10 Memorandum

To: Walter Beaumont, CRA/lA From: Janet Harvey, lteris, Inc.

Date: August 10, 2011 Job Number: 16J09-1645

Re: San Pedro Parking Study-Summary of Work Completed.

As requested by CRA/lA staff, this memo provides a summary of work completed to date, along with the findings. The parking study included the downtown area of San Pedro, generally bounded by 5'h Street to the north, 8th Street to the south, Pacific Avenue to the west and Harbor Boulevard to the east, along with an additional area south of 8th Street.

Parking Survey lteris, Inc. assisted CRA/lA develop parking surveys for completion by employees and customers/visitors. After the surveys were returned, lteris summarized the surveys in tabular format. The surveys generally showed:

Customers/Visitors:

• Most surveys appeared to be from people in the area for events at Warner Grand, few from customers of local businesses and restaurants.

• 98% drove to the area, rather than taking public transit, biking or walking.

• 56% utilized on-street parking, and 22% used surface lots.

• A large majority (84%) were in the area for two or more hours.

• Only 15% said the parking was very convenient, 50% said parking was not very convenient.

• The survey asked about the price of parking, and if the price were $0.50 or $1.00 per hour, would the price influence their choice to come to Downtown San Pedro. At $0.50 per hour, 62% said it would not or somewhat influence their choice to visit. At $1.00 per hour, only 46% said it would not or somewhat influence their choice.

• Remembering that most responses were from Warner Grand visitors, there were many comments about having more convenient parking near the theater and for special events. Several comments noted the lack of handicap parking spaces; many others noted broken parking meters. There were several comments recommending a multi-level parking structure in the downtown area to provide convenient parking.

• Only 13 employee surveys were obtained, thus they may not represent a cross-section of employees.

• 87% of employees said they drove to downtown and 7% each said they took transit or walked/biked to downtown.

• 83% parked in private lots, 17% parked in surface lots.

• 83% did not pay for parking, probably those who use private lots. The 17% that parked in surface lots did not state how they paid for parking or the amount they paid.

• No employees said parking was not very convenient, while 77% said parking was very convenient.

• 73% of employees would not be willing to park outside the downtown area and use a shuttle to their worksite.

Parking Inventory

The number of parking spaces in and near the study area were inventoried. This inventory identified:

• 1,932 private parking spaces

• 433 spaces in City metered lots

• On-street parking consisting of 448 metered curbside spaces, and 479 unmetered, curbside spaces.

Parking Utilization and Duration

Parking utilization and duration surveys were conducted during a weekday and a Saturday. Due to construction occurring in the area at that time, not all blocks were counted. The occupancy surveys noted the number of parking spaces that were occupied each hour, The duration surveys noted license plates, to determine the length of time that the vehicles were parked in a particular parking spot.

The Data showed:

Weekday on-street parking occupancy reached a maximum overall occupancy of 57% at 1:00PM. The parking was about 50% occupied during the day, and dropped at 5:00 PM to approximately 31% occupancy, which is typical for an area with offices and business that are generally busy during the day. There was a slight increase in occupancy in the early evening during the time restaurants would be busy with dinner service. The maximum of 57% occupancy indicated that during a typical weekday, on-street parking is generally available. The blocks with highest occupancy were, as expected, in the blocks between 5th Street and 7'h Street.

The weekend on-street occupancy counts were conducted during a Saturday. This data showed a fairly consistent occupancy of 40% during the day, with a slight peak at noon. Occupancy later grew to approximately just over 50% in the evening; this is when restaurants would be busiest on a weekend. Note

Page 12 that there were no events at the Warner Grand when these counts were taken. Occupancy was highest in the blocks between 5'h Street and 7'h Street.

Weekend occupancy counts were also obtained at five off-street public lots that had a total of 244 parking spaces. Similar to on-street results, parking occupancy was highest in the evening, beginning at 7:00 PM. Parking averaged approximately 30% occupancy during the day, and up to 60% in the evening.

The weekend analysis shows that parking is generally available in the downtown San Pedro area.

Parking duration surveys were collected during a Saturday, and included areas that had parking meters, and other areas that did not have parking meters. Data was calculated showing the length of stay in a particular parking space.

Parking spaces on streets that had parking meters showed the following:

• 6'h Street from Pacific to Mesa (2-hour meters)

North Side: 64% 1-hour, 19% 2-hours South Side: 56% 1-hour, 27% 2-hours 11 vehicles parked 4 or more hours

• 6'h Street from Mesa to Centre (2-hour meters)

North Side: 56% 1-hour, 25% 2-hours South Side: 62% 1-hour, 25% 2-hours 10 vehicles parked 4 or more hours

Parking spaces on streets that did not have parking meters showed the following:

• g'h Street from Gaffey to Grand (no meters)

North Side: 17% 1-hour, 15% 2-hours South Side: 52% 1-hour, 6% 2-hours 28 cars parked 5 or more hours

• g'h Street from Grand to Pacific (no meters)

North Side: 63% 1-hour, 22% 2-hours South Side: 65% 1-hour, 13% 2-hours 1 car parked 5 or more hours

The data shows that in areas with parking meters, some spaces are occupied for longer than the two-hour limit, which limits use by new visitors to the area. Previous studies have shown that when on-street meters are being used for extended time periods, they are usually being used by local employees.

Current and Future Parking Needs lteris began work on creating the inventory of land uses for each block within the study area. Data was provided by CRA staff, and additional work was needed to determine the number of bedrooms for residential units, since parking is generally related to the number of bedrooms.

The next step would be to calculate theoretical parking rates based on City code, and compare to the actual parking demand, which is obtained from the parking surveys. This is used to validate the model, which then will take into account some of the shared parking uses currently occurring in the study area.

Due to the project being place on hold, full parking occupancy surveys were not completed in June 2010. Thus, the parking model has not been fully completed.

Once the parking model is complete, future parking needs would be calculated using proposed land use changes. These new land uses would be input into the model, and additional parking needs would be identified. This information can then be used to help develop parking management strategies and implementation plans.

Data

Data collected for this project has been provided to CRA staff for their files.
