S.F. S.F. S.F. S.F. <br />1 5,800 2,400 14,500 <br />2 6,500 25,900 <br />3 1,200 12,100 2,800 <br />4 21,000 <br />5 10,900 3,800 24,400 <br />6 6,300 23,300 <br />7 <br />8 <br />Totals 7,500 52,100 13,100 73,700 14,500 <br />Table 5 presents the estimated existing and future demand. The upper portion is <br />a model of existing demand. The model applies demand ratios to the land use <br />data shown in Table 4. The model estimates the parking demand for a weekday <br />similar to the survey day of June 20, 2007. Some future businesses and the visitors <br />to the residential units may generate a peak parking demand at other times of <br />the day. <br />The demand generated by a funeral home is characterized by peaks and <br />valleys and is difficult to predict. The number of mourners present at a specific <br />service will also vary widely. Therefore, the model does not include an estimate <br />of the demand generated by the funeral home. Likewise the existing spaces in <br />the funeral home parking lot will not be used in the calculations concerning <br />future supply versus demand. <br />The model also does not include the demand for parking generated by residents <br />of the apartments and condominiums in the new developments or in the existing <br />residential units located above commercial space. Below grade spaces in the <br />new developments will provide parking for the residents. Again the supply of <br />September 2007 <br />Carl Walker, Inc. <br />9 <br />
