PROPOSED PROJECT
The Project site currently contains an existing 5,837 square -foot industrial building that will be converted into a n administrative office building. A 12,186 SF building was demolished and redeveloped into parking spaces as part of the expansion. In addition, the applicant is proposing to improve the site with 17,497 square feet of student outdoor spaces, on -site parking, and landscaping. Vista Heritage Global Academy is not increasing the maximum number of students with this expansion.
TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation represents the amount of traffic which is both attracted to and produced by a development. Determining traffic generation for a specific project is therefore based upon forecasting the amount of traffic that i s expected to be both attracted to and produced by the specific land uses being proposed for a given development. In order to develop the traffic characteristics of the existing land use and the proposed Project, trip -generation statistics published in the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11
th Edition) were used.
EXISTING USE
As noted previously, the site is designated as Light Manufacturing (M1) and is currently developed with a 5,837 square foot industrial building on-site. The trip generation for the existing use is summarized in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, the existing industrial building generates a total of 28 two-way trips per day with 4 AM peak hour trips and 4 PM peak hour trips.
TABLE 1: EXISTING USE TRIP GENERATION
PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed Project includes the re development of the existing building into a 5,764 school district office building . The trip generation summary illustrating daily, and peak hour trip generation estimates for the proposed Project are also summarized in Table 2. The proposed Project is anticipated to generate 84 two-way trips per day with 14 AM peak hour trips and 12 PM peak hour trips.

TABLE 2: PROPOSED PROJECT TRIP GENERATION SUMMARY
TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
Table 3 compares the trip generation of the proposed Project to the existing use ( currently adopted). The resulting net change in trips is also identified in Table 3 and has been calculated by subtracting the existing use from the proposed Project. As shown, the Project is anticipated to generate a net increase of 56 two-way trips per day, 10 more AM peak hour trips, and 8 more PM peak hour trips as compared to the existing use.
TABLE 3: TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON
FINDINGS
The development of the proposed Project (school district office) is anticipated to generate more trips than the existing (currently approved) industrial use. The net increase in trip generation and total trips generated are below 50 peak hour trips. As such, additional traffic analysis beyond this trip generation assessment does not appear to be necessary as the effects on transportation operations (level of service) are not significant.
