Traffic scoping worksheet will be required for this project. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development.
Once the traffic scoping worksheet is reviewed, a written response would be sent to the applicant’s traffic engineer outlining the scope of the project’s Traffic Impact Study (TIS).
The city has adopted a City-Wide Traffic Impact Fee of $4,500 per PM peak hour trip. Final fees will be calculated and assessed by the City at the time of building permit issuance.
Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, 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.
o E Pioneer is classified as a Major Arterial and shall consist of curb, gutter, 8’ sidewalks, 10ft planter strip, and streetlights. The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) may need to be dedicated to the city.
This commercial development shall provide an AutoTurn analysis for the largest anticipated vehicle that would access the site. Curb radii and entrance dimensions shall be increased as necessary to allow vehicles to access the site without encroaching into adjacent lanes of traffic. This analysis will be required during civil permit review.
At the time of civil permit review provide a separate street lighting plan and pavement striping plan (channelization) sheet for the city to review.
Sight distance analysis required
On-site monument signage must be located outside sight distance triangle.
E Pioneer along the site is designated as a major arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1) require minimum driveway/intersection spacing of 300 feet for arterials, measured between closest edges of each access.
o The proposed access off E Pioneer does not meet spacing standards for arterials.
o Existing easement thru adjacent development shall be utilized for this project
o The existing Meeker Landing driveway on E Pioneer may need to be restricted to right-in/right-out because there’s no TWLTL to accommodate full movement.
