73RD AVE & CAMINO SAN XAVIER TRANSPORTATION NETWORK CTOC Meeting By: Tony S. Abbo, P.E., PTOE 10/05/2023 Proposed Site 2 • The proposed development is located at the Northwest corner of the intersection of 73rd Avenue and Camino San Xavier. • An “All Suites Hotel” is being proposed at the vacant parcel. Proposed Site (Cont.) 3 Roadways 4 • 73rd Ave: – North-south local roadway – 3-lane section (one lane in each direction + Turn lane) – Speed limit: 25 MPH • Camino San Xavier: – East of 73rd Ave: • 2 lane public road – West of 73rd Ave: • 2 lane private road County Assessors Map 5 Access to the site 6 • 2 signalized intersections: – Bell Road and 73rd Ave – 75th Ave and Camino San Xavier Proposed Development 7 • All Suites Hotel with 76 Rooms • The correct land use was used Traffic Projections (Avg Day) 8 Traffic Projections (PM Peak) 9 Traffic Projections 10 • Based on the traffic projections, the site will have very minimal impact on the city’s roadway network – Site generates 280 Trips per day – PM peak will generate 23 trips Sidewalk Requirement 11 • Sidewalk is only required in front of the development and not westward towards 75th Ave. – Glendale typically requires all new developments to construct sidewalk in front of their development if no sidewalk exists. • This requirement is part of the City’s efforts to improve mobility. Addressing Comments 12 • Comment: – “The study is based on this being a "hotel", and not "temporary housing" or "short term rentals". From what I have read, that would require the traffic engineers to change their ITE code and subsequent assessment from 311 to 221. Would that change the outcome/recommendation they provided to the applicant and the City? • Response: – The information we have is that it will be an “All Suites Hotel” and not temporary housing Addressing Comments 13 • Comment: – “The City of Glendale does not maintain that road. I have placed a Glendale One ticket and was told by City Traffic Staff that the road is maintained by two private parties. How can the City ensure flow and speak to metrics of private streets? • Response: – The development will not generate a large enough volume of traffic that will result in a significant impact to the private drive. Addressing Comments 14 • Comment: – There is a very dangerous blind curve in the road. Please go drive it. • Response – Yes, there is a curve on the private street that restricts sight visibility to the west. That is why there is an island restricting left turn movements out of the drive aisle on the west end of the property. Sight Distance 15 Addressing Comments 16 • Comment: – This property shares a driveway with an office building that leases to the lRS. The west driveway has a "pork chop" and is a one-way entrance from the east. One cannot safely and legally enter the property from 75th Avenue, making a left turn to access this property. • Response: – The property has two access points. A legal maneuver can be made through the eastern (main) access to the site. Access To The Site 17 18 Permissible Left Turn Access To 75th Ave Access To The Site Questions 19
