<br />Page 2 of 2 | Memorandum for 1388 Bancroft Parking Study <br />parking turnover values for the individual dates as well as the averages for Wednesday, Thursday, <br />and Saturday. Parking inventory information was also collected to provide accurate occupancy <br />results. Results for the parking study were calculated down to the block face level for assessment. <br />Partial license plate information was collected three times each day, on each block face in the <br />study area, during morning, afternoon, and evening collection times. The license plate information <br />was then used to calculate the average occupancy value and turnover time for the study area. <br />Block faces with a parking occupancy rate greater than 85% is considered approaching the parking <br />limit threshold. Parking occupancy rates less than 85% is considered as having adequate parking <br />supply to address the parking impacts of the 1388 Bancroft project. <br />Key Results <br />The parking study concisely shows ample parking available to the residents within the 1388 <br />Bancroft area during all portions of the day, regardless of the day of the week, and, the results <br />continue to demonstrate that most, if not all, residents can park within a reasonable walking <br />distance (up to 800 feet, which is equivalent to approximately 1 or 2 blocks) of their residence. <br />The results of the parking study show that the parking occupancy surrounding 1388 Bancroft is <br />low, below 65% in most cases. The parking occupancy map, which displays the aggregated results <br />of the study, demonstrates that there is plenty of available on-street parking in the parking area <br />throughout the day. This is especially true for the immediate block faces around the 1388 Bancroft <br />Ave site. While some block faces occasionally exceeded 85% occupancy rate, they are the <br />exception. <br />Several notes can be made about the areas around 1388 Bancroft. Joaquin Ave, bounded by <br />Bancroft Ave to the West and San Jose St to the East, demonstrated less than 50% or less parking <br />occupancy for each day of collection during each collection time. Bancroft Ave, bounded by <br />Estudillo Ave to the North and Joaquin Ave to the South, demonstrated 50% or less parking <br />occupancy for every day of collection, except for 1pm on March 11th. Joaquin Ave, bounded by <br />Santa Maria St to the West and Bancroft Ave to the East, demonstrated between 50% occupancy <br />and 85% during all collection time and dates, never exceeding the 85% occupancy mark. Finally, <br />Bancroft Ave, bounded by Joaquin Ave to the North and Juana Ave to the South, consistently <br />demonstrated less than 65% occupancy. <br />Parking turnover results show more than one third of all vehicles stayed parked all day, with <br />vehicles staying longer on Saturdays compared to the weekdays. Similarly, vehicles parked for <br />shorter time periods during the weekdays. Combined with occupancy data, the area around 1388 <br />Bancroft displayed a predictable pattern of higher occupancy in the morning, lower occupancy in <br />the afternoon, and occupancy levels returning to their higher levels in the evening. <br />534
