Land Use: 310
Hotel
A hotel is a place of lodging that provides sleeping accommodations and supporting facilities
such as restaurants, cocktail lounges, meeting and banquet rooms or convention facilities, limited
recreational facilities (pool, fitness room}, and/or other retail and service shops. All suites hotel (Land
Use 311), business hotel (Land Use 312), motel (Land Use 320), and resort hotel (Land Use 330)
are related uses.
Additional Data
Studies of hotel employment density indicate that, on the average, a hotel will employ 0.9 employees
per room.1
Twenty-five studies provided information on occupancy rates at the time the studies were conducted.
The average occupancy rate for these studies was approximately 82 percent.
Some properties contained in this land use provide guest transportation services such as airport
shuttles, limousine service, or golf course shuttle service, which may have an impact on the overall
trip generation rates.
Time-of-day distribution data for this land use are presented in Appendix A For the one center city
core site with data, the overall highest vehicle volumes during the AM and PM on a weekday were
counted between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. and 3:15 and 4:15 p.m., respectively. On Saturday and Sunday,
the peak hours were between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. and 10:15 and 11:15 a.m., respectively.
The sites were surveyed in the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, and the 2010s in California, District
of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas,
Vermont, Virginia, and VVashington.
For all lodging uses, It Is important to collect data on occupied rooms as well as total rooms
in order to accurately predict trip generation characteristics for the site.
Trip generation at a hotel may be related to the presence of supporting facilities such as convention facilities, restaurants, meeting/banquet space, and retail facilities. Future data submissions should specify the presence of these amenities. Reporting the level of activity
at the supporting facilities such as full, empty, partially active, number of people attending a
meeting/banquet during observation may also be useful in further analysis of this land use.

The existing hotel includes 311 rooms for a calculated 190 PM
peak hour trips. The project will add 12 new rooms to result in 7
additional PM peak hour trips. This is a 3.6% increase which
will not adversely impact the traffic at the signalized intersection
with Williston Road.
