Mr. Jim Anderst -5-� Septembor 9, 20�5 The existing parking occupancy result�s are shown in Figw•e 3. Ror each of the three tinae periods, th.e number of vehicles parked in public spaces by sub-at'ea is recorded at the time of highest overall occupancy in th.e public lot. Several uoteworthy items shown in this figure are: a) The number of volucles pa��ked in sub-area A north of the Narrows Saloozi exceeds the number of public spaces available during the.Friday noon and Saturday evening periods. The additianal vehicles weze parked immediately behind the saloon and east of the striped narth-s4uth circulation aisle. b) The number of vehicles parked in sub-areas B, C, and D always were far below the available supply, with the only exceptioti being that about 75 percent of the spaces in sub-area B were occupied.diu•ing.ttie peak Saturday evenix�g time. c) The peak parking demand duri.ng all three time periods is well below the available spaees. During.the Friday noon period, the peak parking occupancy was 65 vehicles,which constitutes 50 percent of the 129 spaces available. During the Saturday early aftemoon�period, the peak parking occupancy was 59 vehicles, which constitutes 46 percenf of the 129 spsces available. During the Saturday evening period, the peak parking occupancy was 57 vehieles, which occurred at I0:45 p.m. This demand consfihttes 52 pereent of the 129 available spaces. FUTURE POTENTIAL INCREASES IN PARKTNG DEMAND In add�tion to the proposed expansion far the Nan•ows Saloon, we have learned aboul two othei• factors that may cause increased demand for parking in the public lot: a)new development consisting of a Caribou Coffee Shop and office space and b)potential increase in transit park/ride customers. The potential inezoased parking demand associated with these two i.tems is discussed next, followed�by projecrions of inereased parking demand for the Narrows Saloon. PARKING DEMAND INCREASE DUE TO CARIBOU CQFFEE SHOP DEVELOPIvTENT The development consisring of the Caribou Coffee Shop and office space is being constructed on the east side of the parking lot. According to floor plans provided by City staff;the coffee shop will occupy about 1,900 sguare feet, and the office space will occupy about 1,000 square feet. Based on surveys at other coffee sho.ps; we have eslimated that the peak parkiug demand rate for this�use will.be�about 11 spaces per 1,OQ0 square feet. �Thus, the estimated parking peak demand for this use is21 spaces. For llte Fri.day and Saturday�novn peak times for this parking analys�s;we have estimated.the parking dema�id for the coffee shop will be about 50 percent of its peak or 11 spaces. For the late Satur�iay evening peak period �or.this analysis,we have estimated the parking demand for l�e coffee shop will be tliree vehicles. The peak parkin$demand for tl�e of�ce space is expected to be three vehi.cles per 1,�00 squaz-e feet. Since the space will consist of 1,000 squaze feet, �he peak demand will be three paxked vehicles. V�e expect that peak demand of lhree vehic]es will ocqur during the Friday noon peak period. During the two Saturday peak periods,we wouid expect the office space will generate a demand for one parking space duri;ng the early afiernoo�x period and will not generate any parking demand during the late Sahu•day evening period. 0Ti90'd i1.9T R�'? �� -�n�aH sr -�ru�u�ti�sr �c•ca c�ara�_ora_��c
