2019-04-09 Traffic Study Graphite Art Studios Parcel A.pdf 2813 Rockefeller Avenue  Suite B  Everett, WA 98201 Tel: 425-339-8266  Fax: 425-258-2922  E-mail: info@gibsontraffic.com MEMORANDUM To: Robert Gregg – Greg Property Associates, LLC From: Matthew Palmer, PE Project: Graphite Art Studios Parcel A, GTC #17-121 City of Edmonds Trip Generation and Mitigation Date: April 9, 2019 This memorandum summarizes the trip generation and mitigation analysis for the proposed development which will consist of 8,580 Square Feet (SF) of Artist Studio/Gallery Space and 2,540 SF of Quality Restaurant. The site is located at 202 Main Street and shares parking with Parcel B located at 117 2nd Avenue S in the City of Edmonds. Parcel A has 3 parking spaces and a loading zone while Parcel B has 22 parking spaces. Access to 9 parking spaces and the loading zone is from the alley between the two parcels while the remaining 16 parking spaces is accessed from the alley on the east side of Parcel B. The site location is shown in Figure 1 in the attachments. The site before demolition had consisted of 13,949 SF (per Snohomish County Online Property Information) of which 12,149 SF was Manufacturing and 1,800 SF Retail for Marvel Marble. Trip Generation Trip generation for the proposed land uses and the existing credit is based on data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition (2017). There is no land use identified for art studio with in ITE; however, based on conversations with the owner the activities of the site would be consistent with those of an office building (Land Use Code 710). There will be a reception area likely staffed from 10 AM to 5 PM. The gallery will be open to outside artists, there will be deliveries for supplies, and the studio space will be accessible via coded lock 24-hours a day. It was thought that each studio space could act like an individual’s office within an office building with larger spaces for meeting rooms. The restaurant will be a quality restaurant, LUC 931, which will likely be open only from 3 to 10 PM and might also open for brunch on the weekends. There is a pass-by rate of 44% associated with quality restaurant identified in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook. Credit for the existing use was based on manufacturing, LUC 140, and specialty retail, LUC 826 from the City’s 2009 Impact Fee Rate Table. The PM peak-hour trip generation is summarized in Table 1 and the trip calculations for the new uses and manufacturing are included in the attachments.

The 2019 Impact Fee Rate Table is included in the attachments to determine the new fees while credit for the removed 12,149 SF of manufacturing and 1,800 SF retail is based on the 2004 Impact Fee Rate Table and methodology for retail trip generation in the 2009 Impact Fee Rate Table as the previous use was permitted before 9/12/2004. There is no land use for the art studio; therefore, general office was utilized the same as in the trip generation. Also, there is no land use for the quality restaurant; however, there is Restaurant: sit-down. The same Trip Length Factor (0.73) was applied to the trip generation rate of 7.80 PM peak-hour trips/1,000 SF and 56% New Trips to calculate an impact fee of $17.63 per square foot for the quality restaurant. There is no land use for specialty retail in the 2004 Impact Fee Rate Table; however, there specialty retail in the 2009 Impact Fee Rate Table. The same Trip Length Factor (0.60) was applied to the trip generation rate of 2.71 PM peak-hour trips/1,000 SF and 55% New Trips to calculate an impact fee credit of $0.68 per square foot for the specialty retail based on 2004 impact fees. The traffic mitigation fee calculation for the Graphite Art Studios Parcel A is summarized in Table 2. Graphite Art Studios Parcel A Trip Generation & Mitigation Memo Gibson Traffic Consultants, Inc. April 2019 info@gibsontraffic.com 3 GTC #17-121 Table 2: Traffic Mitigation Fee Calculation Access Analysis The site will have access to the alley on the southwest side of the building in addition to the parking garage in Parcel B having access to the alley along the east side of the building. That alley along the southwest side of the building connects to 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue, from there it’s anticipated there will be less than 10 new PM peak-hour trips at any of the City intersections. Summary/Conclusions The redevelopment of the site would generate 7.94 new PM peak hour trips. The site has access to the adjacent alleys and would not be anticipated to impact any critical intersection with 10 new PM peak- hour trips; therefore, off-site mitigation should not be required. With the credit for the previously permitted uses the traffic mitigation fee would be $126,058.30.

A. If in the judgment of the director, none of the fee categories or fee amounts set forth in ECC 3.36.120 and/or 3.36.125 accurately describe or capture the impacts of a new development on parks and/or streets, the department may ask the applicant to conduct independent fee calculations and the director may impose alternative fees on a specific development based on those calculations. The alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be agreed to by the director and the feepayer. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. B. Any feepayer submitting an independent fee calculation will be required to pay the city of Edmonds a fee to cover the cost of reviewing the independent fee calculation. A fee is required by the city for conducting the review of the independent fee calculation plus the actual cost of outside consultant review if required by the city, unless otherwise established by the director, and shall be paid by the feepayer prior to initiation of review. C. While there is a presumption that the calculations set forth in the rate study are valid, the director shall consider the documentation submitted by the feepayer, but is not required to accept such documentation or analysis which the director reasonably deems to be inaccurate or not reliable, and may, in the alternative, require the feepayer to submit additional or different documentation for consideration. The director is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case- by-case basis based on the independent fee calculation, the specific characteristics of the development, and/or principles of fairness. The fees or alternative fees and the calculations shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer. D. Determinations made by the director pursuant to this section may be appealed to the office of the hearing examiner as set forth in ECC 3.36.070. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. 3.36.140 Existing authority unimpaired. Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the city from requiring the feepayer or the proponent of a development activity to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of a specific development pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, based on the environmental documents accompanying the underlying development approval process, and/or Chapter 58.17 RCW, governing plats and subdivisions; provided, that the exercise of this authority is consistent with the provisions of Chapters 43.21C and 82.02 RCW. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. 3.36.150 Procedures guide. The director is authorized to develop a procedures guide to facilitate the city’s administration and enforcement of this chapter. The procedures guide shall be consistent with the provisions of this chapter, shall be for the sole convenience of the city, and shall not vest any rights in or for any other person. [Ord. 4037 § 1 (Att. A), 2016; Ord. 3934 § 1 (Exh. A), 2013]. 3.36.160 Deferral system for single-family residences. A. An applicant for a building permit for a single-family detached or attached residence may request a deferral of the full impact fee payment until final inspection. The building official may withhold certification of final inspection until the impact fees have been paid in full. B. The amount of impact fees that may be deferred under this section must be determined by the fees in effect at the time the applicant applies for a deferral. C. The term of an impact fee deferral under this section may not exceed 18 months from the date of building permit issuance.
