Transportation Impact Analysis <br /> Providence Regional Medical Center New Medical Clinic Building and Parking Lot Reconfiguration April 2016 <br /> Parking Analysis <br /> Figure 8 illustrates the parking components associated with each project. The first is the <br /> parking associated with the proposed clinic and the second is the existing parking lot that <br /> serves the Campus uses. The following addresses the clinic parking first and then the <br /> reconfiguration of the parking lot. <br /> The proposal includes construction of 148 new parking spaces for the proposed clinic on the <br /> northern side of the site. This includes 76 surface parking stalls located west and south of the <br /> clinic building and 72 parking stalls located under the proposed clinic building. Per the <br /> existing Master Plan standards and guidelines, a parking study is required to determine if the <br /> proposal would have adequate parking. <br /> To estimate the demand for this clinic, data was collected at the existing Providence Medical <br /> Group Monroe Clinic. The Monroe clinic is similar to the proposed project. Data was collected <br /> in March 2016 on a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 10 a.m. 2 p.m. This study <br /> period is consistent with the time period for the medical office/clinic peak parking demand <br /> based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation, 4th Edition. <br /> Appendix E provides a summary of the parking data. Based on the data collected and <br /> following the procedures in ITE Parking Generation for calculating the 85th percentile parking <br /> demand rate, the parking study shows a rate of 3.93 parking spaces per 1,000 square-feet. <br /> With the proposed 37,000 square-foot building, the resulting parking demand would be 146 <br /> spaces. The proposed parking supply of 148 spaces would be adequate to support the <br /> parking demand. It is noted the 85th percentile parking rate used to determine parking <br /> demand represents the rate that would only be exceeded 15 percent of the time and on <br /> average parking demand for the site would be less. There is some seasonal variation related <br /> medical parking demand and data collected would be representative of average to high <br /> conditions whereas summer months are typically lower. Additional parking is available <br /> elsewhere with the Campus if there are occasional parking peaks that could not be <br /> accommodated on-site. <br /> Parking Lot Reconfiguration <br /> The site is currently occupied by the Central Utility Plant(CUP) and a surface parking lot with <br /> 316 parking spaces. With the proposed project the CUP would remain on the site and the <br /> existing parking lot would be reconfigured to provide a total of 351 parking spaces (or an <br /> increase of 35 spaces). The new parking would be accommodated through restriping the <br /> existing parking lot and providing additional parking spaces to the west of the CUP. This <br /> parking would continue to accommodate existing Campus employees. <br /> Construction <br /> Construction impacts for the would proposal generally include: <br /> • Arrival, departure, and parking of construction worker vehicles <br /> • Delivery of construction materials <br /> • Removal of debris associated with demolition activity <br /> • Delivery of construction vehicles and machinery <br /> • Delivery or removal of material associated with fill or excavation of activity <br /> • Potential impacts to on-site bicycle and pedestrian traffic <br /> t 17 <br />
