I have reviewed the information from the City of Edmonds and believe they are applying
the wrong ITE Land Use Code to the Sub Shop, Their mitigation fee table is based on. data
from 2003 and does not include every land use code. This type of restaurant, especially
when part of a larger retail center, is typically part of ITE Land Use Code 814 (specialty
retail) or ITE Land Use Code 820 (shopping center). Both of these uses have lower trip
generation rates than ITE Land Use Code 832, which is now ITE Land Use Code 932 (high -
turnover sit-down restaurant) in the most recent lTE trip generation data. It should also be
noted that ITE Land use Code 814 has a lower PM peak -hour trip generation rate than ITE
Land Use Code 820 (the mitigation fees are based on the PM peak -hour trip generation
rates).
I have included the description for ITE Land Use Code 932, which does not correlate to a
Sub Shop type restaurant. The description for ITE Land Use Code 932 indicates a high -
turnover sit-down restaurant as one where "[pJatrons commonly wait to be seated, are
served by a waiter/waitress, order :from menus and pay for their meal after they eat." This
does not reflect the operation of a Sub Shop restaurant. The description for 932 is
consistent with an Applebee's, Chili's or Red Robin type of restaurant, which is clearly
different that a Sub Shop, The descriptions for ITE Land Use Code 814 and 820 both
include the possibility of restaurants (814 actually says small restaurants).
The existing use was most likely part of a larger development and was likely identified as
ITE Land Use Code 814 or 820 (that is the standard procedure for a strip mall or shopping
center). Since the existing use and proposed use are both acceptable uses under code 820,

the change in use should not require the payment of additional traffic mitigation fees.

G. LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Summarize Level of Service Analysis below and attach supporting LOS analysis documentation. Provide
the following documentation for each arterial street or arterial intersection impacted by ten or more peak -

7. MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
State recommended measures and fees required to mitigate project specific traffic impacts. Traffic impact
fee shall be calculated from the Edmonds Road Impact Fee Rate Study Table 4 (attached) and as identified
in ECDC 18.82. 120, except as otherwise provided for independent fide calculations in ECDC 18.82,130.
