Parkina Survey To quantify the existing parking demand for the 2100 South Bristol Street shopping center, a parking survey was conducted on three different days. The existing parking demand was determined by surveying the existing facility at 15-minute intervals on Saturday (January 10, 2004) from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Tuesday (January 13,2004), and Wednesday (January 14, 2004) 'from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. In addition, the shopping center parking lot was divided into four (4) parking zones as shown on Figure 3. Normally, weekend parking is higher than weekday parking at shopping centers. The existing parking surveys are shown in Tables 4 to 6. As indicated in Table 4, the maximum number of occupied parking spaces at the shopping center is 225 parked vehicles on Saturday from 1 :00 PM to 1: 15 PM. The maximum number of occupied parking spaces on a Tuesday was 190 parked vehicles from 6:30 PM to 6:45 PM (see Table 5), and 170 parked vehicles were counted on a Wednesday from 7:00 PM to 7: 15 PM (see Table 6). Anticipated Actual Maximum Parkina Demand for Future ShoppinQ Center Table 7 exhibits the existing actual parking demand, plus the Parking Code demand for the unoccupied 21,814 square feet of retail, plus the Parking Code required for the 3,000 square feet of coin laundry proposed for the shopping center. The future Parking Code calculation assumes that the shopping center is one hundred percent occupied. The maximum number of occupied parking spaces today at the shopping center is 225 parked vehicles on Saturday from 1 :00 PM to 1: 15 PM. The 21,814 square feet of retail at 1 parking space per 200 square feet of floor space requires 109 parking spaces. The 3,000 square feet of coin laundry at 1 parking space per 167 square feet of floor space requires 18 parking spaces. The weekend (Saturday) peak parking demand is expected to be a total parking demand of 352 (225+18+109) parking spaces for the entire shopping center. The total amount of parking spaces needed is 352 parking spaces. Conclusions The existing on-site parking is sufficient at 2100 South Bristol Street shopping center to accommodate future parking demand, based upon the parking survey analysis. The number of parking spaces provided is 575, and the maximum number of parking spaces expected to be occupied is 352 parking spaces. A total of 38 percent of the parking spaces are projected to be empty in the shopping center when the maximum parking occurs. 31A414
