King Soopers), PDP, #56-98R September 4, 2003 P & Z Meeting Page 3 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: LMN, MMN, T; planned mixed -use development S: LMN, MMN; existing and planned mixed -use development (Rigden Farm) E: LMN, MMN; existing and planned mixed -use development (Rigden Farm) W: RL; existing residential (Meadows East) The property was annexed into the City in November, 1997 as part of the Timberline Annexation. The subject property was a portion of Parcel A of the Rigden Farm ODP that was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in April, 1999. Parcel A was identified as a Neighborhood Commercial Center (supermarket, pharmacy, offices, retail, restaurants, and multi -family residential) on 28.92 acres. It remained in Parcel A as a Neighborhood Commercial Center on an Amended ODP that was approved through the City's minor amendment review process in November, 2002. The size of Parcel A was decreased to 23.35 acres. 2. The Project The proposed Shops @ Rigden Farm center will contain a 66,283 square foot supermarket (identified as a King Soopers), a 5,468 square foot bank (identified as FirstBank), and 42,587 square feet of associated commercial, retail uses. Approximately 12,000 square feet of floor area will be in -line commercial, retail uses attached to the supermarket. This PDP identifies Lots 1, 2, 3, and 8 as the first phase of development. These lots contain the supermarket, retail spaces A, B, and C (with 21,949 square feet of floor area), and the bank (at the southwest corner of the center). Future Pad Sites A, B, C, and D are located on Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7. As a minimum, development of each of these pad sites must go through the City's minor amendment process for review of the building placement, pedestrian connections, proposed architecture, and landscaping. The, Shops @ Rigden Farm, 8th Filing (King Soopers), PDP, #56-98R September 4, 2003 P & Z Meeting Page 2 standards located in Division 4.19 Neighborhood Commercial (NC) of ARTICLE 4 — DISTRICTS. Supermarkets are permitted in the NC — Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District, subject to a Planning and Zoning Board (Type II) review. The purpose of the NC District is: "..... intended to be a mixed -use commercial core area anchored by a supermarket or grocery store and a transit stop. The main purpose of this District is to meet consumer demands for frequently needed goods and services, with an emphasis on servicing the surrounding residential neighborhoods typically including a Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. In addition to retail and service uses, the District may include neighborhood -oriented uses such as schools, employment, day care, parks, small civic facilities, as well as residential uses. This District is intended to function together with a surrounding Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, which in turn serves as a transition and a link to larger surrounding low -density neighborhoods. The intent is for the component zone districts to form an integral town -like pattern of development with this District as a center and focal point; not merely a series of individual development projects in separate zone districts." This proposal complies with the purpose of the NC District as it provides a supermarket - based shopping center that is part of a large overall development plan (ODP) for commercial and residential uses. The ODP links together the NC District with MMN - Medium Density Mixed -Use and LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use Districts by a planned network of streets and trails. This shopping center will also serve future MMN and LMN Districts and existing RL - Low Density Residential Districts to the north and west. This proposed new development will be on a vacant parcel of land and will tie into and utilize existing roadways, utilities, and services in the area.
