SUBJECT: ZMA201800002 Hansen Road Office Comments
The Albemarle County Community Development Department, Planning Division, Principle Planner for
Transportation has reviewed the above referenced plan and associated traffic impact statement as
submitted by Shimp Engineering P.C. (June 2018) and would like to submit the following statement:
The content of the Traffic Impact Statement is inadequate for use as an assessment of the potential traffic
impacts related to this rezoning. There is no analysis of directional distribution or expected queues at any
of the intersections and the assumptions of potential peak hour traffic volumes from existing and project
generated sources is not well substantiated.
However, review of the project and general information provided on existing and expected generated
traffic, staff does not believe that the project will result in a negative impact on traffic operations near the
site. The minor increase in daily and peak hour traffic volumes (453 daily trips and 57 AM/60 PM peak
hour trips from both the office and church) will not noticeably affect operations at the intersections of
Hansen Road or Rolkin Road and therefore staff has no objection to the proposal.
If you have any questions regarding this statement, please feel free to contact me.
