Cascade Christian School (CCS) Traffic Analysis Comments.
Queueing:
With the proposed Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval, campus will be allowed to operate at a maximum student capacity of 1,341 students, compared to the present 925 students. To adequately mitigate traffic queuing impacts the following countermeasures and conditions are required:
With utilization of only the existing drop off / pick up location on 21st St SE, students will be capped at 1,065, which is a 15% increase over the present 925 students (vested capacity).
CCS has implemented numerous countermeasures to help mitigate congestion. These have been helpful and such efforts must continue to be put into place, and further refined and improved. Examples include:
-CCS personnel assisting motorist on-site to improve efficiency.
-Optimization of on-site routing and pick-up/drop-off locations
-Staggering start and end times of secondary school and elementary school
-Training for CCS staff to streamline pick-up/drop-off procedures.
-Continue to refine and modify on-site routing configurations.
-Continue to refine and modify in-bound/out-bound channelization.
-Consider Off-site van or bus service to shuttle students on/off campus
-Implement other strategies to enhance efficiency.
Approximately 6 months from final installation of the portables to be allowed by the CUP approval, a meeting will be held on site while school is in session at CCS with City staff to observe drop off / pick up procedures and functional operation.
Prior to the submittal of any new/future permit, development application, Conditional Use Permit application or modifications as part of the CCS campus (including properties owned by Friends of CCS), CCS will be required to evaluate operational issues caused by excessive queuing along 21st Street SE. If the existing congestion on 21st Street SE has not been substantially mitigated by the countermeasures listed above, the applicant will be required to construct a secondary access and queuing area from 25th Street SE or equivalent capacity improvement. Alternatively, if student enrollment exceeds 1,065 students, up to a maximum of 1,341 students, an alternate access and queuing area from 25th Street SE or equivalent capacity improvement will be required. The alternative access and queuing area (adjacent to 25th Street SE) is expected to be paved and must meet City engineering standards. Additionally, a traffic analysis will be required during the preliminary review of the access on 25th Street NW.
Trip Generation/Traffic Impact Fee (TIF):
Student enrollment is directly related to vehicle trip generation and therefore directly associated with traffic impacts. This campus is presently vested to 925 students. Currently, the site is exceeding vested capacity, as right now there are 995 students at Cascade Christian School (CCS).
-Update traffic scoping document to reflect the increase in vested student capacity with CUP approval (925 to 1341).
-Based on data collected for this site, the CCS campus has a vehicle trip generation ~60% higher than published ITE data during the PM peak hour. For traffic impact fee assessment, it is acceptable to use the significantly lower trip generation rate (City code requires TIF calculation to cite ITE data). Note that this results in a TIF amount of $198,900 vs $315,900, a significant reduction.
-Note that TIF will be (260 additional student capacity)*0.17 = 70.7*$4500 = $318,150 traffic impact fees. The TIF must be paid on the new proposed CUP 1,341 student capacity.
Delay analysis:
The multiperiod delay analysis on 21st Street does not accurately represent existing conditions and does not correlate with City LOS thresholds. Actual delay for motorists queuing on 21st (and side streets) is extensive. Please coordinate with City staff on how to modify or possibly remove analysis of 21st Street.
Autoturn:
Submit a campus wide AutoTurn analysis showing feasibility of proposed circulation designs. Coordinate with City fire on scope and fire apparatus design.
Previous comments which were not addressed in this submittal of the TIA:
Previous comment: Based on previous coordination with Cascade Christian staff & concerns from the public, the design team shall provide a detailed evaluation for the implementation of a reduced speed school zone on 21st Street SE.
The comment response stated: “Please review traffic report for alternatives to calming”. The submitted traffic analysis did not address this comment.
Previous comment: Consistent with previous CUP, volumes and speeds were collected on 21st Street SE to evaluate necessary traffic calming measures (85th percentile speeds were previously observed to be 33.6 mph). Design team to evaluate the effectiveness of existing traffic calming measures. Based on the anticipated increase in vehicle trips associated with this project, additional traffic calming measures may be necessary.
The Comment response stated: “Please review traffic report for alternatives to calming” The submitted traffic analysis did not address this comment.
Previous comment: Submit sight distance analysis of the proposed driveways. Please provide photo documentation within the report of the sight distance analysis. The photo must show the location of the sight distance standard in the picture as well as the location of the viewer. If photo cannot be provided, plan sheets with plan and profile within the report can also provide the sight distance documentation. If this method is used, place the distance requirements as met on those documents and provide this information within the appendix of the report.
Comment response stated: “Provided in Traffic Report.” The submitted traffic analysis did not address this comment.
The following statements will be included as CUP conditions of approval:
Traffic Impact fees (TIF) will be assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.10. Impact fees are subject to change and are adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall pay the proportionate impact fees adopted at the time of building permit application. The TIF will be paid to the 1341 student limit allowed with the approval of the CUP.
Depending on building valuation thresholds defined within Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135 the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half- street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced.
Previous conditions identified with previous CUP (PLSSP20230073) are expired and are not relevant to the current proposal.
During civil review applicant shall evaluate existing frontage for compliance with current ADA/City Standards.
The site design must provide ADA compliant internal sidewalks/pedestrian pathways that connect to all public access points/sidewalks.
To mitigate public concerns related to parking availability for sporting events, Cascade Christian must keep on-site parking lot open and available to the public when events are hosted on-site. On-street parking options are very limited in this area.

___________________
The city has received a number of comments relating to traffic congestion during pick-up and drop-off times at the existing school site. Specifically, the residents in the neighborhood are concerned that increasing the number of students will only increase the parents use of the neighborhood driveways and yards for student pick-up and drop-off. To ensure that this issue is adequately addressed, staff will need to compare the existing site queuing to the proposed site queuing. As such, we will need the project team to describe the existing queuing routes thorough the site, the proposed queuing routes through the site, and a narrative describing how the proposed queuing and mitigation measures will improve the existing queuing issues. Please note that the current queuing drawings do not provide a clear fire lane, the drawings will need to be updated to show how a clear fire lane will be maintained during student drop-off and pick-up queuing. Lastly, staff will need a narrative describing how the proposed queuing and mitigation measures will be an improvement over the existing conditions.
Summary Of Documents Needed:
-Current Queuing Site Plan with a clear fire lane
-Proposed Queuing Site Plan with a clear fire lane
-Narrative (memo) comparing the existing and proposed queuing conditions.

Add Submittal Item: Tree Risk Assessment for Significant Trees
Comment outstanding 12/17/24:
- The site plan provided in the arborist report is unclear; what does "NO" mean? Please update and clarify.
___________________________
Additional Submittal Item Required: Existing trees on the site which are larger than 15” in Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) are considered to be ‘significant trees’ and must be retained, where possible. If your site includes any significant trees, then you must include a tree risk assessment completed by a certified arborist and provided with your land use application and civil construction permit landscape plan. Any significant trees healthy enough to be retained in planned or required landscape areas shall be retained and shown on the landscape plans. See Vegetation Management Standards Plan Page 19 for criteria for significant tree retention. The arborist report should include a statement if it would be possible to retain any significant trees within the 30-foot buffer with the proposed rain garden.

- Parking -
Please provide a parking sheet as part of the CUP application that includes the following:
- Provide the current parking count
- Provide the number of required stalls for the classrooms and office space (PMC 20.55.010 outlines parking ratios for elementary, junior high, high school, and offices in the exisitng square footage as well as the proposed portables)
- Provide the number of required stalls for the auditorium(s)
We will require the amount of parking for the use that requires the most stalls, not the total sum. E.g. - If the total required number of stalls for the auditorium exceeds the total number of stalls required for the combination of elementary, junior high, high school, and offices, then we would only require that there be enough parking stalls to park the auditorium and vice versa.
___________________________
(27) Public and private educational institutions, including schools and classroom facilities associated with churches, as follows:
(a) Elementary and junior high level schools shall provide one and one-half spaces for each classroom plus one space for each 300 square feet of office space. Paved playground area available for parking may be used to satisfy additional school auditorium parking requirements.
(b) High schools shall provide one space for each 65 square feet of classroom space, plus one space for each 300 square feet of office space.
____________________________

1. Considering traffic is one way in one way out and not like a normal fire lane how will the traffic queuing work? We have to have full site access and can not have both lanes being blocked in one direction. There needs to be free flowing movement onsite. Dropoff and pickup need designated locations throughout the campus. The proposed site plan does not provide access to all structures with the known factor of traffic backing up.
2. Where the two portables are going in the South East corner, a plan was already decided by everyone that the parking island and stall needed to be removed because an Auto-turn could not be performed properly. Implement the previous agreement into this site plan for code compliance.
3. Provide a full auto-turn of the whole campus for review. Consideration needs to be taken for drop off and pickup areas. If the fire apparatus can not traverse the site with traffic it will not be accepted.
4. Provide a full fire lane dimensioned site plan. The new parallel parking on the southside of the gym looks to be encroaching into the fire lane.
5. Once approved, all fire lane / stripping / No parking signage will need to be maintained and updated throughout campus.

Cascade Christian School (CCS) Traffic Analysis Comments.
Queueing:
With the proposed Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval, campus will be allowed to operate at a maximum student capacity of 1,341 students, compared to the present 925 students. To adequately mitigate traffic queuing impacts the following countermeasures and conditions are required:
With utilization of only the existing drop off / pick up location on 21st St SE, students will be capped at 1,065, which is a 15% increase over the present 925 students (vested capacity).
CCS has implemented numerous countermeasures to help mitigate congestion. These have been helpful and such efforts must continue to be put into place, and further refined and improved. Examples include:
-CCS personnel assisting motorist on-site to improve efficiency.
-Optimization of on-site routing and pick-up/drop-off locations
-Staggering start and end times of secondary school and elementary school
-Training for CCS staff to streamline pick-up/drop-off procedures.
-Continue to refine and modify on-site routing configurations.
-Continue to refine and modify in-bound/out-bound channelization.
-Consider Off-site van or bus service to shuttle students on/off campus
-Implement other strategies to enhance efficiency.
Approximately 6 months from final installation of the portables to be allowed by the CUP approval, a meeting will be held on site while school is in session at CCS with City staff to observe drop off / pick up procedures and functional operation.
Prior to the submittal of any new/future permit, development application, Conditional Use Permit application or modifications as part of the CCS campus (including properties owned by Friends of CCS), CCS will be required to evaluate operational issues caused by excessive queuing along 21st Street SE. If the existing congestion on 21st Street SE has not been substantially mitigated by the countermeasures listed above, the applicant will be required to construct a secondary access and queuing area from 25th Street SE or equivalent capacity improvement. Alternatively, if student enrollment exceeds 1,065 students, up to a maximum of 1,341 students, an alternate access and queuing area from 25th Street SE or equivalent capacity improvement will be required. The alternative access and queuing area (adjacent to 25th Street SE) is expected to be paved and must meet City engineering standards. Additionally, a traffic analysis will be required during the preliminary review of the access on 25th Street NW.
Trip Generation/Traffic Impact Fee (TIF):
Student enrollment is directly related to vehicle trip generation and therefore directly associated with traffic impacts. This campus is presently vested to 925 students. Currently, the site is exceeding vested capacity, as right now there are 995 students at Cascade Christian School (CCS).
-Update traffic scoping document to reflect the increase in vested student capacity with CUP approval (925 to 1341).
-Based on data collected for this site, the CCS campus has a vehicle trip generation ~60% higher than published ITE data during the PM peak hour. For traffic impact fee assessment, it is acceptable to use the significantly lower trip generation rate (City code requires TIF calculation to cite ITE data). Note that this results in a TIF amount of $198,900 vs $315,900, a significant reduction.
-Note that TIF will be (260 additional student capacity)*0.17 = 70.7*$4500 = $318,150 traffic impact fees. The TIF must be paid on the new proposed CUP 1,341 student capacity.
Delay analysis:
The multiperiod delay analysis on 21st Street does not accurately represent existing conditions and does not correlate with City LOS thresholds. Actual delay for motorists queuing on 21st (and side streets) is extensive. Please coordinate with City staff on how to modify or possibly remove analysis of 21st Street.
Autoturn:
Submit a campus wide AutoTurn analysis showing feasibility of proposed circulation designs. Coordinate with City fire on scope and fire apparatus design.
Previous comments which were not addressed in this submittal of the TIA:

Previous comment: Consistent with previous CUP, volumes and speeds were collected on 21st Street SE to evaluate necessary traffic calming measures (85th percentile speeds were previously observed to be 33.6 mph). Design team to evaluate the effectiveness of existing traffic calming measures. Based on the anticipated increase in vehicle trips associated with this project, additional traffic calming measures may be necessary.
The Comment response stated: “Please review traffic report for alternatives to calming” The submitted traffic analysis did not address this comment.

It is difficult to determine whether or not the submittal meets standards because of the variation between documents and design elements within this permit and across others. Work should be done to make engineering documents relevant and consistent. Thi is the best way to expedite the approval. Specific engineering comments will be provided under PRGR20241060 and the associated civil permit. In general:
-Remove all proposed pervious concrete and asphalt areas. The infiltration rate and assumed ground water levels will most likely not support this type of installation.
-See traffic engineering comments concerning frontage. Curb cut in front of new parcel shall be removed as it is no longer an acces point. Replace with City Standard curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
-Show utilities existing and proposed and how they will look when the project is built especially as it pertains to the wet portable.
-Provide SWPPP with next submittal of Clear, Fill and Grade permit and O&M manual with civil submittal.
-Remove all refences and documents related to the Track and Field project. The storm report is over 200 pages and most of it is not relevant to the portable project. This slows down the review.

We have to have full site access and can not have both lanes being blocked in one direction. There needs to be free flowing movement onsite. Dropoff and pickup need designated locations throughout the campus. The proposed site plan does not provide access to all structures with the known factor of traffic backing up.
2. Where the two portables are going in the South East corner, a plan was already decided by everyone that the parking island and stall needed to be removed because an Auto-turn could not be performed properly. Implement the previous agreement into this site plan for code compliance.
3. Provide a full auto-turn of the whole campus for review. Consideration needs to be taken for drop off and pickup areas. If the fire apparatus can not traverse the site with traffic it will not be accepted.
4. Provide a full fire lane dimensioned site plan. The new parallel parking on the southside of the gym looks to be encroaching into the fire lane.
5. Once approved, all fire lane / stripping / No parking signage will need to be maintained and updated throughout campus.

Notes are duplicated for the following permits: PRCNC20220578, PRCCP20241229, PRCCP20241229, PLCUP20240037
• All site plans under each submittal need to match.
• The Civil Plans PRCNC20220578 do not show the bleachers, they instead show parking stalls.
• The Civil Plans PRCNC20220578 do not show the two south portables on all pages.
• The Auto-turn does not work for the campus. Remove all parking islands and spaces that interrupt the turning radiuses per previous discussions.
• Fire lane widths vary from site plan to site plan. Provide accurate representation of all fire lane widths that reflect the same width on all permits and pages.
• Certain site plans show parrel parking on the southside of the gym (parrel with fire lane) and certain site plans do now show the parking.
• In order to approve any Civil plans, the C.U.P. traffic issues will need to be rectified to insure the internal circulation does not get affected.

Traffic scoping comments were sent directly to Aaron Van Aken on 7/18/24. City comments included direction on scope of required traffic analysis.
-Comprehensive traffic analysis must be reviewed/approved prior to CUP approval.
-Based on public comments received, traffic analysis must address existing queuing/congestion impacts.
-Traffic analysis shall include site circulation analysis to accommodate pick-up/drop-off for full build out.
-Based on current enrollment (~600 students), traffic analysis must revaluate impacts associated with full build-out to proposed CUP student capacity (1185 students).
Traffic Impact fees (TIF) will be assessed in accordance with fees adopted by ordinance, per PMC 21.10.
Impact fees are subject to change and are adopted by ordinance. The applicant shall pay the proportionate impact fees adopted at the time of building permit application.
Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135 the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half- street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced.
-As part of the frontage improvement requirement, the applicant shall evaluate existing frontage for compliance with current ADA/City Standards.
-Existing frontage (21st Street SE & 25th Street SE) does not meet current standards for streetlighting. At the time of civil permit review provide a separate street lighting plan for the City to review.
-Based on previous coordination with Cascade Christian staff & concerns from the public, the design team shall provide a detailed evaluation for the implementation of a reduced speed school zone on 21st Street SE.
Consistent with previous CUP, volumes and speeds were collected on 21st Street SE to evaluate necessary traffic calming measures (85th percentile speeds were previously observed to be 33.6 mph). Design team to evaluate the effectiveness of existing traffic calming measures. Based on the anticipated increase in vehicle trips associated with this project, additional traffic calming measures may be necessary.
Submit sight distance analysis of the proposed driveways. Please provide photo documentation within the report of the sight distance analysis. The photo must show the location of the sight distance standard in the picture as well as the location of the viewer. If photo cannot be provided, plan sheets with plan and profile within the report can also provide the sight distance documentation. If this method is used, place the distance requirements as met on those documents and provide this information within the appendix of the report.
Design must provide ADA compliant internal sidewalks/pedestrian pathways that connect to all public access points/sidewalks.
Ingress/egress design shall adequately address on-site drop off/pick up activities and traffic flow inside the property and shall not allow drop off/pick up activities on city roadways or in city right of way. If any problems related to traffic circulation arise in the future, the school would be required to place parking lot attendants during school peak periods.
AutoTurn analysis will be required to ensure site driveways and internal circulation can accommodate the largest anticipated design vehicle. Submit at the time of civil review.
Driveway & parking lot cannot exceed 10% grade.
The pavement markings would be located on-site with durable material (thermoplastic).
To mitigate public concerns related to parking availability for sporting events, Cascade Christian must keep on-site parking lot open and available to the public when events are hosted on-site. On-street parking options are very limited in this area.

The city has received a number of comments relating to traffic congestion during pick-up and drop-off times at the existing school site. Specifically, the residents in the neighborhood are concerned that increasing the number of students will only increase the parents use of the neighborhood driveways and yards for student pick-up and drop-off. To ensure that this issue is adequately addressed, staff will need to compare the existing site queuing to the proposed site queuing. As such, we will need the project team to describe the existing queuing routes thorough the site, the proposed queuing routes through the site, and a narrative describing how the proposed queuing and mitigation measures will improve the existing queuing issues. Please note that the current queuing drawings do not provide a clear fire lane, the drawings will need to be updated to show how a clear fire lane will be maintained during student drop-off and pick-up queuing. Lastly, staff will need a narrative describing how the proposed queuing and mitigation measures will be an improvement over the existing conditions.
Summary Of Documents Needed:
-Current Queuing Site Plan with a clear fire lane
-Proposed Queuing Site Plan with a clear fire lane
-Narrative (memo) comparing the existing and proposed queuing conditions.

The SEPA Checklist is incomplete. All questions shall be answered and consistent with the proposed project. Referring the public / non-technical reader to a separate technical document is not sufficient answer to the question. Additionally, the SEPA checklist should look at the entire school site and answers should reflect this assumption (like impervious surface area). Please revise SEPA checklist to ensure consistency (portable building sizes, etc.) with the site plan and fully answer all SEPA checklist questions.

Add Submittal Item: Tree Risk Assessment for Significant Trees
Additional Submittal Item Required: Existing trees on the site which are larger than 15” in Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) are considered to be ‘significant trees’ and must be retained, where possible. If your site includes any significant trees, then you must include a tree risk assessment completed by a certified arborist and provided with your land use application and civil construction permit landscape plan. Any significant trees healthy enough to be retained in planned or required landscape areas shall be retained and shown on the landscape plans. See Vegetation Management Standards Plan Page 19 for criteria for significant tree retention. The arborist report should include a statement if it would be possible to retain any significant trees within the 30-foot buffer with the proposed rain garden.
