• Although the Lodge has nearly 800 dues paying members, only 200, mostly <br />husbands and wives, are active participants in; the Lodge's many and varied <br />activities. This condition would negativity skew any'attempt to base parking <br />requirements on membership. <br />• Elk events and activities, due largely to the minimal number of active members, <br />are not well attended. <br />• Non -Elk events occurring 2 to 3 times per month with attendance normally in <br />excess of 300 are a major revenue source for the Lodge. Conflicting Elk events <br />are not scheduled during non Elk events. <br />• Parking facilities typically have a practical capacity ,of 90%. This was the <br />standard for this analysis <br />• The Elks_ have 22 employees; 17 of which are part-time. Volunteers fill in as <br />needed. There is no plan to increase staffing'levels in conjunction with the <br />Lodge -relocation. <br />Reciprocal "parking was -a condition of the site purchase and will make the Credit <br />Union's 220 parking spaces available for Elks use after' the Credit Union's <br />business hours. This is complementary to the. Elks function as their increased <br />parking demands occur in the evening hours and.weekends. <br />• As shown on Tables 1 and 2, the survey to determine the base line parking <br />demands on a weekday and weekend at the` current Elk and Credit Union <br />parking facilities, neither parking lot exceeded the 90% capacity level. <br />i As shown. on Tables 3-A and 3-B, application of the base parking demand to the <br />new Elk facilities 157 parking spaces and the Credit Union's 220.parking spaces, <br />when reciprocal parking is in, effect, indicated that neither parking lot or <br />combination thereof exceeded, the 90% capacity level. The -table 'also indicated <br />that use of the Credit Union parking by the Elks was necessary for them to <br />maintain an acceptable parking supply. <br />• Adjustment factors resultant of Credit Union employee transfer to Elk facility, <br />new Credit Union employees, and increased Elk membership .as shown on <br />Tables 4-A and 4-13 did not reduce the parking supply below the 90% threshold. <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />Based on the characteristics of the Elk and Credit Union organizations, the survey data <br />and analysis and the .study findings it is HCI's opinion that the 157 parking spaces <br />proposed for the new Elk Lodge and office facility when used in conjunction with the 220 <br />parking spaces provided by Orange County's Credit Union through the reciprocal <br />32A-37 <br />
