Traffic and Transport Assessment \ ; Showroom/Warehouse Development 409-423 Princes Highway, Noble Park

J Introduction

Cardno was retained by Chadwick Investments to undertake an assessment ofthe traffic, transportation and parking impacts of extensions of the showroom / warehouse development proposed at 409-413 Princes Highway Noble Park to include development ofthe adjoining land at 415-423 Princes Highway Noble Park (Stage 2).

In the course of preparing this assessment, the subject site and its environs have been inspected, plans of the development (Drawing No. 09020(B) - TPI Rev A, dated 25 January 2013) examined and relevant traffic and parking data collected and analysed.

Cardno have previously provided a traffic and transport assessment dated 20 December 2012 for development of 409-413 Princes Highway, Noble Park (Stage 1) ofthe subject site.

Background and Existing Conditions

2.1 Location and Land Use The subject site is located on the south side of Princes Highway, Noble Park between Fintonia Road and Himbeck Court, as shown in Figure 2-1. The subject site is irregular in shape made up of 8 lots providing a total site area of 7,135 square metres comprising a combined frontage of approximately 165 metres to the service road that operates adjacent to Princes Highway north-western carriageway.

A commercial truck sales yard currently occupies and operates on the southeast portion of the site (409-413 Princes Highway, Noble Park) while the balance ofthe subject site (415-423 Princes Highway, Noble Park) is vacant.

Access to the truck sales yard is currently via two crossovers from the Princes Highway service road that operate as a left-in / left-out arrangement. A fully directional crossover services the subject site from Fintonia Road. The vacant portion of the subject site has five (5) currently unused vehicle crossovers along the service road frontage.

Figure 2-1 Subject Site Locality Plan

Residential properties abut the southern boundary ofthe site, while an ambulance station, located at the corner of Himbeck Court / Princes Highway service road, abuts the site to the northwest. Vehicular access for the ambulance station is provided to/from Himbeck Court. A Video Ezy and other commercial uses front onto the service road further south of the site, while a KFC and shop front onto the service road further north.

2.3 Road Network

2.3.1 Princes Highway (Dandenonq Road)

Princes Highway, also known as Dandenong Road, is a Declared Main Road that runs northwest to southeast past the subject site.

In the vicinity ofthe site. Princes Highway comprises three northbound and four southbound lanes, divided by a central median. A speed limit of 80km/h applies in the vicinity of the subject site.

A service road runs adjacent either side of the main carriageways providing access to properties fronting Princes Highway.

The service road adjacent the subject site, operates as one way from Fintonia Road to Himbeck Court, and is wide enough to accommodate kerbside parallel parking on both sides of the carriageway, albeit that cars rarely park on the right (northeast) side of the service road.

The Princes Highway service road is illustrated in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 Princes Highway service road looking north-west from the frontage of the subject site

2.3.2 Fintonia Road

Fintonia Road is a local road orientated in a north-south direction from Princes Highway in the north to Heatherton Road in the south. Adjacent the subject site, Fintonia Road provides a single trafficable lane with unrestricted parallel kerbside parking on either side of the roadway.

The intersection of Fintonia Road with Princes Highway is controlled by 'Give Way' signage with priority afforded to Princes Highway.

Fintonia Road along the site frontage is illustrated in Figure 2-4.

Proposed Development

3.1 General

This assessment relates to the combined traffic and parking impacts of the Stages 1 and 2 development of the subject site in the form of 9 Showroom / Warehouse tenancies. It is noted that the north-west (Stage 2) portion of the site is currently zoned Residential 1. The south east portion of the site has previously been assessed in Cardno's traffic and transport assessment dated 20 December 2012.

The proposed Stage 2 extensions comprise five showroom/warehouse tenancies with a combined floor area of 3,149 square metres which increases the total combined floor area for Stages 1 and 2 to 5,717square metres.

With reference to the development plans, each tenancy typically features showroom and associated warehouse floor areas on ground level, while the first level contains ancillary office areas related to each tenancy.

A summary of the combined floor areas proposed by Stages 1 and 2 of the development of the site is provided in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1 Development Schedule

Use Size

Showroom 1,699 sqm

Warehouse 2,259 sqm

Office 1,759 sqm

Total 5,717 sqm

3.2 Car Parking and Access

The Stage 2 development includes extensions over part of the Stage 1 parking area and access link to the Princes Highway service road, albeit that the parking 'lost' and access to the Princes Highway service road is to be relocated close to the north-west end ofthe site, to optimise vehicle circulation within the site as a whole.

The proposed Stage 2 extensions also include a net increase of 20 parking spaces thereby increasing the total proposed on-site parking supply to 73 car parking spaces. This includes 4 spaces for the use of motorists with 'disabled' parking permits which are designed in accordance with the requirements of AS2890.6.

A further 21 on street spaces are provided along the site frontage to the Princes Highway service road equating to a total available parking supply of 94 spaces.

Fully directional access is maintained to/from Fintonia Road.

Design Considerations

4.1 Car Park Layout

The car parking on-site is set out in accordance with the design principles of the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme and/or the Australian Standard for off-street car parking (AS/NZS 2890.1:2004).

Car spaces have typically been designed to accord with the requirements ofthe Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme with car parking spaces provided with a minimum width of 2.6 metres, depth of 4.9 metres and accessed from an aisle of at least 6.4 metres.

Where car parking spaces are provided for people with disabilities, spaces have been designed in accordance with the Australian Standard for off-street parking for people with disabilities (AS2890.6:2009).

4.2 Loading Access The largest vehicle expected to seek access to the proposed warehouse/showroom development is an 8.8m MRV. Swept path analyses that confirm the accessibility of the loading areas proposed for each tenancy, by vehicles of this size, are provided within Appendix A.

Loading Considerations

5.1 statutory Loading Requirements Clause 52.07 ofthe Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme sets out the requirements forthe provision of loading and unloading of commercial vehicles. These requirements are set out in Table 5-1.

Table 5-1 Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme Loading Bay Requirements

2,600m^ or less in single occupation Area 27.4m^ Length 7.6m Width 3.6m Height Clearance 4.0m

For every additional 1,800 m^ or part thereof Additional 18 m^

Each of the proposed tenancies has a combined Showroom / Warehouse / Office floor area of considerably less than 2,600 square metres, and therefore attracts a requirement for a loading bay with minimum dimensions of 7.6m x 3.6m with minimum headroom clearance of 4.0m.

Loading areas are provided at the rear of each tenancy consistent with these minimum loading bay dimensions and are able to accommodate service vehicles up to 8.8 metres in length without compromising circulation within the site. The proposed loading bays are therefore considered to provide adequately for deliveries to each proposed tenancy.

6 Bicycle Parking Considerations

Clause 52.34 ofthe Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme specifies bicycle parking provision requirements for a range of uses. It is noted, however, that 'showroom' and 'warehouse' uses are not specifically listed within Clause 52.34.

For the purpose of this assessment, it is assumed that the 'showroom' component of the development falls within the 'shop' category, whilst the 'warehouse' component falls within the 'industry' category with regard to bicycle parking requirements.

Based on the above, a summary of the assumed bicycle parking requirements for the area of the largest tenancy are detailed within Table 6-1.

Table 6-1 Clause 52.34 Bicycle Parking Requirements

I l i l l l l l l i l i l i i S

staff Spaces

Visitor / Customer Rate Visitor / Customer Spaces

Showroom 214 m^ 1 space to each 600m^ of 0 1 space to each 500m^ of 0 (Shop) leasable floor area if the

leasable floor area exceeds 1000 m^

leasable floor area exceeds 1000 m^

0 1 space to each lOOOm^ of leasable floor area if the leasable fioor area exceeds 1000 m^

0

Reference to the Clause 52.34 bicycle parking supply requirements indicates that none ofthe 9 tenancies proposed attracts a bicycle parking requirement.

That noted, if the total Showroom (1,699sqm). Warehouse (2,259sqm) and Office (1,759sqm) floor area of the 9 tenancies proposed are aggregated to determine the bicycle parking requirement, the development would attract a requirement for a total of 13 bicycle parking spaces (9 for staff and 4 for visitors).

While the warehouse nature ofthe proposed development is likely to lend itself to bicycles ridden by staff being readily accommodated within each tenancy, no purpose designed bicycle parking is included on the development plans.

Considering the site's location and the limited bicycle infrastructure surrounding the site, staff and visitors to the proposed development will be far more likely to commute by private motor vehicle or perhaps public transport, than by bicycle, due to the site's location and the limited extent of designated on or off-road bicycle lanes/pathways for bicycle travel to and from the site.

These considerations suggest that the bicycle parking requirements (if any) for the proposed development could be waived without significant impact on bicycle use for travel to and from the site.

7 Car Parking Considerations

7.1 Dandenong Planning Scheme Clause 52.06 The car parking requirements relevant to the proposed development are listed within the revised Clause 52.06 introduced into the Victoria Planning Provisions and Planning Schemes by Amendment which took effect as of 5* June 2012.

While 'showroom' uses are not specifically listed within the Table to the revised Clause 52.06, the use for a 'commercial display area' is nested under 'warehouse' uses.

With respect to the proposed development, the revised Clause 52.06 requires for the showroom/warehouse floor areas a minimum of 2 spaces plus 1.5 spaces to each 100 square metres of net floor area, while 'office' uses require a car parking provision of 3.5 spaces to each 100 square metres of leasable floor area.

Application of the above rates to each of the respective components equates to a car parking requirement of 77 spaces attributed to the showroom/warehouse components and 61 spaces attributed to the office floor area.

Furthermore, Clause 52.06-6 states that a reduced or waived requirement for car spaces may be justified based on an assessment ofthe following:

> The car parking demand likely to be generated by the use; having regard to: - Multi-purpose trips within an area; - The variation of car parking demand over time; - The short-stay and long-stay car parking demand; - The availability of public transport in the locality; - The convenience of pedestrian and cyclist access to the site; - The provision of bicycle parking and end of trip facilities for cyclists; - The anticipated car ownership rates of likely or proposed occupants (residents or employees).

> Whether it is appropriate to allow fewer spaces to be provided than the number likely to be generated by the use; having regard to: - Any relevant local planning policy of incorporated plan; - The availability of car parking including;

> Efficiencies gained from the consolidation of shared car parking spaces; > Public car parks intended to serve the land; > On street parking in non residential zones and streets in residential zones specifically managed for

non-residential parking; > On street parking in residential zones for residential use.

- Any adverse economic impact a shortfall of parking may have on the economic viability of an activity centre;

- The future growth and development of an activity centre; - Any car parking deficiency associated with the existing use of the land; - Any credit that should be allowed for car parking spaces provided on common land or by a Special

Charge scheme or cash-in-lieu payment; - Local traffic management;, - The impact of fewer car parking spaces on local amenity including pedestrian amenity and the amenity

of nearby residential areas; - The need to create safe, functional and attractive parking areas; - Access to or provision of alternative transport modes; - The equity of reducing the car parking requirement having regard to any historic contributions of

existing businesses; o The character of the surrounding area and whether reducing the car parking provision would

result in a quality/positive urban design outcome, o Any other relevant consideration.

7.2 Empirical Assessment Office floor areas associated with showroom/warehouse developments similarto the proposed development are typically used in support of the overall use, with the main driving factor relating to car parking demand proportional to the magnitude of showroom/warehouse operations.

Accordingly, the office floor areas associated with each of the showroom/warehouse tenancies proposed are not anticipated to generate a car parking demand in their own right. It is therefore considered overly conservative to assume that the office floor areas of each showroom/warehouse tenancy would generate similar demand to that of a standalone office development.

Nevertheless, to provide a robust assessment, it will be assumed that the office floor areas generate a car parking demand at a similar rate to that of the showroom/warehouse uses.

Cardno has undertaken parking surveys at a number of industrial and warehouse developments in Melbourne. Peak parking rates in terms of total occupied floor area range from 0.33 to 1.17 with an average of 0.62 spaces per 10Om^ of total occupied floor area as summarised in Table 7-1.

Table 7-1 Warehouse Car Parking Case Study Data

Location Floor Area (m^) Parking/ 100m^

Warehouse Development, Brooklyn 9,691 0.33

Felton Grimwade Bickford Warehouses, Oakleigh South 2,568 1.17

Warehouse Development, Bentieigh East 7,200 0.43

\ Tower Business Park - Aussie Signs Tenancy 3,055 0.56

Average , 0.62

Case study data presented in Table 7-1 indicates that warehouse developments typically generate parking at significantly lower rates than the statutory requirement of 2 spaces plus 1.5 spaces to each 100 square metres of net floor area suggesting that a reduction to the parking requirement can be justified on empirical grounds alone.

If for the purposes of this assessment it is assumed that the proposed showroom warehouse development will generate parking at a rate of 2 spaces plus 1.2 spaces to each 100 square metres of net (aggregate) floor area (i.e. at a rate slightly higher than that recorded at the case study site with the highest parking generation rate), the likely parking demand is estimated to be 86 car parking spaces;

i.e. 9 tenancies @, 2 spaces + (5,717sqm @ 1.2 spaces per 10Osqm floor area) = 86 spaces.

7.3 Adequacy of Parking

The conservatively estimated peak parking demand of 86 car parking spaces, likely to be generated by the combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 development of the subject site, slightly exceeds the proposed on-site parking supply of 73 spaces. However, with the availability of 21 on-street parking spaces along the near side of the Princes Hwy service road at the frontage of the subject site, a reduction of the parking requirement to the 73 on-site spaces proposed is entirely justified on the basis of the availability of 'on-street parking in non residential zones specifically managed for non-residential use', alone. It is also noted that the wide existing pavement of the Princes Hwy service road is sufficient to allow parallel parking on both sides of the service road, without blocking the passage of other vehicles that may wish to use the service road.

While cars rarely park on the right side ofthe one-way service road, currently, an additional 23 or more cars could be parked on the service road opposite the site frontage, if the need arose.

It is therefore concluded that the combined parking supplies of those both included within the proposed development and existing on one, and potentially both, side/s of the service road (without going beyond the frontage of the subject site), are more than sufficient to accommodate all parking demands likely to be generated by the proposed development, at all times.

8 Traffic Considerations

8.1 Traffic Generation The NSW RTA "Guide to Traffic Generating Developments" lists the daily and peak hourtraffic generation rates for warehouses and factories as shown in Table 8-1.

Table 8-1 Summary of NSW RTA Traffic Generation Rates

. Trips per 100 sq m floor area

Daily Peak Hour

Warehouse [4.0 0.5

Factory 1.0

Cardno has undertaken surveys at a number of similar warehouse/showroom developments to establish peak hour traffic generation rates. During the AM peak hour, vehicle movements per 100 square metres of floor area varied between 0.5 and 1.1 with an average of 0.74, while in the PM peak hour, rates varied between 0.52 and 0.93 with an average of 0.72.

Applying the average observed rates (0.74 vehicle movements per 100 square metres during the morning peak, and 0.72 vehicle movements per 100 square metres during the afternoon peak) to the proposed 5,717sqm of combined floor areas, equates to an anticipated traffic generation of 41 to 42 vehicle movements per hour during the morning and afternoon peak periods.

This anticipated peak in traffic activity generated by the proposed development is approximately equivalent to, on average, 1 vehicle movement every 1V2 minutes.

This level of traffic can readily be accommodated by the Princes Hwy service road, Fintonia Road and surrounding road network with minimal impact on either current arterial road operations or local amenity.

Conclusions

Based upon the investigations and analyses outlined in this report it is concluded that:

> The proposed Stage 1 and Stage 2 developments of the subject site comprise a combined 9 showroom / warehouse tenancies with total floor area of 5,717 square metres.

> Each proposed showroom / warehouse tenancy includes adequate loading provisions to accommodate deliveries by vehicles as large as 8.8m medium rigid trucks.

> The proposed site layout includes appropriately designed car parking, including 4 'disabled' parking spaces, access crossovers and circulation aisles to allow traffic operations to, from and within the site to function efficiently.

> A total of 73 on-site parking spaces are proposed which will be augmented by the formalisation of 21 car parking spaces on the left / nearside of the Princes Highway service road at the frontage to the subject site.

> A further 23 or more cars are currently able to park on the right side of the one-way Princes Hwy service road, opposite the frontage of the subject site alone, without comprising the use of the service road by other vehicles.

> These existing, proposed and potential parking supplies are more than sufficient to accommodate all parking demands likely to be generated by the development, at all times.

All traffic activity likely to be generated by the proposed development during peak periods can be accommodated bythe surrounding road network with minimal impact on'either the operations of the road network or the amenity of the environs of the site.
