1 INTRODUCTION

Belyea Development Inc. is currently proposing a residential townhouse redevelopment on the site of

2311-2323 Belyea Street in the Town of Oakville (herein referred to as the “subject site”). The subject

site is currently occupied by one (1) single dwelling units and a six (6) unit apartment building.

The proposed redevelopment will include the addition of 20 new townhouse units, with six (6) of these

units including accessory units. A Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) has been completed to

understand the transportation impact of the proposed land uses on-site. Given the size of the proposed

development an intersection capacity analysis has been deemed unnecessary as a minimal trip

generation is expected. The existing transportation conditions in the surrounding area and the

anticipated trip generation of the subject site will be detailed within this report. Further, the parking

requirements will be detailed based on the applicable by-law.

1.1 SITE CONTEXT

The location of the proposed development is illustrated in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1: Site Location

The subject site is located on the north side of Belyea Street, east of Nelson Street. The subject site is

bordered by abutting properties to the north, east and west. The subject site currently provides three

(3) accesses onto Belyea Street, through driveways located at each of the three (3) properties.

The proposed development will be accessible via Belyea Street with a new driveway located between

the existing 2311 and 2319 Belyea Street driveways. All three (3) existing driveways will be closed.

1.2 PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT

The proposed development will introduce 20 townhouse units with six (6) accessory units incorporated

within the development. Table 1-1 below summarizes the proposed land uses and the number units

proposed.

Table 1-1: Existing and Proposed Land Uses

The proposed concept plan of the subject site is shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2: Proposed Site Plan

November 2017

The proposed development will be accessible through one (1) driveway, onto Belyea Street. Each unit

will have two (2) parking spaces provided on a driveway and garage, and an additional parking space

will be provided on the site for each accessory unit. An additional five (5) visitor parking spaces will

be provided in a separated parking area, located directly north of Unit 16.

2 EXISTING TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS

Discussed below will be the existing transportation conditions of the transportation networks that

surround the subject site. This will include a review of the pedestrian, cyclist, transit, and road

networks.

2.1 EXISTING ROAD NETWORK

The existing road network in the study area includes:

• Belyea Street & Nelson Street (Unsignalized).

Belyea Street is an east-west road with a two-lane cross section. Belyea Street is under the jurisdiction

of the Town of Oakville. The road begins at Bronte Road and extends east of Nelson Road where it

curves to run north-south and becomes East Street. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of Belyea

Street within the study area. Belyea Street operates with an assumed speed limit of 50 km/hr.

Nelson Street is a north-south road with a two-lane cross-section. Nelson Street is under the

jurisdiction of the Town of Oakville. The road begins at Hixon Street and extends to Ontario Street

where it terminates. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of Nelson Street within the study area.

Nelson Street operates with a posted speed limit of 50 km/hr.

Figure 2-1 illustrates the existing lane configuration within the study area.

2.2 EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICES There are no transit routes directly in the study area. The closest transit routes are located south of the

subject site at Lakeshore Road West and Nelson Street, approximately 300 metres from the subject

site, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2: Oakville Transit Service Network

Subject Site

November 2017

The 3 Third Line bus route provides north-south service along Third Line beginning at the Oakville

Trafalgar Memorial Hospital continuing south to Rebecca Street where the route makes a loop traveling

west on Rebecca Street, south on Bronte Road and then east on Lakeshore Road West. This bus route

can be accessed approximately 300m south of the subject site and operates all-day, with headways of

approximately 15 minutes during AM and PM peak hours.

The 14 Lakeshore West bus route provides east-west service along Lakeshore Road West. The route

begins at Appleby GO Station traveling south on Burloak Drive to Lakeshore Road West where the

route continues west and terminates at Oakville GO Station. This bus route can be accessed

approximately 300m south of the subject site at Nelson Street and Lakeshore Road West. The service

operates all-day, with headways of 15 minutes during AM and PM peak hours.

2.3 EXISTING BICYCLE ROUTES AND TRAILS Existing cycling infrastructure in the area is provided along the north and south sides of Lakeshore

Road West with the use of marked lanes. These bike lanes area accessible at Lakeshore Road West and

Nelson Street, approximately 300 metres from the subject site.

3 TRIP GENERATION

The trips generated by the proposed development have been devised based on the residential land use

proposed. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) 9th Edition Trip Generation Manual have

been used to devise the anticipated trips generated by the proposed development. The ITE rates are

conservative as the trip rates provided assume a 95% auto mode split and typically reflect the

transportation characteristics of suburban US cities. Given the more urban context of the subject site,

Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) data was referenced to obtain the transportation mode split in

the area. The non-auto mode split in the surrounding area was determined to be 34%. To be

conservative, the walking and cycling trips were excluded in the mode split reduction as these modes

are more variable. Therefore a non-auto mode split reduction of 29% was applied to the trip rates

provided in the ITE Trip Generation Manual. The TTS mode split results can be found in Appendix

A.

The land use code 230 Condominium/Townhouse was used to obtain trip rates for the AM and PM

peak hours based on the fitted curve equation. To be conservative, accessory units were considered as

additional units, to total 26 proposed units. The existing trips generated on site are expected to be

minimal and were therefore not subtracted from the projected new trip generation.

The trip generation for the proposed development is summarized below in Table 3-1.

TOTAL Trips Generated 2 9 11 20 11 31

Table 3-1: Proposed Trip Generation

November 2017

Overall, there are 12 (2 in, 9 out) AM peak hour trips generated and 31 (20 in, 11 out) PM peak hour

trips generated. Given the minimal trips generated, a marginal traffic impact is expected to result from

the proposed development. Further transportation analyses have not been deemed necessary.

4 PARKING

This section will describe the proposed parking of the subject site and determine whether this is in

accordance with the minimum parking requirements outlined in the Town of Oakville Zoning By-Law

2014-014.

4.1 PARKING REQUIREMENTS

The minimum parking requirements for the site will be presented here in contrast to the future proposed

parking supply detailed above. The applicable by-law for the subject site is the Town of Oakville

Zoning By-Law 2014-014. As such, the minimum parking standards within the Zoning By-Law have

been applied to the proposed site and are summarized below in Table 4-1.

TOTAL 26 - 51

Table 4-1: Minimum Parking Requirement (Zoning By-Law 2014-014)

A total of 51 parking spaces are required to satisfy the minimum parking requirements of the Town of

Oakville Zoning By-Law 2014-014. This consists of 46 resident spaces and five (5) visitor spaces.

4.2 PROPOSED PARKING

As described above, the subject site features 20 townhouse units with six (6) accessory units. The two

(2) parking spaces provided from each townhouse are located on the driveway and garage respectively.

The parking for accessory units will consist of surface-level parking spaces on-site which are located

adjacent to the townhouse unit they are encompassed in. Further, there are five (5) surface-level visitor

spaces provided north of Lot 16. Table 4-2 below summarizes the parking proposed.

5 CONCLUSIONS

• The current development proposal consists of a 20-unit townhouse development with six (6)

accessory units.

• The existing road, transit and bike networks in the study area were reviewed to detail the

existing transportation conditions.

• The anticipated residential trips generated by the proposed development were devised through

trip rates obtained from the ITE Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition. To be conservative, the

accessory units were assumed to be additional units for a total of 26 townhouse units. Trip rates

for the AM and PM peak hours were obtained and applied to the new development. Overall,

there are 11 (2 in, 9 out) AM peak hour trips generated and 31 (20 in, 11 out) PM peak hour

trips generated.

• Given the minimal trips projected from the proposed development, further transportation

analyses, including future background and future total analyses, were deemed unnecessary.

• The proposed development will provide a total of 51 parking spaces. Each townhouse unit will

have one (1) garage space and one (1) driveway space, to total two (2) spaces per unit. Each

accessory unit will have one (1) additional space provided. The remaining five (5) spaces will

be provided as designated visitor parking in a shared parking lot.

• The subject site is currently zoned under the Town of Oakville Zoning By-Law 2014-014. The

proposed parking supply meets the minimum parking requirements outlined in this By-Law.

• Overall, it was determined that the proposed development will not result in a significant

transportation impact and can be accommodated onto the surrounding road network.
