additional peak hour trips. It can therefore be concluded that the proposed project will NOT have an impact on area traffic. As the proposed project would not modify the State highway driveways, would not reduce non-State highway access, and would not result in a significant increase in traffic, a new NJDOT Access Permit is not required. TPD requested NJDOT concurrence with our findings, and the Department issued a Letter of No Interest (LONI), dated September 18, 2025. A copy of the LONI is provided in the Appendix. FURTHER CONSIDERATION For comparison, TPD considered trip generation of the specific use change proposed. Note: ITE recommends against calculating trip generation of multi-tenant retail developments on the basis of the individual tenant uses, as this type of calculation does not take internal capture into account. Table 2, below, presents the peak hour HAPS trip generation, comparing the pre-existing 16,367 square foot Metropolitan Plant Exchange and 2,400 square foot No Limits Martial Arts with the proposed 18,767 square foot retail store, assumed to be a supermarket. Specifically, a change from Land Use Codes 817: "Nursery (Garden Center)" and 495: "Recreational Community Center" to Land Use Code 850: "Supermarket" was evaluated.
