There are no <br />known approved development projects that will have a significant impact on <br />this development. <br />C. Historical Traffic Growth <br />Historical growth traffic is the increase in traffic volumes due to usage increases <br />and non- specific growth throughout the area. For this project, non - school <br />volumes were increased by 2% percent per year to reflect anticipated <br />background traffic volumes. These traffic volumes are illustrated on Figure 6 as <br />background traffic volumes. <br />D. Total Traffic <br />To obtain total 2016 Build Out traffic volumes, the distributed additional site traffic <br />was added to the 2016 No Build traffic volumes. The AM peak -hour turning <br />movements for the studied access drive and intersection were then calculated <br />and analyzed for the Build Out year.
