these goals within their own workplaces but they are also essential for providing leadership for other businesses. The City GMA goals are remarkably similar to the County CTR goals and would result in basically the same parking requirements. as summarized on Table 7. Table 7 Parking Demands Based on County CTR and City GMA Goals 2001 2005 Employees 950 1,000 Fleet 270 270 Jurors 80 80 Visitors Long Term 80 85 Short Term 90 95 Total Demand 1,470 1,530 6.4 Parking Needs Evaluation and Parking Management The potential parking needs for the County campus identified in the various calculation methods in this analysis range from as few as 1,200 parking spaces in 2005 (the liberal interpretation of City Code) to as many as 3,230 parking spaces by 2005 (the ITE rates for floor space). We believe that the City parking code reflects the goal of attaining the City's GMA targets in the downtown of"55% SOV" for employee commute trips. In this case, the downtown"B-3" zone requires one parking space per 800 square feet of floor area— 1,200 parking spaces by 2005. This amount of parking would satisfy the 1,000 parking spaces required for County employees in 2005 if they commuted at the "53% SOV" County CTR target level. These needs might be considered the "baseline" requirements for the "government administrative offices" considered in the code plus an allowance for visitors. The excess parking demands seem to be generated by two unique sources— fleet vehicles and jurors. By 2005, these two "additional" needs could require a further 350 parking spaces. These "additional" needs are apparently a top priority in current allocations. There are currently enough parking spaces provided for department needs for fleet vehicles and currently, every juror receives a parking pass. This priority displaces the needs for employees and visitors. After reviewing all of the different rates and data we believe that the "Parking Needs by County CTR and City GMA Goals" illustrated on Table 7 are the best estimates of the future needs of the campus. We also believe that there are several other programs that may be employed to manage the parking facilities more efficiently to reduce the overall number of parking spaces required. Some of these techniques are being used today in a very limited fashion, such as "festival" parking rather than "reserved" parking. "Festival" parking is where a parking permit is issued but a specific parking space is not allocated. Drivers simply take the first available parking space they find. Because many vehicles are not present every day due to a driver's sickness, vacation, attendance at CRI Transportation Impact Analysis Page 15 June 2002
