EXHIBIT C Executive Summary This report presents a summary of the analysis and findings of a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) performed by Voigt Associates, Inc. for the proposed Generational Commercial 16 Street Warehouse/Distribution Center, to be located on the th southeast corner of 16 Street and West N Street (with the future M Street along the th north site frontage) in La Porte, Texas. The proposed site is currently undeveloped land. The proposed development will consist of a single building of about 193,586 square feet, consisting of a majority of warehouse space, with ancillary offices on the west side of the building. The site will provide about 135 parking spaces, with 52 truck bays total, equally divided between south and north sides of the facility. It was assumed for this study that the development is built-out and occupied in 2018. The site is proposed to have two access driveways to South 16 th of the north access driveway. Exhibit A1 shows the Site Location Map, Exhibit A2 presents the Proposed Site Layout, and Exhibit A3 shows the Proposed Site Layout on an aerial background. The scope of this study included collection of traffic data; determination of an estimate of the number of trips that may be generated by the proposed development for passenger vehicles and trucks; trip distribution and assignment of the new trips (for both passenger vehicles and trucks) to and from the existing roadway network; Level of Service analysis to determine the impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding roadway network for the study horizon; preparing recommendations for off-site roadway improvements, if necessary, to accommodate the estimated new traffic to the site and maintain acceptable or current levels of service; and preparing recommendations with respect to on-site circulation and driveway spacing per Harris County and City of La Porte guidelines. As an overall conclusion, the traffic operations impact of the development can be mitigated considering the amount of traffic the site is assumed to generate and the capacity available on the roadway network.
