During weekday mornings and afternoons, there would be a total of 183 spaces available, which would include the surface parking (133 spaces) and additional weekday parking located in the adjacent parking structure (50 spaces), yielding a peak occupancy of 99.5%. Figure 2 illustrates the parking demand for the busiest hour of the weekday daytime hours for each month of the year. During the evening on a weekday, the demand would be 189 spaces, and the weekend peak parking demand would be 177 spaces during the daytime and 197 spaces during the evening. It is during these time periods that not only the surface parking lot would be available, but also the entire adjacent parking structure, for a total supply of 633 parking spaces. Figure 3 illustrates the parking demand for the busiest hour during the weekday evening in comparison to the parking supply available during that specific time of the day. Figure 4 provides the parking demand for the busiest hour for the weekend for each month of the year. It should be emphasized that the busiest hour of the day for the time periods shown in Figures 2 through 4 generally represent only one or two hours of the day. The remaining hours experience less than the peak demand, oftentimes by a substantial margin. Figure 5 shows the hourly parking demand .across the entire day for both weekend and weekday conditions. The typical weekday parking demand (during the busiest month of the year) falls between 140 and 150 spaces even though the absolute peak weekday daytime parking demand occurs at 8:00 AM with a parking demand of 182 spaces. The .hotel parking demand decreases after guests leave their rooms between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. Table 3 summarizes the shared parking demand for the Cinema Block with the proposed Marriott Hotel during the peak month of June. Adequate parking is available to serve the parking demand of the hotel during both the weekday and weekend peak periods, even during the busiest month of the year.
