Subject: Tahoma Boulevard Apartments – Yelm Traffic Assessment
The intent of this assessment serves to provide trip generation analysis for the proposed
development of 80 apartment units in the city of Yelm. The subject site is located on 4.99-
acre parcel #: 21724420200. A description of the project summary is provided below.
Proposed Project
Tahoma Boulevard Apartments is a proposed apartment development consisting of 80
multi-family dwelling units located in the city of Yelm. The subject site is comprised within
4.99-acre parcel #: 21724420200. Currently on-site, there is an existing single-family
residence that will be demolished prior to new site development. The subject site is
situated on the south side of Tahoma Boulevard SE and southwest from Berry Valley Drive
SE. Access to the subject property is proposed via a new roadway currently under
construction as part of the adjacent Wyndstone Apartments development to the west. A
conceptual site plan illustrating the project configuration and access is shown in Figure 2.

Transit Service
A review of the Intercity Transit regional system map indicates the nearest transit route in
the area is served via Route 94. Service is provided from the Olympia Transit Center to the
Yelm Walmart from the hours of 7:20 AM to 8:45 PM. The nearest stop with respect to the
subject site is located at the intersection of Tahoma Boulevard SE / Killion Road SE & SR-
510 (~0.25 miles northeast), offering 30 to 60-minute headways during peak travel times.
Weekend service is also provided. Refer to the Intercity Transit route schedule for more
detailed information.
Trip Generation
Trip generation is defined by the number of vehicular movements that enter or exit a
site during a particular timeframe such as a specific peak hour or an entire day. Trip
generation estimates are based on data from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th
Edition. Corresponding the proposed development with ITE data, the following land use of
LUC 221 – Multi-Family Mid-Rise was applied. Attached to this document are excerpts
from the ITE manual for the utilized land use. Table 1 below summarizes the estimated trip
volumes using average rates.

The proposed development of 80 multi-family units is estimated to generate 29 AM and 35
PM peak hour trips, respectively. The removal of the existing on-site single-family
residence would result in net new peak hour trips of 28 AM and 34 PM peak hour trips,
respectively.
Figure 3 on the following page illustrates the project’s trip distribution and assignment
using total project trips. The main arterial route to and from the subject site is by way of
Tahoma Boulevard SE providing connection to SR 510.

Proposed Access
Access to the site is proposed via two new driveways on a newly constructed roadway
bordering the site to the west identified as “ROAD A” in the provided site plan. The new
roadway (as part of the Wyndstone Apartments development) extends south from Tahoma
Blvd SE and was designed to current City of Yelm standards. Sufficient sight distance was
shown to be available along Tahoma Blvd SE.
Conclusion
Tahoma Boulevard Apartments proposes for the construction of 80 new multi-family
apartment units in the city of Yelm. The subject site is located on the south side of Tahoma
Boulevard SE with a site address of 15035 Berry Valley Road. On-site exists one single-
family dwelling and a detached garage that would be removed for new development.
Based on ITE data, the project is estimated to generate a net increase of 426 average
weekday daily trips with 28 trips occurring in the AM peak hour and 34 trips in the PM peak
hour.
The project would be subject to City of Yelm Transportation Facilities Charge which are
assessed at a cost of $1,497.00 per new PM peak hour trip. An estimated fee is therefore
as follows:
34 net new PM peak hour trips x $1,497.00/trip = $50,898.00.
Exact fees and calculations will be determined by the City with current fee schedules at the
time of building permit issuance.
Please call if you require anything further.

Aaron Van Aken, P.E., PTOE
