San Leandro Downtown Parking Demand Analysis <br />August 3, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Parking Inventory and Occupancy <br />As part of the Downtown San Leandro Parking Data Analysis, parking inventory and occupancy <br />counts, including license plate data, were collected during the month of September during one <br />midweek (Tuesday, September 10th, 2013) and one weekend day (Saturday, September 7th, 2013). <br />For the purpose of this analysis, these parking occupancies were analyzed in order to estimate <br />parking demand for the most typical midweek and weekend day. License plate data was utilized to <br />determine other characteristics like the customer/employee parking ratio. Table 2 provides <br />existing parking inventory within the study area, as well as parking occupancies during the midday <br />peak (around 12 PM) and evening hour (5 PM) parking periods. <br /> <br />Overall, at the time of data collection, the existing downtown parking inventory within the study <br />area comprised a total of 3,203 publicly available parking spaces. This includes all types of spaces, <br />including short-term and handicap spaces, but excludes parking spaces assigned exclusively with a <br />particular land use. The available public parking facilities and on-street parking blockfaces are <br />shown in Figure 1. <br />Table 2 Existing On-Street and Off-Street Parking Inventory and Occupancy <br /> <br /> <br />Space Type <br /> <br />Day of Week <br /> <br />Inventory Midday Peak Hour <br />(12 PM) Occupancy <br />Evening Hour (5 PM) <br />Occupancy <br /> <br />On-Street Midweek <br />1,737 997 (57%) 923 (53%) <br /> Weekend 835 (48%) 836 (48%) <br /> <br />Off-Street Midweek <br />1,466 740 (50%) 636 (43%) <br /> Weekend 684 (47%) 525 (36%) <br /> <br />Total Midweek <br />3,203 1,737 (54%) 1,559 (49%) <br /> Weekend 1,519 (47%) 1,361 (42%) <br /> <br /> <br />The total combined on-street and off-street occupancies at the midday peak hour and evening hour <br />remain relatively consistent. Midweek occupancies were at its highest during the midday peak hour <br />at 55 percent; weekend occupancies also reach its highest peak during the midday peak hour at 48 <br />percent. <br /> <br />Existing parking occupancies vary highly between different off-street lots and on-street parking <br />blockfaces. In general, parking occupancies west of East 14th Street experience higher occupancies <br />than east of East 14th Street on the midweek. Weekend occupancies are relatively consistent across <br />the study area, with higher occupancies at the Pelton Center Lot and areas north of the library; the <br />Pelton Center Lot is the only off-street lot with sustained high occupancies for both midweek and <br />weekend days. <br />Future Scenarios <br />This section discusses the assumptions and expected changes in land uses in the downtown <br />demand area of San Leandro. These changes were evaluated on a short-term (pipeline) and longer- <br /> <br />109425 <br />678
