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
