Cost per Trip X Number of Development Trips = SDC for Development Where: Cost per Trip = Cost per Trip (reimbursement) + Cost per Trip (improvement), and Number of Development Trips = Trip Generation Rate X Pass-by Adjustment X Development Size (based upon the unit of measure). Table B-9, which is located in Appendix F, shows the assumptions for the SDC rate schedule, including the total cost per trip and the trip rates and adjustments by land use category. 4.2 Assigned Trip Generation Rates The standard practice in the transportation industry is to use information contained in the Trip Generation Manual, as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) to calculate the SDCs for individual developments. ITE trip rates by land use category are based on studies from around the country, and, in the absence of local data, represent the best available source of trip data for specific land uses. Pass-by trip adjustments to ITE trip rates have been applied to the ITE trip rates. Also referred to as linked trips or trip chaining, pass-by trips refer to trips that occur when a motorist is already on the roadway (as in the case of a traveler stopping by a fast food restaurant on the way home from work.) In this case, the motorist making a stop while “passing by” is counted as a trip generated by the restaurant, but it does not represent a new trip on the roadway. Pass-by adjustments are provided for those uses included in the Trip Generation Manual. An applicant may choose to submit a request for an alternative pass-by adjustment through the Alternate Calculation method. Except when the City Engineer has approved an applicant’s election to use the Alternate Trip Generation Calculation method or an alternative pass-by adjustment, the City Engineer shall apply rates included in the Transportation Trip Rates table, Table B-9, which is located in Appendix F. Descriptions for the land use categories included in Table B-9 are included in Appendix A and are based upon ITE land use categories. A land use category may be assigned by the City Engineer should a proposed use not be accurately represented by one of the published transportation use codes. In addition, trip rates for published use codes may be alternatively assigned as best available information in the case that a revised ITE trip rate is published prior to an administrative modification to the Transportation Trip Rates Table (Table B-9).
