(WACE) to conduct a traffic impact study for a proposed Bu·rger King re~.taurant to be located within Culpepper Plaza in College. Station~ Texas. The purpose of -the study wa's to examine the_ impact that "the proposed restaura~t ., ~uld' have ·on ·the parking demand at Cul pepper Plaza and··tr-affic ,.. flow on the surrounding streets. .. Culpepper Plaza is one of College Station's major shopping centers due in part to a location which is convenient to a large I number of customers. The proximity of the shopping center to Texas ~ > • A&M University and the resid~nti·al areas of College Station makes .. ·the location attractive to ma'ny types of business establishments, as witnessed by the continued growth in the number of businesses in the immediate area. Due to the very active business environment, Burger King Corporation felt obligated to have a traffic impact study conducted to determine if further development in Culpepper Plaza ~uld create traffic congestion or excessive parking demands beyo.nd the shopping center's capability to handle those demands. This report summarizes the findings of that study. 1 . . . ··' EXISTING CONDITIONS Burger King Corporation has expressed a desire to locate a new restaurant in College Station, Texas. The preferred location of this ' new restaurant is in Culpepper Plaza, one of College Station's major shopping centers. The immediate area around .Culpepper Plaza combines a wide variety of businesses with t\ttU of the most heavily traveled streets in College Station, thu'S creating a· shopping area very ' attractive to both business· establ istvnents and customers. Cu.lpepper Plaza is located in the northeast corner of 1:he .~ _- intersection of Texas Avenue (S.H. Business 6) and Harvey Road (S.H. 30). See Figure 1. Access''tl) the shopping center is available . . from both of these adjacent s~reets as well as from Dominik Drive, a coll..ector street adjacent to the north side of the c-enter. 1exas ' A&M University, College Sta~ion Cit~ Hall, other shopping centers and businesses, a large numb~.r of apartment complexes, and several . residential neighborhoods are all located within one mile of Culpepper Plaza. In order to determine the volume of traffic which travels adjacent to Culpepper Plaza, 24-hour volume counts were made with mechanical counters on the three roadways during the period of March 21-23, 984. (See Table I and Figure 2). The resulting counts show / that approximately 60,000 vehicles travel by the shopping center every 2 / < ' \. ' i' ( ) / / NO SCALE '" ·r. I .

As would be expected, Texas Avenue was found to have the heaviest volume of traffic with over 33,000 vehicles per day. Of this total, 57% was southbound and 43% northbound. Although high for this type of roadway {four lane, with semi-continuqus left turn lane), it is not unusual. The City of College Station traffic engineer reports that over 45,000 vehicles per day travel on Texas Avenue, half a mile to the north of Cul pepper Plaza.-· Harvey Road . ~as found to have 24-hour volumes in excess of 21,000 vehicles. This is more in line with what .would be expected on this ty.pe of roadway {four lane, with _continuous left turn lane). The directional ·split is almost equa1 ··oh Ha~vey Road. . ~ Finally, the 24-hour volume on Dominik Drive is over &tl1'0 vehicles. > The eastbound traffic makes up 56% of the total, while 44% of the .. traffic on Dominik Drive tr.aveJs westbound. Dominik Drive has a lower traffic volume due to its elassification as a collector street. The I main function of this two-lane street is to carry traffic to a major arterial {Texas Avenue) or fQ the -re-sidential areas east of Cul pepper .. ·Plaza. The traffic volumes me~sured in this study were made on an average day and therefore some variations in the volumes can be expected due to daily and seasonal changes. Access to Culpepper Plaza can be achieved from any of the three adjacent streets using any one of seven entry/exit points. Three of these access points are located along Harvey Road, two along 1exas Avenue, and t\'K> along IX>minik Drive. Turning mov.ement counts were made at the seven locations during t\'K> distinct time periods to establish..entry and exit patterns of the vehicles visiting Culpepper 6 . •, ... • Plaza. Counts were made during the lunch hour (noon-1 :00 p.m.) and during the peak evening hour (4:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.), the two time periods with the heaviest concentration of movements into and out of the shopping center (See Table II and Figures 3 & 4). The results of the turning movement counts indicate that more vehicles entered and exited Cu.lpepper Plaz~. during the evening peak than the 1 unch hour. Of th~ tota .. 1 number · of vehicles entering the center durin'g both lunch and. the evening "peak hours, almost ha)f (48%) . entered from Texas Avenue, approxi~ately a quarter (24%) 'en_tered from Harvey Road, and approximately a quarter (28%) entered~rrom Dominik Drive . ,. It was interesting to .find 'that the three adjacent roadways are almost equally used by exiting vehicles, and vehicles exiting Culpepper ~laza ~re turning ~ ·!. .. that almost 70% of the right. ( ~~---Vvu-~ ~--~,.....-{-. / A parking study of Culpe~per Plaza was made to determine the utilization of various sections of the shopping center parking lot. The parking area within Culpepper Plaza was divided into seven sections using natural barriers (See Figure 5) and counts were made at twenty- three different times to determine relative parking utilization rates for each section. The counts were made at half-hour intervals during periods of peak parking demand. The results of the study, shown in Table III, indicate that the major (or frontal) parking area in Culpepper Plaza (Sections I-VI), was always less than 60% full, 7 lunch Hour Noon-1 :00 Enter From Exit Onto Evening Peak 4:30-5:30 (, Enter From Exit Onto TABLE II TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS CULPEPPER PLAZA Texas Avenue Harvey Road 258/48% 149/28%. 127/30% 182/43.% 295/48% 132/21 % 162/29% 202/35% ,. ..

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PARKING REQUIREMENTS The current City of College Station Zoning Ordinance requires 1/3 parking spaces for every seat in a restaurant. Relative to a shopping . center, the same ordinance requires 1 parking space for every 200 square feet plus 1 parking space for every two employees per shift. Culpepper Plaza consists of about 173;S33 square feet of retail businesses and restaurants.· Total restaurant seats equal about 1,081. ' Because the retail and restaurant establishments both "feed" ~ff each other, jt appears that the most logical method of determining parking f • ' .~ _. space requiremen~s \t«>Uld be to consider all of Culpepper Plaza as a shopping center. ,. It is very diffuclut to establish parking spaces for employees ' as stated in the ordinance."' Instead_, the requirement of 5.5 spaces per ·!. . 1,000 square feet of shopping center would seem more appropriate, thus providing 5.0 spaces per l ,·000 square feet for customers, and 0.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet for employees. The 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet is supported by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (I .T.E.) standards, although even 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet of shopping center would seem appropriate as the total requirement for a shopping center as large as Culpepper Plaza. Currently, Culpepper Plaza consists of three building groups (See Figure 5): 15 l. Main Group -The largest and most eastern group of business tenants; 2. West Group -The group of mostly restaurants adjacent to the Holiday Inn; and 3. South Group -The group of r.;ostly restaurants adjacent to the Exxon Station. Specifically, each group requires the number of parking spaces shown in Table V. A total of 1,.075 parking spaces are currently prov_i~ed for Culpepper Plaza, 822 in Se~tions I-VI shown in Figure~ •. and 253 in .-. . ' .\,;. -- Sect ion VII, or f.he area to the east of the Main building group. Since . ,. public access is not provided to the Section VII parking area from the I Main building group, the 253 .spaces can only be used to satisfy the 70-space employee parking requirement for the Main building group as ' shown in iable V. Conseque,,ntly, ·-according to City of College Station -~. ordinances a total of 887 parking spaces should be provided in Sections -~ I-VI of the Culpepper Plaza parking area. Only 822 are provided; hence, the City of College Station ordinance requirements are not currently satisfied. Further discussion of the parking problem is contained in the ANALYSIS section of this report. 16 TABLE V CURRENT CULPEPPER PLAZA PARKING REQUIREMENTS Building Group Square Footage .

Based . on Institute of Transport~tion Engineers (I.T.E.) Trip Generation Rates, a drive-in restaurant facility will generate .. approximately 44.4 entering vehicles per 1,000 square feet of restaurant, and about 41.9 exiting vehicles per 1,000 square feet of restaurar1t during the noon-peak period, its ,peak hour of ge·neration. Similarly, the evening peak hour ' ra.tes for entering and exiting vehicles are 17 .0 and 14.6, · re~pectively . ..: . Utilizing t~se trip generation rates, the proposed Burger King restaurant \t«>uld generate the a~ditional entering and existing vehicles indicated in Table VI. Hence .• the proposed restaurant c.ould increase the number of vehicles entering ,and existing Culpepper Plaza during the noon-peak hour by about 21 percent ~nd 25 percent, respectively. ·!. likewise but at a much smaller magnitude, the proposed restaurant could increase the amount of traffic on the adjacent streets by the amounts shown in Table VI. For illustrative purposes, these generated volumes are shown in Figures 6 and 7. These volumes should be considered as a maximum. Because the proposed restaurant will be located in an existing shopping center, many of its customers will have been attracted to the restaurant after traveling to Culpepper Plaza for other shopping or business purposes. 18 TABLE VI PROPOSED BURGER KING RESTAURANT TRAFFIC GENERATION Restaurant-Generated Existing Volumes Volumes · Percent Increase Lunch Peak-Hour · Entering Plaza 533 111 · 20.8% Exiting Plaza 425 105 24.7% Texas Avenue 2118 85 4.-0% Harvey · Road 1404 76 .. •' S.4% Dominik Drive 531 55 .... 10.4% ..:. .

As discussed in the previous section of this report, Culpepper Plaza currently requires 957 parking spaces according to City of College Station ordinances. The addition of a Burger King restaurant would increase those parking requirements. If ·one considers the restaurant as a separate entity, another 20 spaces (60 seats times 1/3 parking spaces per seat) would be required. However, the City of College Station should consider th_e res.taurant as part of the shopping center. Hence, only 14 additional spaces ·(2,500 square feet times 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet) shouh:f be required. ,. \.! _. Obviously, the construction of the restaurant 'wil\ eliminate some of the existing parking spaces. ,.Discussion of this particular problem ' is contained in the ANALYSIS section of this report. 22 ANALYSIS Traffic Fl ow Impact The proposed Burger King restaurant .will affect the current traffic .volumes entering and leaving Culpepper Plaza, as well as the current volumes on the roadways adjacent to the shopping center. As shown in Table VI, a maximum of 111 add _i_tiona 1 vehicles are expected to enter Culpepper Plaza during the peak lunch-hour, and 105 vehicles are expected to exit the shQPping center during the same time period. T~es~ volumes result in an increase o ercent o ng However, the center · can..: absorb the increased volumes. The 216 vehicles entering and leaving the shopping >' center, when spread over the ho~r period, result in an average of one vehicle entering from . or exiting onto one of the three adjacent an ·!. Similarly, the additional traffic to be generated by Burger King will have minimal impact on the adjacent roadways. As shown in Table VI, the percent traffic volume increases on the roadways are greater during the lunch peak-hour than for the evening peak-hour. However, none of the percent increases on Texas Avenue and Harvey Road can be considered significant. The percent increase on Dominik Drive is higher only because existing volumes on the facility are very low in comparison to Texas Avenue or Harvey Road. In summary, vehicular traffic to be generated by the proposed Burger King restaurant will 23 have only a very minor impact on adjacent roadways and should no create any operational problems.~ W..i L ~\.c\!. · Parking Impact Culpepper Plaza currently has 822 parking spaces in its main pa-rking area and 253 spaces available behind the Main bu .ilding group. The current parking space requi_rements for .. the shopping center is 957 spaces. As previously ment.ioned,· approximately 70 of the rear spaces ·can be . used fo~ employee par-king; conseqc.iently, 887 spaces are .currently ., needed in the center's main parki~g area. The center requtres an . . ~-· additional 65 spaces to satisfy current city ordinances. > ,. The new Burger King restaurant will increase the parking requirement by 14 additional parking spaces. Hence, the total parking requirements will be 971 spaces for the 'center and 901 spaces within the main parking area. ·!. The proposed restaurant will be located within parking Section VI of the center. (See Figure 5.) Currently, that section has 220 parking spaces. If the parking area includes the new restaurant and is restriped as shown in Figure 8, a total of 213 spaces can be provided in parking Section VI. Hence, a net of seven spaces will be lost. Mr. Skipper of the Photo Kwik offices in Dallas has informed this firm that the existing Photo Kwik store in parking Section V will be removed. It is currently closed. Removal of this store will provide 24 u u u ! f N (J"I w u z ct a: I-z w z ct ::E e e PROPOSE BURGER KING REST. ® ... ·r.

Burger King places its restaurant in Culpepper Plaza, if parking Section VI is restriped as shown in Figure 8, and if the Photo Kwik store is removed and an· additional 15 .parking spaces are provided, then the resulting parking space .requirements and provisions for the main Culpepper Plaza parking area will be: , Required Number of Spaces: ~ __ . 887 {C.urrent) + 14 {Burger King) Spaces to be Provided: 822 {Current) +.15 {Gained with Photo Kwik Exit) - 7 {Net .Loss in Parking Section VI) Number Needed to Satisfy Requirements ·!. = 901 = 830 71 Culpepper Plaza is currently ~5 spaces below the number required ·~ by City ordinances. Following construction of the Burger King restaurant with other changes previously noted, the shopping center will be Zl spaces below the required number. This resulting difference of only six spaces is insignificant and it can be said that the proposed Burger King restaurant and parking improvements would keep the parking demand to parking provision ratio at the center essentially equal to current conditions. 26 The question that must be addressed is how bad are current con- ditions. All parking studies for this report were conducted in February and March, 1984. The peak use of the shopping center is at Christmas time. Projections as to what the shopping center's parking utilization rates are during the Christmas season could not be made with any degree of accuracy. All estimates would have been subject to question. It can be said. that the park.ing demand at Christmas time would have to be twice the .Parking demand-found in March before the ,, parking area would have been completely filled. That would, o_f course, . be a ·very significant increase: which is somewhat doubtful, ,...considering that a ·l~rge percentage (abo~t 21 percent) of current ·~~nants are > restaurants which do not have si,gnificantly increased activities during the Christmas season. Additionally, during the pa~t few years, the local Lions Club has .; ),. - been selling Christmas tree!!. in parking Section VI of the main parking area, thereby eliminating abOut 100 parking spaces for use and generating additional traffic into the center. /Apparently, no major problems have occurred as recently as 1982 because the Lions Club was allowed to return in 1983. 1--~..k 0-J ~'~ ~~e\u..~ieV' ·,\I\ ""'1 O'(> iV\\..e:>""' ~ The City of College Station ordinances are established to insure that sufficient parking spaces will be provided in shopping centers. Of course, some tenants generate more customers than others due to the nature of their businesses. Culpepper Plaza has some tenants, including Safeway and Weiners, that do attract a large clientele. However , as 27 a whole, the center does not contain a large number of tenants that fit into this category. Consequently, the existing parking demand is much less than current parking provisions. If the current tenants remain in Culpepper Plaza, Burger King Corporation could locate a restaurant within the shopping center with only minimal effect on existing parking utilization. If new tenants rep ace current tenants, tllen par.king demands could exceed parking provisions. · Should this condition occur in the future, with or without ' . the Burger· King restaurant, then Culpepper Plaza will have to ' provide ,,.. public ·access from the Main building group to the rear~parking area in order to provide·adequate parking spaces. ,. 28 CONCLUSIONS In sunvnary, the conclusions of the Traffic Impact and Parking Study for the proposed Burger King restaurant to be located in Culpepper Plaza are as fol lows: 1. The traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed Burger King restaurant will not sjgnificantly affect traffic flow on adjacent streets nor create any operational problems within the Culpepper Plaza Shopping Center. · ' 2. Assuming that the shopping center's parking Section . VI is restriped as shown _in Figure 8 and that the , existing Photo Kwik store in parking Section ~ is - removed and replaced with additional parking ·s'p'aces, the Burger King restaurant will have very 1 itt'l e impact on the center's ~xisting parking demand to parking provision rati~. 3. Culpepper Plaza existing parking provisions are 65 spaces less than City of College Station ordinance requirements. Followinig construction of the Burger King restaurant wi~h restriping of the parking areas V and VI mentioned-~in. (2) above, Cul pepper Plaza will be 71 spaces less than the ordinance requirements. Considering the large size of the center's parking ar~a, the net change is actually insignificant. 4. As long as the current tenants remain in Culpepper Plaza, Burger King Corporation can locate a restaurant within the center without creating a parking pro bl em. 5. If the current tenants are replaced by businesses that generate substantial traffic volumes, parking demand may exceed parking provisions with or without the presence of the Burger King restaurant. If this condition occurs, public access to the Main building group from the rear parking area should be provided. 29 May 7, 1984 Mr. John Rose Site Development Engineer Burger King Corporation 400 Chisholm Place Suite 400 Plano, Texas 75075 City of College Station POST OFFICE BOX 9960 I IOI TEXAS AVENUE COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840-2499 RE: Proposed Burger Ki ng Restaurant Culpepper Plaza College Station, Texas Dear Mr. Rose: I have received your letter of April 30, 1984, which includes the agreement con- cerning certificates of occupancy . In reference to the term "substantially complete" let me clarify our needs. We can, by ordinance, allow a delay in planting of trees and shrubs if you request a certificatebetween June 15 and September 15. Upon receipt of a letter from you at that time agreeing that you will install the re- maining landscaping by October 15, we will issue the certificate. Groundcover would have to ·be installed at the time of the certificate issuance. All other work, whether on-site or off-site, referred to in the P.R.C. report would have to be completed prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Please be sure to schedule this work accordingly. Also, let me refer briefly to a letter from Mr. John C. Culpepper, Jr., of April 30, 1984, regarding "transient" or itinerant vendors. The Project Review Committee has requi r ed (P,R.C. report point 5) "a written agreement prohibiting itinerant vendors f rom operating from this shopping center parking lot from J. C. Culpepper." The referenced letter not only does not agree to this, it appears to deny the practice in the past. I am answering this letter today because this issue has obviously not been resolved. You may also wish to contact Mr. Culpepper's office. We also need (P.R.C. report point 4) "a written signed agreement" requiring the shop- ping center employees to park in the rear parking area. This has not been received. I would appreciate some correspondence f rom you in response to three concerns out- ! ined herein. Than k you. Respectfully, ~ .. ~~.

(2) Th1s project as planned could cause a potential 25% increase to the number of left turn accidents along Texas Avenue in front of t his shopping center; should an appreciable increase in accidents actually occur, non-mountable barriers may be the result along Texas Avenue in front of this shopping center . . • (3) No detached sign will be allowed for this project. (4) Employees at this project, and. the enti re shopp i ng center are to park in the rear of the shopping center (off Kyle); a written, signed agreement to this effect from J. C. Culpepper is required.

C. Culpepper is required. In order to help upgrade this entire shopping center, the 8 foot set- back required by current ordinance will be required from the property line of this project along Texas Avenue to any paving. Enlarge the islands to a minimum size of 9 ft. x 20 ft. to meet ordinance requirements. Show all dimensions. Add islands on interior rows of parking as shown on plan revised by the Director of Planning to meet ordinance requirements. Show planned landscaping in the islands. The addition of an island at each end of the parking row and in the location of the stairs along the front of the building currently housing the 3-C Barbeque restaurant (9,150 sq. ft. building) is required. Addition of landscaped islands as shown on revised plan drawn by the Director of Planning is required. The bottoms of the new islands should be dirt rather than asphalt or concrete to allow for growth of the ·landscaping which is included in the islands. A 611 raised curb is required along perimeter of the parking lot fronting Harvey Road. (The setback required by ordinance will be waived due to the pre-existence of this shopping center). A revised landscaping plan for this entire shopping center is required. Suggest the removal of asphalt from the bottom of the existing islands and the addition of new topsoil in these islands to help promote life and growth of the landscaping · i·ncluded in them. Suggestion from the Zoning Department is that a mix of tree species is used in this single project (Burger King). Calculate the points for landscaping on the landscape plan, showing the botanical names. (17) Use some type of device as wheelstops for cars to control the overhang. (18) The area by the dumpster must be kept clear of vehicles to allow for access by trucks to the dumpster. (19) Do not use gates In front of dumpster pads. Continued on page 3 P.R.C. report -84-411 Apri 1 25, 1984 page 3 (20) A 50 foot clear turning radius in front of the dumpster is required ·to allow the City trucks room to maneuver.

The agreement would prohibit transient or itinerant vendors from oper- ating within the shopping centers parking lot. It is my understanding that this will be an attempt to control vendors that would use up the available parking. It is not meant to stop non-profit organizations from operating in that area (ie. Girl Scouts selling cookies or MDA soliciting donations, etc.). I would also like to confirm that we have now received a final approval of our site plan. The approval is based upon minor changes in the site layout's latest revision, redlined and initialed by both the City and Burger King Corporation.
