Things to Know about the Peterkort Planned Unit Development
Sunset Station & Barnes Road Planned Unit Development (PUD) Application, April 2013
Peterkort PUD Draft Transportation Impact Analysis, April 2013
Peterkort PUD is NOT a Mixed Use Development
- Don’t be confused by what you read or hear in the press or elsewhere
- Mixed use is defined as residential + commercial IN THE SAME BUILDING
- Peterkort PUD merely proposes multiple uses ON THE SAME PROPERTY
- Peterkorts only believe in traditional auto-centric suburban development
Peterkort PUD Will Enable Walmart
- Peterkort PUD proposes 163,000 square feet of retail at southwest corner of Barnes Road and Cedar Hills Blvd.
- Similar 2005 Walmart proposal was 166,000 square feet
- Only Walmart can afford 2-story store with structured parking (500 total spaces)
- Both Transportation Impact Analyses were written by same traffic engineer
- By the time you hear them say “Walmart” it will be too late
Peterkort PUD Is a Traffic Behemoth
- Traffic at 9 area intersections already fail Level of Service standards, particularly southbound Cedar Hills Blvd. in the morning
- Peterkort PUD will generate about 44,500 daily car trips
- Added traffic equivalent to 6 TIMES the 2005 proposed Walmart
Peterkort PUD Is Unfriendly to Pedestrians and Transit Users
- Apartment development mostly north of Barnes Road
- Pedestrians will be discouraged by widened Barnes Road crossings
- Paid parking garage(s) proposed to discourage park-and-ride users
- No solution proposed for missing sidewalks under US 26
Little concerned about Peterkort PUD’s intents and actions. Particularly the item with concerns of transportation impacts in the area. I don’t think it is a great idea to have same people do analysis on transport impacts.
