"Trip generation numbers are derived from the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation manual, 6th Edition. Based on a proposed 550 unit development, there would be 5,264 trips generated by this project full build out (2012) based on an average of 9.57 daily trips per dwelling unit. The applicant anticipates that the trip generation from the non-residential development on the site will be minimal due to internal capture. A preliminary traffic study has been submitted to the Department of Public Works and their comments may be found under the Agency Comments' section of the staff report.

Note: The existing traffic count does not include trip reservations for development approved but not yet built and it does not constitute a concurrency determination. Any proposed development must meet the concurrency standards adopted in the Alachua County Code at the time of site plan approval. The projected AADT that will be used for the concurrency determination is based on counts and reserved trips calculated at the time of site plan application, not on the numbers reported above. Significantly fewer trips may be available depending on the reserved trips and the intensity and level of development in the area.

Given current development patterns. it must be noted that any available capacity may be consumed in the near future."
