Rh': Trip Generation for the Proposed falconer`s PMce Development -Meridian, Idaho
i)ear Laren,
Per your request, Kittelson & Associates, inc. has prepared a trip generation letterta summarize the
.estimated trip generation far the proposed development (Falconer's Place} in comparison with the
previously approved assisted living facility development. The site is located at the southeast quadrant
of the Eagle Rgad and W. Falcon. Drive intersection, and consists of approximately 4,T acres.
PROPC+SE'D DEVELOPMENT (CONDCyMINIUMS) AND GENERAL TRIP
CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed development is planned to consist of 36 condominium units. Access to the proposed
development is planned to occur via Falconer's Place and will connect to W. Falcon Drive as a stop-
controiled;intersection.
The trip generation characteristics of a condominium development typically have travel.. patterns that
occur during the morning and evening peak hours due to commuters, schools, and shopping
activities. Daily weekday and weekend Mps are less than a residential development due to the lower
number ofresidents and vehicle owners per unit (Reference 1}.
'PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT (ASSISTED LIVLNG FACILITY}AND
GENERAL TRIP CHARACTERISTICS
In .2008, this site was approved for an assisted living facility development. The assisted. living facility
was planned to consist of five buildings (15 beds in each building} and a total of 75 beds and
.clubhouse/office building. The site included 51 parking stalls for employees, customers, visitors, and
vendors (i.e., deliveries}.
The trip generation characteristics of an assisted living facility typically indudes'employees traveling.
during the morning and evening peak hours, or shift times, and vendors and visitors. arriving
throughout the day. With the vendor activity and higher number of daily deliveries and pick-ups, it
would be expected that the percentage of trucks coming to and from the assisted living facility would

be greater than a condominium development. Tfie Saturday dairy trips are typically higher than the
weekday daily trips due. to visitors and other services occurring on Saturday.
TRIP GENERATION.. ESTIMATE'.ANb COMPARISON
The projected weekday daily, a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour, and Saturday peak hour vehicle trips
for the proposed development and previously approved development were estimated based on the
Trip Generation, 9~' Edition (Reference i). Table 1 summarizes the estimated trip generation of both
uses and the anticipated change in trips with the proposed development.

As shown in Table i, the. 36 unit development is estimated to add. a low number of morning and
evening peak hour trips (5 or less) compared to the previously approved assisted living development.
During the Saturday peak hour, the proposed development is estimated to generate eight less trips
than the assisted living facility.
As mentioned. above with the trip generation characteristics, truck traffic is likely higher for an
assisted living facility than for the proposed condominium development due. to deliveries and pick
ups occurring daily. Mast of the truck traffic occurs during the weekday midday (996 truck traffic) and
Saturday midday (4% truck traffic} peak hours from'the sites surveyed. Truck traffic could increase the
noise in the area from the loading and unloading ofgoods at he assisted living facility.:
Based on our review of the site and'the estimated trip generation, the local and arterial. streets can
adequately accommodate the additional trips from the
