4 Southwest corner of Lake Worth Road and Polo Road Project No Page3 1.0 SITE DATA The subject parcel is located on the southwest corner of Lake Worth Road and Polo Road in Palm Beach County, Florida and contains approximately acres. The Property Control Number (PCN) for the subject parcel is The property is currently designated as Commercial High with underlying Low Residential, 2 dwelling units per acre (CH/2) on the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. The property owner is requesting a change in the parcel's underlying future land use designation to Medium Residential, 5 dwelling units per acre (CH/5). The purpose of this statement is to determine the total traffic volume which will be on each roadway link within the site radius of development influence for the Interim Transportation Plan. This statement will also identify which roadway links (if any) will exceed the adopted Level of Service volume for the subject links addressed within the project's radius of development influence. 2.0 TRAFFIC GENERATION The increase in daily traffic generation due to the requested change in the acres parcels' land use designation may be determined by taking the difference between the total traffic generated for the most intensive land use under both the existing CH with underlying LR-2 future land use designation and the proposed underlying MR-5 future land use designation: CH/2 The most intensive land use under the existing CH/2 land use designation is "General Commercial". Based on a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 50 percent and the site area consisting of acres, the maximum allowable non-residential building square footage under the existing CH/2 land use designation is 806,513 SF calculated as follows: Acre x 43,560 SF x 0.50 = 806,513 SF Acre The above calculation is shown for informational purposes only and represents the most intense non-residential building square footage calculation for the existing CH future land use designation. The density/traffic associated with the existing residential underlying land use designation may be calculated as follows: Acre x 2 Dwelling Units = 74 Dwelling Units Acre Single Family Detached (74 DU) Table 1 calculates the daily traffic generation, AM peak hour traffic generation, and PM peak hour traffic generation for the property under the existing CH/2 land use designation. The traffic generation has been calculated in accordance with the traffic generation rates listed in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The following summarizes the traffic

5 Southwest corner of Lake Worth Road and Polo Road Project No Page4 2.0 TRAFFIC GENERATION (CONTINUED) generation associated with a development consisting of 7 4 single family dwelling units: Daily Traffic Generation = AM Peak Hour Traffic Generation (In/Out) = PM Peak Hour Traffic Generation (In/Out) = 740tpd 56 pht (14 ln/42 Out) 80 pht (50 ln/30 Out) CH/5 The density/traffic associated with the proposed MR-5 residential underlying land use designation may be calculated as follows: Acre x 5 Dwelling Units Acre = 185 Dwelling Units Multi-Family Apartments (185 DU) Table 2 calculates the daily traffic generation, AM peak hour traffic generation, and PM peak hour traffic generation for the property under the proposed CH/5 land use designation. The traffic generation has been calculated in accordance with the traffic generation rates listed in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. The following summarizes the traffic generation associated with a development consisting of 185 apartment dwelling units: Daily Traffic Generation = 1,230 tpd AM Peak Hour Traffic Generation (In/Out) 94 pht (19 ln/75 Out) PM Peak Hour Traffic Generation (In/Out) = 115 pht (75 ln/40 Out) The increase in daily traffic generation due to the requested change in the parcels' underlying land use designations may be calculated as follows: Daily Traffic Generation = AM Peak Hour Traffic Generation = PM Peak Hour Traffic Generation = 490 tpd INCREASE 38 pht INCREASE 35 pht INCREASE 3.0 RADIUS OF DEVELOPMENT INFLUENCE Based on Table of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan for a total trip generation increase of 490 trips per day, the radius of development influence determining Year 2040 significant impact shall be the directly accessed link on the first accessed major thoroughfare. Based on Table 12.B.2.D-7 3A of Article 12 of the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, for a peak hour trip generation of 115 peak hour trips, the radius of development influence for purposes of Test 2 shall be two (2) miles.

6 Southwest corner of Lake Worth Road and Polo Road ProjectNo Page TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT/DISTRIBUTION Figure 1 shows the trip distribution, which is based on the current and projected roadway geometry, a review of historical travel patterns for the area, and anticipated travel patterns associated with probable land uses under the proposed CHI5 land use designation. 5.0 YEAR 2040 ANALYSIS Table 3 represents the required Year 2040 Analysis. The total anticipated Year 2040 traffic meets the adopted Level of Service requirements within the project's radius of influence. Therefore, the proposed land use change meets the Year 2040 requirements of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan. 6.0 TEST 2 - FIVE YEAR ANALYSIS Tables 4 and 5 represent the required Test 2 Five Year Analysis. As shown in Tables 4 and 5, all roadway links are insignificant. Therefore, the proposed land use change meets the requirements of Test 2 of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. 7.0 PEAK HOUR TURNING MOVEMENTS The total AM and PM peak hour turning movements for the project under the proposed CHI5 land use designation have been calculated in Table 2 in order to assess the improvements necessary to accommodate such traffic movements. The AM and PM peak hour turning movement volumes and directional distributions for the proposed CHI5 land use designation may be summarized as follows: Directional Distribution (Trips IN/OUT) AM Peak Hour = PM Peak Hour = 19 I I 40 Based on the peak hour volumes shown above and the Palm Beach County Engineering Guideline used in determining the need for turn lanes of 75 right turns or 30 left turns in the peak hour, additional turn lanes may be warranted. 7.0 PEAK HOUR TURNING MOVEMENTS (CONTINUED) The need for turn lanes or access modifications will be reevaluated following the submittal of a site specific development order and site plan.

7 Southwest corner of Lake Worth Road and Polo Road Project No Page CONCLUSION As previously mentioned, this proposed future land use plan designation modification will result in an increase in intensity of development from the current future land use designation and will not significantly impact any roadway segment that is projected to be operating above the adopted Level of Service on the Year 2040 Transportation System Plan. Additionally, all roadway links meet the requirements of the Test 2 analysis. Therefore, this land use plan amendment is in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Element. AL: x:/docs/trafficdrainage/lupats
