Final Report

Introduction The Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan (LUTP) is a guide for programming future transportation improvement priorities that was developed by identifying and understanding existing and future land use trends in the southeast area of Mesa.

accommodate existing and projected traffic demands. Through the LUTP, the City of Mesa seeks to enhance the quality of life in southeast Mesa through the programming and delivery of timely multimodal transportation enhancements.

Project Need

Figure 1 shows the LUTP study area boundary. The study area encompasses approximately 50 square miles. Portions of the study area are bounded by the City of Apache Junction, Town of Gilbert, Town of Queen Creek, and Pinal County. Portions of the State Route (SR) 24, SR 202 (Loop 202), and US 60 freeways are within the study area. The study area also includes the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (PMGA) and the Arizona State University (ASU) Polytechnic campus.

In 2008, the City of Mesa completed the Mesa Gateway Strategic Development Plan (MGSDP), which provided a planning analysis and vision for future growth in the southeast portion of Mesa. Since that time, southeast Mesa has developed into a major economic, employment, and educational center for the region.

Study Area

The LUTP updates the land use and transportation portions of the MGSDP. The City of Mesa recognized the need for the LUTP updates because land development market trends have deviated somewhat from what was assumed in the MGSDP, and the existing roadway network cannot adequately

Baseline Roadway Network Conditions Existing Conditions The roadway network within the northern and eastern portions of the study area is fairly well developed with arterial, collector, and residential streets. Much of the southern portion of the study area (south of Elliot Road), however, is less-developed or undeveloped. Figure 2 shows the current functional classification (i.e., freeways, arterials, and collectors) for the study area segments of the roadway network. Where new roadway segments are planned or a change of functional classification is anticipated per the City’s 2040 Transportation Plan, the future functional classification is also shown in the same figure. Table 1 shows the number of centerline miles of roadway of each functional classification within the study area. Table 1: Roadway Centerline Miles by Current Functional Classification Fu n ct ion al C la ss i f ica ti o n

reviews. Most of the arterial streets north of Elliot Road are built out with four or more through lanes. South of Elliot Road, there are many arterial roadway segments that have not been built or that are only two-lane roadways. Figure 4 shows the daily traffic volumes on study area roadways. These volumes were derived from traffic counts collected in 2017 and 2018 by the City of Mesa, Town of Gilbert, Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT), and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The highest recorded daily traffic volumes occur on the freeway segments and on arterial segments near freeway traffic interchanges. The highest arterial traffic volumes occur along Power Road near the US 60 and Loop 202 traffic interchanges and on Ellsworth Road south of SR 24.

Character Area / District Analysis MGSDP Vision The MGSDP set out to establish a vision for this area that would set the standard for how an active and thriving airport environment could not only co-exist with its neighbors but leverage the strengths of both the airport and surrounding area to establish a national live/learn/work/play destination. As the MGSDP describes, this approach is referred to as a “marriage of form and function in airport planning and development.” To realize this approach, the MGSDP further described the following steps as being necessary for success: ◼

◼

◼

Establish the “aviation envelope” that will support the regional interests of airport and airline users; unless specific lands are absolutely essential for uninterrupted regional airport operations, they should be considered for development; Promote compatible land uses; a wide range of commercial, recreational, and residential uses can occupy land in close proximity to the airport and its active airspace; and Ultimately transfer the focal point of the passenger and commercial experience to the east side of the property, where a new passenger terminal should be developed as a regional landmark.

MGSDP Districts To aid in implementation, the MGSDP established a framework comprised of four subareas referred to as districts. These districts were created for the more undeveloped

8 | Final Report

portions of the study area, which is the land south of the powerline corridor that runs halfway between Guadalupe Road and Elliot Road. The districts were created to guide future growth and development to ensure compatibility with the airport and leverage the land areas’ specific locational advantage, based on their proximity to the airport and the regional transportation network. Design, form, and character goals were identified for the four districts to guide future development. The four districts were: ◼

The Mixed-Use Community District;

◼

The Inner Loop District;

◼

The Airport/Campus District; and

◼

The Logistics and Commerce District.

As part of the LUTP effort, the MGSDP districts were evaluated against current development trends to determine if the districts needed to be updated. The following sections provide a description of the MGSDP districts. Figure 5 contains a supporting map. The district descriptions and map are based on information provided in the MGSDP. Mixed-Use Community District This district was envisioned to be the area that solidifies the goal to balance land uses and provide sustainability through the creation of a live/learn/work/play community. It was


Final Report

envisioned to contain the widest variety of land uses within the planning area, with ultimate development including low- to high-density residential, commercial, employment, civic, and recreational uses to provide a complete community experience. While the other districts allow for residential uses, this district will be the primary area for residential development. Providing for residential use is critical to attaining the balance that is sought within the Mesa Gateway area amidst the employment, education, commercial, and industrial uses found primarily within the other districts. This district will also include walkable mixed-use “urban core” areas to provide focus and identity. The boundaries of this district are existing and planned freeways that serve as a transition zone to the other districts. Development in this transitional area can take advantage of freeway frontage and access. Business park, light industrial, and other higher-intensity employment uses, as well as regional community commercial uses, are compatible with this designation. High-density residential will be integrated with commercial and employment uses in urban cores and other mixed-use development areas. Inner Loop District The Inner Loop District was envisioned to contain a wide variety of uses. This district should provide a high-quality, mixed-use environment that is compatible with increasing over-flight activities associated with PMGA operations. Because this area will likely be subject to the most revisions to the airport noise contours, land uses in this area may need to be generally nonresidential and the City should weigh new developments carefully. Over time, flexibility will be important as development

should begin to transition to mixed uses, with concentrations of light industrial, office, and retail, with a possibility of higher-density residential uses in the future. The Elliot Road corridor is envisioned as a multimodal corridor linking Elliot Road with an urban center at Ellsworth Road. A transit system is ultimately envisioned to limit the need for use of personal automobiles for residents within this area. The high intensity of development in this area will be balanced with a significant area of community open space and connections to the regional recreational path system. Close to the area’s Loop 202 boundary, higher intensity uses will help to transition the district to meet the adjacent land uses. While the uses near the freeway will be similar to those found throughout the district, building orientation that presents attractive facades to the freeway and contains high-quality design elements will be of importance. Airport/Campus District This district refers to the area encompassing the ASU Polytechnic/Chandler-Gilbert Community College (CGCC), East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT), PMGA, and the area immediately outside the airport’s future main terminal. It is envisioned as a mixed-use district centered around educational opportunities, research and development functions, and airport-related uses that support the traveling public. Uses on the airport will relate to the uses across the airport boundary.

Final Report

Development in the Airport/Campus District will be high-intensity and pedestrian-oriented. Its pedestrian friendliness will distinguish this district from more typical airport-adjacent developments. The transitional area or boundary of this district will predominantly be high-intensity employment uses that integrate well with the on-airport uses. Uses in this area will also address the needs of travelers and visitors and provide a smooth transition from the airport into the rest of the community. High-density residential uses can be integrated within a mixed-use development, when appropriate. This area will be a hub of visitor activity and create the first and last impression visitors have of the community. It must therefore provide a very high-quality image. Logistics and Commerce District This designation applies to areas south of the Airport/Campus District and SR 24. Heavy industrial, light industrial, business park, and

commercial uses were envisioned to be predominant within this district. Desired uses include manufacturing facilities, large warehouses, distribution facilities, planned employment parks, and similar uses. This district should provide a high-quality employment environment that is compatible with increasing over-flight activities associated with PMGA. Greater intensity and higher density uses will be encouraged for development approaching the northern boundary of this area as it transitions approaching SR 24.

Existing Land Uses To identify trends in growth and development, it is important to consider the current, existing uses on the ground. A table showing the MAG 2016 existing land uses and associated map are provided in Table 2 and Figure 6, respectively. Referring to this information, approximately 46% of the project area is currently Vacant or utilized for Agriculture.

General Plan Future Land Uses Future land use designations – as indicated in the City’s current 2040 General Plan character area types – were assessed for the study area. The purpose of this approach was to include and consider the development potential of vacant infill parcels that may impact the area.

A data table showing the City’s General Plan future character area types within the study area and associated map showing their location are provided in Table 4 and Figure 8, respectively. Because future land uses consider all property (city or county), the total shown in Table 4 includes land use designations for the full study area, including county islands.

Adjustments to MGSDP Framework Districts To evaluate the validity of the MGSDP current framework districts, the context of the area surrounding the airport was assessed to determine local conditions. Referring to the context map shown in Figure 10, four areas of influence have emerged. These areas are: ◼

PMGA;

◼

ASU Polytechnic;

◼

Master planned communities; and

◼

Transition areas.

◼

Inner Loop;

◼

Airport and Business;

◼

Master Planned Communities;

◼

Campus; and

◼

Logistics and Commerce.

The proposed new districts and their boundaries are shown in Figure 11.

Since the adoption of the original MGSDP in 2008, development patterns have not adhered exactly to the framework district boundaries. The ASU Polytechnic area has become more defined, and, while compatible with PMGA, the ASU Polytechnic area may need to be considered as a separate district to meet campus goals. Additionally, the master planned communities area has become more defined as zoning for master planned communities has been approved and development is underway. In reference to the PMGA area, the MGSDP framework district boundary for the airport is somewhat limited and does not include transition areas north and southeast of the airport that may have development restrictions due to proximity to the airport or the noise contour overlay. The emerging development pattern suggests that an adjustment to the MGSDP framework districts is needed. This adjustment includes a change in district boundaries as well as a bifurcation of the Airport/Campus District into two separate districts, creating a total of five districts. The five proposed districts are:

Land Use Scenario Development Baseline Scenario The baseline land use scenario for the study area was established utilizing the existing zoning of vacant property within the City of Mesa incorporated boundary, assuming no future rezoning and/or annexations. Areas of potential new growth in the baseline scenario include properties that are currently vacant, in agricultural production, or in certain open space conditions. The previously referenced Table 5 shows the existing zoning of properties that meet this baseline scenario criteria within the study area (excluding zoning for county islands). The total land available for development in the baseline scenario is approximately 10,139 acres. Of this amount, approximately 66% is made up of the following zoning types: ◼

Planned Community (27%);

◼

Light Industrial (25%); and

◼

Agricultural (14%).

2040 Future Land Use Buildout Scenario Following the establishment of the baseline scenario, the 2040 future land use (FLU) scenario was developed based on the following:

22 | Final Report

◼

Public input received at the first community meeting;

◼

Assumption that all property is developed according to the future land use category; and

◼

Assumption that all unincorporated property is successfully annexed into the City.

For the 2040 future land use buildout scenario, it was assumed that all available undeveloped property (incorporated and unincorporated), would develop (i.e., buildout condition). To develop this buildout scenario, data was first standardized in two phases: 1) isolate undeveloped properties; and then 2) identify the planned development categories within those properties. The second phase included several sub-steps to more accurately assess future development potential. First, the MAG 2016 existing land use layer data was used to isolate the land available for development. MAG is the regional authority for existing land use in Maricopa County and 2016 was the most recent data available at the time of this study. All the vacant, agricultural, and open space land use data within the study area were extracted to identify all undeveloped land within the study area. To the extent feasible, City of Mesa parcel data was used to establish accurate proposed development boundaries.


Final Report

For the buildout condition, the following predictors of future development were referenced to develop 2040 future land use assumptions: 1. City of Mesa Existing Zoning. Except for the Agricultural zone, an undeveloped incorporated parcel was assumed to develop at the highest and best use of its existing zoning (see previously referenced Figure 7), as shown in Table 6.

2. Inner Loop Proposed Development. The “Inner Loop” refers to the land west and north of Loop 202 to the north of PMGA (see previously referenced Figure 11). Within the Inner Loop, the future buildout land uses shown in Table 7 were derived from the draft Inner Loop Plan proposed development designations contained in the draft October 2018 Land Use Plan submitted to the City by Greey|Pickett / Hilgart Wilson.

3. City of Mesa 2040 General Plan Character Area Types. For unincorporated areas within the study area, future buildout land uses were assigned as shown in Table 8 based on the City of Mesa’s 2040 General Plan future land use character area type designations (see previously referenced Figure 8). In addition, it was assumed that all agriculturally zoned properties (incorporated or unincorporated) will be built out based on the future land use character area types designated for those agricultural properties by the 2040 General Plan if not otherwise categorized as part of

the Inner Loop proposed development. The character areas were intentionally drawn in the 2040 General Plan as conceptual, somewhat amorphous shapes; however, when overlaid with a real-world buildout scenario for the SE Mesa LUTP, the boundaries needed to be adjusted for accuracy. For example, a square corner lot that may have had a curved character area boundary drawn through it, resulting in a hypothetical 90% / 10% mix of Employment and Neighborhood character areas, respectively, was given a resulting land use scenario of the predominant Employment character area. Some of the smaller character areas were divided more evenly to be more realistic for development and represented as separate polygons.

Final Report

Economic Analysis An economic model was developed to identify tax collections and the multiplier benefits resulting from the development of land for different uses (e.g., residential, office, industrial, etc.) to support the LUTP land use scenario evaluation. To provide perspective on the different economic and fiscal implications resulting from developments of different land uses, the model calculated the impacts generated by the following five land use categories: ◼

Commercial/retail;

◼

Office;

◼

Industrial;

◼

Single family residential; and

◼

Multi-family residential.

Results of the economic analysis indicated that development of all future available land at full buildout would support 240,538 direct jobs with $12.3 billion in annual wages. The annual economic output generated by direct activities equals $57.6 billion. An additional 238,363 indirect and induced regional jobs would be supported by the new developments. The total annual economic output generated by the buildout scenario is estimated at $94.5 billion. The City of Mesa would also collect $253.9 million annually in tax revenues from the development of the 13,622 acres. More detail regarding the economic model development and results is presented in the Economic Analysis report provided in Appendix 1.

Transportation Implementation Plan Introduction This section of the report describes the existing and future baseline and proposed improved roadway networks for the years 2018 (existing), 2030, and 2040. Projected future daily traffic volumes were modeled and analyzed to determine potential future roadway operating conditions, identify baseline capacity constraints and needed improvements, and prioritize recommended future roadway capacity improvements.

Subarea Travel Demand Model Development and Validation A subarea travel demand model was developed to forecast future year traffic volumes in the study area. The subarea model was based on, and extracted from, the current version of the MAG regional travel demand model. Because the regional model mainly focuses on arterial roadways in the entire region, it has insufficient granularity on both traffic analysis zones (TAZs) and the roadway network in the study area. To introduce the needed granularity into the subarea model, large TAZs were split into several smaller TAZs and study area roadways were added to the model network where missing. These changes allowed the model to more

30 | Final Report

accurately depict where traffic is generated and what travel routes are used. To forecast the future traffic condition more accurately in the study area, a 2018 base year subarea model was developed and validated. The associated demographic and economic data were refined and developed for the 2018, 2030, and 2040 analysis years. The subarea model traffic assignment results were compared with available traffic counts to validate the accuracy of the model performance, with minor adjustments made to model parameters to improve the accuracy of the subarea model. More detail regarding the subarea model development and validation is presented in the Mesa Subarea Travel Demand Model technical memorandum provided in Appendix 2.

Existing and Projected Employment and Population Figure 14 shows the 2018 study area employment by TAZ as identified in the subarea travel demand model. Most of the existing employment within the study area is located near PMGA and along US 60 west of Sossaman Road. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the projected study area employment by TAZ for the years 2030 and 2040, respectively.


Final Report

By 2040, the study area is anticipated to effectively be built out in terms of employment. Notable increases in employment occur in the southern portion of the study area in and around PMGA, the Inner Loop, and along US 60 west of Power Road and east of Ellsworth Road. Figure 17 shows the 2018 study area population by TAZ as identified in the subarea travel demand model. Most of the study area population is located in TAZs in the northern portion of the study area, west of the airport, within the Eastmark development, and north of Ray Road between Signal Butte Road and Meridian Road. Figure 18 and Figure 19 show the projected study area population by TAZ for the years 2030 and 2040, respectively. By 2040, the study area is anticipated to effectively be built out in terms of population. Notable increases in population occur within the Inner Loop and Eastmark areas, as well as east of Ellsworth Road between Ray Road and the expected SR 24 alignment. More detailed population and employment information by TAZ is available in Appendix 3.

Programmed/Committed Improvements Programmed/committed roadway projects within the study area were identified based on input from the City of Mesa, MAG, ADOT, Town of Queen Creek, Pinal County, and the private development community. The programmed improvements are shown in Figure 20. These programmed/committed roadway projects are anticipated to be constructed prior to 2030 except as noted previously in this report.

Baseline Number of Lanes and Level of Service The 2018, 2030, and 2040 baseline number of lanes were determined by taking the existing roadway network and incorporating any changes due to the programmed/committed improvements. Figure 21, Figure 22, and Figure 23 show the baseline total number of lanes for the years 2018, 2030, and 2040, respectively. The 2018, 2030, and 2040 baseline roadway segment levels of service (LOS) were determined by running the subarea model using the baseline number of lanes and socioeconomic data for each of the analysis years. LOS ranges from LOS A (no congestion) to LOS F (at or over capacity), with LOS D or better generally considered “acceptable”. LOS values are based on the ratio of volume-tocapacity (v/c ratio) for a given roadway segment, with the subarea model assuming differing daily volume capacity values for the various types of roadway facilities. The relationship in the subarea model between LOS and v/c ratios is as follows:

38 | Final Report

◼

Minimal congestion (LOS C or better) = v/c ratio < 0.70;

◼

Moderate congestion (LOS D) = v/c ratio > 0.70 and < 0.85;

◼

Nearing capacity (LOS E) = v/c ratio > 0.85 and < 1.00; and

◼

At or over capacity (LOS F) = v/c ratio > 1.0.

Figure 24 shows the segment LOS for the 2018 baseline network. More detailed LOS information is available in Appendix 4. Based on the model results, most of the study area roadway segments operate at an acceptable LOS with minimal to moderate congestion. City roadway segments nearing, at, or over capacity in 2018 include: ◼

Sossaman Rd: Pecos Rd to Germann Rd; and

◼

Ellsworth Rd: Williams Field Rd to Germann Rd.

Figure 25 shows the segment LOS for the 2030 baseline network. More detailed LOS information is available in Appendix 4. Based on the model results, several more roadways segments are expected to operate near, at, or over capacity in 2030 under these baseline conditions, particularly in the southern portion of the study area. City roadway segments projected to be nearing, at, or over capacity in 2030 include: ◼

Power Rd: Loop 202 to Ray Rd;

◼

Power Rd: Williams Field Rd to Verona Ave;

◼

Sossaman Rd: Velocity Way to Germann Rd;

Final Report

Future Roadway Network Improvements Recommended City roadway improvements are based on the 2018, 2030, and 2040 baseline roadway networks and LOS results. The intent of the improvements is to better accommodate the projected daily traffic for each analysis year by increasing capacity to keep the level of service for the City’s study area roadways within the minimal to moderate congestion range (LOS D or better) where practical. The improvement timeframes into which improvements were grouped were split into the following three periods based on which improvements address the LOS needs identified from the subarea model results within each timeframe: ◼

Near-term – Immediate need;

◼

Mid-term – Needed by 2030; and

◼

Long-term – Needed by 2040.

Figure 27 shows the recommended near-term roadway improvements. Figure 28 shows the recommended mid-term roadway improvements. Figure 29 shows the recommended long-term roadway improvements. Figure 30 shows the combination of the recommended roadway improvements across all three analysis periods. These figures only show the recommended improvements that the City of Mesa would likely financially contribute to directly. The limits of the recommended roadway improvements for all three analysis periods are listed in Table 13. It should be noted that the recommended improvements are ordered geographically in this table (prioritization of improvements within timeframes is presented in a subsequent table in this document).

The recommended near-term improvements address existing congestion and connectivity issues. The recommended mid-term improvements focus primarily around the airport and freeways, where significant growth in traffic volumes is projected over the next few years. The recommended long-term improvements address connectivity and congestion issues that are anticipated to become critical as the study area approaches the buildout condition.

Future Roadway Network Improvements by Others Improvements are also projected to be necessary along US 60, Loop 202, and SR 24 (all of which are ADOT facilities) as described in the subsequent bullets (with suggested timeframes provided for ADOT’s consideration): ◼

Widen US 60/Higley Rd eastbound (EB) offramp to 2 lanes (near-term);

◼

Widen US 60 to 3 general purpose freeway lanes in each direction: west of Signal Butte Rd to east of Meridian Rd (nearterm);

◼

Widen Loop 202/Power Rd westbound (WB) off-ramp to 2 lanes (mid-term);

◼

Widen SR 24 to 3 general purpose freeway lanes in each direction: Ellsworth Rd to Signal Butte Rd (mid-term);

◼

Widen SR 24/Signal Butte Rd EB off-ramp to 2 lanes (mid-term);

◼

Widen Loop 202/Elliot Rd northbound (NB) off-ramp to 2 lanes (long-term); and

◼

Widen SR 24 to 3 general purpose freeway lanes in each direction: Signal Butte Rd to Meridian Rd (long-term).

Improved Number of Lanes and Level of Service The 2018, 2030, and 2040 improved number of lanes were determined by adding the future proposed roadway network improvements by the City and ADOT to the baseline roadway network for each analysis year. Figure 31, Figure 32, and Figure 33 show the improved total number of lanes for the years 2018, 2030, and 2040, respectively. The 2018, 2030, and 2040 improved roadway LOS were determined by running the subarea model using the improved number of lanes and corresponding socioeconomic data. Figure 34 shows the segment LOS for the 2018 improved network. Based on the model results, the only study area roadway segments that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t operate at an acceptable LOS with minimal to moderate congestion are along US 60 and Loop 202. Figure 35 and Figure 36 show the segment LOS for the 2030 and 2040 improved networks, respectively. Based on the model results, the roadway segments nearing, at, or over capacity in 2030 are along the freeways or on the arterials near the freeways. By 2040, these same segments plus other segments of Ellsworth Road, Power Road, and Elliot Road are projected to be nearing, at, or over capacity.

Improvement Prioritization in Analysis Timeframes Prioritization criteria were developed in consultation with the City of Mesa to determine the suggested order in which the recommended improvements should be implemented within each of the analysis timeframes (i.e., near-term, mid-term, and long-term). This prioritization differs from the determination of which improvements correspond to each analysis timeframe in that it includes more factors than only addressing LOS needs. The prioritization criteria were split into the following four categories (with the noted weighted percentages): ◼

◼

Improves mobility and safety (42% weighting factor) – Project reduces mobility issues (i.e., congestion, delay, unreliability, access concerns) or safety issues, thereby improving the regional and local transportation network; Enhances economic vitality (27% weighting factor) – Project has a positive impact on the economy because it improves infrastructure or access within an economically strategic area (i.e., designated growth area, important economic corridor, employment center) or provides new strategic development opportunities, thereby improving general livability;

◼

Can feasibly be funded and is cost effective (18% weighting factor) – Project makes timely and efficient use of available funding; and

◼

Is compatible with approved plans and public input (12% weighting factor) – Project is a recommendation in an approved plan or has public support.

Each recommended improvement was scored within each of these four categories. These four scores were added together to give each recommended improvement project a total

60 | Final Report

prioritization score. Between improvement projects within the same analysis timeframe, a project with a higher prioritization score was prioritized above a project with a lower prioritization score. If two or more improvement projects had the same prioritization score, the improvement project with the higher number of projected employees in 2040 on adjacent land was ranked higher. Prioritization scores were compared only within analysis timeframes. For example, a low priority improvement in the near-term has a higher overall priority than a high priority improvement in the mid-term because near-term improvements address near-term needs and would likely be constructed by the time of need for mid-term improvements. The prioritization criteria matrix detailing the scoring within each prioritization criterion is provided in Appendix 5. Table 14 shows the resulting prioritization score and ranking of the recommended improvement projects, along with the factors considered in the prioritization scoring.

Estimates of Probable Cost for Improvements Planning-level opinions of estimated probable cost were developed for each of the improvement projects based on the following unit cost assumptions: ◼

New 2-lane road - $14 million/mile;

◼

New 4-lane road - $18 million/mile;

◼

New 6-lane road - $22 million/mile;

◼

Widen from 2-lane road to 4-lane road $16 million/mile;

◼

Widen from 2-lane road to 6-lane road $18 million/mile;


Final Report

â&#x2014;ź

Widen from 4-lane road to 6-lane road $14 million/mile;

â&#x2014;ź

Widen to add 1 lane in 1 direction $7 million/mile; and

â&#x2014;ź

Bridge - $200/square foot.

These unit cost assumptions were derived from recent planning-level unit costs provided by the City of Phoenix and the City of Chandler and include costs for design, construction, administration, and right-of-way. The planning-level estimates of probable cost for the recommended improvements are presented in Appendix 5, with improvements listed in priority order from top to bottom within each analysis timeframe per the previously described prioritization.

INTRODUCTION Rounds Consulting Group, Inc. (“RCG”) was tasked with developing an economic model to identify tax collections and the multiplier benefits resulting from the development of land for different uses (e.g., residential, office, industrial, etc.) to support a land use scenario evaluation as part of the Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan (“SE Mesa LUTP”). To provide perspective on the different economic and fiscal implications resulting from developments of different land uses, the model calculates the impacts generated by five different land use categories. These were identified as: 1) commercial/retail, 2) office, 3) industrial, 4) single family residential, and 5) multi-family residential. The model assumes the different developments would occur on the same hypothetical 10-acre property. The model was developed to be incremental and is the basis for modeling different scenarios – meaning it can be scaled to match the various development scenarios. For example, if one assumes the property available for development is double in size (i.e., 20 acres) the impact estimates can be doubled. The same principle applies if one assumes a site to be smaller. The incremental model was used to model build-out scenarios (development of all available vacant/underutilized land) for: 1) two independent sub-areas within the region, 2) the overall region with current zoning and land availability, and 3) the overall region with preferred future land uses.

MODEL METHODOLOGY DESCRIPTION Economic and fiscal impact models are an effective way to demonstrate regional implications of a particular project, policy, business, development or other activities in a given area. The study area can range from a single neighborhood or city to an entire state or country. Typically, the level of effects resulting from the activity are estimated in terms of output, earnings, employment, and tax revenues. RCG developed an economic and fiscal impact model to analyze the effects resulting from potential developments. The RCG model employs an input-output methodology commonly used by economists to determine impacts. This method was used to estimate the “multiplier” effects caused by the activities being analyzed. These activities were then converted into tax revenues in each of the relevant categories.

Economic Impact Model Methodology An economic impact model provides a quantifiable method to estimate the economic effects of a particular activity in a given area. Impacts can be used to measure existing activity and to measure potential expansions/contractions of an area’s economy resulting from changes in economic activity. In general, the level of economic effects resulting from the activity are estimated in terms of output, earnings, and employment. These are defined as:

1


•

Output captures the broader level of economic activity, or the total value of goods and services produced, in the region similar to how statistics like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) capture economic volume in individual states and across the country.

•

Earnings, a component of output, represent income to employees. The earnings component is used to measure the total change in income throughout the economy due to the economic or business activity.

•

Employment is the job count on an annualized basis.

The economic effects occurring as a direct consequence from the initial activity create additional activity in the regional economy. This relationship is known as the “multiplier” effect. The basis for multiplier effects (or “spinoff” effects) is the interdependencies between industries, how one industry impacts other sectors, and the cycle of spending and responding within the regional economy. An input-output model is used to generate these multipliers. The multipliers quantify relationships among industries and estimate the extent that the area being analyzed can capture sales, earnings, and job impacts within the region. Input-output models measure impacts based on their source. Direct effects are the result of the initial activity being analyzed. The multiplier effects, or secondary effects, are measured as either indirect or induced. These are defined as: •

Direct effects, or impacts, measure business activity at an individual site or the initial change in the economy attributed to the development under consideration. For example, if a manufacturing facility is under construction, this would include the workers that construct the facility and the manufacturing employees that later occupy the building on a regular basis.

•

Indirect impacts capture additional output, earnings, and employment changes generated as a result of increased demand in the industries which supply services or products to the direct business or development under consideration. For example, when the direct manufacturing facility purchases goods for the production of its products, the supplier must respond to the increased demand by hiring new employees to support its operations.

•

Induced impacts capture additional output, earnings, and employment changes generated as a result of increased spending in the local economy made by the households of both the direct and indirect employees. These induced companies respond by hiring, increasing payroll hours, and increasing wages.

A commonly used input-output model used to generate economic multipliers is IMPLAN (short for “impact analysis for planning”). Originally developed by the United States Forest Service in the 1970s, the responsibility for developing IMPLAN data sets shifted to the University of Minnesota as demand grew for regional models. Now, IMPLAN runs as its own private organization and is the leading provider of nationwide economic impact data and analytical software.

The RCG custom economic impact model employs this input-output methodology and uses area-specific IMPLAN multipliers.

Fiscal Impact Model Methodology Fiscal impact models provide estimates for the governmental revenues that are generated by a particular project, policy, business, development, or activity in a given area. Typically, fiscal impacts examine revenues that are likely to result from a project or activity and are determined by the study area’s tax structure. Fiscal impacts are categorized similar to economic impact studies and are broken down at the direct, indirect, and induced levels in which they are created. These revenues are expressed as either primary or secondary based on their source. In general, primary revenues can be estimated by definable sources such as sales taxes calculated from construction expenditures. For example, when a contractor builds a manufacturing facility, 65% of the contractor’s gross receipts are subject to Arizona’s state and local construction sales taxes. Those taxes are paid to the state, and to the county and city where the construction was performed. Secondary revenues are generated by the wages, residency, and spending of those direct, indirect, and induced employees who are supported by the business or economic activity. For example, this would include sales tax revenues generated when the manufacturing employees purchase dinner on their way home from work. The RCG custom fiscal impact model employs this methodology. The model was designed to produce revenue information for the City of Mesa (“Mesa,” or “City”).

Model Assumptions Economic and fiscal implications of an activity are determined by the interaction of a number of factors including business characteristics (e.g., type of businesses, number of employees, etc.), location and study area characteristics (e.g., state and local tax structure), taxable activity (e.g., area retail sales), and by the nature of any economic or demographic effects resulting from the activity (e.g., new employment/population added to area). Typical analyses involve the short-term (e.g., effects from construction) and the ongoing (operational) regional economic impacts of a particular project or activity. Short-term impacts are typically analyzed as construction impacts. Effects related to construction impacts are generally related to on- and off-site construction employment and the other industries that support construction. Ongoing impacts typically analyze the annual operational impacts. Effects related to ongoing impacts are generally related to the day-to-day operations of a particular activity or business. Inputs needed to calculate operational impacts vary by the type of activity. In general, impacts can be derived from employment counts and annual salaries, and by the type of business or industry the activity is in. Impacts were calculated based on the assumptions derived from industry standards. These estimates were based on currently available information and tax structures. Such information was compiled from a

variety of sources and is subject to uncertainty and variation. Therefore, actual impacts may vary, and some impacts may not materialize due to unanticipated events, locations, and changing circumstances.

POTENTIAL LAND USE IMPACTS An economic and fiscal impact model was developed for this assignment to provide perspective on the different economic and fiscal implications resulting from various development types on different land uses. The following land use categories were identified to provide perspective on the different impacts of developments for each type: 1) commercial/retail, 2) office, 3) industrial, 4) single family residential, and 5) multi-family residential. To use the various impacts as comparisons, the model assumes the different developments would occur on the same hypothetical property (i.e., the same size of property but designated by a different land use category). For this assignment, the example property is a 10-acre site located within the study area. This incremental impact model can then be scaled to match various development scenarios. Building assumptions are based on the City of Mesa’s Zoning Ordinances and Development Standards. Market statistics for vacancies, rental rates, home prices, floor area ratios, construction costs, etc. are based on current Mesa estimates from CoStar, Cromford Associates LLC, Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, Maricopa Association of Governments (“MAG”), Matrix Design Group, Inc. (“Matrix”), and various other sources.

Commercial/Retail Impacts Using industry standards, it is estimated that 113,256 square feet of commercial/retail space could be built on the 10-acre property. Construction of this type of development would directly support 70 persons earning a combined $5.0 million in wages and generate an economic output of $11.2 million. Another 57 employees, $3.0 million in wages, and $8.3 million in economic output are supported by the spinoff benefits. In total, an estimated 126 jobs, $8.0 million in wages, and $19.4 million in economic output is generated by construction of commercial/retail space on a 10-acre site. The City of Mesa collects an estimated $173,700 from construction activity. Once construction is completed, the commercial/retail space supports 207 direct jobs annually. These employees earn $8.0 million in wages and generate an economic output of $18.2 million. Annually, 111 indirect and induced jobs are supported with $5.3 million in wages and produce an economic output of $15.6 million. In total, 319 jobs, $13.3 million in wages, and $33.8 million in economic output is generated by commercial/retail operations. Each year, the City of Mesa collects $560,400 from the commercial/retail development. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 1 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 2.

Office Impacts Using industry standards, it is estimated that 130,700 square feet of office space could be built on the 10acre property. Construction of office space would directly support 117 persons earning a combined $8.4 million in wages and generate an economic output of $18.7 million. The indirect and induced effects bring the total number of jobs to 212. These employees earn $13.4 million in wages and generate $32.7 million in economic output. The City of Mesa collects $292,000 in tax revenues from a hypothetical office complex built on a 10-acre site. Once operational, the office development supports an estimated 400 direct jobs each year. These employees earn $25.4 million in wages and generate an economic output of $51.0 million. In total, 780 jobs, $43.9 million in wages, and $101.0 million in economic output is generated by office operations (includes direct, indirect, and induced impacts). Annually, the City collects $200,000 from taxes levied on activity derived from the office development.

Industrial Impacts Using industry standards, it is estimated that 139,400 square feet of industrial space could be built on the 10-acre property. About 124 total jobs are supported by construction activity. This includes 68 direct and 56 indirect and induced jobs. The combined wages earned by total construction jobs equals $7.8 million and generates $19.1 million in economic output. The City of Mesa collects $170,700 in tax revenues from an industrial development on the example 10-acre site. Each year the industrial facility directly employs 247 persons with $14.1 million in wages. The economic output produced by those jobs equals $76.5 million. Another 297 indirect/induced jobs are supported by annual operations. In total, 544 jobs, $30.5 million in wages, and $123.3 million in economic output is generated by industrial operations. Each year, the City of Mesa collects $133,000 in tax revenues from the industrial development. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 5 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 6.

Single Family Residential Impacts Using industry standards, it is estimated that 50 single family residential units could be built on the 10acre property. Construction of this type of development would directly support 79 persons earning a combined $4.9 million in wages and generate an economic output of $12.0 million. Another 89 employees, $4.2 million in wages, and $11.7 in economic output is supported by spinoff activity. In total, an estimated 168 jobs, $9.1 million in wages, and $23.7 million in economic output is generated from construction. The City of Mesa collects an estimated $164,700 in tax revenues from construction of the 50 single family homes. Residents who later occupy the newly constructed housing units support a total of 84 jobs, $3.5 million in wages, and $8.9 million in economic output each year. Of the total, 55 workers are employed as a direct result of household spending and another 29 workers are supported by spinoff activity. Annually, Mesa collects $60,400 from taxes levied on the spending of the 50 households and the spending of the employees supported by residents. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 7 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 8.

Multi-Family Residential Impact Using industry standards, it is estimated that 200 multi-family residential units could be built on the 10acre property. Construction of the multi-family complex directly supports 138 persons earning a combined $8.6 million in wages and generates an economic output of $21.0 million. The indirect and induced effects bring the total number of jobs supported to 294. These employees earn $15.9 million in wages and generate $41.5 million in economic output. The City of Mesa collects $288,600 in tax revenues from a multi-family development at the 10-acre site. Each year the completed multi-family complex supports 183 persons with $7.7 million in wages. The economic output produced by those jobs equals $19.4 million. This includes the direct jobs who are employed at the development, the jobs supported by residential spending, and the spinoff effects created by those jobs. Each year, the City collects $168,400 in tax revenues from the multi-family complex. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 9 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 10.

Impact Comparisons The development of the 10-acre property into industrial, commercial/retail, or office space will yield a minimum of 113,256 square feet of utilized space. A hypothetical commercial/retail development will occupy 113,256 square feet of space, an industrial development will occupy 139,400 square feet, and an office development will occupy 130,700 square feet. Construction impacts vary for the type of development. An industrial facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction would support a total of 124 jobs with combined wages of $7.8 million and an economic output of $19.1 million. The construction of an office development would support 212 jobs earning $13.4 million in wages with an economic output of $32.7 million. Finally, the construction of a commercial/retail development would support 126 jobs earning $8.0 million in wages with an economic output of $19.4 million. The City would see significant tax revenues from each type of development. Mesa will collect $170,700 in tax revenues from the construction of an industrial development, $292,000 in tax revenues from the construction of an office development, and $173,700 from the construction of a commercial/retail development. The operational impacts from each type of development are significant for the City. An industrial facility would support, through direct, indirect, and induced employment, 544 jobs annually earning $30.5 million in wages with an economic output of $123.3 million. An office development would support 780 jobs earning $43.9 million in wages with an economic output of $101.0 million. A commercial/retail development would support 319 jobs earning $13.3 million in wages with an economic output of $33.8 million. The City will collect $133,000 in tax revenues from an industrial development, $200,000 in tax revenues from an office development, and $560,400 in tax revenues annually from a commercial/retail development. The development of the 10-acre property into either multi-family or single-family residential units will also generate impacts for the City. Approximately 200 multi-family residential units can be constructed on the 10-acre site. The construction of approximately 200 multi-family units would support 294 total jobs earning $15.9 million in wages with an economic output of $41.5 million. The City would collect $288,600 in tax revenues from the construction of multi-family units on the property. It is estimated that 50 singlefamily residential units could be built on the 10-acre property. The construction of 50 single-family units would support 168 total jobs earning $9.1 million in wages with an economic output of $23.7 million. The City would collect $164,700 in tax revenues from the construction of 50 single-family residential units. The multi-family residential development would support 183 total jobs annually once built. Those jobs would include individuals employed at the property, jobs supported by residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spending, and the additional effects created by those jobs. The 183 jobs would earn $7.7 million with an economic output of $19.4 million. The City would collect $168,400 in tax revenues annually from the spending of a multifamily residential development. The single-family residential development would support 84 total jobs earning $3.5 million in wages with an economic output of $8.9 million. The City would collect $60,400 in tax revenues annually from the spending of a single-family residential development. Total Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 11 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 12.

BUILD-OUT OF SUB-AREAS The aforementioned incremental modeling was used to estimate the economic and fiscal impacts resulting from the development of all vacant/underutilized (i.e., vacant or used for agricultural and open space) land in two independent sub-areas. The two sub-areas were identified within the Inner Loop and Logistics & Commerce Districts. The SE Mesa LUTP study area and sub-areas are depicted in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3, respectively. Building assumptions are based on the City of Mesa’s Zoning Ordinances and Development Standards. Market statistics for vacancies, rental rates, home prices, floor area ratios, construction costs, etc. are based on current Mesa estimates from CoStar, Cromford Associates LLC, MAG, Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, Matrix, and various other sources.

result of these secondary impacts. Overall, 15,279 jobs, $888.4 million in wages, and $2.2 billion in economic output is generated by construction. The City of Mesa collects $17.7 million in tax revenues from construction. After construction, the sub-areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developed 1,056 acres support 16,305 direct jobs with $862.9 million in wages annually. The economic output generated by direct activities equals $4.3 billion. An additional 17,223 indirect and induced jobs are supported by the newly constructed developments. In total, 33,528 jobs, $1.8 billion in wages, and $6.9 billion in economic output is generated by the build-out of the Inner Loop sub-area. Annually, the City of Mesa collects $12.2 million in tax revenues from operational activities of the 1,056 acres that are currently vacant/underutilized in the sub-area. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 13 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 14.

BASELINE BUILD-OUT SCENARIO A baseline build-out scenario was developed using the existing zoning of properties within the SE Mesa LUTP study area that are vacant or underutilized (i.e., used for agriculture and open space). Vacant/underutilized land located within county islands is excluded. For this baseline scenario, it is assumed all currently vacant/underutilized land would be developed under existing zoning. The aforementioned economic and fiscal impact model is used to extrapolate the baseline impacts. In total, Matrix identified 10,391.8 acres as vacant, in agricultural production, or certain open space areas within the study area that could potentially by developed. Table 17 summarizes the 10,391.8 acres. Table 17: Vacant/Underutilized Land in the SE Mesa LUTP Study Area Vacant/Underutilized Land Zoning

In this baseline scenario, if all potential land is developed, construction directly supports 73,861 persons earning a combined $5.0 billion in wages and generate an economic output of $11.6 billion. The indirect and induced effects bring the total number of jobs supported by construction to 142,795. These employees earn $8.5 billion in wages and generate $21.2 billion in economic output. The City of Mesa collects $173.4 million in tax revenues from construction. Development of all the potential land would support 182,995 direct jobs with $9.7 billion in wages annually. The economic output generated by direct activities equals $47.9 billion. An additional 193,831 indirect and induced jobs are supported by the newly constructed developments. The total annual economic output generated by this build-out scenario equals $78.1 billion. Annually, the City of Mesa collects $152.6 million in tax revenues from the development of the 10,391.8 acres that are currently vacant/underutilized. Impacts for construction are summarized in Table 18 and impacts for annual operations are summarized in Table 19.

Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan

Appendix 2: Subarea Model Development

Final Report


Southeast Mesa Subarea Model – Base Year 2018 Model Development and Validation

Technical Memorandum - Mesa Subarea Travel Demand Model Base Year 2018 Model Development and Validation This memorandum details the base year (2018) subarea travel demand model development process for the southeast area in the City of Mesa.

1.0 Introduction As part of the Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan Study, Kimley-Horn developed a subarea travel demand model to forecast the future year traffic volume in the study area. The subarea model is based on the current version of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Travel Demand Model (the Regional Model). Because the Regional Model mainly focuses on arterial roadways in the entire region, it has insufficient granularity on both traffic analysis zones (TAZs) and highway network in the study area. To forecast the future traffic condition more accurately in the study area, a subarea model with a base year 2018 needed to be developed and validated. TAZs and associated demographic and economic data also had to be refined. More roadways that are significant in the study area had to be added to the highway network. The traffic assignment results were compared with the collected traffic counts to evaluate the model performance. This Memorandum details the base year (2018) subarea model development process.

2.0 Subarea Model Boundary and Input Data As the first step of the subarea travel demand model development process, the base year (2018) model was developed and validated to make sure that the subarea model would reproduce and represent the base year traffic conditions with reasonable accuracy. Existing TAZs in the study area were reviewed and recommendations were made to split 57 TAZs in the study area into 126 new TAZs. This refined TAZ structure allowed enough granularity to capture the full build-out land use, zoning, and new future roadways in the study area. Next, additional roadways that are significant in the study area but are not included in the regional model were added to the highway network with their characteristics coded properly. Then, the demographic and employment distribution information was adjusted based on the new TAZ structure.

Subarea Model Boundary Using MAG’s Regional Model, a subarea analysis was conducted by MAG staff to extract the subarea from the Regional Model. After the process, all roadways crossing the subarea boundary became external stations of the proposed subarea model. Subarea highway network, trip tables, and assignment results were provided to Kimley-Horn by MAG. The boundary of the subarea model was carefully selected using the following criteria: 

Provide a sufficiently large buffer zone around the Southeast Mesa study area,

Include logical diversion points when traveling towards the study area, and

Minimize the number of external stations

Figure 2-1 shows the subarea model boundary, in relation to the City limit and the Southeast Mesa study area boundaries.

Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan

Figure 2-1 Subarea Model Boundary

Refinement of Traffic Analysis Zone Structure The Regional Model consists of 57 TAZs in the study area. Figure 2-2 shows the existing regional TAZ boundaries in the study area. To more accurately model the development of the study area, TAZs were generally split into smaller geographic areas based on the future land use type and density, major road locations, and the plausible redevelopment phases of adjacent parcels. In the development of the new TAZ structure, the following TAZ boundary criteria or guidelines were followed to the extent possible: 

Geographic features such as rivers, streams, and ditches

Existing and planned transportation facilities

Consistent land uses across the zone as much as possible

Evaluation of existing and future land uses and zoning

Configuration consistent with the available transportation network/infrastructure serving the zone

Configuration of zones and zonal boundaries such that trips can be loaded to the proper roadway functional classification of the internal transportation network within the TAZ itself.

The expanded and refined TAZ structure now consists of 126 zones in the study area. The new TAZ structure allows enough granularity to capture the evaluation of proposed land use, zoning, and new future roadways in the area. A map of the new TAZ boundaries is shown in Figure 2-3.

Highway Network Development The highway network carried over from the regional model was verified based on the Arizona Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functional classification map and aerial photography. Some collector roads, feeder roads, and local roads were added to the subarea model network. These roads provide necessary connectivity in the study area. Figure 2-6 shows the base year highway network by functional classification.

3.0 Subarea Model Components and Parameters The subarea model is a four-step model with trip generation, distribution, mode split, and traffic assignment. Compared with the Regional Model, the subarea model was simplified in the following major aspects: 

No transit component

Uses gravity models for trip distribution

Uses a simplified mode split model based on distance only

No time-of-day component

Trip Generation The same trip production and attraction models and their specifications from the Regional Model were used by the subarea model. Internal trip generation models were developed for the following six trip purposes: 

Home-based work (HBW)

Home-based school (HBSC)

Home-based shopping (HBSP)

Home-based university (HBU)

Trip Distribution The subarea model uses the most common type of trip distribution model, the gravity model, for all trip purposes. The gravity model formulation can be expressed as the equation below: đ?&#x2018;&#x2021;đ?&#x2018;&#x2013;,đ?&#x2018;&#x2014; =

Mode Split The utility-based mode choice model in the Regional Model cannot be directly borrowed as the subarea model does not include a transit component. A simplified mode split process was used instead. For each trip

purpose, a set of mode split factors was developed based on the travel distance between productionattraction zone pairs. These factors were estimated using the person and modal-person trip tables from the Regional Model. The calculated auto mode shares by trip purpose are shown in Table 3-6 below: Table 3-6 Auto Mode Share by Travel Distance P-A Distance 0 - 0.5 miles

The factors can be read as percentages. For example, a HBW factor of 0.529 for trips less than one-half mile means 52.9% of these trips are automobile trips. As the trip distance increases, the share of non-auto trips decreases. This approach allows a slightly more realistic conversion, as travel distance is a statistically significant variable in most mode choice models.

Traffic Assignment The subarea model assigned highway trips in two steps: a multimodal multi-class (MMA) all-or-nothing preload assignment, and a MMA User Equilibrium (UE) assignment. The initial all-or-nothing assignment was used to “preload” through trips and large commercial vehicle trips. These trips are less sensitive to travel time and do not reroute trips based on congestion as often as trips such as an internal home-basedwork auto trip. Volume-delay functions used for the assignment were based on time and period capacity and are modified versions of the Bureau of Public Road (BPR) curves. The volume-delay curves have varied coefficients for different roadway functional classification and link speed. Preload Assignment The first step of the highway assignment procedure was to “preload” through trips. The preload assignment used an all-or-nothing method, which assigns trips between origin-destination pairs based on the shortest path established by the free-flow travel time. This assignment procedure is intended to reflect the insensitivity congestion has on external trips, especially long-haul truck trips, as they are typically much less likely to divert to another roadway than other types of trips, either due to lack of knowledge about the area, perceived inconvenience, or restrictions against heavy trucks. The following trip tables were loaded during the preload assignment procedure: 

External-External (through trips) single-unit (SU) trucks

All combination-unit (CU) trucks

Since there is no reflection of delay in the choice of path for these trips, no volume-delay function is required and only one assignment iteration is required.

Southeast Mesa Subarea Model – Base Year 2018 Model Development and Validation

MMA User Equilibrium Assignment The second step of the highway assignment procedure was to load all remaining trips not considered in the preload assignment. Preloaded trips are addressed in the assignment procedures as background traffic that reduces capacity but does not divert to another route. The remaining trips are loaded using an MMA userequilibrium assignment, which assigns trips between origin-destination pairs in an iterative fashion that accounts for link congestion on route choice. The user-equilibrium assignment procedure computes the link travel time, assigns link traffic based on shortest path, and then recalculates the link travel time. This step is repeated until the user equilibrium conditions are met: all used paths for each O-D pair are minimal and equal; and any unused path for a given O-D pair has a greater travel time than any used paths for that O-D pair. In TransCAD’s implementation, the convergence of user equilibrium is measured by the “relative gap,” which is an estimate of the “distance” between current solution and the user equilibrium solution. The relative gap is defined as follows:

x

Relative gap =

links

UE t i

x

links UE t i

AON t i

x

links

Where:

xiUE

= Current flow on link i

xiAON

=

All-or-nothing flow on link i

xiUE t

=

Current travel time on link i

The traffic assignment stops when the current iteration relative gap is below a user specified threshold or the maximum number of iterations is reached. For user equilibrium assignment, light trucks are combined with auto trips, and are assigned to the network as automobile trips. Volume-Delay Function The subarea model uses the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) formula as the volume-delay function to relate travel time to the volume/capacity ratio. The BPR formula is shown below, 4  V   TN  T0  1  0.15    C   

In the equation, the coefficient 0.15 is known as the alpha value and the exponent of 4 is known as the beta value. Different functionally classified roads are known to have different alpha and beta values. The values of 0.15 and 4 are recognized as the most generic. The alpha and beta settings are based on the type of facility and its posted speed. Settings are automatically applied in the code and have been developed based on the coefficients presented in NCHRP Report 716. Table 3-7 lists the alpha and beta settings, by functional classification, for the Southeast Mesa model.

4.0 Base Year Model Validation and Performance Review Each step of the models was calibrated and validated individually first. As the starting point of the overall model calibration effort, the initial highway assignment was made using the trip tables produced by the upstream models. The steps of model calibration involved the following calibration strategies: 

Review and eliminate highway network coding errors

Adjust centroid connector locations based on adjacent network link loading

Adjust gravity model friction factors/average trip lengths

Review assigned volume target based on traffic count data

Review capacity equations and volume delay function parameters by functional classification

This section presents the final model validation results after the model calibration and validation steps above. The model results were validated at varying levels of aggregation, based on the requirements from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Travel Demand Modeling Guidelines.

Trip Generation The trip generation models were applied using the base year 2018 demographic and employment data. Table 4-1 summarizes the aggregate person trip rates per TAZ, person, households, and employment. Table 4-1 Aggregate Trip Rates Statistics

Another validation measure closely related to trip length distributions is the fraction of intrazonal trips. Intrazonal trips are made within the same zone and are not assigned to the model network. The percentage of intrazonal trips provides a measure for the amount of “very short” trips. Table 4-4 shows the comparison between the calibrated trip distribution models and the Regional Model.

Daily Traffic Volumes Compared to Counts The coefficient of determination (đ?&#x2018;&#x2026; 2) is a useful measure to compare system-wide observed traffic counts with estimated volumes. The subarea model has an đ?&#x2018;&#x2026; 2 value of 0.84. The model area within the City limit has an đ?&#x2018;&#x2026; 2 value of 0.87. The Southeast Mesa study area has an đ?&#x2018;&#x2026; 2 value of 0.89. The closer to 1.0 the đ?&#x2018;&#x2026; 2 value is, the closer the modeled volumes and counted volumes are. The subarea modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s root mean square error (%RMSE) is 36.3%. The model area within the City limit has a %RMSE value of 31.3%. The Southeast Mesa study area has a %RMSE value of 32.1%. All of these percentages are below the acceptable maximum %RMSE value of 45% suggested by FHWA Guidelines. Table 4-7 through Table 4-9 compare the daily volumes with targets by functional classification. Table 4-10 through 4-12 present the model volumes and validation targets by volume groups. The results show that the model effectively estimates volumes both by functional classification and volume group.

Southeast Mesa Subarea Model â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Base Year 2018 Model Development and Validation

Screen Line and Cut Line Volumes As a part of the model calibration and validation process, nine screen lines were developed for the subarea model to gauge how well the model replicates traffic between different areas within the model. Figure 4-7 shows the screen line locations. Table 4-13 shows the percent errors at screen lines. All screen lines and cut lines fell within the desired targets. Figure 4-8 shows the daily traffic volume and level of service in the study area for base year 2018

Appendix 6: Community Meeting Summaries

Final Report


Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan Community Meeting #1 Summary Overview The City of Mesa held the first community meeting for the Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan on November 11, 2018 at the Eastmark Visitor Center, where 126 people attended. During the community meeting, attendees were shown a presentation that introduced the project and then invited to participate in an interactive exercise that included an eight-question keypad survey and a mapping activity. Due to the large attendance, attendees were broken up into three smaller groups and the presentation and interactive exercises were given three times. Having smaller groups allowed for a more comfortable meeting space as well as a more personal environment for attendees to provide input and ask questions. Prior to the presentation, residents were asked to place a dot on the general area of where they live. This was to help get a reading of where in the project area (if anywhere) the attendees were coming from and their familiarity with the area. The Where Do You Live? Map can be seen on Page 5. A number of poster boards were also provided that detailed the project study area and additional information regarding the project area. Residents were also provided with a comment card on which they could provide detailed, written comments. A total of nine (9) comment cards were received with comments. Comments from the cards were varied, but a few of the common comments included a request to leave Crismon Road as is, as well as extending Meridian Road and improving Signal Butte Road. Scans of all the comment cards received during the community meeting are available on Pages 7 through 15. The full presentation and additional materials used at the community meeting can be found on the project website here. City staff and members of the project team were made available at all points during the community meeting to answer any questions attendees may have had.

Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan

Keypad Survey An eight-question survey was included as part of the presentation. The questions were intended to gain a general understanding of where the public would like to see transportation improvements. While the survey was broad in topic, the mapping exercise portions of the community meeting was more specific and definitive. This survey was posted online for two weeks after the first community meeting. A total of 28 respondents participated in the survey. A full portrayal of the survey and responses, inclusive of the online survey, are available on Pages 16 through 19. The following are highlight points of the survey results from the community meeting: ◼ ◼ ◼

◼ ◼ ◼

33.6% of respondents identified they have lived in Mesa between 1 and 5 years, 30.2% identified they have lived in Mesa greater than 20 years. 80.7% of the respondents live, work, or own a business in the northeast part of the project area. (roughly north of Williams Field Road and east of the Loop 202) 28.2% and 23.9% of respondents felt that Collectors (minor roads) and Bicycle/Pedestrian facilities, respectively, should be improved within the next 1-5 years. Subsequent discussions with attendees after the survey discovered that some attendees interpreted Collectors (minor roads) to be any road with two lanes, rather than the more traditional definition of Collectors being lower volume/lower speed roads that connect Local roads to the Arterial network. In light of this discovery, it is believed many of the survey respondents who picked Collectors (minor roads) intended to mean two-lane roads with lots of traffic, which matches the description of many of the Arterials that have not been improved. Long term (6-10 years), the highest percentage of respondents, 23.9%, felt public transit should be improved. The north/south roadway that was identified as needing improvements first was Signal Butte Road, followed closely by Ellsworth Road. The east/west roadway that was identified as needing improvements first was Warner Road, followed by Elliot Road and Ray Road.

Mapping Exercise After the presentation and keypad survey, attendees were invited to participate in a mapping exercise in which they were able to identify 5 positive attributes (green dots) about Mesa and 5 attributes that need to be improved (red dots). Two wall maps were made available, one outside the presentation room and one inside. Along with the dots, attendees provided a comment on the attribute and the comment was assign a category based on its topic. The categories were transportation, land use, and economic development. Each dot was assigned a number that corresponded with its comment. The full comment sheets and photos of the wall maps are provided on Pages 21 through 26. The majority of the positive attributes were related to the high-quality master planned communities in the project area including Eastmark, Bella Via, Mesquite Canyon, and Sunland Springs Village. The majority of the negative attributes were transportation related, specifically along Ellsworth Road and Signal Butte Road. The following are highlights of the map exercise:

Positive Attributes ◼ View of the mountains to the east ◼ Good neighborhoods, schools, and parks 2

Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan Community Meeting #2 Summary

Overview The City of Mesa held the second community meeting for the Southeast Mesa Land Use and Transportation Plan on March 27, 2019 at Desert Ridge High School, Lecture Hall, where 128 people attended. As residents signed in, they were asked to identify where they live by placing a dot on the map of the study area. The majority of participants came from Eastmark and the neighborhoods along Guadalupe Road between Loop 202 and Meridian Road. The Where Do You Live? Map results can be seen on Page 3. During the community meeting, attendees were shown a presentation that provided an overview of the planning process and introduced the recommended improvements to the transportation network. A copy of the presentation begins on Page 4. After the presentation, the meeting broke out into an open house format in which participants were invited to view boards and ask City staff and the consultants questions. The boards displayed were:          

Comments Received Comment cards were made available to participants to provide feedback on the recommended improvements. The comment cards included three questions for participants to answer. A total of 17 comment cards were submitted during the meeting. The following is a summary of the responses to the questions organized by question:

What proposed improvement recommendations do you agree with (if any) and why? Thirteen (13) participants responded to this question. The following is a summary of the responses:            

All recommendations up to 2040 look well thought out Agree with all of them – improvements welcome Bringing Signal Butte Rd through to SR 24; completing SR 24 all the way to Ironwood Rd Priority ‐ get SR 24 stretched to Florence Through streets to Queen Creek Continue Elliot Rd to Ironwood Rd Prioritize Ellsworth Rd Ellsworth Rd and SR 24 Ellsworth Rd widening is creating congestion Intersection of Loop 202 and Ray Rd very congested Continue Meridian Rd to SR 60 Make Signal Butte Rd six lanes initially so there is not continuous construction

What proposed improvement recommendations do you disagree with (if any) and why? Seven (7) participants responded to this question. The following is a summary of the responses:     

Signal Butte Rd can help to take traffic off Ellsworth Rd NOT Sossaman Rd None – all good especially with new high school and other new communities in the area None Meridian Rd from US 60 and Baseline Rd to Elliot Rd – Sunland Springs is a quiet neighborhood and major concerns about noise level from traffic Meridian Rd improvements from Elliot Rd to Germann Rd. It needs to stay rural

Any other input you would like to provide? Fourteen (14) participants responded to this question. The following is a summary of the responses.       

Would like to see Crismon Rd go all the way through to Queen Creek Priority should be given to widening Signal Butte Rd between Ray Rd and Germann Rd, and Ray Rd and Power Rd Would like to see Meridian Rd complete from Baseline Rd to at least Ray Rd to help alleviate traffic on Signal Butte Rd. Hawes Rd completion to Warner Rd seems important Need Meridian Rd to run completely north to south from US 60 to SR 24 – can Mesa annex State Land east of Meridian Rd? Traffic light synching is in need of review Bicycle safety considerations

Scans of all the comment cards received during the community meeting are available on Page 6.

Future Land Use Plan 2030 Percent Built Out ▪ Population in study area expected to grow by approximately 47,000 people, a 47% increase over the current population ▪ Population growth primarily focused between Ellsworth Rd and Signal Butte Rd north of SR 24 ▪ Employment uses will develop south of airport and along the two freeways, tripling employment in study area 12


Future Land Use Plan 2040 Buildout ▪ By 2040, study area is expected to be nearly built out ▪ An additional 25,000 people expected to move to area ▪ Employment growth (light industrial and commercial) to bring 100,000 additional employees between 2030 and 2040 ▪ Based on existing zoning assumptions 13


Economic Impact Analysis Future Land Use Scenario ▪ Development of future available land = 13,622 acres ▪ Jobs at build-out = 478,901 ▪ Total economic output generated at build-out = $94.5 billion

14


Draft Future Transportation Plan

15


“Baseline” Scenario ▪ Several improvements already under construction, funded (programmed), or committed ▪ SR 24 extension to Ironwood Rd as 4-lane interim freeway ▪ New segments of Signal Butte Rd and Meridian Rd to connect to SR 24 ▪ Some privately funded roads (e.g., Eastmark) 16


Traffic Conditions – 2018 Baseline ▪ Ellsworth Rd south of SR 24 close to capacity ▪ Sossaman Rd near Pecos Rd close to capacity ▪ Much of rest of road network has minimal congestion ▪ Several gaps in grid network

17


Traffic Conditions – 2030 Baseline ▪ Ellsworth Rd south of Warner Rd at or over capacity ▪ Signal Butte Rd south of SR 24 at or over capacity ▪ Parts of Elliot Rd and Warner Rd over capacity ▪ Pecos Rd at or over capacity ▪ Congestion at several Loop 202 traffic interchanges 18


Traffic Conditions – 2040 Baseline ▪ Much of network south of Elliot Rd over capacity ▪ Demand on Ellsworth Rd is double the available capacity ▪ SR 24 over capacity ▪ Elliot Rd at or over capacity ▪ Northern part of study area generally still has minimal congestion 19


Draft Recommended Improvement Plan ▪ Most of network will have minimal or moderate congestion if implement recommended improvements ▪ Near-term: widen Ellsworth Rd and extend Sossaman Rd across Loop 202 to Ray Rd ▪ Long-term: grid network of 4-lane and 6-lane arterial roads 20


Next Steps

21


Remaining Tasks ▪ Finalize recommendations – April 2019 ▪ Prioritize recommendations – May 2019 ▪ Draft Final Report – June 2019 ▪ Final Report – July 2019

Projected Future Population and Employment Growth By 2040, the population in the study area is expected to grow by approximately 72,000 people representing 26% of the City’s overall population. Future growth scenarios for 2030 and 2040 were established to determine areas of potential new growth in the study area based on the land use mix. Areas of potential new growth include properties that are currently vacant, in agricultural production, or in certain open space conditions.

Informational Brochure

Future Roadway Network By assessing projected future population and employment growth, the City of Mesa can better identify where roadway network enhancements are needed to accommodate future growth.

2040 Traffic Conditions Without Improvements

Baseline Traffic Analysis: §§ Without improvements beyond the currently funded projects, most of the roadway network south of Elliot Road is projected to be near or over capacity. §§ Projected vehicular demand on Ellsworth Road south of SR 24 will be double the current capacity of the roadway. §§ SR 24 freeway, with two lanes in each direction, will be over capacity by 2040.

Draft Recommended Improvement Plan

Preliminary Recommendations: §§ With the recommended improvements, almost all of the roadway network is projected to have minimal or moderate congestion. §§ Near-term priorities (besides currently funded projects) include widening Ellsworth Road between SR 24 and Germann Road and extending Sossaman Road across Loop 202 to Ray Road. §§ Ultimate roadway network needs to be a fully developed grid network of 4-lane and 6-lane arterials to provide sufficient capacity and travel route choices for drivers.
