SUBJECT:
Larimer Center for Mental Health Transportation Impact Study
(File: 0882ME01)
The building at 125 Crestridge Street in Fort Collins is proposed to be
redeveloped as the Larimer Center for Mental Health facility. The
previous/current use for this building is the Dayspring Church. The scope of
this transportation impact study (TIS) was discussed with Joe Olson/Ward
Stanford, Fort Collins Traffic Operations on September 5, 2008. Since the trip
generation is expected to be low, a memorandum documenting compliance with the
"Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards" (LCUASS), 4.2.3D - No TIS Required
was requested.
The building size is 15,400 square feet. Using Trip Generation, 71"
Edition, ITE, as the reference document, the previous use (Church, Code 560)
would generate 137 daily trip ends, 11 morning peak hour trip ends, and 10
afternoon peak hour trip ends.
The Larimer Center for Mental Health facility will have 11,400 square feet
of office and 4,000 square feet of common area. The common area would provide
support services for clients. The current/expected number of clients is 20 per
day. The clients arrive at 9 am and leave at 5 pm. Most clients (75%) arrive by
public bus or shuttle. It is expected that the trip generation associated with
clients would be: 24 daily trip ends, 12 morning peak hour trip ends, and 12
afternoon peak hour trip ends. The General Office Land Use (Code 710) from Trip
Generation, 7th Edition, was used to calculate the expected vehicular trip
generation for the office component. The calculated trip generation is: 126
daily trip ends, 18 morning peak hour trip ends, and 17 afternoon peak hour trip
ends. The total expected trip generation for this facility would be: 150 daily
trip ends, 30 morning peak hour trip ends, and 29 afternoon peak hour trips ends.
The following addresses each of the items in LCUASS, 4.2.3D, No TIS
Required.
Vehicular Traffic: a. The trip generation in the peak hours will be less than 50
vehicles per hour; b. No new accesses are proposed; c. As a redevelopment, there
will not be more than 20 new peak hour trip ends; d. There will not be a change
in the type of traffic; e. The land use will not cause less than acceptable level
of service on the adjacent streets and intersections; f. There is no significant
accident history on nearby streets and intersections, and g. The land use
proposal will not directly access to US287 (South College Avenue).
Pedestrian Traffic: There are no pedestrian facilities in the area.
Bicycle Traffic: Bicycles currently utilize the shoulders along on College
Avenue in this area.
It is respectfully requested that no further transportation impact analyses
be required for the Larimer Center for Mental Health at 125 Crestridge Street.
