Traffic Impact Statement Dated 10 14 25

TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPOSED USE Traffic projections for the proposed grocery store were prepared using data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) within the Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Specifically, ITE Land Use Code 850: “Supermarket” was used to develop the peak hour trip generation projections. Table I summarizes the peak hour trip generation estimates using the ITE trip rates and was conservatively based on the entire building area (including the partial second floor – though such would not be accessible to customers nor display area for merchandise). The trip generation calculations are appended.

Table II below compares the existing site uses with the proposed grocery store use. ITE Land Use Code 880: “Pharmacy/Drugstore without Drive-Through Window” and ITE Land Use Code 932: “High-Turnover (Sit-Down) Restaurant” were used to develop the peak hour trip generation projections for the existing uses.

Proposed Grocery store 33 23 56 88 89 177 100 99 199 Difference +6 +6 +12 +41 +43 +84 +42 +41 +82 The net traffic increase of at most approximately 42 vehicles per hour (slightly less than one vehicle every minute) would have minimal impact on external traffic conditions. Additionally, a portion of the evening site generated traffic will be pass-by traffic that is already on the local roadways (currently going to other stores), further lessening the projected traffic impacts.
