The presentation discusses a parking supply study conducted by environmental and traffic engineering consultants. The study found a surplus of both off-street and on-street parking spaces within a quarter-mile radius of the property.
- Study area: Quarter-mile radius around the property
- Findings: 1,500 off-street parking spaces in 10 garages and 1,500 on-street parking spaces
- Conclusion: Adequate surplus of parking spaces, even accounting for projected increases in demand

As part of the application, our environmental and traffic engineering consultant filled with Beeping Associates conducted a study of parking supply within the vicinity of the property.
1:26:50
They found the surplus of both off street parking spaces and on street parking spaces.
1:26:55
And concluded more generally that a surplus would remain with the proposed parking reduction.
1:27:00
To take you through that study in some greater detail, These are maps showing the off street and on street parking locations within a quarter mile radius of the property.
1:27:09
There are 10 existing parking garages, within that quarter mile radius containing a total of about 1500 parking spaces, and the curbside or on street parking accounts for an additional 1500 parking spaces.

1:27:25
So between these two sources of parking, we found that utilization rates generally range from 75% to 96% over the weekday, midday, and overnight periods.
1:27:35
And that equates to an average of about 4 50 available parking spaces within the quarter mile radius outside of this site.

1:27:47
So those numbers by themselves indicate that there is an adequate surplus of parking, but the most most rigorous way to do this analysis is to account for projected increases in demand resulting from population growth and surrounding development in the area.
1:28:01
And even when taking into account those factors and the proposed reduction of parking.
1:28:06
Again, we found that there would be adequate surplus in this surrounding area.
