4 | P a g e Shared Parking Analysis Shared parking is the use of parking spaces to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment. The ability to share parking spaces is the result of variations in the accumulation of vehicles by hour, by day or by season at the individual land uses. The shared parking principle also accounts for the relationships among the land uses that result in visiting multiple uses on the same auto trip and the mode of transportation used to reach the site. The main goal of shared parking is to determine a balance between providing enough parking to support a development and reducing the excessive area dedicated to parking. Shared parking analysis was conducted for the project based on the procedures outlined in the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Shared Parking, 2nd Edition and parking rates provided in the city of Sunny Isles Beach Code of Ordinances (Article VIII). The hourly distribution analysis was conducted for both, a typical weekday and a weekend. The results of the analysis show that the highest accumulation of parking occurs during a typical weekend between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Attachment 2 includes the results of the analysis. Parking requirements based on the individual land uses were adjusted to account for seasonal variations, hourly distribution, non-captive ratios and mode adjustments to estimate the actual number of parking spaces required for the site. It should be noted that the hourly parking demand distribution for the residential component of the development was assumed to be 100%. In essence the residential parking spaces were not accounted for in the shared parking calculations. The result of the shared parking analysis shows that the proposed project requires 1,022 parking spaces to satisfy the maximum parking requirement. Exhibit 3 shows the results of the analysis.
