Parking Demand by Development Scenario Weekday, low food service/retail-high service 64 theater + 42 park + 21 food + 13 retail + 51 services = 191 shared parking spaces Weekday, high food service/retail-low service 64 theater + 42 park + 41 food + 25 retail + 29 services = 201 shared parking spaces Weekend, low food service/retail-high service @ 25% 90 theater + 42 park + 21 food + 13 retail + 13 services = 179 shared parking spaces Weekend, high food service/retail-low service@ 25% 90 theater + 42 park + 41 food + 25 retail + 8 services = 206 shared parking spaces

Estimate is based on observation of Cary playgrounds at Kids Together, North Cary and MacDonald Woods parks.

Due to limited data no reductions for other modes or linked trips are proposed.

High turnover food service calculated at 13 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. Parking demand for these types of

food services are lower than for fast food establishments but higher than for sit down restaurants.

Specialty retail calculated at 3 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. Parking demand for these types of small retail uses is lower than that for convenience retail, large destination retail or shopping centers with a supermarket or discount store anchor. Offices, services and studios calculated at 3 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet
