Square requires a peak demand total of 120 spacer. according to the ITE manual. Thus, a total of 414 spaces would be required for the proposal (including Village Square) on a holiday weekend, assuming that there would be no office space parking demand on the same weekend. If 75% of the space in Village Square were devoted to office space only (as has been suggested), then the peak total spaces required would be 342 (see Table 2). The applicant has proposed a total of 410 spaces, including the existing 60 spaces in Village Square. It therefore appears that the parking to be provided in combination with that existing should be adequate for the needs of the development. RAINIER AVENUE IMPACTS Rainier Drive is most likely to be impacted by users of the east parking lot. Because of this, we recommend that all office personnel be required to park on the east parcel parking lot. Thus, the greatest impact on Rainier Drive will come during morning and afternoon peak hour traffic flows coinciding with the opening and closing times of the offices. On a worst -case basis with all office personnel using Rainier Drive, the morning peak hour would see 90 trips (in and out), the evening peak hour 102 trips, with a total average weekday traffic of 637 trips.2 However, Rainier Drive should be affected only by northbound and eastbound traffic from the project. Southbcund traffic from the east parking lot will follow the minimum travel time path to Evergreen Way which is through the main parking lot. This alternate route to and from the south should reduce the worst case traffic impact to Rainier Drive by at least 30 percent. 2 "Institute of Transportation Engineers", Trip Generation Report, July 1984, Sections 700-Office and 800-Retail. - 2 -
