DELICH 3350 Eastbrook Drive Trip Generation Analysis, March 2023 ASSOCIATES
Information was provided by Bohlender to determine the number of trips the
funeral home and crematory will generate. From January 1, 2022 through September
27, 2022, Bohlender Funeral Chapel provided service for 350 decedents. Using a
proportional relationship, that results in approximately 470 decedent per year or 1.3 per
day (470/365). Bohlender uses a mini van, kept on-site, to transport the deceased back to
the funeral home from their place of death. Approximately half of the removals occur
overnight or after business hours. Therefore, it is assumed that 2 daily trip ends and no
peak hour trip ends are associated with transporting of the deceased. Approximately 75
percent of decedents are cremated on site. That equates to approximately one decedent
per day [(470)*(.75)/365]. Families meet at the site 2-3 times during the cremation
process. Therefore, it is assumed that there are 6 daily trip ends [(one decedent per
day)(3 visits)(2 trip ends)] associated with the cremation process. It is assumed that one
entering trip may occur in the morning peak hour and one existing trip may occur in the
afternoon peak hour.
Information provided by Bohlender was used to determine the number of trips
associated with the chapel. Of the 350 decedents, 215 did not have a funeral service and
135 did have a service. Ninety-Nine of those services were off-site (Church, private home,
cemetery) and 36 services were at the Bohlender Funeral Chapel. This equates to
approximately 50 services per year (36/0.75). Visitations of the deceased do/will occur
within the funeral chapel. There were from 5 to 75 people in attendance. About seventy-
five percent of services occur on weekdays between 10 am and 3 pm. Therefore, they will
not occur during the school peak hours (Fort Collins High School). Thirty percent of the
services had up to 75 people in attendance and seventy percent had ≤50 people in
attendance. Using the Fort Collins Land Use Code of one parking space per four seats for
an assembly, a service of 50-75 people will have 13-19 additional vehicles (26-38 daily trip
ends). This is assumed as a typical service to determine average daily traffic.
Table 2 shows the trip generation based on the above discussion. The proposed
trip generation for the uses at 3350 Eastbrook Drive is: 206 daily trip ends, 20 morning
peak hour trip ends, and 26 afternoon peak hour trip ends. This is a decrease of 62
daily trip ends, 11 morning peak hour trip ends, and 15 afternoon peak hour trip ends
compared to the current office use.
The 3350 Eastbrook Drive site currently has 41 parking spaces on-site. Two
additional parking spaces will be added north of the garage, for a total of 43 parking
spaces on-site. According to the Fort Collins Land Use Code, there are 10 parking
spaces required for the office and funeral home office uses. Therefore, there would be
33 parking spaces available on-site for the chapel (assembly) use (43 minus 10).
Using the data above, all services at the existing site have had 75 people or less.
The Fort Collins Land Use Code requires one parking space per 4 seats which equates
to 4 persons/vehicle. Based on an estimated 4 persons/vehicle, a service of 75 people
would need to accommodate 19 vehicles (75 people)/(4 persons/vehicle). This can be
accomplished using the on-site parking spaces.
DELICH 3350 Eastbrook Drive Trip Generation Analysis, March 2023 ASSOCIATES
A large service of 200 people would need parking to accommodate 50 vehicles
(200 people)/(4 persons/vehicle). During the weekday, there would be 33 on-site
parking spaces available for services. During the weekend, when the office is not in
use, there would be 43 on-site parking spaces available. The remainder would have to
find on-street parking in the surrounding area.
From the foregoing analyses, it is concluded that the trip generation for the
proposed land uses at 3350 Eastbrook Drive will be less than the 500 daily trip ends
and 50 peak hour trip ends. The daily and peak hour trip generation would be similar as
the existing use. The 3350 Eastbrook Drive site can accommodate services of 75
people or less using the on-site parking spaces. Large services of up to 200 people
would need find on-street parking in the surrounding area. Therefore, it is respectfully
requested that no further transportation analyses be required for the proposed uses at
3350 Eastbrook Drive. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or desire
additional information.
