SUNNY ISLES BEACH PARKING GARAGES STUDY KEITH AND SCHNARS PROJECT NO. 17747.01.9006 I. SCOPE OF SERVICES Section 1: TrafficfTransportation EnQineerinQ Services Task 1: Transportation Inventory For this study the City of Sunny Isles Beach will be divided into three distinct geographic areas (zones), These are the Northern Area, the Central Area, and the Southern Area, Parking structures are proposed within each area, near the William Lehman Causeway, Samson Park. and Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard, Within a 1,200-foot radius of each proposed structure (which represents the typical limit a person is willing to walk from a parking structure), existing parking spaces will be inventoried, as well as the general land use descriptions, If necessary, this will involve verification through field visits, windshield surveys, aerial photographs, and discussions with city staff, Task 2: Assess Committed Development Parking Coordination with City staff shall occur to obtain the approximate amount of parking spaces existing and committed developments have secured within each area, beyond those provided on-site, These yet to be constructed parking spaces will be included in the parking supply estimate for each proposed parking structure, Task 3: Assess Parking Supply Given that 1,200 feet is the typical range for motorists to walk from their parked vehicle in a structure to their destination, an estimate of the parking supply will be gathered for each proposed parking structure area, Note that parking exclusive to only the residents of the particular building will NOT be obtained as they do not represent parking available to the public, unless city staff indicate that the residents will be allowed to utilize the parking structure, This data will be compiled for each area in appropriate tables to determine the amount of available public parking spaces, Task 4: Assess Beach Parking Needs K&S will conduct a field visit during an identified weekday and weekend peak parking period to be confirmed by city staff (generally 10:00 AM through 2:00 PM) to assess the demand for parking by beach visitors, Beach visitors typically reside outside of the city and travel into the city. City staff will identify for K&S probable parking locations to observe the parking patterns and behaviors at out-at-city beach visitors, This field research will be utilized to estimate the parking demand by this specific destination group within each area. Task 5: Assess Parking Demand for Each Proposed Parking Structure Given the various land uses within 1,200 feet of each of the three parking structure's area, K&S will calculate the parking demand oriented towards a parking structure based on current land use information. (Land uses, such as a residential condominium development, that likely will not utilize the parking structure on a daily basis will not be included in the demand analysis). This calculation will utilize parking demand rates as published in ITE's Parking Generation manual, 3rd Edition. If specific parking generation rates are unavailable, this contract does NOT include services to conduct parking demand counts to locally assess parking demand rates, The estimation of parking demand will be performed for both a weekday and weekend condition, based on hourly accumulation data published by the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking, 2nd Edition, iy-,:n KEITH and SCH:\ARS, P.A. ~_,~_=_.J ENGINEERS.
