�1.�5f� conducted in 2000) plus estimated parldng demand for approved but not-yet-cons�ucud developmenis. The total dematrd (backgrowid plus project demand) was incrcased by a 10 peloent factor to incorpoiate a parlang vacancy allowance�. The comparisons of the overall parldng demands and supplies and resuking suepluses and deficits for the � approved project and for the revised project with the Haee parldng altematives (315, 550, or 690 spaces) for Friday and Sahuday conditions are presented in Table A9. Friday Resultc During the day, downWavn parldng demand with the revised project would be lower than the P�8 demand with the approved project The reduced demand would result from the elimination of office space on Block 2 with the revised projxt In the evening, the pazldng demands would be very similar. The approved projxt was projectedto have paridng deficits occ�aring during three one-hour ptriods on Fridays. A peak hourly parldng deficit of 263 spaces was projected to occur around 1:00 PM. The revised project is projected to have parking deficits during thtee one-hour periods with the 315-space and tiie 550-space alternatives. With the 315-space altemative, a peak houdy parldng deficit of 358 spaces is projected to occur at 1:00 PM. With the 550-space altemative, a peak houdy deficit of 123 spaces is projected to occur at 1:00 PM. No pazldng deficits an projected to occur with the 690-space altemabve. Saturday Resulu - Pazidng surpluses are projected to occur during Saturday condiNons for both the approved and the revised projecu, under all three parlang ypace alternarives. Analvsis Usin¢ Uadated Parkin¢ Demand Estimates An updated pazking impact analysis wu completed to reflect changes in parlring demand that have evolved in downtown Redwood City between the time the origina] pazldng analysis data collec6on effort was completed, in 2000, and the present time. Pazlang surveys were conducted on three Fridays in April 2002 to measure the current parldng demand in downtown Redwood City. The updated survey results were used to evaluate cuirent Friday pazldng condirions for the revised project. (Saturday conditions were not revisited, since lazge pazldng surpluses are projected with no Saturday parldng impacts.) In conjunction with this revised demand estimate, the pazldng supply esrimate was revised to include only public parking spaces (both onstreet and offstreet) owned by the City of Redwood City; no spaces owned by other public agencies, such as Caltrain, SamTrans, or the County of San Mateo, or private spaces are assumed to be available 5 This inventory is more conservative than the one used in the original approach because it assumes that fewer spaces are available. ° The number of parking spaces should exceed the parking demend to minimiu traffic ciroulation caused b o le y pe p trying to find the empty spaces during peak periods. 5 Information about the number of spaces in lots owned by other public agencia and private lots is included in this appendix for completrness, but those spaces are not included in the pazldng impec[ analysis.
