Fire None None expected at Fire Station #18, the closest to this urban village, has an this time. average response time of 3.66 minutes for emergency medical calls and 4.63 minutes for fire calls. Industry standards are to maintain a 4-6 minute response time or less for emergency medical calls and a 5-minute or less response time for first response to fire emergencies. Response times for this station meet industry standards and are expected to for the next six years.

Police None Additional In 1998 the Police Department will conduct a Police Precinct precinct space Planning Study intended to address the impacts of the shifting may be required. emphasis toward community policing techniques on the need for and nature of precinct-related facilities. The project will also contain an operational plan for precinct-based operations and a facilities plan for supporting those operations. Different facility requirements may be identified and planned for as a result of this study.

Schools School facility expansions or Seattle School district standard physical goals are as follows improvements are not expected for : a) Elementary schools: 380-535 students, 4-acre site; to be required as a result of b) Middle school: 600-800 students, 12-acre site; and c) growth in this village. High School 1,000-1,600 students, 17-acre site. Currently, about 50% of public school students attend schools in their neighborhoods, and the other 50% choose schools elsewhere.

Limiting the rate of stormwater runoff from these sites more than offsets the increases in sewage flow from increased population density. The net effect of new development/redevelopment in this area will be a decrease in the peak rates of flow during storm events. Depending on the concentration of actual development, it is possible that isolated sewer capacity improvements would be needed.

For partially separated systems, wastes from growth will constitute small incremental flows that are not likely to exceed capacity. On-site detention requirements for new growth will address the adequacy of the drainage system for this area.

The volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio is an indicator of congestion. The table above shows existing V/C ratios and projections of V/C ratios for a typical evening peak hour in 2010 for all arterials in the Ballard hub urban village. The existing V/C ratios are estimated from traffic counts collected in 1992 through 1995. Compare existing V/C ratios to the 2010 forecast to see the potential change over 20 years.

The V/C ratio can be used to identify areas where neighborhood or citywide transportation plans could encourage changes in travel behavior (e.g., mode, time of travel, destination) or improve operation of the street (e.g., by changing signal timing and the like). The capacity of a street is not a fixed number of vehicles that can never be exceeded. Rather, it is a relative measure of traffic flow.

Arterial segments with a V/C ratio exceeding 1.0 now or possibly in the future might warrant attention in a neighborhood plan. High V/C ratios may be tolerable if the result is to shift people into other modes, or is a result of the development densities necessary for a vital urban village.

Existing conditions: 15th Ave. NW from NW Leary Way to NW 65th St. has a V/C ratio near 1.1. All other arterial streets have V/C ratios at or below 0.8.

15th Ave. NW, NW Market St. east of 15th Ave. NW, and Leary Ave. NW are principal arterials. South of the urban village, 15th Ave. NW (Ballard Bridge) is one of six arterials/highways crossing the Ship Canal.

15th Ave. NW, NW Market St. east of 24th Ave. NW, Leary Ave. NW, and 24th Ave. NW are Transit Priority Network streets.

Future conditions: The V/C ratio on 15th Ave. NW is projected to increase to above 1.1. All other arterials are projected to have V/C ratios at or below 0.8.

The volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio is an indicator of congestion. The table above shows existing V/C ratios and projections of V/C ratios for a typical evening peak hour in 2010 for all arterials in the Crown Hill residential urban village. The existing V/C ratios are estimated from traffic counts collected in 1992 through 1995. Compare existing V/C ratios to the 2010 forecast to see the potential change over 20 years.

The V/C ratio can be used to identify areas where neighborhood or citywide transportation plans could encourage changes in travel behavior (e.g., mode, time of travel, destination) or improve operation of the street (e.g., by changing signal timing and the like). The capacity of a street is not a fixed number of vehicles that can never be exceeded. Rather, it is a relative measure of traffic flow.

Arterial segments with a V/C ratio exceeding 1.0 now or possibly in the future might warrant attention in a neighborhood plan. High V/C ratios may be tolerable if the result is to shift people into other modes, or is a result of the development densities necessary for a vital urban village.

Existing conditions: 15th Ave. NW between NW 80th St. to Holman Rd. NW has a V/C ratio of approximately 0.9. All other arterial streets have V/C ratios at or below 0.8.

15th Ave. NW south of Holman Rd. NW, Holman Rd. NW, and NW 85th St. east of 15th Ave. NW are principal arterials. Together, 15th Ave. NW and Holman Rd. NW provide a continuous arterial connecting Ballard and the Interbay area to North Seattle and I-5.

The three principal arterials in the Crown Hill urban village are also Transit Priority Network streets. In addition, NW 85th St. west of 15th Ave. NW is on the Transit Priority Network.

Future conditions: The V/C ratio on 15th Ave. NW is projected to increase above 1.0, and the V/C ratio on Holman Rd NW is projected to increase to near 0.9. All other arterials are projected to have V/C ratios below 0.8.

LAND USE ELEMENT APPENDIX B

Footnotes

1 Urban centers are not assigned planning estimates. Growth targets for urban centers are established in land use element section C. Growth targets for urban villages are established upon adoption of a neighborhood plan.

2 Assumes north Kingdome parking lot and vacant floor area in existing structures is available to accommodate a substantial share of household and employment growth.

3 No additional student housing growth according to UW General Physical Development Plan.

4 The areas to which numbers apply for land area, existing households and jobs, planning estimates and existing and planned densities for each hub and residential urban village are the unadopted village boundaries shown in Land Use Appendix A, above.

5 Eighty percent of the current zoning capacity in South Lake Union can accommodate 1,700 households. To guide the Seattle Commons planning effort, the long-term residential planning estimate for the area is a total of 4,900 households. It is assumed that the 3,200 households that presently cannot be accommodated in the area will be accommodated elsewhere in the city where there is available zoning capacity until necessary zoning changes can be made under the Seattle Commons Plan.

6 Because of the potential for redevelopment of the Holly Park Garden Community according to a neighborhood plan currently underway, a greater growth planning estimate is established for this area relative to other similar residential urban villages.

In the case of larger fires, firefighting and medical resources are also dispatched from other stations. Aid units and fire engines are equipped to handle many medical emergencies; medic units are dispatched to serious medical emergencies.

3 Through the student assignment plan, the village is served by a number of designated regular elementary schools, and at least six Seattle School District Alternative Schools. School capacities are determined in part by the mix of programs offered and the number of portable classrooms used, and are subject to change. 4 Parks and Other Resources shown are inside the village or within 1/8 mile of the unadopted village boundary.

5 Minimum working pressure of 30 psi is the standard for new construction and 80 psi is the new standard for maximum pressure. Some areas of Seattle exceed the maximum and other areas have less than the minimum pressure. 6 An explanation of the methodologies used to assess adequacy can be obtained from the Neighborhood Planning Office. 7 The results of this analysis are not intended for measuring concurrency. Previous concurrency analyses contained in the Comprehensive Plan indicate that Level-of-Service standards will not be exceeded by the 20-year growth projected for this area (see Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element).
