Linden Center Drive is a local street that serves commercial/light industrial/storage uses adjacent to it. It is a loop street, intersecting with Linden across from Buckingham on the south and the north property line of the brewery on the north. Linden Street terminates at Vine Drive on the north and enters "Old Town" on the south. It is posted at 30 mph. Buckingham Street connects Linden Street and Lemay Avenue. It is posted at 30 mph. Current Transfort Route 8 serves this site. Route 8 is a loop route that goes northbound on Linden Street, past the New Belgium Brewery. Service is at 30 minute headways. There is a Transfort stop on the west side of the brewery between Buckingham Street and the Linden Street access. Route 8 serves downtown Fort Collins, where transit patrons can transfer to other routes. This site is/will be within a half mile of existing and future Transfort routes. By definition, the travel time factor will be 2.0 times the auto travel time and the load factor will be 1.0. Unless the City reduces transit service, the transit level of service will be acceptable. There are currently sidewalks adjacent to the site. These will be extended per City street standards as the site continues to develop. This site is not in or within 1320 feet of the pedestrian district, nor is it in or within 1320 feet of an activity corridor or activity center. There are gaps in the sidewalk system beyond the land controlled by this land owner. This particular use will not likely have frequent pedestrian activity. The Pedestrian LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix A. The primary pedestrian destination will be a transit corridor/ route. The current level of service to this existing transit route is in category A. There are some residential areas to the southeast of the site. While this residential area can meet the directness criteria, the lack of off -site pedestrian facilities will cause the level of service criteria not to be met. This cannot be expected to be remedied by this particular land use. It is an existing condition and should be remedied by the City. The probability of an employee of this use living in this adjacent residential area is extremely small. There are designated bike routes and bike lanes on both Buckingham Street and Linden Street. The "Poudre Trail" is located approximately 800 feet southwest of the site. The Bicycle LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix A. Two potential destinations are listed. Both of these have excellent connectivity to the site. Other areas of the City can be accessed via adjacent and nearby bike facilities. In addition to meeting the bicycle level of service criteria, the New Belgium Brewery provides on -site bike racks for employees and visitors. It is concluded that expansion of the New Belgium Brewery will meet all applicable transportation level of service criteria.

It is z located in the northeast quadrant of the Linden/Buckingham/ 0 Linden Center intersection. The scope of this transportation a impact study was discussed with Eric Bracke. The focus of this study consists of analyzing trip generation and addressing the non -motor vehicle level of service near the New Belgium Brewery. The existing brewery has 27,800 square feet of floor space. There are 55 employees. This use is considered to be light industrial. There are no pub facilities at this site. There is minimal retail activity related to this product and souvenir shirt sales. The brewery is expected to be expanded over a 2 to 5 year period. The purpose of the expansion is to produce more beer. Much of the expansion is devoted to increased production and storage of ingredients. Over the phased expansion program, the area of this facility will a increase by 41,225 square feet plus additional tanks. The Z future employment is forecasted to be 90. While the building w area will more than double, the employment will only Z experience a' 64 percent increase. The more appropriate Z variable in determining trip generation is employment at a LU Z small facility such as the New Belgium Brewery. Table 1 shows o the calculated trip generation from the existing facility. Peak hour trip generation is calculated to be 24 trip ends in 11 o the morning peak hour and 23 trip ends in the afternoon peak w hour. Based upon casual observation, the operation at the a Linden/Buckingham/Linden Center intersection, as well as, the site access intersections is acceptable. Table 2 shows the calculated trip generation for the expanded New Belgium Brewery. The forecasted trip generation is 40 trip ends in U. the morning and 38 trip ends in the afternoon. This increase in vehicle trips will probably not be noticeable on the area streets. All of the key intersections will continue to operate acceptably.
