Ray Pendro 9.B. - Page 23 November 21, 2014 )59 Page 2 of 5 allowed under the plan, a maximum of 50,231 s.f. of office space would be allowed under a scenario that only allowed retail space to be converted. Methodology The trip generation rates from the DTTP EIR are shown in Table 1. The size of each land use is based on the adopted Revised Maximum Allowable Development (MAD) Caps for the selected Alternative 4 (DTTP EIR, 2010, p. 19-3). Specifically, this includes a total of 2,500 residential housing units, 500,000 square feet (s.f.) of office uses, and 100,000 s.f. of retail uses. The DTPP includes hotel uses (200 units) that will remain unchanged. The DTPP EIR trip generation rates were used to calculate "conversion rates" between the following land uses: residential to office and retail to office. The conversion rate captures how much of one land use can be converted to office uses using the relevant unit of measurements (i.e. dwelling units for residential and s.f. for retail and office). These conversion rates are displayed in Table 2. These rates take into account the reductions used for transit usage, internalization, and retail pass-by trips. Reductions for transit usage and internalization were applied to all trip types while the pass-by trip reduction was only applied to the retail uses.
