Lessons from the Scenarios Parking management is critical to creating a walkable district. Parking cost is critical to development feasibility The Westgate property can be the cornerstone for district revitalization. Several key public investments have the potential to catalyze redevelopment in Creekside.
Parking Management is critical to a walkable place.
What do we mean by managed parking? Managed Parking is like a Water Tower
Flexible Parking Requirements Shared parking meets needs and costs less. Normal minimum parking requirements do not recognize that different land uses have peak parking demand during different times of day. Required Minimum Parking Shared Parking Utilization Parking Spaces Required 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 0 5:00 AM 7:00 AM 9:00 AM 11:00 AM 1:00 PM 3:00 PM Time of Day 5:00 PM 7:00 PM 9:00 PM 11:00 PM 1:00 AM Hotel Office Residential Retail Restaurant Parking Spaces Used 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000-5:00 AM 7:00 AM 9:00 AM 11:00 AM 1:00 PM 3:00 PM Time of Day 5:00 PM 7:00 PM 9:00 PM 11:00 PM 1:00 AM Hotel Office Residential Retail Restaurant If some spaces are shared between uses, space requirements can be reduced by 15% to 30%. Mixed use areas are perfect for these strategies. 32
Creating a Park Once District Mixed use environments allow people to meet several trip needs within a walkable area. Mixed use areas around the country have seen internal trip capture rates ranging from 20 50% 33
Discussion What do you think of a managed approach to parking in the Creekside District? What role would you be comfortable with the City playing?
Westgate Property: City/Metro owned catalytic development site in the heart of the District
Draft Urban Design Diagram A graphic tool for illustrating how the Creekside District will take shape: Streetscapes Building orientation Walking/biking routes Access points Parking Will be an element of the Master Plan
BIKE HEAT MAP
Public Investments Need for investment in infrastructure to create opportunities for development. Public intervention and support is needed in the District to support investment.
