PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS TRIP GENERATION Site-generated peak hour traffic volumes for the existing and proposed conditions have been calculated using data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the 12th edition of Trip Generation and data published by NJDOT in their Highway Access Permit Software (HAPS). NJDOT has adopted 10th edition ITE rates and equations in HAPS for many land uses, including ITE Land Use Code 820: "Shopping Center." Shopping centers are a type of "multi-use" development, where internal trip-making between different tenants in the center is reflected in the data. Table 1 presents the peak hour HAPS trip generation, per the NJDOT's latest April 21, 2023, version, comparing the existing 32,441 square foot shopping center and proposed 32,441 square foot shopping center.

Floor area is the independent variable in the Land Use Code 820 trip generation calculations; therefore, as floor area would not be changed by the project, no additional peak hour trips area calculated. An increase of fewer than 100 peak hour trips is not considered "significant" by NJDOT, and the proposed project is not expected to result in ANY Proposed Retail Store, West Orange, New Jersey -6-
