Mr. Chase Villafana <br />September 1, 2015 <br />Page 7 <br />demand for retail uses occurs between 1:00 PM -2:00 PM on weekdays, and 2:00 <br />PM -4:00 PM on weekends. <br />The ULI Shared Parking publication includes several categories for restaurants. For <br />this analysis, the parking profile for family restaurant and fast -food restaurant were <br />utilized as each of the categories match the current restaurant tenant mix at <br />PacifiCenter. As noted earlier, the mix of restaurants at the PacifiCenter would fall <br />into the following categories: <br />❑ 6,000 SF Family Restaurant (1HOP) <br />❑ 5,226 SF of Fast -Food Restaurant with Drive - Through floor area (Jack -in -the <br />Box and El Polio Loco) <br />Like the retail profiles, the family restaurant and fast -food restaurant profiles are <br />derived exactly from the LU baseline. The restaurant - parking ratio utilized in this <br />analysis is based on the City code rate of 10 spaces per 1000 SF of floor area. <br />According to the Shared Parkhag publication, a family restaurant use peak demand <br />occurs between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM on weekdays and weekends. For fast -food <br />uses peak demand occurs between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM on weekdays and <br />weekends. <br />The health club profiles were also directly derived from ULI. For health clubs, the <br />peak demand occurs between 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM on weekdays and 5:00 PM — 6:00 <br />PM on weekends. For this study, an empirical ratio of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 SF was <br />applied to the proposed health club in order to account for the unique tripmaking and <br />parking characteristics of the health club that are not reflected in the City Code ratio. <br />Actual field studies that were previously conducted for 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, <br />and Spectrum Club have resulted in empirical parking rates that are much lower than <br />city code ratios for health clubs. <br />LLG's prior field studies 'for LA Fitness and Spectrum Club concluded that larger <br />(greater than 30,000 SF), more "amenitized" health clubs have much lower parking <br />ratios compared to typical city code ratios. A review of floor plans of a currently <br />proposed 38,000 SF 24 -Hour Fitness as well as two existing facilities with floor areas <br />of 30,020 SF and 38,990 SF indicates that the ratio of "physical activity" space to <br />"ancillary floor area / space designated for amenities" varies for each fitness/health <br />club but is very similar to that of the proposed Planet Fitness health /fitness club, as <br />approximately 60 to 68 percent of the floor area is allocated for "physical activity" <br />while the remaining 32 to 40 percent of the floor area is occupied by locker rooms, <br />retail/reception area, storage, kids roan, office., circulation, etc.). Based on review of <br />31A-26 <br />
