Peoria & Sarival – Glendale, AZ Traffic Impact Analysis 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Peoria & Sarival is a proposed development encompassing 956,932 square feet of industrial space and approximately 58,980 square feet of general retail. The site is located on the southwest corner of Peoria Avenue and Sarival Avenue in Glendale, Arizona, and is planned to be constructed by 2026. TRIP GENERATION ➢ The project is anticipated to generate a total of 5,532 daily trips (entering and exiting), 240 trips during the AM peak hour, and 447 trips during the PM peak hour. The greatest hourly entering volume occurs during the PM peak hour, when 190 entering trips are anticipated SITE ACCESS ➢ One full-access driveway (Driveway A) and one right-in/right-out access (Driveway B) are proposed on Sarival Avenue approximately 1,240 feet and 400 feet south of Peoria Avenue, respectively. In the future, Driveway A is anticipated to become a shared access with the parcel south of the site once the southern parcel is developed (no construction timeline is known at this time). Driveway B is anticipated to align with a future Carioca Gas Station driveway on the east side of Sarival Avenue. ➢ One three-quarter access (Driveway C) is proposed on Peoria Avenue approximately 640 feet west of Sarival Avenue. A full-access driveway is anticipated to be constructed at the 165th Drive alignment as part of adjacent developments, notably from the parcel immediately west of the site owned by Walmart. The alignment is expected to be east of ADOT ROW (approximately 0.21 miles east of Sarival Avenue) and will be operated by City of Surprise and City of Glendale. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS ➢ Traffic signal warrants #1 and #2 were evaluated at Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue and Driveway D (165th Drive)/Peoria Avenue. ➢ Signal warrants are met with existing 2024 traffic volumes at Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue. ➢ Signal warrants are anticipated to be met in the 2026 background traffic conditions at Driveway D (165th Drive)/Peoria Avenue based on background traffic without the site. ➢ Based on input from the City of Glendale, a proportional share towards the cost of installing the traffic signals may be necessary from the site. Calculations indicate the site contributes 6% towards the traffic at Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue and 7% towards the traffic at Driveway D (165th Drive)/Peoria Avenue. A contribution amount of a similar value may be appropriate. ➢ As the site is on the southwest corner of Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue, the City of Glendale has stated they would expect the site to contribute 25% towards the cost of the signal at Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue. ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ➢ A total of twelve (12) adjacent developments were included in analysis as part of background traffic volumes. Overall, the surrounding roadway network is anticipated to be improved as part of the developments constructing half-street improvements. ➢ Both Peoria Avenue and Sarival Avenue are anticipated to provide three lanes in each direction with the improvements. LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS ➢ The study intersections were analyzed under existing traffic conditions as well as the 2026 opening year and 2031 horizon year. Alan Heathcoat P.E. Principal Engineer Glendale Transportation 10/08/2024 8:38:54 AM APPROVED Peoria & Sarival – Glendale, AZ Traffic Impact Analysis 2 ➢ In 2024 existing condition, all movements at the existing study intersections operate at or above LOS D. ➢ Under 2026 and 2031 background and total conditions, all movements are projected to continue operating at sufficient LOS. TURN LANE ANALYSIS ➢ The City of Glendale requires a dedicated right-turn lane at all site access points. A center two-way left-turn lane currently exists on Sarival Avenue to facilitate access for Driveway A, and a left-turn lane will need to be cut into the future raised median on Peoria Avenue to facilitate access for Driveways C and D. RECOMMENDATIONS ➢ Construct dedicated right-turn lanes at the site access points. Driveways C and D (165th Drive) on Peoria Avenue will require 160 feet of storage and a 100-foot taper to meet City of Surprise guidelines. Driveways A and B on Sarival Avenue will require 150 feet of storage and a 100-foot taper to meet City of Glendale guidelines. The center two-way left-turn lane on Sarival Avenue is anticipated to adequately facilitate access at Driveway A, and a westbound left-turn lane will need to be constructed at Driveway C with 160 feet of storage. ➢ Consideration should be given to making the Carioca Gas Station driveway that aligns with Driveway B into a right-in/right-out only access point. Due to the northbound left-turn queues anticipated at Peoria Avenue/Sarival Avenue and the southbound left-turn queues anticipated at the driveway, there is potential for left-turn overlap due to the close proximity. The Carioca Gas Station proposes another full-access driveway on Sarival Avenue at the south side of the parcel, which would be expected to adequately handle the left-turning traffic.
