MEMORANDUM
To: Robert Gregg – Greg Property Associates, LLC
From: Matthew Palmer, PE
Project: Graphite Art Studios Parcel B, 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 2,400 SF of fitness studio, 1,300 Square Feet (SF) of Artist
Studio/Gallery Space, and 7 apartment units. The site is located at 117 2nd Avenue S and shares
parking with Parcel A located at 202 Main Street in the City of Edmonds. Parcel B has 22 parking
spaces and Parcel A has 3 parking spaces and a loading zone. 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 is currently vacant.
Trip Generation
Trip generation for the proposed land uses 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
deliveries for supplies and the studio space will be accessible via coded lock 24-hours a day. It was
thought that the studio space could act like an office buildings larger spaces for meeting rooms.
LUC 492, health/fitness club, was used for the fitness studio and LUC 221, multifamily low-rise,
was used for the apartments. The PM peak-hour trip generation is summarized in Table 1 and the
trip calculations for the new uses.

Table 1: PM Peak Trip Generation Summary
Land Use Variable
PM Peak-Hour
Inbound Outbound Total
Fitness Studio 2,400 SF 4.72 3.56 8.28
General Office/Art Studio 1,300 SF 0.24 1.26 1.50
Apartments 7 Units 2.47 1.45 3.92
TOTAL --- 7.43 6.27 13.70
Mitigation Fees
The applicable traffic mitigation fees are from City of Edmonds Code Section 3.36. The 2019
Impact Fee Rate Table is included in the attachments to determine the new fees. There is no land
use for the art studio; therefore, general office was utilized the same as in the trip generation. The
traffic mitigation fee calculation for the Graphite Art Studios Parcel B is summarized in Table 2.
Table 2: Traffic Mitigation Fee Calculation
Access Analysis
The site will have access to the alley on the northeast side of the building and the alley along the
east side of the building for the parking garage. The alley along the northeast side of the Parcel B
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.
Land Use Number of
Units Impact Fee per Unit Total
Health/Fitness 2,400 SF $14.66 per square foot $35,184.00
General Office 1,300 SF $10.89 per square foot $14,157.00
Apartments 7 Units $4,092.36 per unit $28,646.52
Total --- --- $77,987.52

Summary/Conclusions
The redevelopment of the site would generate 13.70 new PM peak hour trips. The site has access to
two 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. Based on the City of Edmonds
adopted mitigation fees for 2019 and beyond the traffic mitigation fee would be $77,987.52.

3.36.130 Independent fee calculations.
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.
