The parking analysis has established a parking demand rate, based on actual parking surveys at another clinic operated by the project applicant. The identified demand rate was then applied to the proposed Dublin site. 1. Parking Surveys at an Existing Veterinarv Clinic Facility In order to establish a parking demand for the proposed facility, parking surveys were conducted at a similar facility (operated by the applicant) in the City of Campbell. The parking surveys were conducted on Tuesday May 3rd from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. These survey hours encompass the peak hours of clinic activity. The attached data includes detailed parking survey results (recorded every 30 minutes) As noted in the surveys, the existing Campbell veterinary clinic demand peaked at 2:00 p.m. with 37 parked vehicles. The Campbell facility is located at one end ora multi- tenant building with a shared parking field. Although the parking areas for each tenant are relatively well defined and separated from each other, it is possible that a few (up to five) parked cars counted in the survey were not associated with the veterinary facility. Thus, the peak parking demand could range from 32 to 37 occupied spaces. The Campbell facility's total floor area is 16,000 square feet. Of the total, 3,000 sq. ft. consists of an emergency services area which does not generate regular parking demand. Based on 13,000 sq. ft. of active floor area and a maximum parking demand of 37 spaces, the calculated parking demand equates to 2.85 spaces/l,OOO sq.ft. 2. Parking Demand Calculation for the Proposed Dublin Facility Based on information provided by the applicant and the City, the proposed Dublin facility would encompass a total of 16,716 sq.ft. However, approximately 1,700 sq.ft. would be Attachment 4 1901 Olympic Boulevorci. Suite 120 . Walnut Creek, '~A 94596.

These areas would not generate parking demand during the day. Daily parking demand would be generated by the treatment areas and office space which comprise approximately 11,000 sq.ft. Applying the calculated peak parking demand rate of 2.85 spaces/l,OOO sq.ft. to the proposed facility's 11,000 sq .ft. of working space results in a maximum parking demand of31 spaces. It is noted, however, that the number of employees is expected to increase from 10 to approximately 15 in a few years. A staff of 15 would equal the current employee level at the Campbell facility and the Campbell facility had an observed parking demand of32-37 cars. Therefore, the eventual parking demand at the Dublin facility could be similar to Camp bell's due to the similar staff sizes. Based on the submitted information, a minimum of 37 parking spaces would be provided at the Dublin veterinary location. 3. Conclusions The parking demand for the proposed Dublin location was calculated using parking surveys of an existing facility in Campbell. Based on floor area, the observed parking demand of 32-37 spaces results in a rate of 2.85 spaces/1,OOO sq. ft. With 11,000 sq. ft. of working space at the Dublin location, the calculated demand equals 31 occupied spaces. As noted, however, the Dublin facility will eventually employ approximately the same number of people as the Campbell facility. Therefore, based on the number of . employees, the Dublin parking demand could eventually equal the observed parking demand of32-37 spaces at the Campbell facility. The Dublin facility is proposed to have a supply of 37 spaces. Based on a parking demand ranging from 31 to 37 (maximum) occupied spaces, the supply would be sufficient to accommodate daily peak parking demand. I trust that this analysis responds to your data needs. Please call me with any further questions or comments. S:~~L George W. NZ:n, P.E.
