Re:
Proposed Sun Rise Luxury Apartments in Glendale, Arizona – Traffic Statement
At your request, Lee Engineering has prepared this letter report to present the results of our traffic
engineering analysis for a proposed 120-unit multi-family residential development on 59th Avenue between
Missouri and Montebello Avenues in Glendale, Arizona. The objective of this analysis is to prepare a Traffic
Statement following the procedures and methodologies outlined in the Maricopa County Traffic Impact
Study Manual, used by the City of Glendale to analyze development impacts. The letter report uses the site
concept plan and information within the ITE Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) to estimate the daily, AM
peak hour, and PM peak hour number of trips the site is expected to generate, generalizes the impacts site-
generated traffic may have on the local roadway network and reviews site access and internal on-site
circulation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•
The proposed 120-unit Sun Rise Luxury Apartments is projected for a 2022 opening year.
•
At full occupancy, the site is estimated to generate 867 daily trip ends (inbound plus outbound)
with 58 trip ends (13 in, 45 out) occurring in the AM peak hour and 70 trip ends (44 in, 26 out)
during the PM peak hour.
•
No capacity constraints exist within the study area or are anticipated under future conditions when
considering the projected traffic associated with subject development. No modifications to existing
traffic control are required.
•
Engineering judgment was used for distribution and assignment of traffic. Projected volumes do
not meet criteria for a right-turn deceleration lane at the site’s main entrance off of 59th Avenue.
•
The main site driveway on 59th Avenue is appropriately located near the mid-block location and
between two low-volume driveways on the east side of the street. This will introduce some
competition for use of the two-way left-turn lane; however, because low-volume/low-speed
operations are anticipated, conflicts are anticipated to be minimal. Movement of the site driveway
to another location north or south would not correct the condition. It is recommended that the
driveway remain as proposed.
•
The angle of the key pad islands at the main entrance, more notably the north location, may be
difficult for inbound drivers to easily navigate into position for use. The ability to angle the islands
may be beneficial.

SITE LOCATION AND ZONING CHARACTERISTICS
The parcel planned for development is identified per the Maricopa County Assessor’s website as parcel
144-29-002A, situated on the west side of 59th Avenue between Missouri Avenue and Montebello Avenue.
The parcel is rectangular in shape fronting 59th Avenue for the entire length between Missouri and
Montebello Avenues (1,250 feet) and having 255 feet of frontage on both Missouri and Montebello
Avenues. The site is currently undeveloped and located approximately 4 miles north of the I-10 (Papago
Freeway) corridor and 1 mile east of Grand Avenue in Glendale, Arizona. Figure 1 shows a vicinity map of
the subject site.
Per the Maricopa County Assessor’s website, the size of the property is 318,750 square feet (SF) or 7.3
acres, and the site is currently zoned C-2 (General Commercial). From the site plan provided, the subject
site is proposed for an R-4 (Multiple Residence) zoning. According to the City of Glendale Zoning
Ordinance, Table 2, an R-4 zoning permits a maximum density of 20 dwelling units per acre. Calculating the
number of dwelling units permitted by code, the resulting 146 units (7.3 ac x 20 units/ac) is higher than the
120 units proposed for construction.

ADJACENT ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICS
In the vicinity of the subject site, 59th Avenue is 4-lane north-south arterial roadway with a two-way center
turn lane, except for the first 350 feet north of Missouri Avenue, where a raised median is provided to help
with access management. Bike lanes are not present, but buffered sidewalks and roadway lighting exist on
both sides of the street. The posted speed limit on 59th Avenue is 40 mph. From the Maricopa County
Assessor’s website, a 55-foot half-street ROW width exists on the west side of the street and 65 feet on the
east half, matching the City of Glendale’s ultimate roadway cross-section for the roadway (Arterial Section
A-2, Standard Detail G-300). Comment from the City Engineering Department, however, has indicated that
the site will be required to provide an additional 5 feet of ROW to match a 60-foot half-street ROW width.
From the City’s latest traffic volume map for 2020, 25,600 vehicles per day (VPD) use 59th Avenue between
Camelback Road and Bethany Home Road. Multiple driveways are evident along the east side of the street
between Missouri and Montebello Avenues serving local commercial developments. A transit stop, with
bench, is located on southbound 59th Avenue about 160 feet south of Montebello Avenue.
Missouri Avenue is a designated east/west collector roadway providing a single travel lane in each
direction, undivided west of 59th Avenue and having a two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL) east of the arterial.
Bike lanes are present west of 59th Avenue as well as street-adjacent sidewalks and roadway lighting on the
north side of the road. The speed limit is posted 25 mph. The city does not provide daily traffic volume
counts for this roadway. The north half-street ROW width on Missouri Avenue is 40 feet fronting the site.
Montebello Avenue is a local east/west roadway one-half mile in length serving the adjacent residential
communities west of 59th Avenue and providing access to small retail and industrial businesses on the east
side of the arterial before terminating at 57th Avenue. Montebello Avenue west of 59th Avenue has
sidewalk only on the north side of the roadway but not along the south side fronting the Three Fountains
mobile home community. The roadway is posted 25 mph and has two speed humps west of the subject
site. The city does not provide a traffic count on this facility, but the volume is expected to be low. The
south half-street ROW width on Montebello Avenue is 30 feet fronting the site.
The intersection of 59th Avenue and Missouri Avenue is signalized. The 59th Avenue approaches have
designated left, though, and shared through/right-turn lanes. The southbound left-turn lane provides 100
feet of storage while the northbound left-turn storage is scaled to be 115 feet in length. The Missouri
Avenue approaches have separate left, through, and right-turn lanes. The west approach leg is striped for
115 feet of left- and right-turn lane storage with the striped transition area approaching the intersection
beginning 50 feet west of the subject site’s west property line.
The 59th Avenue/Montebello Avenue intersection is minor-street STOP controlled. The major street left-
turn movements are made from the TWLTL while right-turns are made from the outside through lane. The
minor-street approaches are approximately 34 feet in width, allowing right-turning motorists to bypass
vehicles waiting to turn left or go through the intersection, although not striped.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The site is proposed to be developed as a 120-unit multi-family apartment development. The site is shown
to have a single main access, 40 feet in width, on 59th Avenue about midway between Missouri and
Montebello Avenues, opposite low-volume driveways including House of Canvas and Taco Mich. Based on
the site layout, no modifications are proposed for 59th Avenue to accommodate access. Right-turn entering
movements are to be made from the existing outside through lane while left-turn access into the site will
be from the existing TWLTL. The main circular entrance area measures 105 feet in diameter with what
appears to be a 20.5-foot wide drive area, adequate to accommodate the turn radius of a sanitation/ladder
truck (Standard Detail G-954). Exit-only gates (23 feet wide) are located on both Missouri and Montebello
Avenues 40 feet from the site’s west property line and positioned 20 feet within the east and west property
lines, respectively. Sidewalks are shown on all site roadway frontages. Two existing driveway curb cuts on
59th Avenue are proposed to be eliminated.
Internally, vehicular access is not possible between the north and south sides of the property without
traveling through the main gates and entrance area separating the two sides. Drive aisles are shown to be
a minimum 23 feet wide with garage, covered, and open parking spaces that are 10’ x 18.5’ excluding
overhang. A copy of the conceptual site layout plan is shown as Figure 2 while a clipped version with an
aerial background is shown in Figure 3.
The client has indicated the construction to be completed in three development phases. The initial center
development is planned for a late 2022 opening year followed by the north and south phases, respectively.
Full site build-out is anticipated for mid-2023. For the purposes of this report, it will be assumed full build-
out occurs at site opening.
TRIP GENERATION
To estimate the site’s trip generation characteristics, Trip
Generation, Tenth Edition, published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) in 2017, was used to calculate
average weekday daily total and the AM and PM peak-hour
number of trip ends for the site. Based on information shown in
Figure 2, the most appropriate land use code (LUC) to estimate
site trips is LUC 220, Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise). Based on
the number of dwelling units proposed for the site, the fitted
curve equations have been used to estimate the site’s trip
characteristics.
Based on a total of 120 dwelling units, Table 1 presents the
number of vehicle trip ends anticipated to be generated during a
typical weekday and in the AM and PM peak hours. It is expected
that all trips will be new trips generated by automobile. Possible
trip reductions for pass-by, alternative travel modes or internal
site interaction are not appropriate or have not been applied for
this land use. Results indicate a total of 867 daily trips (inbound
plus outbound) are anticipated at full buildout with 58 trip ends
occurring in the AM peak hour (13 in, 45 out) and 70 trip ends
occurring during PM peak hour conditions (44 in, 26 out).

SITE TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
From review of the roadway network adjacent to the site and the site’s conceptual layout plan, engineering
judgment was used to estimate how site-generated trips will be distributed since traffic counts were not
conducted for this analysis and no known historical traffic counts are available. Site traffic is assumed to
distribute onto the adjacent roadway network in the following manner:
•
To/From North 59th Avenue = 35%
•
To/From South 59th Avenue = 35%
•
To/From Missouri Avenue= 20%
•
To/From Montebello Avenue = 10%
Based on ease of access and the above distribution percentages, the site trips were assigned to the site
driveways and roadway network based on minimum travel paths and any access restrictions of the site.
Figure 4 shows the estimated site traffic distribution and vehicle assignment.
Based on the information presented in Figure 4, the following are noted:
•
Overall, very few site trips are expected at any one intersection. No significant change to operating
conditions of any adjacent intersection is projected due to the added site traffic.
•
Very few vehicles are estimated to exit from the side-street exit-only locations since only half of the
units have access to each location.
•
The main site access will accommodate all inbound and the majority of outbound trips. During the
peak morning period, 28 vehicles are estimated to exit (1 vehicle every 2 minutes), approximately
half turning left and half turning right. During the peak afternoon period, 20 vehicles are projected
to enter via right-turn movement (1 vehicle every 3 minutes) and 24 vehicles via left-turn
movement (1 vehicle every 2.5 minutes).
•
Based on right-turn deceleration lane requirements (MCDOT RDM, Section 7.17), below, and the
volume estimates shown in Figure 4, conditions are not met for a right turn deceleration lane at the
main site driveway on 59th Avenue:
A driveway right turn deceleration lane is required when either of the following is met:
•
The outside lane has an expected volume of 250 vph or greater and the right turn
volume is greater than 55 vph.
•
Any three of the below criteria are met:
a. At least 5,000 vehicle per day are using or are expected to be using the adjacent
street.
b. The roadway’s posted speed limit is greater than 35 mph.
c. At least 1,000 vehicles per day are using or are expected to use the driveway.
d. At least 30 vehicles are expected to make right-turns into the driveway within a
one-hour period.

DRIVEWAY DESIGN / ON-SITE CIRCULATION
Based on the information provided on the site layout and the City’s Engineering Design & Construction
Standards (EDCS), the following observations can be drawn regarding the site’s two access points:
•
The access points are proposed at 90 degrees to the intersecting roadway.
•
The main site driveway is scaled to be 40 feet wide and the side-street exit-only driveways are 23
feet wide, meeting the City’s driveway width policy.
•
The throat length distance at the main driveway, assuming counterclockwise operation, is about 75
feet.
•
The throat length distance at the north exit-only driveway to Montebello Avenue is scaled to be
about 55 feet. This is equal to the required 55-foot distance identified by the City in Pre-App
comments.
•
The throat length distance at the north exit-only driveway to Missouri Avenue is scaled to be about
60 feet. This is greater than the required 55-foot distance identified by the City.
•
Internal parking/drive aisles appear to range from 23 feet to 26 feet, meeting City two-way
minimum drive aisle width of 23 feet for bi-directional movements.
•
A total of 251 parking spaces are provided on-site, of which 10 are ADA spaces, exceeding minimum
requirements of 250 general and 7 ADA spaces.
•
Parking stalls on the site plan are indicated to be 10’ x 20’ (including 1.5’ overhang) meeting city
requirements.
•
5-foot sidewalk paths are provided internal to the site, meeting City Pre-App comments.
•
The individual gate control/key pad area appears to be located a sufficient distance from the 59th
Avenue travelled way (over 70 feet) and over 30 feet from the ROW line. Minimum distance
between from key pad to ROW line, per City-referenced Chandler standard detail, is 60 feet. The
site plan meets the intent of the detail by providing sufficient clearance to off-site traffic and ability
to store 2 or more vehicles on-site. Modification of the location or angle of the key pad islands may
be required to better accommodate ease of access for incoming vehicle use.
•
The site adjacent roadways are mainly straight without significant horizontal or vertical deflection,
permitting adequate sight visibility at the site driveway locations. From aerial images, it appears
sufficient sight visibility can be provided at all access points. Landscaping, signing, and other
obstructions should not be placed within the sight triangles that would obscure driver vision to
approaching vehicles, per City Standard Detail (G-448).
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the above information, the proposed 120-unit Sun Rise Luxury Apartments is projected for a 2022
opening year. At full occupancy, the site is estimated to generate 867 daily trip ends (inbound plus
outbound) with 58 trip ends (13 in, 45 out) occurring in the AM peak hour and 70 trip ends (44 in, 26 out)
during the PM peak hour.
No capacity constraints exist within the study area or are anticipated under future conditions when
considering the projected traffic associated with subject development. No modifications to existing traffic
control are required.
