Re: Riv: rton Mixed Use - Tukwila
Par ing Demand Analysis
Dear Ms. C : mpbell,
March 6, 2012
We have pr -pared this Peak Parking Demand Analysis for the proposed Riverton Mixed Use
project in T kwila. The project proposes to provide the following:
➢ 23 nit apartment
➢ 3,0 0 sf commercial space (envisioned uses include a small cafe and office)
The proposed project is located at 12909 East Marginal Way in the City of Tukwila. Access to
the site is v a a driveway off of East Marginal Way South. The proposed project proposes to
provide 51 parking stalls; 39 parking stalls will be on the site and 12 parking stalls will be
adjacent to the site.
An aerial of the site obtained from
King County IMap is depicted to
the right.
This report s prepared to identify
the peak parking demand for the
proposed poject per City
requireme is and Institute of
Transporta ion Engineers (ITE)
data. The eak parking demand is
conducted or the apartment peak
and comm rcial peaks.
The summ
recommen ations are on page 4
of this repo
ry, conclusions and
Figure 1 is : vicinity map of the proposed project. A preliminary site plan is depicted on

project is a
JTE, Inc.
ulti -use project that encompasses the aforementioned uses and thus is
conducive t• shared parking.
Peak Parki Demand Anal sis
I conducte• the peak parking demand utilizing six scenarios:
➢ Peak demand for Apartment - Urban and Suburban
➢ Peak demand for Office - Urban and Suburban
➢ Peak Demand for the Cafe - Urban and Suburban
Included in the appendix is the Excel spreadsheet that shows the peak parking demand for
the above mentioned scenarios. The site is situated in an area that is neither completely
Urban nor Suburban in nature; thus both the Urban and Suburban ITE parking data is used.
The Suburban ITE data, as would be expected, shows higher parking demand than the Urban
data.
My analysi using City parking rates indicates that the peak parking demand for the project
to be 47 st4ills. Using ITE data the peak parking is projected at 34 stalls using Suburban
data and 25 using Urban data. The residential peak parking demand on Saturday is 14%
less than during the weekday and little parking is projected for the Office on weekends; thus
my analysis focused on the weekday peak.
I recommend that a transit schedule kiosk be provided in the lobby of the building and
appropriate bike parking be provided.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This report analyzed the Peak Parking Demand for the proposed Riverton Mixed Use project.
The parking requirements are governed by City Zoning Code. A peak parking analysis was
done using the required City parking and the percentage of peak parking during the time of
peak for each land use as derived in the ITE Parking Generation.
I used the ity parking requirement data and ITE data for time of peak parking demand to
calculate t e peak parking during the peak period for the Apartment and the commercial
scenarios. My analysis indicates the highest peak parking demand scenario occurred during
the late ev ning/early AM peak period that resulted in a peak parking demand of 47 spaces.
The propos d project provides 51 spaces that are sufficient to accommodate the peak
parking de and. Transit service is available adjacent and near the site and ITE data shows
less parkin demand. The installation of a bus schedule kiosk in the building lobby and
appropriat: bike parking is recommended.

TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE
18.56.140 Administrative Variance from Parking
Standards
A. General:
1. A request for an administrative variance from
required parking standards must be received prior to any
issuance of building or engineering permits. Administrative
variances are only eligible for requests for reductions of
required parking between 1% and 10 %. Requests for
reductions from minimum' parking standards in excess of 10%
must be made to the Planning Commission.
2. The project developer shall present all findings to
the Director prior to any final approvals, including design review,
conditional use permit review, building review or any other
permit reviews required by the Director.
B. Criteria:
1. All requests for reductions in parking shall be
reviewed under the criteria established in this section.
2. In addition to the following requirements, the
Director may require specific measures not listed to ensure that
all impacts with reduced parking are mitigated. Any spillover
parking which cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction of the
Director will serve as the basis for denial. A reduction may be
allowed, pursuant to either an Administrative variance or
requests to the Planning Commission, after:
a. All shared parking strategies are explored.
b. On -site park and ride opportunities are fully
explored.
c. The site is in compliance with the City's
commute trip reduction ordinance or, if not an affected employer
as defined by the City's ordinance, agrees to become affected.
d. The site is at least 300 feet away from a single -
family residential zone.
e. A report is submitted providing a basis for less
parking and mitigation necessary to offset any negative effects.
C. Process:
1. An applicant shall submit evidence that decreased
parking will not have a negative impact on surrounding
properties or potential future uses. This may take the form of a
brief report for administrative variances. Decreases in excess
of 10% must be made to the Planning Commission. The
Director may require additional studies to ensure that negative
impacts are properly mitigated. A complete and detailed
Parking Demand study is required for requests reviewed by the
Planning Commission.
2. All site characteristics should be described in
report, including
a. Site accessibility for transit.
b. Site proximity to transit, with 15- to 30- minute
headways.
c. Shared use of on -site parking.
d. Shared use of off -site parking.
e. Combined on -site parking.
f. Employee density.
g. Adjacent land uses.
Page 18-178
D. Review: Applications for Administrative Variances for
reductions below minimum parking requirements between 1%
and 10% shall be processed as Type 2 decisions, pursuant to
TMC 18.108.020. Applications for reductions from minimum
parking requirements in excess of 10% shall be processed as
Type 4 decisions, pursuant to TMC 18.108.040, including a
hearing before the Planning Commission.

Parking studies of apartments should attempt to obtain information on occupancy rate and on the
mix of apartment sizes (in other words, number of bedrooms per apartment and number of units
in the complex). Future parking studies should also indicate the number of levels contained in the
apartment building.
Additional Data
• Apartment occupancy can affect parking demand ratio. In the United States, successful apartment
complexes commonly have a vacancy rate between 5 and 10 percent.'

As noted, peak parking demand rates were different between sites located in suburban settings and
those located in urban settings for the independent variable 1,000 sq. ft. GFA. The individual site surveys
did not enable a quantitative explanation of the factors that caused the difference. One potential
explanation may relate to differences in the availability of alternative modes (for example, transit, bike and
pedestrian) available at the urban sites. Of the studies with data on transit availability and presence of a
transportation demand management (TDM) program, the suburban sites reported about 55 percent with
available transit services and 20 percent with TDM programs. The urban sites reported almost 100
percent with available transit and 63 percent with TDM programs of some form.
Weekend parking demand data were available at two study sites. At one site, the Saturday peak demand
was less than 10 percent of peak weekday demand at the same site. At the other site, the Saturday and
Sunday demand approached 90 percent of the weekday peak demand for the same site. It was not
possible to derive reliable weekend parking demand rates due to lack of information on the nature of work
conducted during the weekend at the two sites.
The following table presents the time -of -day distributions of parking demand variation for suburban and
urban sites. The only sites included in the table data were those that submitted at least four consecutive
hours of parking demand observations. (Note: the majority of the parking demand data in the overall
database consisted of one or two hourly observations.)
