San Leandro Downtown Parking Demand Analysis August 3, 2015 Page 15 existing conditions. This decrease is largely due to the addition of the San Leandro Tech Campus’s new parking supply. While the Marea Alta Apartments, the San Leandro Tech Campus, and Galvin projects are being added in the short-term scenario as pipeline developments, they were regarded as being self-parked projects; as such, most of that new parking demand is self-contained within the individual land uses’ parking supply. The 10-year long-term scenario includes overall projected growth in all land use square footage along with the additional supply from the San Leandro Tech Campus’s new parking structure. With the projected growth and increase in supply, parking occupancy rates are expected to be slightly less than existing conditions. Effective Parking Supply A parking facility or system is often perceived as full when it has not yet reached its capacity. This is usually in the range of 85 to 95 percent occupancy. Effective parking supply (practical capacity) is the number of occupied spaces at optimum operating efficiency. This range has to do with the familiarity of users with all the details of the parking system, (i.e. what spaces are likely to be available at a certain time of day and thus a lower cushion) versus a parking system that serves more unfamiliar users. A small supply cushion would be appropriate during the anticipated system peaks to help reduce search time during the peak. It also provides additional cover for operating and seasonal fluctuations in occupancy. Future short-term and long-term parking occupancies are anticipated to remain below practical capacity for both midweek and weekend days at the midday peak hour and evening hour for downtown San Leandro. This indicates existing supply is and would continue to be sufficient for short-term and long-term future development. 109425 688
