This development is located to the west of Old NC 86 between <br /> Interstate 40 (1-40)and Davis Road. The development's location is shown in Figure 1. The site plan is shown in <br /> Figure 2. <br /> The site currently consists of undeveloped forested land. Construction of the proposed development is anticipated to <br /> be completed in 2023. At full build-out the site is envisioned to provide 2,251,200 total square feet of industrial <br /> warehousing. <br /> The purpose of this report is to evaluate the development in terms of projected vehicular traffic conditions, evaluate <br /> the ability of the adjacent roadways to accommodate the additional traffic and to recommend transportation <br /> improvements needed to mitigate congestion that may result from additional site traffic.This report presents trip <br /> generation, trip distribution,traffic analyses, and recommendations for improvements needed to meet anticipated <br /> traffic demands.The analysis examines the AM and PM peak hours for the 2020 Existing,2023 No-Build, 2023 Build <br /> without improvements, and 2023 Build with improvements. <br /> A study was conducted for the development referred to as Settler's Pointe in 2017.
