CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
A "Shared Parking Policy" was adopted at the Council
meeting of 5-20-96, after review by the Central City Parking
Place Commission. This policy was adopted to take better ad-
vantage of the existing parking spaces within the Downtown
Business District, by allowing adjustments in the parking
requirements due to different peak demands for the various land
uses.
The Consulting Traffic Engineer for the Downtown Theater
Complex, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, prepared a "Shared Parking
Analysis" for this development.
This analysis found, in general, that "a sufficient
amount of public parking is provided in the Central Business
District to support the combined parking demand of the proposed
San Bernardino Entertainment Center, and the existing/proposed
office uses and retail/commercial developments included in our
study."
In making this finding, the Consultant relied heavily on
the use of the Caltrans parking structure and the Civic Center
Parking structure (5-level) to support the projected weekday
evenings and weekend parking needs. The analysis is based upon
about 800 parking spaces being available after 6:00 p.m. in the
Caltrans parking structure.
The combined weekday peak parking demand for the CBD
study area uses is projected at 3,022 spaces, and 2,325 spaces
for the combined weekend peak demand. These denands can be
satisfied by the shared parking supply of 3,108 spaces identified
in the Shared Parking Analysis.
The "Shared Parking Policy" states that an analysis must
be prepared for any proposed use of shared parking. This
analysis must be reviewed and approved by the Central City
Parking Place Commission, and confirmed by the Mayor and Council.
At their meeting of 3-06-97,
Place Commission approved the "Shared
development. A copy is available for
office.
the Central City Parking
Parking Analysis" for this
review in the City Clerk's
We recommend that the approval by the Parking Place Com-
mission be confirmed.

SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
SAN BERNARDINO ENTERTAINMENT CENTER
Downtown San Bernardino, CA
Dear Mr. Kamm:
Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) is pleased to submit this Shared Parking Analysis
Report for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center, a planned retail/commercial center, located in
downtown San Bernardino, California. The proposed project consists of an 80,000 SF, 20-screen
multiplex theatre with 4,600 seats, and 20,000 SF of retail/commercial floor area. The parlcing
evaluation is based on the criteria and guidelines outlined in the City of San Bernardino Department of
Public Works Shared Parking Policy.
Our study investigates the potential parking impacts and requirements associated with the development
of the proposed entertainment center. Parking for the entertainment center will be provided at the
proposed Ca1trans Parking Structure, as well as the City District Parking Lots and Parking Structure.
Executive Summary
Briefly, based on the results of our shared parking analysis, a sufficient amount of public parking is
provided in the Central Bnsiness District to support the combined parlcing demand of the proposed San
Bernardino Entertainment Center, and the existing/proposed office uses and retail/commercial
developments included in our study. The proposed project is expected to rely heavily on the use of the
Ca1trans parking structure and the Civic Center Parking structure to support its projected weekday
evening and weekend parking needs.
In all, approximately 3,108 off-street parlcing spaces, within a 1,600 foot radius of the project site, have
been included in our analysis. To remain conservative, and to present a "worst case" scenario, all on-
street public parking spaces, which total approximately 300 spaces, have been excluded from our
analysis.

The combined weekday peak parking demand for the CBD study area uses, including the project, is
expected to occur during the day and totals 3,022 spaces. Given the majority of the uses included in the
shared parking study area are office/commercial businesses, this peak demand can be expected. The
combined weekend peak parking demand, which is forecast to occur during the evening, totals 2,325
spaces.
With a shared parking supply of 3, I 08 spaces, a surplus of 86 spaces and 783 spaces will exist during the
weekday and weekend peak parking demand periods, respectively.

SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
SAN BERNARDINO ENTERTAINMENT CENTER
San Bernardino, California
INTRODUCTION
This Shared Parking Analysis addresses the potential parking impacts and requirements associated with the
development of a retaiVcommercial and entertainment center known as the San Bernardino Entertainment
Center. The project site lies generally in the northwest quadrant of the E Street/4th Street intersection in
the Central Business District (CBD) of the City of San Bernardino.
The Scope of Work for this project has been developed based on discussions with Mr. Anwar Wagdy, City
Traffic Engineer, as well as application of the City of San Bernardino Department of Public Works Shared
Parking Policy guidelines, dated April 17, 1996.
This parking report documents daytime, evening, and nighttime parking demand for the land use
components that are proposed as part of the San Bernardino Entertainment Center. The components that
are analyzed as part of this study include cinema, restaurants, as well as office uses and retaiVcommercial
businesses in close proximity to the entertainment center. Existing land use information and development
totals for the existing CBD retaiVcommercial and office uses within the shared parking study area have
been obtained from the City of San Bernardino and through research by LLG staff. Estimates were made
to identifY the interaction or synergy between the various uses.
The project site and shared parking study area have been visited. An inventory of all existing City District
public parking facilities was provided by City staff and field verified by LLG in January, 1997.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The project site for the San Bernardino EntertaintnP.nt Center (SBEC) is located north of 4th Street and
west of E Street in downtown San Bernardino. F Street borders the project site on the west, with 5th
Street to the north. Exhibit 1 presents a Vicinity Map, which illustrates the general location of the project
and depicts the surrounding street system. The project site currently contains the United States Social
Security Administration offices, the Lier Music Company, and a Bible Supply Store; all of which will either
be demolished and/or relocated.

Exhibit 2 illustrates the proposed conceptual site plan for the theatre project prepared by Stoutenborough,
Inc. Review of the current development program indicates that the proposed Multiplex Theatre project
consists of an 80,000 square-foot (SF), 20-screen theatre with 4,600 seats, and 20,000 SF of
retaiVcornmercial floor area. It is expected that the retail space will be occupied by a combination of
specialty retail shops and/or restaurant uses (quality and/or in-line food court uses). In addition,
approximately 5,000 SF of outdoor seating area will be provided in the outdoor plaza.
For analysis purposes (and to remain conservative), we have assumed all 20,000 SF ofretaiVcommercial
space will be occupied by sit-down restaurant/in-line food court uses. The proposed project is expected to
be completed by the middle of 1998.
Parking for the entertainment center is expected to be provided at the proposed 925 space Caltrans parking
structure. This facility, located directly east of the site, will primarily be used by Caltrans during the day, but
will support the planned 4,600 seat Cinema during late weekday afternoons, early evenings, and weekends.
The five (5) City District Parking lots, as well as the City Parking Structure located just south of City Hall,
adjacent to Radisson Hote~ are also expected to be utilized by patrons of the SBEC project.
It is also possible that the proposed theatre project will have access to the Carousel Mall parking structure
to the south. However, at this time, a reciprocal parking agreement between mall owners and the project
applicant has not been formali7.oo. Hence, for this report, we have not included the malVmall structure in
our shared parking analysis.
SHARED PARKING STIJDY AREA
Central Business District (CBD) Land Uses
Existing development in the vicinity of San Bernardino Entertainment Center consists of a mixture of uses,
including office buildings, retail and commercial businesses. Existing office/commercial uses located within
the same block of the project includes the Concorde Career Center/Southern California Gas Building,
California Theatre of Performing Arts, and the San Bernardino County Department of Social Services.
Directly to the south is the Carousel Mall regional shopping center. East of E Street is the future home of
the Caltrans District 8 Headquarters and the State Agencies Consolidated Office Building (Superblock
project). For this study, only the Caltrans office building, which is currently under construction, has been
included in our analysis. North and west of the project site is St. Bernardine's Church and Plaza, and the
Stater Brothers Shopping Center, respectively.
Southeast of the site is the Civic Center, which contains City Hall, the City's Economic Development
Agency, the San Bernardino Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Radisson Hote~ as well as a mixture of
office and retail uses. Exhibit 3 presents a conceptual plan for downtown San Bernardino and shows the
location of the proposed SBEC (Multiplex Theatre) project.

Table 1 presents a summary of the existing/proposed businesses in the CBO of San Bernardino included in
our analysis. Also shown is the parking zone in which they are located. The San Bernardino Entertainment
Center is expected to share parking with these uses.
Shared Parking Supply
Table 2 summarizes the anticipated parking supply that the San Bernardino Entertaimnent Center and the
CBO study land uses (included in this shared parking analysis) are expected to utilize. As shown, the
downtown parking supply consists of nine parking fields (in four Parking Zones) totaling 3,244 spaces, of
which 78 spaces are designated for handicapped parking only.
Parking Zone I consists of 337 existing and proposed parking spaces located at the City District Parking
Lot #1 and the temporary City parking lot at the northwest corner of E Street and 5th Street. Zone II
includes parking spaces in the proposed Caltrans parking structure (925 spaces), existing City District
Parking Lots #2!2A (90 spaces), and the County Law Library lot (39 spaces). Zone III consists of 166
parking spaces in City District Lot #3. City District Lot #4 (96 spaces) and City Parking Structure-Lot #5
(1581 spaces) make up Zone IV.
However, since 78 spaces are designated for handicapped use only and 58 spaces are reseIVed/leased by
individuals and/or existing land uses not included in our analysis, the shared parking supply in our
evaluation is limited to 3,108 spaces. Exhibit 4 presents the parking inventory showing the location and
total number of available shared parking spaces per zone.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Analyzing the parking supply-demand relationships for the CBD study land uses in downtown San
Bernardino (within our shared parking study area) as well as the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment
Center involves determining the parking needs in relationship to the existing and/or future parking supply.
In general, there are two methods which can be used to determine the parking demand. They are: I)
application of City parking code requirements (which typically treats each use as a "stand alone" use at
maximum demand); and 2) analysis of shared parking usage patterns over time (which recognizes that
parking demand for each use varies by time of day and/or day of week).
The criteria and methodology outlined in the City of San Bernardino Department of Public Works Shared
Parking Policy is utilized to forecast the "shared" parking requirements of the proposed entertainment
center and adjacent existing land uses competing for use of off-street public parking spaces. The
methodology outlined in the Shared Parking publication prepared by the Urban Land Institnte (ULI) is also
used for comparison purposes.
Code Parking Analysis
To determine the number of parking spaces required by "code" to support the San Bernardino
Entertainment Center and adjacent competing retail/commercia1 and office uses, parking demand was first
calculated using the City of San Bernardino Parking Code. The City of San Bernardino specifies the
following off-street parking standards: I space/4 seats for theatres, I space/35 SF of public seating area,
plus I space/200 SF of all other gross floor area (GFA) for restaurants, I space/350 SF of office space
greater than 40,000 SF, I space/300 SF of GF A for hbraries, 1.1 space per hotel room, plus I space/50 SF
ofGFA of main assembly space, 10 spaces for first 2000 SF, plus I space/175 SF over 2000 SF for

of the City's Off-Street Parking Standards.
Table 3 presents a summary of the parking requirements of the proposed project and downtown CBD
study businesses using the above parking code ratios. As shown in Table 3, direct application of City code
indicates that a total of 4,393 spaces is required to support existing retail and office uses in the downtown
shared parking study area and the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment Center. Based on this code
calculation and a shared parking supply of3, 108 spaces, the study area is deficient by 1,285 spaces.
The San Bernardino Entertainment Center, alone, requires 1,629 parking spaces based on direct application
of City off-street parking code requirements.

However, given the local area joint use parking patterns together with the specifics of this site, there is an
opportunity for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center project to share spaces with the proposed
Caltrans District 8 Headquarters as well as the Civic Center uses. This is especially true since the majority
of the parking spaces required for the Entertainment Center is for the proposed 20 screen, 4,600 seat
theatre. This shared parking is a specific component of the project's design.
As indicated in the City's Shared Parking Policy guidelines, "It is well understood and acknowledged, that
within the Downtown District, parkers may make many trips for various reasons without moving their
vehicles. Shopping, business, government centers, entertainment and public facilities are all located in close
proximity in this area." Since the majority of the uses in the shared parking study area are complementary
to the entertainment center (office parking peaks during the weekday, while theatre parking peaks on
weekends), the opportunity to share parking is reasonable and realistic.
The following section calculates the parking requirements for the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment
Center based on application of the City's Shared Parking Policy guidelines.
Shared Parking Analysis (City Po6cy/Criteria)
The shared parking analysis for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center is specifically focused on the
combined demand patterns of the proposed theatre/restaurant uses and existing retaiVcommercial office
uses in downtown San Bernardino, as well as parking supply allocation. Experience indicates that
combining different land uses whose parking demands peak at different times generally results in a parking
. demand that is significantly lower than the summation of individual peak demand factors or City parking
code requirements for each use.
The shared parking analysis for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center project takes into consideration
that the parking demand characteristics for office uses, retaiVcommercial uses, restaurant uses, and the
theatres are different. The parking evaluation is based on the joint-use parking characteristics of existing
office and retail/commercial uses in the Downtown Central Business District and the proposed theatre
project. The analysis follows the methodology outlined in the City's Shared Parking Policy. Appendix B
contains the Shared Parking Policy of the City of San Bernardino and provides a detailed explanation of
the shared parking methodology and approach.
Shared Parking Demand Analvsis
Table 4 presents the Area Composite Demand Worksheet recommended for use in the City's Shared
Parking Policy. The top portion of Table 4 identifies the size of the shared parking study area (1600-foot
radius from site), the total available shared parking spaces, and the number of on-street spaces in our study
area. For this analysis, only the total number of off-street parking spaces available for shared parking use
was considered. On-street parking spaces was not included in our evaluation to remain conservative.
Hence, our shared parking analysis can be considered "worst case".

In the middle of Table 4, a summary of the land uses included in our shared parking analysis, and their
associated parking needs/requirements (as presented previously in Table 3) is shown.
Also included, at the bottom ofTable 4, are the percentages of required parking by usage, time of day and
day of week. All percentages utilized were recommended for use in the City's Shared Parking Policy, with
the exception of the percentages for the theatre, Concorde Career Center, CaItrans, hbrary and hotel
conference uses.
The percentages of peak demand used for Theatre and Library are based on LLG studies, while the hotel
conference is based on ULI studies. Given the Concorde Career Center is open until 9:00 PM, Monday
through Friday, the percentage peak demand for commercial uses were adjusted accordingly. The
percentages of peak demand for the CaItrans District 8 Headquarters were adjusted to reflect their specific
parking needs during the weekday and weekend.
Definitions of weekday, day, evening, and night, as well as weekend are as follow:
Weekdav lMon-Fri)
Weekend (Sat-Sun)
. Day
. Evening
. Night
7:00 AM - 5:30 PM
6:00 PM - Midnight
Midnight - 6:00 AM
8:30 AM - 6:00 PM
6:00 PM - I :00 AM
I :00 AM - 8:30 AM
Per City criteria, no further reductions to the percentages of required parking have been utilized in this
analysis. Although, one can argue that to provide an accurate shared parking assessment, it is necessary to
account for the interactions (synergy) that can be expected to occur between each use in the CBD of San
Bernardino.
Due to the high concentration and close proximity of the office employees to the restaurants and retail use,
a synergy factor can be used. This adjustment is recommended within the ULI Shared Parking
methodology (adjustment for Captive Market) and is comparable to the Standard (WeekdaylDay)
Reductions recommended in the City's Shared Parking Policy.
Further, this phenomena is known to occur when a cinema is located inside or (in this case) within walking
distance of a shopping center (Carousel Mall). A survey conducted by GorovelSlade Associates in June
1989 of cinema patrons revealed that 20"10 also patronize the shopping center during the midday hours
(12:00 Noon - 3:00 PM), with about 12%-13% frequenting the mall during the evening hours.
As indicated in the City's guidelines, "(Synergy) Reductions for weekday/day demand may not be used in
addition to the" shared parking demand approach.
Hence, the results of this shared parking analysis, again, can be considered "worst case" and conservative.

Tables 5 through 8 present our forecast of a weekday and weekend parking demand based on the City's
Shared Parking Policy.
Table 5 present the parking accumulation characteristics and parking demand of the San Bernardino
Entertainment Center and adjacent competing office/commercial uses (Department of Social Services and
Concorde Career Center) in Parking Zone I. Table 6 presents that expected parking demand for the
Caltrans District 8 Headquarters, County Law Library and the County Department of Ageing and Adult
Services located in Parking Zone II.
Table 7 presents the parking characteristics of existing uses in the Civic Center, Parking Zone IV, while
Table 8 presents the expected shared parking demand forecast for all the downtown area uses included in
our Shared Parking Analysis, during a weekday and weekend day.
Zonal Parking Evaluation
As shown in Table 5, the peak day, evening, and night parking demands for the proposed project and the
existing office/commercial uses in Zone I during a "typical" weekday and weekend significantly exceeds the
shared parking supply of299 spaces. This zone, when evaluated alone, will be extremely underparked.
Table 6 indicates that the shared parking supply of 1,167 spaces in Zones II & III is sufficient enough to
meet the parking demands of the Caltrans District 8 Headquarters, the County Law Library, and the
County Department of Ageing and Adult Services. It is important to note that these two zones are forecast
to have a 1,000:t space parking surplus during a "typical" weekday evening, and night, and weekend day,
evening, and night.
Similar results can be expected in Zone IV. Review of Table 7 indicates that the weekday and weekend
day, peak day, evening, and night parking demands for the existing uses in the Civic Center can easily be
accommodated by the existing parking supply of 1,642 spaces in City District Lot #4 and the City Parking
Structure.
Area ComDosite Demand Evaluation
Table 8 presents the shared parking results of an Area Composite Demand analysis. Review of Table 8
indicates that when Zones I, II, III and IV of downtown San Bernardino are evaluated as one shared
parking zone, the peak parking demands of CBD study area can be accommodated by available shared
parking supply. This supply, which is provided in the City's District Parking Lots, City Parking Structure,
and the proposed Caltrans Structure, total 3,108 spaces.
The combined weekday peak use parking demand for the CBD study area uses is expected to occur during
the day and totals 3,022 spaces. The combined weekend peak use parking demand, which is forecast to
occur in the evening, totals 2,325 spaces.

Based on the results of the shared parking analysis, and with the weekday, day time conditions (7:00 AM _
5:30 PM) being the worst case, it can be concluded that a 86 space swplus will exist to support the joint
use parking demands of San Bernardino Entertainment Center. During the weekend, a swplus of 783
parking spaces will exist during the peak evening time period (6:00 PM - 1 :00 AM).
Shared Parking (ULI Methodology)
The following section calculates the parking requirements for the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment
Center based on methodology outlined in the Shared Parking publication prepared by the Urban Land
Institute (ULI). This analysis is provided for comparison and informational purposes only. Appendix C
contains an excerpt from the Shared Parking publication that provides a detailed explanation of the shared
parking methodology and approach.
Tables 9 and 10 apply the ULI methodology directly to the City's code, and forecast the weekday and
weekend shared parking requirements for the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment Center project, as
well as the portion of CBD evaluated in our report. Colmnns (1) through (4), (6), (7), (9), and (11)
through (13) present the accumulation characteristics and parking demand for the proposed project and
existing/future development in the CBD for the hours of 6:00 AM to midnight. Colmnns (5), (8), (10) and
(14) present the expected hourly shared parking demand for each zone combination, and the area
composite demand, respectively.
As shown in Tables 9 and 10, column (14), the shared parking supply provided in the City's public parking
facilities can accommodate the projected peak day and evening parking requirements for the San
Bernardino Entertainment Center and the adjacent retaiVcommercial and office study land uses. A surplus
of 193 spaces can be expected during the peak weekday day time period, while a swplus of 888 spaces is
projected during peak weekend evening activities.
This alternative ULI analysis validates the results of the parking evaluation based on the City's Shared
Parking Policy guidelines.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
· Direct application of the City of San Bernardino Off-Street Parking Standards to the Central Business
District (CBD) study area indicates that 4,393 spaces will be required to support the existing/proposed
office uses and retail/commercial businesses, and the proposed San Bernardino Entertainment Center.
Based on this code calculation and a projected shared parking supply of 3, I 08 spaces, the CBD study
area will be deficient by 1,285 spaces.
· Based on City parking code requirements, the San Bernardino Entertainment Center, alone, would
require a 1,629 space parking structure to support its 20-Screen, 4,600 seat Theatre and 20,000 SF of
retaiVrestaurant uses.
· Given the joint use parking patterns of the existing uses in the CBO study area, there is an opportunity
for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center project to share spaces with the proposed Caltrans
District 8 Headquarters as well as the Civic Center uses, especially since the majority of the parking
spaces required for the Entertainment Center is for the proposed 20 screen, 4,600 seat theatre. This
shared parking is a specific component of the project's design.
· The shared parking analysis for the San Bernardino Entertainment Center is based on combined
demand patterns of the two proposed uses (theatre and restaurant) and the existing/proposed offices
uses in downtown San Bernardino. The parking analysis follows the methodology outlined in the City
of San Bernardino Department of Public Works Shared Parking Policy.
· The San Bernardino Entertainment Center is expected to rely heavily on the use of the Caltrans Parking
Structure and the Civic Center parking structure to support its weekday evening and weekend parking
demands.
· The downtown shared parking supply consists of nine parking fields (in four Parking Zones) totaling
3,244 spaces, of which 78 spaces are designated for handicapped parking only. However, since 78
spaces are designated for handicapped use only and 58 City District parking spaces are reservedJIeased
by individuals and/or existing land uses not included in our analysis, the shared parking supply in our
evaluation is limited to 3, I 08 spaces.
· The combined weekday peak parking demand for the CBO study area uses is expected to occur during
the day and totals 3,022 spaces. The combined weekend peak use parking demand, which is forecast
to occur in the evening, totals 2,325 spaces. With a shared parking supply on, I 08 spaces, a surplus of
86 spaces and 783 spaces will exist during the weekday peak day time period (7:00 AM to 5:30 PM)
and the weekend peak evening time period (6:00 PM - 1:00 AM), respectively. Note, the 300:1: on-
street parking spaces that exists within the CBO study area have not been included in our evaluation.
Hence, our shared parking analysis can be considered conservative and "worst case".

DIVISION I.
AUTHORITY
Contained in Chapter 19 of the city of San Bernardino Development
Code in subsection 19.24.030 "General Regulations" paragraph 3
exceptions are provided "for structures and uses located in the CR-
2 (Downtown) land use district. A parking study may be prepared
examining the proposed use in light of available public off-street
parking facilities which may result in a City approved parking
reduction program". Additionally, General Plan Policy 6.8.6 and
Implementation Measure 16.26 provides for shared parking to
maximize the use of existing and proposed parking in the Central
Business District.
DIVISION II.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the shared parking policy is to conform with Chapter
19.24.030, Policy 6.8.6 and Implementation Measure 16.26 and
provide for maximum use in the CR-2 land use designation (Downtown)
by r6cognizing shared parking. It is well understood and
acknowledged that within the Downtown District, parkers may make
many trips for various reasons without ever moving their vehicles.
Shopping, business, government centers, entertainment and public
facilities are all located in close proximity in this area.
Parking facilities in the form of assessment district lots are
available for public parking needs. Additionally, many downtown
workers combine shopping, business transactions and eating during
normal work days. Again, this multi-destination approach needs to
be recognized and parking requirements reduced to reflect such
mUlti-destination uses. Further, after normal work hours, many of
the parking spaces used by the work force are available and unused,
but are not presently counted in meeting the parking requirements
of after hours users (entertainment, evening meals, shopping or
late night activities). Peak demand is weekday/daytime use, yet
many off-hours businesses are prevented from using the Downtown
District due to lack of available parking.
This document sets forth the policy to be used that attempts to
provide relief from the "normal" parking requirements in
recognition of the unique features of a downtown area. It also
accounts for the Downtown parking district and the district lots
that downtown property owners have paid to develop and maintain.
DIVISION III CRITERIA
A. General
1. The shared parking concept will apply only to the
Downtown District as defined in the Municipal Code and
General Plan unless other areas are specifically approved
by the Mayor and Common Council.
B 5
I
I
II
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
~I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
2. All shared parking requests and calculations must be
reviewed and approved by the Parking Place Commission
with recommendations to the Mayor and Common Council
prior to approval of shared parking projects.
3. Specific reductions in parking requirements for
weekday/day use only, require no specific action and may
be applied to the downtown district upon submittal of
plans. This reduction is for on-site parking only and
site only composite calculations may be required.
4. Shared parking proposals must be submitted with the
appropriate calculation sheets to Public Works staff for
review and transmittal to the Parking Place Commission
for action. Questions on interpretation of the policy or
its application should also be directed to the Public
Works Department.
5. The standard study area will be 1,320 feet from the
corners of the property being developed or proposed
project property. Larger or mUlti-storied projects
exceeding 50,000 square feet may have larger study areas
but this shall be determined at the time of project
submittal and prior to shared parking calculations.
Increases in study area shall be at the sole discretion
of the city and shall consider the type, purpose and
overall affect of the proposed project.
DIVISION IV. STANDARD REDUCTIONS
A. WEEKDAY/DAY PARKING REDUCTIONS (DOWNTOWN)
1. Parking requirements in the Downtown area are
reduced from those contained in the
Development ~ode by the following percentage
for weekday/day time requirements for required
on-site parking:
Commercial 10%
Retail 30%
Food 40%
Office 0%
Hotel 0%
Residential 0%
The above usages are general usages contained
within the Development Code. The City will
determine which category a proposed
development falls in and apply the percentage.
Specialized usages may require additional
study to determine what, if any, reduction
might be allowed. Refer to Development Code
Section 19.24.040 for specific types of uscge. 6

DIVISION V. COMPOSITE REDUCTIONS
Composite demand shall apply to a single development that proposes
multiple usages within the same building. Composite demand may be
calculated for on-site parking provided the parking areas are open,
posted and available to the public at large after 6:00 pm every day
of the week. Further, composite demand may be used to establish
peak parking demand for the area composite demand, again provided
the parking area is made available to the general public after 6:00
pm each day.
1. Definitions of weekday, day, evening and night as well as
weekend are as follows:
WEEKDAY (MON - FRI)
WEEKEND (SAT - SUN)
Day
7:00 am - 5:30 pm
6:00 pm - Midnight
Midnight - 6:00 am

2 . SHARED PARKING PEAK DEMAND.
The following are the percentages of required parking by
usage, time of day and day of week and may be used in
computing shared parking demand as a part of the work
sheets. No additional or modified percentages may be
used. Reductions used for weekday/day demand may not be
used in addition to the following. Either method may be
used but only one may be applied.

4. Existing land uses in the study area must be determined
and approved by the City prior to final acceptance of the
parking demand study. This data must be presented to the
Parking Place Commission prior to final action by the
Mayor and Common Council on acceptance of the peak demand
study.
5. All computations must be submitted on standard work
sheets (see attached).
DIVISION VI
RESTRICTIONS
Within the parking district, there exists both leased spaces
(leased from the parking district lots) and private parking lots
under private ownership. The following shall determine if shared
parking may be applied to leased spaces or privately controlled
spaces.
A. Leased District Spaces
1. If lessee allows unrestricted use for
evening/night and enters into a written
agreement to such use and also provides
adequate signing indicating public usage and
availability of such spaces, then the lessee
may use shared parking. calculation sheets.
However, if no such agreement is provided,
they may not use shared parking calculations.
2. If lessee does not allow unrestricted public
evening/night usage, they may use weekday
reductions only on their parking requirements.
Lessee must meet all other parking
requirements.
3. Unrestricted use by the public must be
designated by signs and be prominently
displayed. Restrictions on parking must end
by the beginning of the evening time frame to
qualify.
B. Private Lots/Spaces
1. Private lots wishing to use composite parking
may do so for their private lot only unless
the lot is made available to for general
public usage beginning at the start of the
evening time frame. No area composite area
parking may be used unless the entire lot is
made available for unrestricted public usage
beginning with the evening time frame.

2. Private lots made available to the general
public for use must be marked as such, open
and unrestricted during evening and night
hours.
3. Notice must be given to the general public on
the liability of using private lots during
evening and night hours.
4. Private lots made available will allow the
building owner to participate in shared
parking calculations for their own lot and in
shared composite demand within the specified
distance of the project.
Time Limited Parking Restriction
1. All on-street and district lots with time
limited parking shall be revised to eliminate
time limits during evening and night time
hours.
2. Citation time limits will be set for a 30
minute grace time beyond the designated time.
Vehicles parked and marked by control officers
during time limit parking hours. will be cited
unless moved or re-parked after the limits are
removed. This insures that all parkers have
access to the spaces and that those parking in
later afternoon will still be subject to
parking restrictions and may not overlap into
unrestricted parking.
3. On-street and district lots will not have time
limits during weekends.
4.
Private
spaces

t,
The survey results demonstrated that a reduction
in the number of parked vehicles Occurs as a
result of shared parking. The data were suffi.
ciently consistent to indicate that a quantitative
basis for estimating the demand for shared parking
does exist. Based upon the findings of the survey, a
methodology was developed to detennine parking de-
mand for the conditions typica1ly found in a mixed.use
development. This methodology is universal in its ap-
plication and flexible enough to incorporate adjust-
ment factors as necessary to suit specific policies,
programs, and market conditions.

THE METHDDOLDIIY
The methodology involves four basic steps that may
be applied, with appropriate background infonnation,
to an existing or proposed project. Exhibit 25 illus-
trates the organization and flow of work. The basic
flow of work begins with a review of the development
plan and proceeds through the four steps (and sub.
tasks] to an estimate of demand for shared peak park-
ing. In support of these activities, input from other
analyses may be added. They could include an addi-
tional data base to refine or modify unit parking fac-
tors or other characteristics and market analyses.
The methodology is designed to be sequential, but it
can be used in an iterative fashion to test the impact of
alternative development plans, assumptions, or
policies.
STEP I: INlnAl 'ROJECT REI
An analysis of shared parking deals with more de-
tailed issues and relationships than traditional analy-
ses of parking demand. KnOWledge of the site and
intended land use therefore becomes more important.

of land use, it is necessary to descnlle both the physi.
cal and anticipated functional relationships between
the land uses. While the physical relationships con.
cern the basic physical layout and organization of
facilities-for example, vertical or horizontal projects,
distances between land uses, surrounding uses, prox.
imity to transportation and other parking facilities-
functional relationships concern the intended charac.
ter and type of land uses and how the project will work.
For example, in a project that includes retail, hotel,
and office space, retail facilities may be clearly ori.
ented to hotel guests, office workers, or other "captive
persons: or to external shoppers. Early in the plan.
ning process for a development, the infonnation de-
scribing relationships between land uses may not be
available. If not, a set of assumptions and/or alterna.
tive development scenarios should be identified for the
c
44
analysis. A checklist of questions dealing with these
assumptions is as follows:
· What is the square footage by use (or number Qf
hotel rooms and theater seats)?
· If a hotel is included, will banquet rooms and con.
vention facilities be available?
· If meeting rooms and convention facilities are pro.
vided, what are the intended concept for programs
and the intended audience?
· What is the assumed market support for any retail
or entertainment space?
· If a cinema is included, how many theaters will it
have? What type of programs will be scheduled?
What are the assumptions regarding show times?
· If residential space is included, will any parking
constraints be observed (reserved parking, for
example)?

STEP 2: ADJUSTMENT FIR PEAl PUIlIIG FACT"
This step produces an appropriate set of peak park.
ing demand factors. They represent the number of
parking spaces needed per unit of land use or other
parameter. 1b determine the factors, the following
subtasks are necessary.
Verification of Land Use and Selection of PIlrking
PIlrameters. The land uses descnbed for the project
in step 1 define the specific set of peak parking factors
needed for the analysis of parking demand. The pa.
rameter for each factor should be verified. Generally,
square feet of floor space or rooms or dwelling units
would be used; however, other variables might be more
appropriate for certain unique activities.
Specifically, the following information must be
verified:
· Verify that occupied GLA is to be used, including or
excluding common areas.
· Convert convention facilities to equivalent square
feet if capacity per person is used in the building
program (15 square feet per person may be used if
another density factor is not available).
Selection of PIlrking Factors. A preliminary value
should be selected or determined for the set of peak
parking factors. Information could be drawn from
three sources: (1) parking factors suggested by the
study (see ex!jibit 26), (2) validated experience of the
developer or other local authorities, or (3) new park.
ing field SUlVeyS. It is essential to know what season
or time of year and mode of travel are represented in
the specific source for factors. This information
should be described in terms of month of year (by land
use) and approximate percent of nonauto use (that is,
percent of person. trips made by modes other than
auto).
Adjustment for Season. For demand analyses, all
parking factors need to reflect the same "design con-
dition. "1YPically, the 30th highest hour has been used
for highway projects. Similarly, for development analy.
ses,the appropriate design period must be selected;
that is, the peak season for each land use .must be
det~rmined, based on developer's data, another
source, or study results (see exhibit 27).
However, because the design month frequently is
different for each land use in a multiuse development,
trial and error may be required to determine which
month produces the maximum aggregate parking de-
mand. The intent of the exercise is to recognize the
"aggregate effects" of seasonality. This concept is the
same as that used to determine the impact of daily
peaks.
Using the quantity for ea:ch land use, test calcula-
tions (parking demand factor multiplied by floor
space) are made to identify the controlling land use.
On this basis, a design month can be selected. Each

parking factor is then adjusted to the same month. For
example, if December is selected as the design month
for a mixed-use project, the retail factor would be the
normal peak, but the hotel factor would be factored to
a value less than its seasonal peak.
Adjustment for Mode of 1Tansportation Used. Just
as the parking demand factors must be adjusted to the
same season, they must also be adjusted to reflect the
mode of transportation used. The recommended ap-
proach is a twofold change. First, available peak park-
ing demand factors are adjusted upward to reflect 100
percent auto use_ Second, these parking factors for
100 percent auto use are adjusted downward to reflect
the expected conditions at the development project
being analyzed. For the typical suburban project
where transit is not available, the second modification
is not needed. However, for downtown projects in ur-
ban areas where transit may be used for 10 to 60
percent of the trips, this correction is significant.
The source for data about transportation modes
may be specific transportation surveys or transporta-
tion data available from planning studies for the urban
area. The latter choice requires an assessment of the
information's applicability to a specific site.
Adjustment for Captive Market. This adjustment
is optional because the effects of a captive market are
C
46
difficult to identify. Without this adjustment, the de-
mand estimate for shared parking would probably be
too conservative. .
The existence of the captive patron relationship is
identified by surveys of employees, visitors, and pa-
trons as well as by parking surveys. Captive markets
could be large enough to significantly lower parking
demand. The data might indicate a widely ranging
relationship that may not be predictable, however.
They might be analyzed in a "what if' sense to test the
possible impacts. Assuming a representative value of
captive market support could reduce parking factors
for retail or entertainment uses. An alternative would
be to undertake a specific market analysis. This analy-
sis would include a site-specific assessment of the
potential for captive market support.
STIP 3: AUlYSlS 8f lOURlY ACCllMIlAn..
This step produces an estimate of hourly parking
accumulations for each land use during a typical
weekday or weekend day (Saturday). The results of
this step identify the shape of hourly accumulation
curves for five basic land uses. The curves were rea-
sonably consistent for a wide range of surveyed sites

involving office, regional retail, and residential facili-
ties (see exhibit 28). Nonroom-related hotel activities
and entertainment uses varied significantly, however.
If site-specific data are not available for these two land
uses, survey results could be used.
Accumulation curves are then estimated for each
land use, based on the selected hourly values de-
scribed in terms of the percent of maximum design-day
parking demand expected at every hour during the day.
The parking demand factor (step 2) multiplied by
quantity of land use (step 1) produces an estimate of
peak parking demand. This value multiplied by each
hourly percentage produces an. estimate of parking
demand for every land use component by hour of day.
STEP .: (STIMAn Of SIAIEI 'AIIlIllC
The hourly parking demand for each land use is
merged to estimate overall shared parking demand for
a proposed project. This step is simply the hour-by-
hour addition of parking demand for each use to esti.
mate'the aggregate accumulation. As noted previously,
the method described above should be used for week-
day and Saturday conditions to test for the controlli'ng
value.
c
SAMPLE USE OF THE METHDIOlIGY
The following sample situation has been devised to
demonstrate the use of the recommended
methodology_
1. Objective: Th estimate the peak parking require.
ments for a proposed mixed-use development.
2. Plan: The proposed development has the following
components:
. Office = 400,000 square feet GLA
. Retail = 300,000 square feet GLA
. Hotel = 500 rooms plus 5,000 square feet of
restaurant and conference facilities with 200-seat
capacity.
3. uJCation: The project will be located in the down-
town of a medium-size urban community whose
regional popu1ation is approximately 1.5 million.
4. Mode split:17 Based on surveys conducted at exist-
ing developments in the downtown, it is estimated
that 75 percent of employees and patrons and 50
percent of hotel guests will use autos. The number
of persons per auto is assumed to be typical (1.2 for
employees, 1.8 for patrons, 1.4 for hotel guests).
17"Mode split" refers to the perceniage of people at a site who nse a
particular mode of transporlation, with the total of all modes
equaling 100 percent. '
