Alternatives Analysis Auditorium Plaza Garage Kansas City, Missouri 850 West Jackson Boulevard, Suite 310 Chicago, IL 60607 312.633.4260 walkerconsultants.com August 20, 2019 Mr. Bruce Campbell Manager – ParkSmart KC City of Kansas City, Missouri City Hall, 414 E. 12th Street Kansas City, MO 64106 Re: Alternatives Analysis Auditorium Plaza Garage Kansas City, Missouri Dear Mr. Campbell: Walker Consultants (“Walker”) sincerely appreciates the opportunity to provide the accompanying parking alternatives analysis for the Auditorium Plaza Garage beneath Barney Allis Plaza in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The City of Kansas City (“KCMO”) leadership, in support of continuous community improvement, wants to ensure public access to local destinations through strategic improvements and overall enhancements to the delivery of public parking services. KCMO engaged Walker to study site and area parking needs under current and future conditions and evaluate a few of the best ways to meet those needs. The following report provides an understanding the current parking needs in the immediate area, potential impacts of pending development, and how best to meet needs (as defined by KCMO priority). Groundwork from the proposed CBD Parking Study was used to provide insight into current and future supply and demand. This analysis was performed to speak specifically to the best way to balance parking needs once the Auditorium Plaza Garage is removed from service – replacing in-kind, partial replacement (balance of parking need accommodated nearby), or no replacement (entire parking need accommodated nearby). The alternatives analysis would consider quantitative and qualitative factors weighted by stakeholder input to inform recommendations. We look forward to engaging further with KCMO to provide excellent service and value-added insight from Walker’s years of experience in the parking industry. Sincerely, WALKER CONSULTANTS Ezra D.

The facility requires significant repair or replacement. Given significant capital expenditures would be • On non-large event days there were over 3,000 spaces available during the Noon weekday peak in the study needed on the site, the City of Kansas City (“KCMO”) is in the process of exploring options for redevelopment of the entire area; Barney Allis Plaza / APG footprint. To identify the most strategically sound options for replacement of the parking supply, • The top three facilities with available parking were: Walker was asked to: o Arts District Garage – 852 available spaces; o • Identify how many spaces are needed to replace the APG given future parking needs; and, APG – 761 available spaces; and, o KC Southern – 504 available spaces. • Evaluate current and viable alternative sites and provide preliminary financial impacts of various options. 10-Year Projections The alternatives analysis was developed to speak specifically to the best way to balance parking needs once the APG is removed from service, which include: • 10-Year projections indicated that with the addition of proposed new development and removal of the APG, there would be a surplus of under 300 spaces (about 3% in study area), which would result in a perceived • Replacing in-kind – with roughly 960 spaces replaced on-site; shortfall overall in the study area, and real shortfalls in localized areas; • Partial replacement - some spaces on-site and the balance of parking need accommodated nearby; or, • Significant additional future needs were projected from private developments with parking needs exceeding • No replacement – the entire parking need accommodated nearby. proposed supply; • KCMO is not responsible to meet those needs but presenting those potential future market conditions provides In broad terms, Walker performed the tasks below to evaluate data and collect stakeholder insights to provide informed context for this evaluation. recommendations.

  • The Raphael Fact Sheet
    News The Raphael Fact Sheet Address 325 Ward Parkway (at Wornall Road) Kansas City, Missouri 64112 http://www.raphaelkc.com Telephone: 816.756.3800 Facsimile: 816.802.2131 Toll Free Reservations: 800.821.5343 Online Reservations: autographcollectionhotels.com Location The Raphael Hotel is ideally situated on a tree-lined boulevard overlooking the Brush Creek water parkway and the Country Club Plaza, Kansas City’s premier shopping, dining and cultural district. The hotel provides convenient access to the city’s major attractions, including the downtown arts, business and convention district, cultural attractions and parks. History The property was originally opened in 1928 as an apartment building known as the Villa Serena. In 1974, the J.C. Nichols Company purchased and renovated the nine-story, Italian Renaissance Revival style structure. It was reborn The Raphael in September, 1975. The complete renovation preserved the building’s vintage style and classic design while providing for modern comforts expected by contemporary business and pleasure travelers. When it opened, The Raphael helped pioneer a “boutique hotel” trend. The concept, revolutionary at the time, was designed to create individualistic hotels with European charm, character and intimacy; offer personalized service; and exceptional value. In 2005, The Raphael was purchased by Lighthouse Properties, a hospitality development and management company owned by the Walker family of Salina, Kansas. In 2007, management began the most extensive restoration of the property since its 1975 conversion. The project, completed in December, 2010, included new construction in guest rooms, including plumbing, heating, ventilation and cooling; new bathroom features and fixtures; completely new guest room decor, including carpet, beds and bedding, furniture, art and amenities; refurbished corridors; the addition of a new fitness center and a 24-hour business center; restoration and enhancements to the lobby; and refinements to the patio.

  • The History Speaks Project: Vision and Voices of Kansas City's Past
    History Speaks: Visions and Voices of Kansas City’s Past Western Historical Manuscript Collection Kansas City Charles N. Kimball Lecture Carol A. Mickett, PhD October 22, 2002 The Charles N. Kimball Lecture Series is a tribute to our late friend and civic leader, Dr. Charles N. Kimball, President Emeritus of the Midwest Research Institute, to acknowledge his support of the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City and his enduring interest in the exchange of ideas. Charlie Kimball was a consummate networker bringing together people and ideas because he knew that ideas move people to action. His credo, “Chance favors a prepared mind,” reflects the belief that the truest form of creativity requires that we look two directions at once—to the past for guidance and inspiration, and to the future with hope and purpose. The study of experiences, both individual and communal—that is to say history—prepares us to understand and articulate the present, and to create our future— to face challenges and to seize opportunities. Sponsored by the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Kansas City, the Series is not intended to be a continuation of Charlie’s popular Midcontinent Perspectives, but does share his primary goal: to encourage reflection and discourse on issues vitally important to our region. The topic of the lectures may vary, but our particular focus is on understanding how historical developments affect and inform our region’s present and future. The Lectures will be presented by persons from the Kansas City region semi- annually in April, near the anniversary of Charlie’s birth, and in October.

  • Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance
    Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City By Lance Russell Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Johns, Chair Professor Paul Groth Professor Margaret Crawford Professor Louise Mozingo Fall 2016 Abstract Beautiful and Damned: Geographies of Interwar Kansas City by Lance Russell Owen Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Johns, Chair Between the World Wars, Kansas City, Missouri, achieved what no American city ever had, earning a Janus-faced reputation as America’s most beautiful and most corrupt and crime-ridden city. Delving into politics, architecture, social life, and artistic production, this dissertation explores the geographic realities of this peculiar identity. It illuminates the contours of the city’s two figurative territories: the corrupt and violent urban core presided over by political boss Tom Pendergast, and the pristine suburban world shaped by developer J. C. Nichols. It considers the ways in which these seemingly divergent regimes in fact shaped together the city’s most iconic features—its Country Club District and Plaza, a unique brand of jazz, a seemingly sophisticated aesthetic legacy written in boulevards and fine art, and a landscape of vice whose relative scale was unrivalled by that of any other American city. Finally, it elucidates the reality that, by sustaining these two worlds in one metropolis, America’s heartland city also sowed the seeds of its own destruction; with its cultural economy tied to political corruption and organized crime, its pristine suburban fabric woven from prejudice and exclusion, and its aspirations for urban greatness weighed down by provincial mindsets and mannerisms, Kansas City’s time in the limelight would be short lived.
