Mr. Gregg Berwin June 9, 2014 Page 6 Weekday vs. Weekend Parking Ratio. The shared parking model measures the parking demand on a weekday as well as on a Saturday. ULI /ICSC research has indicated that a source for variation in parking demand can be traced to the difference between weekday and weekend demand. This variation is typically seen in the parking demand rates of the model. The ULI /ICSC methodology requires that each land use select parking ratio for each land use if used independently. The base ULI /ICSC shopping center and restaurant were adjusted, which resulted in th (combined customer and employee ratio) utilized in the model: Land Use Shopping Center Restaurant Cinema Land Use Health Club Bowling Alley — Bowling Bowling Alley — Entertainment Weekday Rate 2.85 spaces /1,000 sf 12.75 spaces /1,000 sf 0.20 spaces /1 seat Weekday Rate 7.00 spaces /1,000 sf 4.0 spaces /1 lane 16.75 spaces /1,000 sf ratios, that is, the parking parking demand rates for e following parking ratios Weekend Rate 4.60 spaces /1,000 sf 20.00 spaces /1,000 sf 0.27 spaces /1 seat Weekend Rate 5.75 spaces /1,000 sf 5.02 spaces /1 lane 19.00 spaces /1,000 sf It should be noted that the Bowling Alley category is not an identified land use in the ULI /ICSC shared parking model. For the purposes of this analysis, the parking demand rates for each component of the bowling alley were developed. The bowling component is derived from another industry standard reference, Parking Generation, 4th Edition (Institute of Transportation Engineers [ITE], 2010). Similar to the ULI /ICSC data, the ITE data is based on the survey of comparable locations to develop parking demand rates of the particular land use. The parking demand rate of the ancillary entertainment component is derived from ULI /ICSC data for a nightclub use; this is conservatively assumed as a proxy for the non - bowling activities provided. Combined, this methodology provides a conservative approach to estimating the demand of the proposed bowling alley and its complementary entertainment use. Seasonal Variation. The shared parking analysis summarized in this report was based on the peak month of the year. The analysis showed that December peak conditions represent the busiest month of the year for this type of development and combination of land uses; this is primarily due to the predominant amount of retail space in the program. Mode Split. Another factor that affects the overall parking demand at a development is the number of visitors and employees that arrive by automobile (mode split). The mode split accounts for the number of visitors and employees that arrive by means other than automobile (transit, walk, and other means). MPM is located in a suburban setting, on the grounds of a regional shopping center with nearby employment and transit service. Due to these factors, the Project may experience higher volumes of public transit usage than the base model assumes (no transit usage); therefore, adjustments were made to the mode split for each land use. 6 This analysis applies the ULI /ICSC base parking demand rates for a health club use While a recently approved health club study in the City utilized a lower parking demand rate, application of the ULI /ICSC base rates provide a conservative analysis. 31 C -23
