3/4ths of a mile from the intersection with US441. Intended uses for the proposed development include drive-

analysis performed by MacKenzie Engineering & Planners performed for the westered neighboring site
consisting of a fuel station and 14 acres of undeveloped commercial land. Their report summary included
roadway improvements for the fuel station and based all 14 acres of future commercial land developed as
general commercial. The proposed uses of Park Street Commerce Center (205 trips/acre) are below general
commercial rates(465 trips/acre). Below are the AM/PM peak hourly generation rates along with average daily
trip rates for the proposed development based on ITE data.
