SUBJECT: First Consideration of an Ordinance for

Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Official Map Amendment, Rezoning, and Conditional Use for Canaan Church at 1255 Milwaukee Avenue

AGENDA ITEM: 11.a

MEETING DATE: October 2, 2018

TO: Village President and Board of Trustees

FROM: Jeff Brady, Director of Planning, (847) 904-4306

THROUGH: Matthew J. Formica, Village Manager

CASE # :

P2018-0029

LOCATION:

1255 Milwaukee Avenue

PROJECT NAME:

Canaan Presbyterian Church

ACTION REQUESTED:

Staff requests first consideration by the Village Board of Trustees of a Plan Commission recommendation for approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Official Map Amendment, Rezoning, and Conditional Use for Canaan Church at 1255 Milwaukee Avenue to allow the existing building upon the property to be used as a building primarily devoted to religious worship, a conditional use in the R-1 Residential Zoning District.

Following the completion of the Plan Commission process, Staff amended the language used in the draft ordinance to better clarify the Plan Commission’s intention with regards to parking and special uses.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property is currently improved with an office building. The building was primarily used for medical office land uses until it was vacated several years ago. The property is subject to the recommendations of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan and the Milwaukee Avenue Corridor Plan. Within the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is one of several properties for which Commercial zoning changes are supported. The Comprehensive Plan does not provide specific guidance on religious uses in this area, although residential zoning within the area adjacent to The Grove was considered as an appropriate land use.

(2)

PLAN COMMISSION DISCUSSION:

At the August 28, 2018 Plan Commission meeting, staff presented an overview of the project which included the following:

 Applicant proposes to operate a church of approximately 100 congregants;

 Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Official Map Amendment, Rezoning to residential zoning, and Conditional Use to allow operation of a church;

 No exterior site plan changes are proposed at this time;  Sufficient parking exists for approximately 230 congregants;

Following staff’s summary, the Plan Commission began discussing the proposal and focused on the following issues:

Size of Congregation:

The Plan Commission reviewed the potential impacts of larger events that may be held on the subject property. The Plan Commission felt that special events which exceeds 100 occupants would require a special event permit that may necessitate additional traffic control and review by the Village.

Comprehensive Plan:

Staff clarified that the 2017 Village of Glenview Comprehensive Plan does not provide specific guidance regarding the proposed rezoning of the property from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District as requested by the applicant to allow the operation of a religious institution.

Milwaukee Avenue Corridor:

The Plan Commission discussed the future requirement for Milwaukee Avenue Corridor cross-access easements. These easements would not be required in association with the current proposal since no exterior changes are proposed, but any future changes to the site plan would trigger this requirement. One member of the public spoke during the public hearing to provide comments in favor of the request. The Plan Commission moved to recommend approval of the proposal with additional language which clarifies the terms for future request for special event permits.

PLAN COMMISSION ACTION:

On August 28, 2018, Commissioner Witt moved, seconded by Commissioner Korman, to recommend approval, by a 6-0 vote, of Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Official Map Amendment Rezoning and Conditional Use, for the subject property commonly known as 1255 Milwaukee Avenue from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District to allow the subject property to be utilized as a building primarily devoted to religious worship in accordance with the following conditions:

A. Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reflect the rezoning of the subject property from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District.

B. Official Map Amendment to reflect the rezoning of the subject property from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District.

C. Rezoning of the subject property from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District.

(3)

D. Conditional Use in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 98, Article II, Section 98-50 (a)(1)

and Article II, Section 98-106(d)(2) of the Code to allow the operation a building primarily devoted to religious worship upon the subject property, a conditional use in the R1 Residential Zoning District, shall be permitted subject to the following conditions:

1. The use shall be permitted to operate from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm daily, with exceptions for

the following:

2. There shall be a maximum occupancy of 234 people during normal services, however any

special events exceeding 100 persons and/or with the potential for impact on the community or traffic safety shall be required to obtain a special event permit from the Village of Glenview. In addition, petitioner understands that in the event that they need to obtain a special event permit from the Village, that there might be additional traffic control personnel required by the Village in addition.

3. The petitioner shall be in receipt of a building permit within 1 year following the adoption

of said ordinance, or the conditional use will lapse.

4. If the conditional use is abandoned or discontinued for more than three (3) months,

without substantial attempt to resume such use, the conditional use shall be rescinded.

E. All materials presented to the Commission on August 28, 2018 and associated revisions required

by the Plan Commission.

Project Summary

BACKGROUND:

The subject property is currently improved with an office building. The building was primarily used for medical office land uses until it was vacated in recent years. The property is subject to the recommendations of the 2017 Comprehensive Plan and the Milwaukee Avenue Corridor Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The applicant requests a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Official Map Amendment, Rezoning, and Conditional Use to allow a religious institution to occupy the existing building. Interior renovations would be completed to allow for a gathering space of approximately 100 people.

Weekly activities would be consistent with the following summary:

Day Event Time Attendance

Tuesday and Friday Evenings

Prayer Meetings 6:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. 10 People

Thursday Evenings Bible Study 7:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. 5 people

Monday through Friday Music Lessons 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. 10 people

Friday Evenings Prayer Service 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. 20 people

Sunday Morning Mass 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. 20 people

Sunday Morning Mass 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. 70 people

As needed Weddings / Special Events - 100 people

The applicant is not proposing any other alterations to the property at this time. There will be no kitchen or banquet facilities on-site. It is likely the applicant will request signage at a point in the future which will require additional review and approval from the Appearance Commission.

The applicant may pursue a childcare/daycare facility on-site in the future. This would require the applicant to return to the Plan Commission and Board of Trustees for review of alterations to the Conditional Use and any associated site plan modifications.

POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTS:

The subject property lies adjacent to existing commercial properties. No correspondence has been received regarding this petition to date. No impacts are expected from the added traffic. During special events or large events, the applicant may be required to provide traffic control services through the Glenview Police Department. This determination is made by Village Officials during review of a special event permit.

(8)

Plan Commission Review

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT:

The 2017 Village of Glenview Comprehensive Plan does not provide specific guidance regarding the proposed rezoning of the property from I-1 Limited Commercial District to R-1 Single-Family District as requested by the applicant to allow the operation of a religious institution. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan would be required to allow the proposed conditions.

(9)

OFFICIAL MAP AMENDMENT:

The Village’s Official map prescribes appropriate land uses for property within the Village and property within 1.5 miles of the Village’s corporate limits. Also, the Village’s Official Map is incorporated by reference within the Village’s Comprehensive Plan to provide guidance regarding rezoning petitions. Since the 2017 Village of Glenview Comprehensive Plan does not provide specific guidance regarding the proposed rezoning of the property from P-1 Public Lands District to I-2 Light Industrial District as requested by the applicant, an amendment to the Official Map would be required to allow the proposed conditions.

REZONING STANDARDS:

The Plan Commission should consider the following judicial standards and requisites for rezoning: 1. The existing uses and zoning of nearby property.

2. The extent to which property values may be diminished by the particular zoning restrictions. 3. The extent to which the destruction of property values upon the plaintiff promotes the health,

safety, morals, and general welfare of the public.

4. The relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon the individual property owner.

5. The suitability of the subject property for the zoned purposes.

6. The length of time the property has been vacant as zoned considered in the context of land development in the area in the vicinity of the subject property.

7. The community need for the proposed use.

8. The care with which the community has undertaken to plan its land use development.

(10)

CONDITIONALUSESTANDARDS:

Per Sec. 98-50 of the Municipal Code, the Plan Commission shall evaluate any petition for Conditional Use Permit in accordance with the following standards before offering a recommendation to the Village Board of Trustees:

1. The proposed conditional use at the particular location is necessary or desirable for the public

convenience; and it will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of property already permitted in the immediate vicinity; nor will it diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood; nor will it affect a significant change in the character of the neighborhood.

2. The location and size of the conditional use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved in

or conducted in connection with it, the size of the site in relation to it, and the location of the site with respect to streets giving access to it, shall be such that it will be in harmony with present development and the appropriate and orderly future development of the district in which it is located, as well as other butting districts.

3. The location, nature, and height of buildings, walls, and fences, and the nature and extent of the

landscaping on the site shall be such that the use will not unreasonably hinder or discourage the appropriate development and use of adjacent and nearby land and buildings.

4. Parking areas shall be of adequate size for the particular use, properly located, and suitably

screened from adjoining residential uses, and the entrance and exit drives shall be laid out so as to prevent traffic hazards and nuisances, and minimize traffic congestion in the area.

5. A use which is permitted in another district by conditional use shall comply with all applicable bulk

regulations of the district in which the use is located.

Please refer to the applicant’s Conditional Use application within the attached application materials for details regarding the applicant’s responses and justifications for the proposed use in regard to the Conditional Use Standards.

Technical Review

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS:

A parking / traffic study was prepared for the proposed project which evaluated the use and scope of proposed traffic. A review of projected impacts and site analysis was conducted by James J. Benes and Associates. The Village’s third-party consultant concurred with the results of the applicant’s study which showed the proposed parking and traffic was suitable for the location. Given the relatively small size of the congregation, vehicles exiting onto Milwaukee Avenue are not expected to cause any addition congestion. On Sundays, the busiest time for the facility, the traffic on Milwaukee Avenue is off-peak and traffic circulation is not expected to be an issue.

Re: Canaan Presbyterian Church, 1255 Milwaukee Avenue

Glenview, Illinois

Job No. 1394.154

At your request, we have performed a review of the proposed redevelopment of existing structure and parking at 1255 Milwaukee Avenue into a church and weekday child day care center. The lot is currently vacant. Access is from a full driveway on Milwaukee Avenue. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) prepared by KLOA and dated August 20, 2018 was prepared for our review.

We offer the following comments:

Vehicular Access and Internal Circulation

The TIS implies there are no proposed changes within the Milwaukee Road right-of-way, which would have required IDOT approval. Milwaukee Avenue is a Strategic Regional Arterial (SRA) designed to improve regional mobility. Restricting curb cuts is an IDOT design goal for SRAs. There have been discussions about consolidating access along this corridor to a parallel road ultimately connecting to a shared full access opposite the full Abt access on the west side of Milwaukee. This site is not interconnected today because grading differences make a connection to the property to the east difficult. This development does not affect the grade differential and a required interconnection is not appropriate at this time.

Pedestrian Access

There is no pedestrian accessible route from the Milwaukee right-of-way to the building as may be required by ADA rules.

(15)

Traffic Impact

The 10th_{Edition of ITE has very limited data for congregations of this small size. The smallest data}

point has 300 church attendees. Actual data from similarly sized religious assemblies would verify the projections in the TIS. The TIS says 100 adults will attend, but the ITE methodology is based upon all attendees including children and support staff. What is the full attendance during services? Provide more details of religious schedules.

The 0.75% projected background network growth is similar to past CMAP projections in this corridor, but the letter from CMAP was not in the TIS.

The directional distribution of peak hour trips of this development are reasonable. Given the traffic volumes on Milwaukee, left turns from and onto Milwaukee at driveways must wait a while for gaps. It is appropriate to use a gap analysis to confirm left turns in and out have sufficient opportunity to move during peak periods. The backup to Table 1 was not in the TIS. We cannot tell if the existing traffic at the driveway immediately southeast has been taken into account. Vehicles using this neighboring driveway compete with visitors of this development for gaps during which turns can be executed.

Some of the exhibits are incorrectly labelled. Confirm that Figure 3 tracks Sunday peak hour and not Saturday traffic and that the AM and PM peaks are weekday.

Parking

Section 98-293b7 of the Code requires one parking space per three seats of religious use. The actual number of seats is not specified, but one seat per adult was assumed to determine a required total of 34 spaces are required. A total of 75 spaces exist today and are proposed to remain. Nursery schools shall provide 3 spaces for each two classrooms. We assume there will be less than 50 classrooms, suggesting compliance. No information was provided about the dimensions of the existing spaces. The number of handicapped accessible spaces exceeds code requirements.

Summary Traffic Evaluation

Proposed Canaan Presbyterian Church of Chicago

Plainfield, Illinois

This memorandum summarizes the methodologies, results, and findings of a traffic impact study

conducted by Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for the proposed Canaan

Presbyterian Church to be located in Glenview, Illinois. The site, which is currently occupied by

a vacant medical office building, is located at 1255 Milwaukee Avenue (IL Route 21). As

proposed, the existing building will be converted to a church to accommodate its 100 adult

members. Additionally, the building will be used on weekdays for a daycare facility for up to 30

children.

The purpose of this study was to examine background traffic conditions, assess the impact that the

proposed development will have on traffic conditions in the area, and determine if any roadway or

access improvements are necessary to accommodate traffic generated by the proposed

development.

Existing Conditions

The site, as previously indicated, is located at 1255 Milwaukee Avenue, approximately 700 feet

south of Kennicott Lane and is currently occupied by a vacant medical office building. The

surrounding land uses are Guarantee Trust Life Insurance and Delta Hotels by Marriot Chicago

North Shore Suites to the north, US Law Group, Lucy’s Garage and Life Storage to the south and

Abt Electronics to the west. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to the area roadway

system. Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the site area.

Milwaukee Avenue (IL 21) is generally a north-south principal arterial providing two lanes in each

direction separated by a center left-turn lane. At its unsignalized intersection with the Abt

Electronics full movement access drive, Milwaukee Avenue provides an exclusive left-turn lane,

a through lane and a shared through/right-turn lane on the northbound approach and an exclusive

left-turn lane, two through lanes and an exclusive right-turn lane on the southbound approach. At

its unsignalized intersection with the Abt Electronics right-in/right-out access drive, Milwaukee

Avenue provides two through lanes on the northbound approach and a through lane and a shared

through/right-turn lane on the southbound approach. At its unsignalized intersection with the site

access drive, Milwaukee Avenue provides a through lane and a shared through/right-turn lane on

the northbound approach and an exclusive left-turn lane and two through lanes on the southbound

approach. Milwaukee Avenue is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation

(IDOT), is designated as a Strategic Regional Arterial (SRA), carries an AADT volume of 37,300

vehicles (IDOT AADT 2017) and has a speed limit of 45 miles per hour.

Existing Traffic Volumes

In order to determine current traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site, KLOA, Inc. conducted

peak period traffic counts utilizing Miovision Scout Collection Units on Tuesday, August 14, 2018

during the weekday morning (7:00 to 9:00 A.M.) and evening (4:00 to 6:00 P.M.) peak periods

and on Sunday, August 12, 2018 during the morning/midday (8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.) peak period

at the intersections of Milwaukee Avenue with the Abt Electronics full movement access drive

and Milwaukee Avenue with the Abt Electronics right-in/right-out access drive. The results of the

traffic counts indicated that the weekday morning peak hour of traffic occurs from 7:74 A.M.

to 8:74 A.M., the weekday evening peak hour of traffic occurs from 4:45 P.M. to 5:45 P.M. and

the Sunday midday peak hour of traffic occurs from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 P.M.

Gap Study Results

A gap study was also conducted on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 and on Sunday, August 12, 2018

during the previously determined peak hours along Milwaukee Avenue at the location of the site

access drive to determine the availability of gaps or interruptions in the Milwaukee Avenue traffic

stream. Gaps in the northbound direction on Milwaukee Avenue, which allow traffic to turn left

from Milwaukee Avenue onto the site access drive and right from the site access drive onto

Milwaukee Avenue and gaps in both directions on Milwaukee Avenue, which allow traffic to turn

left from the site access drive onto Milwaukee Avenue, were surveyed. The critical gap and

follow-up gap periods required to turn to and from Milwaukee Avenue were based on information

provided in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) published by the Transportation Research

Board (TRB). Table 1 summarizes the results of the gap study. As can be seen, the results indicate

that numerous gaps are available in the traffic stream to accommodate turning movements.

(30)

Table 1

GAP STUDY RESULTS – MILWAUKEE AVENUE

Proposed Development Plan

As proposed, the existing building will be converted to a church to accommodate approximately

100 members. Services will be held on Sundays at 8:30 A.M. and 11:00 A.M., a Friday evening

service at 8:00 P.M. and a Bible study class will also be held on Thursday at 7:30 P.M. In the

future, the church building will also be utilized for a pre-school daycare facility for up to 30

children. Access to the site will continue to be provided a single full movement access drive located

approximately 110 feet south of the Abt Electronics right-in/right-out access drive. This access

drive provides one inbound lane and one outbound lane. Left-turning movements from Milwaukee

Avenue onto the access drive will continue to be accommodated via the existing center left-turn

lane. Approximatley 75 parking spaces will continue to be provided.

Directional Distribution

The directions from which members of the Canaan Presbyterian Church will approach and depart

the site were estimated based on existing travel patterns, as determined from the traffic counts. The

existing traffic counts indicated that approximately 50 percent of the traffic on Milwaukee Avenue

travels to/from the north and 50 percent of the traffic travels to/from the south.

Estimated Site Traffic Generation

The volume of traffic that will be generated by the proposed development is based on the type of land

uses and the size of the development. The number of peak hour vehicle trips estimated to be generated

by the proposed church and future day care center is based on vehicle trip generation rates contained

in Trip Generation Manual, 10

th

Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).

Land-Use Codes 560 and 565 rates were used to estimate the trips to be generated by the church and

day care, respectively. The ITE Trip Generation Sheets are included in the Appendix. Table 2 shows

the site-generated traffic volumes for the proposed development.

53 Total Projected Traffic Volumes

The estimated weekday morning, evening and Sunday midday peak hour traffic volumes that will

be generated by the proposed development were assigned to the roadway system in accordance

with the previously described directional distribution.

Additionally, the existing traffic volumes were increased by a regional growth factor to account

for the increase in existing traffic related to regional growth in the area (i.e., not attributable to any

particular planned development). Based on ADT projections provided by the Chicago

Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) the existing traffic volumes were increased by

approximately 0.75 percent per year for six years (approximately 4.5 percent total) to project Year

2024 conditions (one-year buildout plus five years). It should be noted that the regional growth

factor was only applied to the through volumes along Milwaukee Avenue.

The development-generated traffic volumes were added to the background traffic volumes to

determine the Year 2024 traffic volumes. The existing and Year 2024 total projected traffic

volumes are illustrated in Figure 3.

Traffic Analyses

Roadway and adjacent or nearby intersection analyses were performed for the weekday morning,

weekday evening and Sunday midday peak hours for the existing (Year 2018) and projected (Year

2024) traffic volumes.

The traffic analyses were performed using the methodologies outlined in the Transportation

Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 2010 and analyzed using the HCS &

computer software. The analyses for the unsignalized intersections determine the average control

delay to vehicles at an intersection. Control delay is the elapsed time from a vehicle joining the

queue at a stop sign (includes the time required to decelerate to a stop) until its departure from the

stop sign and resumption of free flow speed. The methodology analyzes each intersection approach

controlled by a stop sign and considers traffic volumes on all approaches and lane characteristics.

The ability of an intersection to accommodate traffic flow is expressed in terms of level of service,

which is assigned a letter from A to F based on the average control delay experienced by vehicles

passing through the intersection. The Highway Capacity Manual definitions for levels of service

and the corresponding control delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections are included in

the Appendix of this report.

Summaries of the traffic analysis results showing the level of service and overall intersection delay

(measured in seconds) for the existing and Year 2024 total projected conditions for the study area

intersections are presented in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. A discussion of the operation of the

intersections follows. Summary sheets for the capacity analyses are included in the Appendix.

Discussion and Recommendations

The following summarizes how the intersections are projected to operate and identifies any

roadway and traffic control improvements necessary to accommodate the development-generated

traffic.

Milwaukee Avenue with Abt Electronics Access Drives

The results of the capacity analysis indicate that the full movement access drive serving Abt

Electronics currently operates at level of service (LOS) C during the weekday morning peak hour,

LOS F during the weekday evening peak hour and at LOS E Sunday midday peak hour.

Additionally, the westbound approach currently operates at LOS C during the weekday morning

peak hour, LOS F during the weekday evening peak hour ant at LOS B during the Sunday midday

peak hour. However, the levels of service and delay experienced during the weekday evening peak

hour is expected for access driveways that have unsignalized intersections with arterial roadways

such as Milwaukee Avenue. Under Year 2024 projected conditions, the eastbound and westbound

approaches are projected to continue operating at existing levels of service during the weekday

morning, weekday evening and Sunday midday peak hours. The increases in delay experienced at

this intersection are primarily attributed to the background growth factor as the proposed

development is projected to increase the traffic traversing this intersection by less than one-half

percent during the weekday morning and evening peak hours and by approximatley one percent

during the Sunday midday peak hour.

The northbound left-turn movements are projected to operate at LOS C or better during peak hours

with increases in delay of less than one second and 95

th

_{percentile queues of one to two vehicles}

which will continue to be accommodated by the exiting northbound left-turn lane on Milwaukee

Avenue. The southbound left-turn movements are projected to operate at LOS B during the peak

hours with increases in delay of less than one second and 95

th

_{percentile queues of one to two}

vehicles which will continue to be accommodated by the existing center left-turn lane provided on

Milwaukee Avenue.

Eastbound right-turn movements from the right-in/right-out access drive onto Milwaukee Avenue

currently operate at LOS B during the weekday morning and Sunday midday peak hours and at

LOS C during the weekday evening peak hour. Under Year 2024 projected conditions, the

eastbound right-turn movements are projected to continue operating at existing levels of service

with increases in delay of less than one second and 95

th

percentile queues of one to two vehicles.

As such, the traffic projected to be generated by the proposed development will have a limited

impact on the operations of the access drives serving Abt Electronics and no roadway or traffic

control improvements will be required.

(36)

Milwaukee Avenue with Site Access Drive

The results of the capacity analysis indicate that outbound movements from the site access drive

onto Milwaukee Avenue are projected to operate at LOS D during the weekday morning and

weekday evening peak hours and at LOS C during the Sunday midday peak hour with 95

th

percentile queues of one to two vehicles. Furthermore, southbound left-turn movements from

Milwaukee Avenue onto the site access drive are projected to operate at LOS B during the peak

hours with 95

th

percentile queues of one to two vehicles. As such, the existing access drive serving

the site will be adequate in accommodating the traffic projected to be generated by the proposed

church and day care and the existing center left-turn lane will be adequate in accommodating the

southbound left-turning movements onto the access drive.

Gap Study Evaluation

Tables 5 shows the number of potential movements based on the number of available gaps

compared to the number of required gaps that are needed to accommodate the projected traffic

turning between Milwaukee Avenue and the site access drive. As shown in Table 5, there are more

than sufficient gaps in traffic to accommodate the westbound left turns and westbound right turns

from the site access drive onto Milwaukee Avenue, and the southbound left turns from Milwaukee

Avenue onto the site access drive during the weekday morning, weekday evening and Sunday

midday peak hours of adjacent roadway traffic. This indicated that the intersection of Milwaukee

Avenue with the site access drive will operate adequately.

Parking Evaluation

Based on Village of Glenview municipal code, churches are required to provide one parking space

for each three seats or bench seating spaces. With 100 total members (assuming 100 seats) a total

of 34 parking spaces will be required. The site currently provides a total of 75 parking spaces

meeting the Village requirement, resulting in a surplus of 41 parking spaces. Additionally, the

proposed parking ratio of 0.75 spaces per attendee exceeds the average and 85

th

percentile peak

parking demand for churches of 0.45 spaces per attendee and 0.60 spaces per attendee,

respectively, based on information published in the ITE Parking Generation Manual. As such, the

proposed apartment development will provide a sufficient number of parking spaces to

accommodate its projected parking demand.

Conclusion

Based on the preceding evaluation, the following is concluded:

• The proposed development traffic can be accommodated by the existing adjacent roadway

system.

• The intersections of Milwaukee Avenue with the Abt Electronics full movement and

right-in/right-out access drives have sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic

projected to be generated by the proposed development.

• The provision of one inbound lane and outbound lane coupled with the provision of the

center left-turn lane on Milwaukee Avenue will provide sufficient capacity to

accommodate the development generated traffic.

• Adequate gaps exist in the Milwaukee Avenue traffic stream to accommodate the projected

left and/or right turning movements from proposed full movement access drive.

• The existing 75 on-site parking spaces will be adequate in accommodating the projected

parking demand.
