1 April 5, 203 Drs. George Barlas, Marc Beaupre, John Kokkinakis, Pierre Maranger Place D Orleans Dental Office 0 Place D Orleans Drive Orleans, Ontario KC 2L9 Dear Dr. Barlas, Dr. Beaupre, Dr. Kokkinakis, and Dr. Maranger: Re: Traffic Memo Dental Clinic 302 St. Joseph Blvd. Orleans, Ontario Please find attached a copy of our Traffic Memo for the proposed dental clinic at 302 St. Joseph Blvd. Based on the City s original understanding of the undertaking, a Transportation Brief was requested. However, through on-going discussions with City staff representatives, it was confirmed that a Traffic Memo would be sufficient to satisfy the traffic requirements for the site plan submission. This conclusion reflects the following: The proposed dental clinic will replace an existing restaurant at 302 St. Joseph Boulevard. The intent is to expand the existing single storey building by adding a second floor. The ground floor would be used as a dental clinic, and the upper floor would be rented out as office space. Given the above development characteristics, the expected trip generation is less than the 75 vph threshold which would trigger the need for a Transportation Brief. The attached memo summarizes the trip generation analysis and also provides an overview of the parking requirements associated with the new development. If you have any questions regarding this memo, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Yours truly, Morrison Hershfield Limited Jennifer Armstrong, Ph.D., P.Eng.

2 MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. George Barlas, Dr. Marc Beaupre, Dr. John Kokkinakis, and Dr. Pierre Maranger ACTION BY: FROM: Jennifer Armstrong, P.Eng. FOR INFO OF: PLEASE RESPOND BY: PROJECT No.: RE: Dental Clinic 302 St. Joseph Blvd, Orleans, Ontario Traffic Review DATE: April 5, 203 This memorandum provides an overview of the trip generation potential and parking requirements for the proposed dental clinic at 302 St. Joseph Blvd in Orleans, Ontario. Based on our review of the trip generation characteristics of the new development, no traffic impact assessment is required. This conclusion is based on Table 4 of the City of Ottawa s Traffic Impact Assessment Guidelines, as the net trip generation for the dental clinic is expected to be considerably less than the 75 vph threshold which would trigger the need for a Transportation Brief. Additional details are provided below. Note: This assessment has been based on the site plan provided by Rickson Outhet Architects dated April, 203. Should this site plan be modified in any material way, the calculations contained herein may need to be revisited. Development Characteristics The proposed development is located at 302 St. Joseph Boulevard, across from the Place d Orleans Shopping Centre in Orleans, Ontario.

3 - 2 - Currently, the site is occupied by the Ruby King Restaurant, a Chinese buffet. Re-development plans for the site would see the existing single storey restaurant replaced with a two-story building. The ground floor of the building would serve as a dental clinic, while the upper floor would be rented out as office space. The characteristics of the existing and proposed buildings are provided in Table below. The site plan for the proposed development is provided in Attachment. Table Existing & Proposed Development Characteristics Existing Use (to be replaced) Proposed Use Building Use Restaurant Dental Clinic + Office Space Building Size Basement 220 m 2 (2,368 sq. ft.) 220 m 2 (2,368 sq. ft.) Ground Floor 660 m 2 (7,04 sq. ft.) 660 m 2 (7,04 sq. ft.) Second Floor m 2 (6,35 sq. ft.) Total Gross Floor Area 880 m 2 (9,472 sq. ft.),450 m 2 (5,608 sq. ft.) Trip Generation Potential The number of trips generated by the existing and proposed developments was estimated using trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation manual, 8 th Edition. All trip rates are based on the gross floor area (GFA) of the development (which includes the basement area), and correspond to the morning and afternoon peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. As noted above, the current land use at the site is a single story restaurant, which for the purposes of the trip generation analysis, was classified as a Quality Restaurant (Land Use Code 93) in the ITE Trip Generation manual. The trip generation rates for the restaurant are shown below in Table 2. Table 2 Trip Generation for Existing Restaurant Quality Restaurant Land Use Code 93 AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Average Trip Rate 0.8 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA 7.49 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA Based on data for the AM peak hour of the generator % Inbound Trips Development Size Trips Generated Total Inbound Outbound 82% 9,472 sq. ft % 9,472 sq. ft The proposed development will consist of a two story building with a dental clinic on the ground floor. As no tenant has been identified for the upper floor, two scenarios were considered: The upper floor serves as general office space The upper floor supports office uses related to the dental clinic The trip generation rates associated with these two types of land uses are provided in Table 3.

4 - 3 - Table 3 Trip Generation Rates for Proposed Development Medical-Dental Office Building Land Use Code 720 General Office Building Land Use Code 70 Average Trip Rate % Inbound Trips Average Trip Rate % Inbound Trips AM Peak Hour 2.30 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA 79%.55 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA (See Note 2) 88% PM Peak Hour 3.46 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA (See Note ) 27%.49 trips per 000 sq. ft. GFA (See Note 2) The ITE Trip Generation Manual also shows a fitted curve for the PM case. For a Gross Floor Area of 5,608 sq. ft., the average rate gives a trip generation of 54 trips; the equation gives a trip generation of 55 trips. Since the two values are essentially the same, the average rate is shown in the tables. 2 The ITE Trip Generation Manual also shows a fitted curve for the AM & PM cases. However, the fitted curves are based on data points corresponding to an average development size of roughly 220,000 sq.ft. (i.e. much larger than the proposed development). As a result, the fitted curves are not considered to be applicable for the development under consideration. Taking a conservative approach, it was assumed that the entire new development would fall under the category of a medical-dental office building for the purposes of trip generation. The corresponding trips are shown in Table 4.

This table shows the trip generation associated with the proposed dental clinic and office development minus the trip generation for the restaurant use which is being replaced.

5 - 4 - Table 5 Net Traffic Impact AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Trips Generated by Existing Restaurant (to be replaced) Trips Generated by Proposed Dental Clinic Net Traffic Impact Total In Out Total In Out Total In Out Given the above calculations, the following conclusions can be drawn: The total trip generation associated with the new development is less than 75 vph (i.e. 36 vph in the AM peak hour, and 54 vph in the PM peak hour). These results do not reflect the impact of the adjacent Place d Orleans rapid transit station, which may result in a higher transit modal split to the new development than reflected in the ITE trip generation rates. The net trip generation associated with the new development is considerably less than 75 vph (i.e. 28 additional trips in the AM peak hour and 7 fewer trips in the PM peak hour, compared to existing conditions) As a result, the traffic impacts associated with this development are expected to be minor, and no Transportation Brief or Traffic Impact Assessment is required based on the City s Transportation Impact Assessment Guidelines. Parking Requirements The subject property is zoned as an Arterial Mainstreet in the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law , and is located within 600 m of a rapid transit station. Minimum and maximum parking requirements as per Part 4 of the Zoning By-law are provided in Table 6 below.
