This letter report summarizes the land uses and trip generation calculations for the currently approved MacArthur Place Specific Development Plan and the proposed Specific Development Plan amendment. Based on the subsequent analysis presented in this letter report, replacing the currently approved townhomes (15 dwelling units), office condominium (10,000 square feet), retail (5,350 square feet), and sit down restaurant (8,550 square feet) uses with an 185 room hotel and allowing for the optional (temporary) conversion of some condominium uses to apartment uses will result in a net reduction in trip generation for the project site. The analysis in this letter report is based upon the recently published Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) informational report Trip Generation (8'h Edition, 2008). The last published analysis for the subject project was a letter report entitled Trip Generation Evaluation for the Change in Project Description of the Hutton Center Residential Development Proiect (Urban Crossroads, Inc., December, 2004). CURRENTLY APPROVED AND PROPOSED LAND USES The MacArthur Place Specific Development Plan currently approved land uses include the following uses which are unchanged by the proposed Specific Development Plan amendment: Resolution No. 2009-025 Page 62 of 95 06674-04 Letter Report
