HomeMy WebLinkAboutLINCOLN EAST PUD - OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - 40-94B - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORT W/ATTACHMENTSthe 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 l 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 southbound 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.

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. 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 N 20%-25% 25%-30% RETAIL USES 0 I L0 Lo Lo I 0 U" LINCOLN 5%-10% 0%-5% INDUSTRIAL / EMPLOYMENT USES TRIP DISTRIBUTION 4 N Figure 5 lam I I I I I I I I I I ` I � o I 1 I I 11 -1— - - 1 ham. 0 4 4 l l 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 �1 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 lube 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. I 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 I AI OVERALL SITE PLAN Figure 3 TABLE 1 S' 1996 Peak Hour Intersection Operation Level of Service Intersection AM PM i!

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.

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 guide.lines. 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 Avenue and North Lemay Avenue. Lincoln Avenue borders East PUD site on the south. It is an east -west street as a minor arterial on the Fort Collins Master Street 1 are Lincoln the Lincoln designated Plan.

LINCOLN EAST ODP and PHASE I PRELIMINARY PUD Statement of Planning Objectives August 26, 1996 The proposed Lincoln East development, located at the intersection of East Lincoln Avenue and North Lemay Avenue, is anticipated to comprise up to 164,000 t sq. ft. of mixed Business Services, Industrial, and Auto Related Convenience uses. The business service and auto related uses will complement the retail shopping center anticipated to be constructed immediately south of the subject property to provide the surrounding industrial, residential, and recreational properties with a variety of goods and services not readily available at this time. The project is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay); and is planned in keeping with the concept of encouraging the efficient utilization of existing and proposed street and utility systems. The proposed development is consistent with adopted City Land Use Policies which promote development near transportation facilities, and where existing infrastructure is in place. Specific applicable Land Use Policies including 3.a, 3.b, 3.d, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 29, 39, 40, 50, 51, 55, 57, 59, 60, 61, 62, and 74. The convenience store proposed with the first phase of development will comply with the Model Energy Code as adopted by the State of Colorado. The store will utilize double pane windows, wall and ceiling insulation, an HVAC economizer to "free cooling" air during early morning or late day operations, and/or other standard techniques. Construction is anticipated to begin in 1997. 200 to 300 people are projected to be employed in this development.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the Lincoln East P.U.D. Overall Development Plan, #40- 94B. Lincoln East P.U.D. - Overall Development Plan, #40-94B October 28, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 7 4. Transportation: The Transportation Department has reviewed the Site Access Study that was submitted with this ODP request and finds that the proposal is feasible from a transportation standpoint and meets City policies for transportation. The Site Access Study (Delich, August, 1996) that was submitted with this ODP request concluded that: ► "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 pass by traffic." ► "Based upon current traffic volumes and existing geometry/control, the Lincoln/Lemay intersection operates acceptably. With the introduction of the Phase 1 potion 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." In summary, The proposed Lincoln East ODP is feasible from a transportation standpoint and meets City policies for transportation. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS: In evaluating the request for the Lincoln East P.U.D. Overall Development Plan, staff makes the following findings of fact: ► The proposed Lincoln East P.U.D. Overall Development Plan is supported by policies 3a, 3b, 3d, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 26, 29, 39, 40, 50, 59, 60, 61, 62, and 74 of the Land Use Policies Plan (L.U.P.P.); Lincoln East P.U.D. - Overall Development Plan, #40-946 October 28, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 6 #61) Industrial development should locate within the City or consistent with the phasing plan for the urban growth area, where the proper sizing of facilities such as water, sewer, and transportation has occurred or is planned. The property is an infill site where the provision of water and sewer, light and power, street capacities, and emergency response services could be accommodated without imposing undue stress on existing systems. Also, the site accesses the future Lemay Avenue bypass which will be built with adequate capacity. The traffic study done for this proposal demonstrates that the existing capacities of the transportation network would not be exceeded. #62) Neighborhood service centers may locate in less hazardous flood plain classifications provided proper mitigation of the flood hazard is provided ... This proposal would place neighborhood services in the floodplain, provided the City's Stormwater Utility and Flood Plain Administrator find that the development plans provide for proper mitigation of the flood hazard. #74) Transitional land uses or areas should be provided between residential neighborhoods and commercial areas in order to enhance the concept of a mixture of land uses. The Andersonville Subdivision and the San Cristo P.U.D., both of which are residential developments, are located approximately five -hundred feet to the north of this site. With this ODP, these residential developments would now be located close to employment and shopping facilities. Also, this site is surrounded on three side by industrial/light industrial lands. The business service uses will provide needed goods and services to the surrounding areas, while also providing an appropriate transition to the residential areas to the north and the planned business areas to the south. Staff does not feel that the proposed ODP is inconsistent with the letter and spirit of the Land Use Policies Plan, or any of the specific policies contained therein. 3. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood meeting was held on June 13, 1996 to discuss the proposed Lincoln East Overall Development Plan. As almost all of the surrounding properties are owned by various industries and businesses, attendance was minimal. In fact, a total of four (4) affected property owners attended, and none of them voiced opposition to the proposal. In addition, a "Development Proposal Under Review" sign has been posted on the subject property for more than two months, and the Planning Department has not been made aware of any opposition to the project. The proposed uses are found to be compatible with the surrounding area. Lincoln East P.U.D. - Overall Development Plan, #40-94B October 28, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 5 #26) Availability of existing services shall be used as a criteria in determining the location of higher intensity areas in the City. The proposed ODP will be adequately serviced with water and sewer, light and power, street capacities, and emergency response services without imposing undue stress on existing systems. #29) City provided services and facilities shall be utilized as a tool to direct or discourage development in desired directions. The proposed ODP will be adequately serviced with water and sewer, light and power, street capacities, and emergency response services without imposing undue stress on existing systems. #39) The City should direct efforts to promote improved traffic and pedestrian circulation and public transit to areas north and northeast of the City. The project is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay). Also, street improvements will be subject to the new street standards, thus bike lanes and detached sidewalks will be required. #40) The City should promote the utilization of existing vacant land in the northeast ... The requested ODP proposes development in the northeast that cannot be characterized as "leapfrog" development. #50) Mass transit should be used as a tool which leads development patterns, rather than following growth. The project is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay). #59) Industrial uses may locate in less hazardous flood plain classifications provided proper mitigation of the flood hazard and water quality is preserved... This proposal would place industrial uses in the floodplain, provided the City's Stormwater Utility and Flood Plain Administrator find that the development plans provide for proper mitigation of the flood hazard and preservation of water quality. #60) Industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer the required access to the industry but will not be allowed to create demands which exceed the capacity of the existing and future transportation network of the City. The project is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay). The traffic study done for this proposal demonstrates that the existing capacities of the transportation network would not be exceeded. Lincoln East P.U.D. - Overall Development Plan, #40-9413 October 28, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 4 #3b) The City shall promote alternative transportation modes. The project is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay). Also, street improvements will be subject to the new street standards, thus bike lanes and detached sidewalks will be required. #3d) The City shall promote the location of residential development which is close to employment, recreation, and shopping facilities. The Andersonville Subdivision and the San Cristo P.U.D., both of which are residential developments, are located approximately five -hundred feet to the north of this site. With this ODP, these residential developments would now be located close to employment and shopping facilities. #14) Urban development standards shall apply to all development within the urban growth area. The new street standards will apply to this development; Water and sanitary sewer service will be provided through the existing mains adjacent to each parcel; fire hydrants and street lighting will be installed. #15) Development in the urban growth area should be consistent with development policies set forth in this plan. The explanation/discussion of this policy states that "such development should occur in a logical fashion in a manner which justifies the cost of service extensions." This development is wholly within the city limits and will be served by existing street and utility systems. #20) Land use, site planning, and urban design criteria shall ... promote pleasant, functional and understandable inter -relationships through and between land uses. This site is surrounded on three side by industrial/light industrial lands. The business service uses will provide needed goods and services to the surrounding areas, while also providing an appropriate transition to the residential areas to the north and the planned business areas to the south. Urban design criteria will be applied as individual development proposals are submitted and reviewed. #21) All levels of commercial development ... will be discouraged from gaining their primary access from College Avenue. This ODP does not, in any way, access College Avenue. #22) Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development proposals which are contiguous to existing development within the city limits or consistent with the phasing plan for the City's urban growth area. The proposed ODP is contiguous to urban development within the city limits, and will be served by existing utility and street systems. Lincoln East P.U.D. - Overall Development Plan, #40-94B October 28, 1996 P & Z Meeting Page 3 The proposed ODP's business service and auto -related uses will complement the retail shopping center anticipated to be constructed immediately south of the subject property to provide the surrounding industrial, residential, and recreational properties with a variety of goods and services not readily available at this time. The site is within walking distance of the existing transit route #8 (Vine and Lemay), and is planned in keeping with the concept of encouraging the efficient utilization of existing and proposed street and utility systems. The proposed ODP is consistent with the underlying il, Limited Industrial, zoning. Further, the proposed land uses are the same as those that were anticipated at the time of annexation. Therefore, it can logically be concluded that the Lincoln East ODP is appropriate at the proposed location. Consistency with the City's Land Use Policies Plan: The adoption of the Land Use Policies Plan was based on the Existing Land Use Report (November, 1977) that contains detailed statistics on the functional and economic uses of land within the City. The report's basic purpose was to establish an understanding of the existing pattern of land and to present an analysis of land use problems to be utilized in the land use planning process. The Land Use Policies Plan is divided into three chapters: ► Chapter I presents definitions of the terms and phrases which are commonly used in the document. ► Chapter II presents the policies of the enabling resolution and an explanation/discussion of the intent of each policy. ► Chapter III presents a listing of additional policy packages, programs, and projects, along with a schedule for completion of the items required by the policies presented in the document. The policies contained in the Land Use Policies Plan are intended to provide decision - makers with initial guidelines to evaluate land use issues in a manner which will assure a continued high quality of life in Fort Collins. The proposed Lincoln East ODP is consistent with the following land use policies: #3a) The City shall promote maximum utilization of land within the City. The Lincoln East ODP proposal would provide the surrounding industrial, residential, and recreational properties with a variety of goods and services not readily available at this time, as well as efficient utilization of existing and proposed street and utility systems.
