' Mrs. Lawna Munholland <br />March 23, 2011 <br />' Page 6 <br />Shared Parking Ratios and Profiles <br />The hourly parking demand profiles (expressed in percent of peak demand) utilized in <br />this analysis and applied to the Metro Town Square are based on profiles developed <br />by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and published in Shared Parking, 2"d Edition. The <br />ULI publication presents hourly parking demand profiles for nine (9) general land use <br />categories: retail, fine & casual dining, family restaurant, fast-food restaurant, office, <br />' medical-dental office, bank and health club. These profiles of parking demand have <br />been used directly, by land use type, in the analysis of this site. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />Application of Shared Parking Methodology <br />Tables 4 and 5 present the weekday and weekend (typically Saturday) parking <br />demand profiles for Metro Town Square based on the shared parking methodology, <br />assuming full occupancy of the center including pending changes. Those include <br />addition of 7,206 sf to the existing Casual Male Big and Tall store, conversion of a <br />portion of its vacant site retail to medical office and restaurant use (18,125 sf and <br />2,319 sf), respectively, and re-occupancy of the existing residual vacant space (2,357 <br />sf of retail, 8,500 sf of restaurant, 3,738 sf of medical office). <br />Review of Tables 4 and 5 indicates that the future full occupancy weekday and <br />weekend peak parking demands will occur at 1:00PM and 11:00 AM with peak <br />"design level" demands of 1,227 and 1,072 spaces, respectively. Based on the <br />proposed parking supply of 1,227 spaces, the peak demand hours on a weekday will <br />exactly balance "design level" demand and supply. On a weekend day (typically <br />Saturday), the minimum surplus is projected to total 155 spaces. <br />ACTUAL FIELD STUDY COMBINED WITH SHARED PARKING <br />METHODOLOGY <br />Key Parking Demand Field Study Findings <br />The code calculations of Table 2 for existing (December 2010) tenancies at the site <br />(1,147 spaces), contrast with the peak shared parking requirement for only those <br />existing occupancies presented at the center of Tables 4 and 5 (948 spaces at 1:00 PM <br />and 5:00 PM on a weekday and 780 spaces at 11:00 AM on a weekend day), can <br />further be compared to actual field-studied existing peak demands at Metro Town <br />Square. <br />31 B-29
