Re: Christensen’s Furniture SPR-04-8356-YL
Dear Mr. Christensen:
The City of Yelm currently uses the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual, 5th Edition for trip generation rates. Based on Land Use #890, Furniture Store, the
new PM peak hour trips generated by a furniture store is 0.39 new trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
The City also provides for a reduction for existing pass-by trips generated. For the City of Yelm’s Traffic Facilities Charge, the new PM peak hour trips per 1,000 sq. ft. is 0.23.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Assistant Planner
