The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution process. Figures 6 and 7 show the assignment of the generated trips in the respective short and long range future conditions. i The cited traffic impact study was used .to develop the background traffic. The initial phase of development included the existing traffic plus the Kawulok Lemay Project and Parcels A and B of Lincoln East PUD. This traffic forecast is shown in Figure 8. The short range peak hour traffic is shown in Figure 9. This forecast includes the expected traffic from a Power Center development that is being considered east of Lemay Avenue, between Mulberry Street and Lincoln Avenue. This Power Center will likely include discount retail, general retail, movie theaters, and restaurants. The short range traffic shown in Figure 9 includes Parcels A and B of the Lincoln East PUD. Figure 10 shows the morning and afternoon weekday peak hour traffic from full development of the Lincoln East PUD and the background traffic in the long range future (2015). The forecasts shown in Figures 9 and 10 give a reasonable representation of nearby development. When other development proposals are put forth for other properties, additional traffic studies should be performed. IV. TRAFFIC IMPACTS AND ANALYSIS 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. From the short and long range forecasts (Figures 9 and 10), no additional signals will likely be warranted. Operation Analysis Capacity analyses were performed on the key intersections in the vicinity of the proposed Lincoln East PUD. The. key intersections are the Lincoln/Lemay intersection and the four site access intersections described earlier. Analyses were performed for the existing plus site traffic, short range (2000) traffic, and the long range (2015) traffic conditions. 4 I I I I . I I � t I 1 LINCOLN A VENUE A& N NO SCALE PARCELS A AND B SITE PLAN Figure 4 of the access intersections are numbered for easy reference later in this report. It is expected that Lincoln East PUD will be implemented in a phased development program. Parcels A and B will comprise the first phase. These two buildings will be built as soon as possible after the approvals are secured. A site plan of Parcels A and B is shown in Figure 4. Full development will occur sometime between the year 2000 and the year 2015. The long range (2015) future assumes full development of the Lincoln East PUD. 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 was prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and is presented in Trip Generation, 5th Edition, updated in February 1995. These documents were primarily used to project trips that would be generated by the proposed uses at this site. Table 2 shows the expected trip generation on a weekday and a weekday peak hour basis. Land use code 846 (Gasoline/Service Station with Convenience Market with a Car Wash) and Code 833 (Fast Food Restaurant without a Drive -Through Window) were used.in developing the trip generation forecasts for Parcel A. The cited reference does not address quick Tube facilities. Data for this use was obtained from a local 3-bay facility. This data covered an eight month period from October 1995 to May 1996. The use on Parcel C will be auto -oriented retail/service. Code 840 (Auto Care Center) was used to develop the trip generation for this parcel. Parcels D and E will be employment uses similar to the Airport Industrial Park. Code 110 (General Light Industrial) was used to develop this trip generation. Trip Distribution Directional distributions were determined for the auto related service/retail uses and the industrial/employment uses. These distributions considered trip attractions and productions in Fort Collins, and existing travel patterns in the area. Figure 5 .shows the trip distribution used in the traffic assignment process. Institute of Transportation Engineers' research indicates that the convenience/gas store and fast food restaurant land uses draw approximately 40-60% of their patrons from the background traffic on the adjacent streets. Therefore, a passby factor of 0.40 was applied to the peak hour generated traffic. This factor does not affect the trip generation. The passby traffic is determined based upon the actual volumes on the adjacent streets. 3 OVERALL SITE PLAN Figure 3 TABLE 1 1996 Peak Hour Intersection Operation Level of Service Intersection AM PM Lincoln/Lemay (signal) B B TABLE 2 Trip Generation Daily A.M.

There are designated left -turn lanes approaching the Lincoln/Lemay intersection. This intersection is signalized. The postedspeed limit is 35 mph east of Lemay Avenue and 30 mph west of Lemay Avenue. Sight distance is generally not a problem. There are bike lanes on Lincoln Avenue to the west of Lemay Avenue. North Lemay Avenue borders the site on the west. It is designated as a major (4 lane) arterial. However, it currently has a two lane cross section with designated left -turn lanes approaching the Lincoln/Lemay intersection. The south leg has a designated right -turn lane also. The posted speed limit is 30 mph on North Lemay Avenue. There are bike lanes on both sides of Lemay Avenue. Long range transportation plans indicate that North Lemay Avenue will be realigned north of this site. The plans show Lemay Avenue angling to the northeast. It will pass east of the aforementioned residential area, and probably cross the railroad and Vine Drive on a grade separation. Timing of this realignment is not known. It is assumed that it will not occur prior to the year 2010. A draft of the "Structure Plan" of the Fort Collins City Plan does not show this realignment of Lemay Avenue.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The initial phase of the Lincoln East PUD will be a convenience/gas store, proposed to be located in the northeast quadrant of the Lincoln/Lemay intersection in Fort Collins. Figure 3 shows a schematic of the overall site plan of the Lincoln East PUD. Two accesses are proposed to Lemay Avenue and one access is proposed to Lincoln Avenue. An "off -site" access is shown just east of the site. This is expected to be a public street access that will also serve the Airport Industrial Park to the east.

INTRODUCTION This traffic impact study addresses the capacity, geometric, and control requirements at and near a proposed commercial development known hereinafter as the Lincoln East PUD. It is proposed to be located north of Lincoln Avenue and east of North Lemay Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado. During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project planning consultant (Cityscape Urban Design), and the Fort Collins Transportation Division. This study conforms with typical traffic impact study guidelines. The study involved the 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. The "Kawulok Lemay Avenue Project, Traffic Impact Study," July 1995, was also reviewed as part of this analysis. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The.location of the Lincoln East PUD site is shown in Figure 1. Since the impact in the short range, as well as, the long range is of concern, it is important that a thorough understanding of the existing conditions be presented. Land Use This area of Fort Collins primarily has various light industrial and commercial, uses. However, there is a small residential area approximately 1200 feet north of the site. Land uses to the east are light industrial. Land to the south of Lincoln Avenue is vacant and will likely be developed as commercial/retail. Land on the west side of Lemay Avenue has some light industrial uses. The center of Fort Collins lies to the west of the Lincoln East PUD. Roads The primary streets near the Lincoln East PUD are Lincoln Avenue and North Lemay Avenue. Lincoln Avenue borders the Lincoln East PUD site on the south. It is an east -west street designated as a minor arterial on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan.

Schlueter City of Fort Collins Stormwater Development 235 Mathews Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 Re: Lincoln East PUD Lemay & Lincoln Dear Mr. Schlueter: As a result of the conference call the other day with yourself, Mike Ludwig of the Planning Department, and myself, this letter is presented to show that the applicant, Diamond Shamrock, is in agreement with providing storm sewer improvements along the Lincoln Avenue frontage of the Lincoln East PUD project. These improvements shall be capable of handling the projected flow of 128.1 cfs according to the City Engineer per a recent Master Plan Drainage Study Completed for the City of Fort Collins. The applicant will be financially responsible for a percentage of the storm sewer improvements based on the fraction of historical flows versus the projected -flows. For example, the historical and projected flows were approximated to be 88 and 128 cfs, respectively. Thus, the applicant will be financially responsible for 88/128 or 69 percent of the overall cost of the storm sewer improvements along the Lincoln Avenue frontage. The remainder of the costs will be the responsibility of the City of Fort Collins. The applicant would like to request that the historical and projected flows be confirmed by the Stormwater Department as soon as possible. And in part to the agreement of completing the storm sewer improvements along the Lincoln Avenue frontage, it is also our understanding that no storm sewer improvements shall be required of the applicant within the lamay Avenue right-of-way. The above described material is our interpretation of the items discussed during the conference call between Mike Ludwig, Mr. Schlueter and myself. If you are not in agreement with any of the above, please feel free to call me at (303) 770-8884. MAR-47-97 MON 09:24 P. 04/04 14 out of a possible 54 or 26 percent. Several of these unqualifying criteria may be applicable if approached from an alternate perspective. This Preliminary PUD is part of the Lincoln East PUD Overall Development Plan which was recently annexed into the City of Fort Collins. The 15.5 acre ODP consists of five different undeveloped parcels which were planned as a business park providing business services, auto -related business, and industrial uses. Since this Preliminary PUD submittal is the first development to occur within the ODP, the minimum required point chart total is difficult to obtain. Understanding the development potential of the rest of the Lincoln East Business Park, both criteria 4b and 4e may be considered applicable. Criteria 4h may also be considered applicable in light of the recent ODP submittal for the Wal-Mart/ Housing Project_ With the addition of these three criteria, the qualifying point total reaches 36 or 66.7 percent. As a result. this Preliminary PUD would easily meet the required Point Chart Total. Knowing that this future development may bring the PUD development into compliance without altering the design content of the proposal, the Lincoln East PUD submittal may be interpreted as being equal or better to a project that meets the Paint Chart Total requirement. It is important to realize that the applicant has attempted to meet the public objectives and benefit the community through the intent of each of the criteria. In conclusion, please consider this Variance Request of the Point Chart Total for approval. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (303) 770-8884. Sincerely.

Refer to Appendix 'E'for energy conservation methods for calculating energy conservation points No. The proposed building will exceed the minimum standard of the Model Energy Code between 0 and 15 percent, therefore no points are awarded. This past year the new Model Energy Code was adopted which regulates a higher standard for all new developments. This criteria is a part of the Point Chart Requirements that were implemented approximately fifteen years ago and, it is our understanding, will be eliminated with the new Land Use Code. Since the new Model Energy Code will be enforced with this development, the energy efficiency of the structures will meet or exceed that of existing developments constructed in the past. Earned Total: 0 / 8 points Criteria 4h. - Is the project located with at least one -sixth 1116 or 16.7%J of its property boundary contiguous to existing urban development? ❑ Currently, this Preliminary PUD submittal has 15.9 percent contiguous boundary with the urban development located directly across Lemay Avenue. According to the Planning Department, an ODP has been submitted for the southeast comer of the intersection to be a possible Wal-Mart and housing development. This r future development will easily provide adequate contiguous boundary to meet this criteria. Again, since this Preliminary PUD is the first to develop, qualifying for points has been made difficult. Earned Total: 0 / 10 points Criteria 4i. - If Me site contains a building or place m which a historic event occurred, has special public value because of a notable architecture, or is of cu/tutral significance, does the project fulfill the following criteria? 1. Prevent creation of influences adverse to its preservation; 2. Assure that new structures and uses wil be in keeping with the character of the budding or place. Imitation of period styles should be avoided; and 3. propose adaptive use of the building or place that will lead to its continuance, conservation and improvement in an appropiate manner while respecting the integrity of the neighborhood. ❑ No. This criteria does not apply. Although, three trees within the site will be preserved with this development. These trees consist of one large 24" caliper oak, and two groups of cottonwood trees ranging from 5" to 8" caliper. The preservation of these trees were influenced by the review of the City Forester and a Tree Life Evaluation Study completed by the applicant. A pedestrian gathering area has been provided. near the cottonwoods consisting of a connecting sidewalk and picnic tables - Earned Total: 0 10 points In summary of the above, the actual number of points for the two qualifying criteria is P_wmzanzIDNmoNnv t700CS%ErnWZ wAadn Yma4M MAR-17-97 MON 09:22 P. 02/04 qualify for this criteria's points, the intent is displayed by the internal street system to meet the public objective.

Earned Total: 0 / 6 points Criteria 4c - Is the primary access to the activity from a non,arteria/ street? ■ Yes, access to the Diamond Shamrock and Quick Lube parcels is provided from a common access drive. The common access drive was planned and proposed to eliminate primary access into each property of the ODP from Lincoln and Lemay Avenues. Earned Total: 8 / 8 points Criteria 4d. - Is the projct on at least (21 two acres of land? ■ Yes, the total area of the development is 2.731 acres.

These auto -related services are conveniently being provided for future residential property located at the southeast comer of Lincoln & Lemay and the existing San Cristo Affordable Housing project. The dose -in location of these uses for nearby residents will help reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled and as an end result, limiting the effects on air quality. Once the business park develops, the opportunity for a significant mix of uses will be made possible. Earned Total: 0 / 6 points Criteria 4f. - Is there direct vehicular and pedestrian access between on -site parking areas and adjacent existing or future off -site parking areas which contain more than ten (10) spaces? ❑ Na The Lincoln East ODP was proposed to have an internal or common access drive to prevent each lot within the development from requesting direct access to either arterial, Lincoln or Lemay_ As a result, the Diamond Shamrock site has been separated from any other lots within the ODP by the future street connections. This separation makes Criteria 4f difficult to qualify for. The street connections to the east and north are provided with sidewalks which will allow pedestrian access from any future adjacent parking lots within the proposed business park. The Quick Lube property has the potential to connect their parking area with the parcel to the north in the future as development occurs.

The Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D satisfies all applicable All -Development Criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. 3. The Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D achieves 29% (14 out of 48) of the maximum applicable points on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Uses Point Chart of the LDGS, failing to achieve the minimum required 50%. 4. The Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D can be granted a variance to Criteria 4 of the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point chart on the basis that the variance would neither be detrimental to the public good nor impair the intent and purposes of this section; and that the plan submitted is equal to or better than a plan that achieves 50% of the maximum applicable points on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart; and 5. The Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a variance to Criteria 4 of the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercia Point Chart and approval of the Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D with the following condition: 1. The cost for the conveyance of off -site flows coming onto the site will be shared between the developer and the City of Fort Collins. The developer will be responsible for the cost of conveying all historic flows. The City will be responsible for the cost of conveying future flows greater than the historic flows. Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D March 24, 1997 P&Z Meeting Page 7 The elevations for the automobile lubrication facility on Lot 2 are very preliminary. Architectural elements such as a pitched roof and similar building materials and colors are proposed. Staff will further review all architectural elevations with any Final PUD submittal(s). Landscaping: The landscape plan consists of deciduous street trees, ornamental and evergreen trees, and deciduous and evergreen shrubs around the perimeter of the site. Foundation plantings will be provided along the north side of the building. Raised, patterned, pedestrian crossings are provided in various locations to mitigate pedestrian/vehicle conflicts. Picnic tables are provided in a significant landscaped area at the corner of Lemay and Lincoln Avenues. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: The Planning and Zoning Board determined that the proposed land uses on the Lincoln East PUD Overall Development Plan were compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Since the PUD is in conformance with the approved ODP, the PUD application is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Staff is not aware of any opposition to this request. 5. Transportation: The proposed traffic volumes generated are acceptable and were accounted for in the traffic study that was approved with the Lincoln East PUD Overall Development Plan. The proposed uses on Parcels A and B will generate approximately 1,720 average daily vehicle trips. Parking ratios are acceptable for the proposed use. 6. Stormwater: There is a significant amount of future stormwater flow from off -site that must cross the southern edge of this property. The applicant and the Stormwater Utility have agreed to share the cost of accommodating these flows. The applicant is responsible for the cost of accommodating the historic flows that currently cross the site as well as the flows caused by their development. The Stormwater Utility will be responsible for the cost of accommodating additional off -site flows from future development that were identified in the master drainage plan for the area. The Stormwater Utility and applicant requested that this agreement be included as a condition of Preliminary PUD approval.

Staff recommends that a variance to Criteria 4 of the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point chart can be granted on the basis that the variance would neither be detrimental to the public good nor impair the intent and purposes of this section; and that the plan submitted is equal to or better than a plan that achieves 50% of the maximum applicable points on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart 3. Desian: Layout: This request proposes a layout which places the 1808 square foot convenience store at the center of the Lot 1 with a split canopy for two pumps on each side of the store. A car - wash is located along the northern edge of Lot 1. The 1710 square foot automobile lubrication facility is on the eastern half of Lot 2. Neither of the lots have direct access to the surrounding public streets. Access to the lots is gained via two internal private drives; one from Lemay Avenue, the other from Lincoln Avenue. These private drives will also serve future phases within the Lincoln East PUD Overall Development Plan. Raised, patterned concrete walkways mitigate points of pedestrian/vehicle conflict. Architecture: The convenience store on Lot 1 will have a pitched roof with a maximum height of approximately 23 feet. The convenience store will be constructed of a grey -tone, fluted block with light -grey tone rockface block accents at the corners. Synthetic white stucco will be used for an accent band below the roof line. The roof will be constructed with a dark gray standing seam metal. The automated car wash building will also have a pitched roof with a maximum height of approximately 23 feet. Building materials and colors will be identical to the convenience store. The fuel dispenser island canopy is split into two sections. The section on the north side of the building measures 40' x 50 feet. The section on the south side of the building also measures 40' x 50 feet but includes the potential for a 27' x 50 expansion for the potential future addition of 2 more fuel pumps. Both sections of the canopy will have a maximum height of approximately 20 feet and be constructed of a dark gray metal canopy facia to match the roof of the convenience store. Canopy lighting will be fully recessed. The support columns will be wrapped with light gray rock face block and synthetic stucco.

This is the first filing of the of the Lincoln East ODP that was approved in October of 1996. Since it is the first filing, the applicant is unable to claim points for relation to an "existing" center. This is further complicated by the fact that all portions of the ODP that are not related to this Preliminary PUD will expire on March 28, 1997 pursuant to Ordinance No. 161, 1996. It is Staffs finding that the location of this request is appropriate, although the timing is ahead of the balance of the ODP. The basis for making this recommendation is found in the Iocational policies of the Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center: Design Guidelines, Policies, Criteria. While not technically a Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Center, the proposed use is identical to the common anchor found in such centers. These policies support the proposed location and are summarized as follows: a. "Neighborhood Convenience Centers shall be encouraged to locate adjacent to, or made a functional part of Neighborhood Shopping Centers, Industrial Business Parks, Business Service Centers, or higher density residential projects." There are existing (partially undeveloped) industrial parks to the east and west of this site. Multi -family residential is proposed to the south on the proposed Mulberry Lemay Crossing ODP. C. "Neighborhood Convenience Shopping Centers shall be developed within easy walking distance of existing or planned residential areas." There is existing residential to the north and multi -family residential is proposed to the south on the proposed Mulberry Lemay Crossing ODP. d. "Neighborhood Convenience Centers are discouraged from locating within .75 mile of an existing Neighborhood Convenience Center of convenience store." There are no neighborhood convenience centers or neighborhood convenience stores within .75 mile of the site. While unable to achieve 1/6th contiguity at the present time (it is the first filing of the ODP), the corner Lemay Avenue and Lincoln Avenue is not considered leap frog development. Rather, Parcels A and B of the Lincoln East ODP are considered sequential development Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D March 24, 1997 P&Z Meeting Page 4 B. All -Development Criteria This request satisfies all applicable All -Development Criteria of the LDGS. C. Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Uses Point Chart This request was evaluated against the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Uses Point Chart of the Land Development Guidance System and achieves 29% (14 out of 48) of the maximum applicable points on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Uses Point Chart of the LDGS, failft to achieve the minimum required 50%. The applicant has requested a variance. Points were awarded for the following criterion: C. having primary access from a non -arterial street- 8 points. d. being on at least two acres of land - 6 points. D. Variance Request: Section K, Variance Procedures, of the L.D.G.S. states: 'The Planning and Zoning Board is empowered to grant variances to the provisions of this section (the LDGS). The decision of the Planning and Zoning Board on any application for a variance shall be set forth in writing in the minutes of the meeting of the Board. Variance requests may be granted if the Board determines that the granting of the variance would neither be detrimental to the public good nor impair the intent and purposes of this section and if the applicant demonstrates: (1) That by reason of exceptional topographical, soil or other subsurface conditions or other conditions peculiar to the site, undue hardship would be caused to a subdivider by the strict application of any provisions of this section, or (2) That by reason of exceptional conditions or difficulties with regard to solar orientation or access, undue hardship would be caused to a subdivider by the strict application of any provisions of this section, or (3) That the plan as submitted is equal to or better than such plan incorporating the provision for which a variance is requested, or (4) The granting of a variance from the strict application of any provision would result in a substantial benefit to the City by reason of the fact that the proposed project would help satisfy a defined community need (such as Lincoln East Convenience Center PUD, Preliminary, #40-94D March 24, 1997 P&Z Meeting Page 3 COMMENTS Backqround: The surrounding zoning and land uses on the CityPlan zoning map are as follows: N: OUT & RL; an undeveloped, unincorporated parcel and undeveloped Fort Collins Business Center land; San Cristo Subdivision.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (970) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT the introduction of the Phase 1 portion of the Lincoln East PUD; this intersection will continue to operate acceptably with no roadway or intersection improvements required. The site access intersections will also operate acceptably. - By 2000, given development of Phase 1 of the proposed Lincoln East PUD and significant adjacent retail development, the Lincoln/Lemay intersection will continue to operate acceptably with geometric improvements. The additional lanes on Lemay Avenue are primarily due to the increase in background traffic. The site access intersections will operate acceptably with stop sign control. By 2015, with the projected traffic volumes, the key intersections will operate acceptably, with the mitigating improvements.

Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix D. The Lincoln/Lemay signalized intersection will operate similarly to the current acceptable operation. The site access intersections operate acceptably. Using the short range peak hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 9, the key intersections operate as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix E. The key intersections are expected to operate acceptably. With this level of background traffic, the westbound left turns at the Lincoln/Lemay intersection will preclude full turn access at Access 2. This access will become "covered" a number of times during the peak hours. In order to provide a safer environment,,this access should be changed to right-in/right-out. While this change is shown to occur by the year 2000, it is in actuality a function of traffic volumes. This condition could occur sooner than or later than that year. Traffic should be monitored to determine when this change should be made. In order to achieve acceptable operation, Lemay Avenue should have 2 northbound and 2 sorthbound through lanes. Geometry and signal phasing schemes are indicated on the calculation forms provided in Appendix E. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 10, the Lincoln/ Lemay intersection operates in the long range future as indicated in Table 5. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix F. Acceptable operation is achieved with the warranted geometric, phasing and cycle length changes indicated on the calculation forms. The site access intersections operate acceptably, except for minor street left turns. The delays associated with these left turns are normal at stop sign controlled intersections along arterial streets. V. CONCLUSIONS This study assessed the traffic impacts of the development of the Lincoln East PUD on the existing, short range (1996) and long range (2015) street system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: - The completion of the Lincoln East PUD is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. The Lincoln East PUD is expected to generate approximately 1570 trip ends daily in the short range future and 2910 trip ends daily in the long range future. A portion of the Phase 1 generated traffic will be from passby traffic. - Based upon current traffic volumes and existing geometry/ control, the Lincoln/Lemay intersection operates acceptably.
