Redwood City Costco Gasoline Expansion ProjE 7.A. - Page 244 <br /> August 20,2012 ruye 3� <br /> Comparison of Redwood City Activity to Other Costco Locations <br /> To provide context for the trip generation evaluation, Costco provided the recent sales volume for the <br /> existing Redwood City fuel station. The same known, real world data was pulled for other proximate <br /> locations to document how activity and sales at Redwood City compares to that of other example <br /> locations. The sites have been summarized as requested by the City since they are located near the <br /> Redwood City site and frequently are raised for comparison and contrast to the Redwood City Costco. <br /> The details and specifics of the representative sites used to determine a baseline are shown in Table <br /> 10. The specific membership information and actual sales and activity volumes are not listed due to <br /> the privacy and proprietary nature of the data,but the activity and volume level of each sample site in <br /> comparison to the baseline Redwood City site is provided. <br /> Table 10 Example Fuel Station Characteristics, <br /> January 1, 2011-May 31, 2011 (gas), November 1, 2009-May 31, 2011 (warehouse) <br /> Percentage of Redwood City Costco Data <br /> Number of Total Fuel Average Daily Average Daily <br /> Location Fuel Islands Transactions Gallons Sold Warehouse Size Warehouse Sales <br /> Redwood City 3 100%(Baseline) 100%(Baseline) 100%(Baseline) 100%(Baseline) <br /> Santa Clara 3 109% 109% 84% 101% <br /> EI Camino 4 138% 126% 91% 125% <br /> NE San Jose 4 138% 136% 91% 106% <br /> SanJosell 4 114% 109% 97% 106% <br /> As shown in Table 10, the example proximate Costco locations currently have higher total fuel <br /> transactions and average daily gallons sold than the Redwood City site. Additionally, while the <br /> warehouses are all smaller than Redwood City, the average daily warehouse sales are also higher <br /> than existing sales at Redwood City. This shows that the Redwood City Costco Gasoline facility is <br /> currently generating fewer trips and selling less fuel than other locations in the area. The numbers <br /> reported are total transactions and sales (not just peak hour transaction and sales) and, therefore, <br /> represent the full demand for the Redwood City location and are not metered or constrained by what <br /> the existing 3 island facility can process during the peak hour. Over the whole day the numbers <br /> shown for Redwood City are not lower just because it has fewer fueling positions. <br /> Kittelson&Associates,Inc. Boise,Idaho <br />
