INTRODUCTION
This zoning request is being made by Mr. J. T. Dunkin on behalf of
James M. Brown, Trustee for the Alma 121 Limited Trust. The proper-
ty is located along State Highway 121 on the west side of Cottonwood
Creek. The enclosed Illustration A shows the location of the property
in relation to the current Allen Land Use Plan.
As can
be seen from this illustration, most of the tract is
located within
the area designated as Special Development District 2 on the Compre-
hensive
Plan.
According to the Comprehensive Plan,
this area is
designated for
"high and low intensity offices, retail and
services, and
selected
high
quality light industry (page 28, Allen
Comprehensive
Plan).
These
are the uses proposed in this request.
uses
From Illustration B, it can be seen that most of the tract has been
designated as Corridor Commercial. Uses in this classification include
the retail, office, and light industrial uses listed on page 32 of the
Comprehensive Plan. These uses are more specifically detailed in the
attached standards for each tract.
The other two use classifications proposed in this request are Office
and Industrial Technology. Both of these uses are continuations of the
zoning recently approved on the Bryan Bush property along the south
side of this tract.
A traffic
study was prepared
along with this request
to assess
the
impact of
the proposed uses on
area traffic. As can be
seen from
the
enclosed
study, traffic patterns were analyzed both in
terms of
this
property,
and in terms of this
property combined with
the land
uses
zoned in
the Bryan Bush property
adjacent to this tract.
Figure
8 of
the Traffic Study shows that
the aggregated traffic
projected
for
thoroughfares on this tract will
still have some excess capacity based on
a C level
of service.
As can be seen from Table 3 of the Traffic Study, the total daily trips
expected to be generated by this development is 50,041. This trip
generation was based on several development assumptions (Table 1).
These assumptions include:
1. The site will be developed with a mixture of uses as determined by
market conditions at the time of development.
2. Different land uses would be developed at different Floor Area
Ratios (FAR). More specifically; Office uses would be developed
at a 1:1 FAR, Retail uses at a .3:1 FAR, Industrial Technology
uses at a .5:1 FAR, and Garden Office uses at a .5:1 FAR.
Through discussion with City staff and the Planning Commission, sever-
al other development scenarios were examined for comparison. The first
scenario was that the tract was developed entirely for office uses. In
the second scenario, the tract was examined if developed entirely for
retail use. The following table summarizes these findings:
1
TRAFFIC GENERATED BY DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS
Daily Traffic
Scenario Use FAR Generation
Office 1:1 49,047
2 Retail .3:1 50,217
The table shows that even if the tract were developed for entirely retail
use, the traffic generated would just slightly exceed the 50,041 trips
generated by the original assumption. Therefore, it is proposed that
the ultimate development of this tract be related to this traffic estima-
tion. More specifically:
Site plans submitted on all or portions of this tract will be
required to maintain a level of traffic which does not exceed the
50,041 daily trips estimated in the enclosed Traffic Study for the
entire property. To achieve this level of traffic, uses have been
assumed to follow floor area ratios of: 1:1 for office development;
.3:1 for retail development; and .5:1 for garden office and light
industrial uses. These FAR's are considered to be subject to
revaluation in the future as traffic generation can be more accu-
rately projected for specific site uses or traffic generation stan-
dards change prior to site plan approval. Any adjustment would
not cause traffic volumes to exceed 50,041 vehicles per day. If in
the future, the city adjusts its design standards to allow a level of
service (L.O.S.) other than L.O.S. "C", these FAR's can be
adjusted to reflect the adjusted level of traffic.
In addition to these restrictions, the FAR in Tract 3 has been limited to
.5:1 regardless of the type of use which ultimately occurs. This has
been done to allow for a gradual reduction in the intensity of use as
development moves farther away from State Highway 121.
The accompanying standards and the previously mentioned traffic re-
strictions should provide a controlled, yet flexible land use pattern to
develop on this site. It will allow the market to dictate the actual
uses, while providing the necessary controls to insure a quality devel-
opment regardless of the ultimate use. The above FAR and traffic
levels have also been included in the Development Policy for this
planned development.

DEVELOPMENT POLICY
Prior to the development of any parcel or tract of this site, it is
proposed that the owner shall have completed his share of the paving
and drainage improvements of the following major thoroughfares on this
property: an un -named thoroughfare bisecting the property from State
Highway 121 to the southern boundary of the tract, and the portion of
Ridgeview Drive which runs across the southeast portion of the proper-
ty. These improvements do not include any overpass required across
S.H. 121 on any bridge required on Ridgeview Drive across Cottonwood
Creek. Any related major water or sewer facility to such street im-
provements are also proposed to be completed prior to site development.
Site plans submitted on all or portions of this tract will be required to
maintain a level of traffic which does not exceed the 50,041 daily trips
estimated in the enclosed Traffic Study for the entire property. To
achieve this level of traffic, uses have been assumed to follow floor
area ratios of: 1:1 for office development; .3:1 for retail development;
and .5:1 for garden office and light industrial uses. These FAR's are
considered to be subject to revaluation in the future as traffic gen-
eration can be more accurately projected for specific site uses or traffic
generation standards change prior to site plan approval. Any adjust-
ment would not cause traffic volumes to exceed 50,041 vehicles per day.
11
If in the future, the city adjusts its design standards to allow a level
of service (L. O. S.) other than L.O.S. "C", these FAR's can be adjust-
ed to reflect the adjusted level of traffic.
If, in the future, any of the thoroughfares are shifted due to engineer-
ing, or other reasons, all zoning districts will shift with the centerline
of the thoroughfare.

A mixed-use development has been proposed for a 103 acre site located
in the western portion of Allen, Texas. Specifically, the site is located
south of SH 121 and east of the existing Stacy Road. The site location is
shown in Figure 1.
This study was conducted to address the traffic related issues of site
accessibility, projected traffic volumes generated by the development (site
traffic), and roadway capacity. The findings and conclusions of this study
are presented in the chapters of this report that follow.

SITE ACCESSIBn '
The major factors which affect accessibility of a site are its
geographic location with respect to other areas of activity and the
efficiency and directions of the roadway system serving the site. The
roadway system efficiency is a function of travel time and available roadway
capacity.
The development site is located in west Allen. Areas to the south,
west, and north are primarily residential. Areas to the east contain
residential, commercial, retail, and office land uses.
Several planned major thoroughfares, in addition to SH 121, provide
good access to the development. These roads and their ultimate size are
illustrated in Figure 2 and discussed below.
State Highway 121 (SH 121) is a major east/west freeway that borders a
portion of the proposed development on the north. This freeway serves as an
important link between northern Collin County, the Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, and Tarrant County. The roadway is currently
constructed as a two-lane rural highway but is proposed to become a six -lane
controlled -access freeway with one-way frontage roads. As proposed, the
freeway would have interchanges with Stacy Road, a new north/south roadway,
and Watters Road in the vicinity of the site. SH 121 serves as a major
route to Allen and will likewise serve as a major route to the proposed
development.
Watters Road is a proposed north/south thoroughfare that will be
located east of the site. This thoroughfare, planned as a six -lane divided
roadway, will extend from beyond its interchange with SH 121 southward- to
Bethany Road.
Ridgeview Drive is a proposed six -lane divided thoroughfare that will
parallel SH 121 in the vicinity of the site. At -grade intersections with
all major thoroughfares in the area, as well as a grade -separated
interchange with US 75 east of the site will provide excellent access to the
site for vehicles approaching from the east, west, and south.
North/South Roadway is a proposed six -lane divided thoroughfare that
will begin south of Ridgeview Drive and extend through the site to SH 121.
With its proposed interchange with SH 121, this thoroughfare will serve as
the major access roadway to the proposed development.

n
Stacy Road, as proposed, would be relocated from its present alignment
bordering the site, westward approximately 3700 feet. From its proposed
interchange with SH 121 the roadway will follow a southeastern alignment to
Ridgeview Drive. South of Ridgeview the roadway will follow a east/west
alignment to an interchange with US 75.
The impact of traffic generated by the proposed development on the area
roadway system is a function of the volume of traffic generated by the site,
and the directional distribution of site -generated traffic. This section of
the report provides information concerning the trip generation
characteristics of the proposed development, and the assignment of the
expected site traffic to the area roadway system.
Site Traffic
Traffic projections were prepared for the proposed development based on
the types of land uses proposed for the site and on typical traffic
generation rates found in the Institute of Transportation Engineers
publication entitled Trip Generation. This recognized standard for trip
generation is based on actual surveys (traffic counts) of existing types of
development.
The proposed zoning for the site is shown in Figure 3. The development
sizes for each tract are detailed in Table 1. The trip generation rates
used for the proposed development are given in Table 2.

Traffic Assignment
The daily traffic volumes expected to be generated by the proposed
development were assigned to the area roadway system using the estimated
directional distribution shown in Figure 4. Figure 5 gives the results of
this assignment.
As an additional analysis, the expected traffic volumes on the area
roadway system that will be generated by the Bryan Bush and Betsy Bush
tracts, south of the site, were added to the volumes generated by the
proposed development. The results are shown in Figure 6.

Capacity defines the volume of traffic that can be accommodated by a
roadway based on its width, traffic signals, parking conditions, and several
other factors. Capacity is measured using a term called Level of Service
(LOS). Operation features on a given street can range from IAS A (free
flowing) to LOS F (stopped condition) as described in Table 4.
IAS C is a good goal to attain in designing a street system and
thoroughfare plan, although most of the larger cities accept IAS D for
design and evaluation purposes.
The Thoroughfare Plan for the North Central Texas Region, prepared for
the North Central Texas Council of Governments, contains information on 24-
hour traffic volumes for LOS C for various sizes of thoroughfare streets.
Listed below are the LOS C 24-hour volumes for the proposed thoroughfares
that serve as access to the proposed development.
-- Minor Six -Lane Divided (i.e., Ridgeview, Watters, New Road) -
33,600 vehicles per day [vpd])
-- Minor Four -Lane Divided (i.e., old Stacy Road) - 20,000 vpd
-- Two -Lane one-way frontage road - 11,200 vpd
Projected 24-hour traffic volumes for the thoroughfares that serve the
proposed development were compared with LOS C volumes for both traffic
assignments (Figures 5 and 6). These comparisons are shown in Figures 7 and
8 where projected traffic volumes are shown as a percentage of the LOS C
capacity of the thoroughfare. All projected volumes are less than capacity,
with the highest percentage of traffic (65% for site traffic and 88% for
aggregated traffic) being along the north/south roadway between SH 121 and
Ridgeview.

Based on the results of this traffic study for the proposed
development, the following conclusions can be drawn.
-- The location of the proposed development in relation to SH 121
allows the majority of vehicles accessing the site to use the
proposed controlled access freeway; reducing the impact on area
roadways.
-- The proposed thoroughfare system will accommodate the projected
traffic of the proposed development.
-- Additional capacity is available on the area thoroughfare for
development of additional properties that will use the same
thoroughfares .
