Figure 3 shows the site plan for Remington Annex Student Housing. Remington
Annex Student Housing will consist of 42 apartment units (46 beds). Access to
Remington Annex Student Housing will be via the alley to the west of the site. Trip
Generation, 8th Edition, ITE was used as the reference document in calculating the trip
generation. Persons (beds) were used as the trip generation variable. Since, this site is
close to the Colorado State University campus, a reduction (25%) was taken for the trips
that are expected to walk or bike to and from this site. Table 2 shows the trip generation
for Remington Annex Student Housing. This trip generation was discussed and agreed
to in the scoping meeting. The trip generation for Remington Annex Student Housing is
calculated at: 72 daily trip ends, 18 morning peak hour trip ends, and 15 afternoon peak
hour trip ends.
Currently there are three single family homes on the proposed Remington Annex
Student Housing site. Using the cited reference document, these existing homes
generate: 28 daily trip ends, 3 morning peak hour trip ends, and 3 afternoon peak hour
trip ends. It is expected that the proposed Remington Annex Student Housing will
generate more traffic than the existing land use.
The trip distribution for this site is shown in Figure 4. The trip distribution was
determined using the existing traffic counts, knowledge of the existing and planned
street system, development trends, and engineering judgment. Figure 5 shows the site
generated peak hour traffic assignment of the Remington Annex Student Housing.
Although, vehicles can enter the Remington Annex Student Housing site through the
Collegio access on College Avenue, in the scoping meeting, it was requested that no
site generated traffic would be assigned to the Collegio access.
Figure 6 shows the short range (2016) background peak hour traffic at the
College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington, College/Plum, and Plum/Alley
intersections. Background traffic volume forecasts for the short range (2015) future
were obtained by reviewing traffic studies for other developments in this area and
reviewing historic counts in the area. Traffic volumes were factor by 2.0 percent per
year. Table 3 shows the short range (2016) background peak hour operation at the
College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington, College/Plum, and Plum/Alley
intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix D. The key intersections will
operate acceptably with the existing control and geometry.
Figure 7 shows the short range (2016) total peak hour traffic at the
College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington, College/Plum, and Plum/Alley
intersections. Table 4 shows the short range (2016) total peak hour operation at the
College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington, College/Plum, and Plum/Alley
intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix E. The key intersections will
operate acceptably during the peak hours. Figure 8 shows the short range (2016)
geometry at the College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington, College/Plum, and
Plum/Alley intersections. This is the existing geometry at the key intersections.
The Remington Annex Student Housing site is in an area within which the City
requires pedestrian and bicycle level of service evaluations. Appendix F shows a map
of the area that is within 1320 feet of Remington Annex Student Housing. The
DELICH Remington Annex Student Housing TIS, December 2010
ASSOCIATES
Remington Annex Student Housing site is located within an area termed as “pedestrian
district,” which sets the level of service threshold at LOS A for all measured categories
except street crossing, which is B. There are four destination areas within 1320 feet of
the proposed Remington Annex Student Housing: 1) the Colorado State University
Campus area to the west of the site, 2) the residential neighborhood/commercial to the
north of the site, 3) the residential neighborhood to the east of the site, and 4) the
residential neighborhood to the south of the site. Currently there are sidewalks adjacent
to the site along Remington Street. Appendix F contains a Pedestrian LOS Worksheet.
Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, the only bicycle destination is
Colorado State University Campus. This site connects directly to bike lanes on
Remington Street and Laurel Street, which achieves level of service A.
Currently, this area is served by Transfort Route 1 and Flex. It is expected that
transit level of service will be acceptable.
It is concluded that, with development of Remington Annex Student Housing, the
future level of service at the College/Laurel, Laurel/Alley, Laurel/Remington,
College/Plum, and Plum/Alley intersections will be acceptable. The level of service for
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes will be acceptable. The Remington Annex
Student Housing can be built without additional geometry or other street improvements.
