Parking Generation RatesLand Use

Peak Hour Rate (1PM)

Comparable ULI Rate

Bank 2.64 2.64

City Park 1.17 1.66

General Retail 1.18 2.9

Industrial Retail 0.59 0.61

Office 1.33 3.15

Restaurant 9.41 16.20

Townhouse 0.63 1.23

• Peak hour rates are taken from similar Park+ modeling efforts, for areas with similar mixture of uses and geography.

• Industrial retail land use represents less intense commercial uses whose businesses are based in specialty products and services with a lessened parking demand. The use was compared to the warehouse ULI rate, which best represents arrival and demand patterns.

Evaluated Scenarios

• Existing Conditions• Today’s Conditions

• Planned Development• Hotel, transit, and mixed uses in southeast area

• Conceptual Build-Out • Redevelopment of the remainder of the study

area into a walkable, mixed-use district

• Surrounding Development• Development just south and southwest of the

study area

Existing Land Uses:• Bank – 2,711 sq. ft.• City Park – 1 acre• General Retail – 35,452 sq. ft.• Industrial Retail – 216,179 sq. ft.• Office – 31,515 sq. ft.• Restaurant – 1,534 sq. ft.• Townhouse – 72 units

Existing Conditions

Park+ Results:• Demand: 280 spaces• Supply: 741 spaces• Surplus/Deficit: +461 spaces

Observations:• Existing land use configurations

do not strain associated parking supply

• Steelyard development experiences higher parking demand

Planned DevelopmentObservations:• The residential permit removes

overflow spaces on-street provided to the general retail

• The new parking garage is well utilized overall, with user fluctuations throughout the day

• The proposed S’Park development has some demand issues based on reserve spaces

Planned Development

The planned parking garage in the southeast corner of study area has the ability to support the planned development demand as well as future demand because of the shared parking opportunity, as outlined below.

Observations:• The development along Pearl

Parkway, just south of the study area, are able to provide on-site parking for the users during the day, but at night the Solana apartments are unable to meet the demand of residents.

• The new garage public in the southeast corner is able to accommodate the unmet residential demand during the evening hours.

Surrounding Development

Results

• Existing conditions show the parking system being underutilized

• Residential permits in the Steel Yard create a slight parking deficit, that will need to be accommodated by some public parking

• The new parking garage is able to fully accommodate the planned development within the southeast corner of the study area, considering shared parking configuration

• The new garage is able to accommodate the unmet demand of approximately 70 spaces from surrounding development as well as future development

• The redevelopment of the Auto Dealership provides the opportunity to provide general retail, office, and condos as well as on-site public parking
