MEMORANDUM
Date: April 15, 2024 TDH Job No.: B24-008
To: Cody Flammond, PE - City of Bozeman Engineering Department
From: Cody Croskey, PE
Subject: 7th & Aspen Affordable Housing – Phases 1&2
Trip Generation and Traffic Impact Study Objectives
The purpose of this memo is to provide average daily and peak hour trip generation
estimates for Phase 1 & 2 of the 7th & Aspen Affordable Housing project and to clarify the
objectives of the forthcoming Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for this project based on recent
directives received from the City Engineering Department.
Phases 1 and 2 will consist of demolishing a house/office and the Aaron’s retail store at
706 and 654 N. 7th Avenue and constructing two new 46 and 50-unit multifamily apartment
buildings. The average day and peak hour vehicle trip generation values for the removed
uses and proposed apartment buildings are attached along with the ITE land use
description and peak hour trip generation sheets for reference.
While the AM and PM peak hour trip generation values for this project are well below the
100 peak hour trip threshold typically used to determine if a traffic impact study is required
for a development, the City Engineering Department is requiring that a traffic impact study
be performed given the location and access off of N. 7th Ave. which is MDT jurisdiction (see
email from Taylor Lonsdale attached).
A formal TIS is currently being developed by the traffic consultant for this project to address
the any specific objectives required by the City and MDT. The study will include an analysis
of this development’s traffic projections and recommendations to address any resulting
improvements needed for safety and operations of the adjacent street network.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require any additional information in the
meantime.
Sincerely,
Cody Croskey PE
Civil Engineer

Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise)
Description
Mid-rise multifamily housing includes apartments and condominiums located in a building that
has between four and 10 floors of living space. Access to individual dwelling units is through an
outside building entrance, a lobby, elevator, and a set of hallways.
Multifamily housing (low-rise) (Land Use 220), multifamily housing (high-rise) (Land Use 222), off-
campus student apartment (mid-rise) (Land Use 226), and mid-rise residential with ground-floor
commercial (Land Use 231) are related land uses.
Land Use Subcategory
Data are presented for two subcategories for this land use: (1) not close to rail transit and (2)
close to rail transit. A site is considered close to rail transit if the walking distance between the
residential site entrance and the closest rail transit station entrance is ½ mile or less.
Additional Data
For the six sites for which both the number of residents and the number of occupied dwelling
units were available, there were an average of 2.5 residents per occupied dwelling unit.
For the five sites for which the numbers of both total dwelling units and occupied dwelling units
were available, an average of 96 percent of the total dwelling units were occupied.
The technical appendices provide supporting information on time-of-day distributions for this
land use. The appendices can be accessed through either the ITETripGen web app or the trip
generation resource page on the ITE website (https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/topics/trip-
and-parking-generation/).
It is expected that the number of bedrooms and number of residents are likely correlated to the
trips generated by a residential site. To assist in future analysis, trip generation studies of all
multifamily housing should attempt to obtain information on occupancy rate and on the mix of
residential unit sizes (i.e., number of units by number of bedrooms at the site complex).
The sites were surveyed in the 1990s, the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s in Alberta (CAN),
California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ontario (CAN), Oregon, Utah, and Virginia.

Small Office Building
Description
A small office building is the same as a general office building (Land Use 710) but with less than
or equal to 10,000 square feet of gross floor area. The building typically houses a single tenant.
It is a location where affairs of a business, commercial or industrial organization, or professional
person or firm are conducted. General office building (Land Use 710) is a related use.
Additional Data
Attorney office, mortgage company, financial advisor, insurance agency, home health care
provider, and real estate company are examples of tenants included in the small office building
database. The diversity of employer types results in a wide range in employee density in the
database. Densities range from a high of 1,300 to a low of 240 square feet per employee with an
overall average of nearly 600 square feet per employee (a value much larger than the average
observed in a general office building study sites).
In addition to the significant difference in employee density, small office buildings tend to be
dominated by a single tenant (or very few) that are more service-oriented than a typical general
office building. The result is more frequent and regular visitors and higher trip generation rates.
The technical appendices provide supporting information on time-of-day distributions for this
land use. The appendices can be accessed through either the ITETripGen web app or the trip
generation resource page on the ITE website (https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/topics/trip-
and-parking-generation/).
The sites were surveyed in the 1980s and the 2010s in Alberta (CAN), California, Texas, and
Wisconsin.

Variety Store
Description
A variety store is a retail store that sells a broad range of inexpensive items often at a uniform
price. A variety store is commonly referred to as a “dollar store.” Items typically sold at a variety
store include kitchen supplies, cleaning products, home office supplies, food products, household
goods, decorations, and toys. The store can be stand-alone or located within a shopping plaza or
strip retail plaza. Free-standing discount store (Land Use 815) is a related use.
Additional Data
The technical appendices provide supporting information on time-of-day distributions for this
land use. The appendices can be accessed through either the ITETripGen web app or the trip
generation resource page on the ITE website (https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/topics/trip-

Hi Cody. We given the locaon we can’t waive a TIS for this. You will need to work with MDT on this one as it takes
access from N 7th Ave which is MDT jurisdicon. We will generally fo llow MDT’s requirements related to a TIS for this
one. A’er you talk with MDT on their requirements lets have a call to discuss further and ensure that MDT and City are
aligned.
You can reach out to Krisna Kilts (kkilts@mt.gov) and Ted Jones (tejones@mt.gov) at MDT to start the process. Krisna
is the Bu/e District Traffic Engineer and Ted Jones is the Bozeman Maintenance Chief.
Please let me know if you have any quesons.

Cody & Taylor,
Please see the a/ached trip generaon esmates for the 7th & Aspen Affordable Mixed-Use Residenal Mulfamily
project located at 706 & 726 N. 7th Avenue. The project phasing is shown below as discussed at the Pre-App Meeng on
January 16th.
- Phase 1 will consist of a new 46-unit residenal bu ilding at 706 N. 7th Avenue.
- Phase 2 will consist of approximately 75 dwelling units and roughly 10,000 SF of undesignated commercial space
at 726 N. 7th Avenue.
2
Phase 1 is expected to generate 15-AM and 15-PM new peak hour trips and Phase 2 is expected to add 54-AM and 56-
PM peak hour trips, respecvely.
As we start the Site Plan process for Phase 1, we would like to know if Phase 1 (and potenally both phases if Master
Planned) qualify for a waiver from the TIS requirement based on the a/ached peak hour trip generaon.
Please reach out with any quesons.
Thanks,
