Trip counts in and out of the facility are counted as vehicles which access the facility through its one driveway on US 60/Grand Ave. Inventory of Existing Parking Facilities Currently the existing site is an undeveloped lot with no parking spaces. The existing roadway does not have available on-street parking, and there are no shared parking spaces between the proposed site and any of the surrounding properties. Proposed Development and Parking Facilities As seen in Figure 2, plans for the site call for a three-story “Mini-Warehouse” storage facility with a total square footage of 103,500 sf. There are no other buildings planned for the site. There is a total of twenty-one (21) planned parking spaces, two (2) of which are handicapped, and four (4) loading bays with a turnaround at the rear of the property. Figure 2: Proposed Site Development City of Glendale, AZ Parking Requirements From Section 7.403 of the Glendale Code of Ordinances (See Table 1 in Appendix), the proposed storage facility falls under the “Manufacturing/Assembly Wholesale/Warehouse” category which has a minimum parking requirement of one (1) space per 600 square feet and a maximum parking requirement of one (1) space per every 300 square feet. These requirements give the following totals for a Warehouse with 103,500 square feet: • Minimum: 173 Parking Spaces • Maximum: 345 Parking Spaces ITE Parking Demand Calculations As can be seen, the required minimum for a warehouse in Glendale, AZ far exceeds the proposed development’s parking. However, this site justifies a parking demand study by means of the ITE Parking Manual. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) provides a Parking Generation Manual which breaks down Parking Demand based on prescribed Land Use. In the case of a mini- warehouse, it is Land Use 151. For Land Use 151, there are three ways to calculate the parking demand: total storage units, gross floor area, or employees. In this instance, the parking demand will be calculated using the gross floor area of 103,500 sf. The given formula from the Manual (See Table 2 in Appendix) is shown below: • Weekday: P=0.07(x)+2.32 o P=Parked Vehicles o x=1,000 Gross Floor Area Calculations for the development using the previous formula are shown below: • P=0.07(103.5)+2.32 • P=7.245+2.32 • P=9.565≈10 Conclusions From the calculations, it is shown the proposed development only generates a Peak Period Parking Demand of 10 Parked Vehicles. The proposed twenty-one (21) spaces shown in Figure 2 are more than adequate to handle the calculated demand. Per the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance (March 2021) Section 1102 “Parking Regulations” Article 1102.9.1. “No Zoning Clearance shall be issued unless the required parking as indicated in this section is provided”. From this study, the case was made in favor of a Zoning Clearance since there will be twice as many proposed parking spaces as what the peak Parking Demand will be.
