University of Oregon North Campus Conditional Use Permit Application Project #: 21562 <br />June 15, 2018 Page 13 <br />NORTH CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br />The North Campus will be developed on an approximately 77-acre site. Existing development includes a <br />mix of university, research park, and recreation uses, including the university central power station and <br />other buildings related to the operations of the university, fine art studios, the Urban Farm, university <br />research facilities, three buildings that were developed as part of the Riverfront Research Park, surface <br />parking lots, public bike paths, and two recreation fields. The proposed development will displace <br />approximately 240,604 square feet of existing university uses and construct up to 1,369,500 square feet <br />of new university uses, including additional university research uses and research related to the <br />university. This study assumes that all passenger car access to the site is expected to occur via proposed <br />parking facilities to be located at the Riverfront Parkway/Millrace Drive intersection. UO anticipates <br />providing approximately 1,100 vehicle parking stalls in this vicinity, including the 400+ space parking <br />garage to be built as a part of the Knight Campus development, which is expected to be completed by <br />2020. <br />Trip Generation <br />Trip generation estimates for the proposed North Campus were developed based on trip rates included <br />th <br />in Trip Generation, 10 Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE, Reference 5). <br />Two ITE trip generation land uses were considered for the site: University/College (land use code 550) <br />and Research and Development Center (land use code 760). The University/College code estimates trip <br />generation based upon the number of students and employees anticipated to attend or work at a <br />University/College facility, while the Research and Development Center code estimates trips based upon <br />the building area (in square feet). While the Research and Development Center land use was used to <br />estimate the trip generation associated with the recently-approved Knight Campus, the University of <br />Oregon no longer emphasizes research and development activities as the primary use for the North <br />Campus but foresees it as one of many activities that will occur. The 2018 North Campus Master Site Plan <br />anticipates a similar range of uses to those that already exist on the campus. As such, the University Land <br /> <br />Student/Faculty Ratio <br />Per scoping discussions, the North Campus is forecast to accommodate a student population increase of <br />3,209 students. Table 3 displays the estimated site-generated trips associated with this student <br />population increasethis represents a combination of student and faculty trips. Based on data provided <br />by University staff, the North Campus is expected to maintain the current approximate proportions of 82 <br />percent students and 18 percent faculty/staff/employeesthis is reflected in Table 3. <br />Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
