Transportation Impacts — Narrative Supplement
February 15, 2021
Transportation Impacts:
Collina Farm
Please see Sheet 5 of the concept plan for general layout and circulation of Collina Farm. Guests will access the site from
Route 729 North Milton Road. The required 500' sight distance for a 45 mph road is demonstrated on sheet X; this
concept plan notes that vegetation will be removed as required by VDOT to ensure there is adequate sight distance.
The trip generation estimates for this proposed use were derived from the anticipated number of guests and
employees/vendors that are anticipated to be on the property during special events. As aforementioned in this project
narrative, this special use permit requests approval of events on the Collina parcel allowing up to 300 guests; using these
parameters two thresholds for daily trip generation were evaluated for events with up to 300 guests.
There are no direct trip generation comparisons for a special events use available in the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 10`s Edition and so anticipated trip generation numbers were informed by the
Albemarle County minimum parking requirements for special events. Per See.18-4.12.6 of the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance, special event venues must provide one parking space per 2.5 participants, plus one space per employee
(includes staff, caterers, musicians and vendors). Using this standard to inform trip generation, it is estimated an event
with 300 participants and 20 event staff will generate approximately 280 daily trips [((300/2.5) + 20) x 2 = 280]. Due to
the nature of the proposed events which will start and end on the same calendar day, it is anticipated that most, if not all,
trips will arrive and leave in the same day contributing to two trips per vehicle per day.

Clifton Inn
Please see Sheet 6 of the concept plan for general layout and circulation of Clifton Inn. Guests will access the site from
Route 729 North Milton Road from the existing entrance.
The trip generation estimates for this proposed use were derived from the anticipated number of guests and
employees/vendors that are anticipated to be on the property during special events. As aforementioned in this project
narrative, this special use permit requests approval of events on the Clifton allowing up to 75 guests; using these
parameters two thresholds for daily trip generation were evaluated and events with up to 75 guests.
There are no direct trip generation comparisons for a special events use available in the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual I Edition and so anticipated trip generation numbers were informed by the
Albemarle County minimum parking requirements for special events. Per See.18-4.12.6 of the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance, special event venues must provide one parking space per 2.5 participants, plus one space per employee
(includes staff, caterers, musicians and vendors). Using this standard to inform trip generation, it is estimated an event
with 75 participants and 6 event staff will generate approximately 280 daily trips [((75/2.5) + 6) x 2 = 72]. Due to the
nature of the proposed events which will start and end on the same calendar day, it is anticipated that most, if not all, trips
will arrive and leave in the same day contributing to two trips per vehicle per day.
