And yet, they are all lower than we might expect them to <br />be. Using the ULI shared parking number as a base for our formula, staff feels that 3 spaces per <br />1,000 is a very reasonable requirement for shared parking. This would give approximately 38% <br />reduction for density, mixed-use, walkability, and transit, which is very sound. And this number <br />is still very much in line with Cathedral City and Mountain View, for example, and is even close <br />to the ITE average parking generation rate. This should certainly be "just enough" parking for <br />future commercial uses in Downtown Redwood City. <br /> \ <br /> 'P'~6 ?fl <br /> -+ .-.- "'.".. - "__,,,_ ""~"___"""____'" '__W__~__~'_..""^_'_fi__._ ._ ___._...__._ _.._._....____._ +______. ._. <br />- <br />
