BACKGROUND During the past year, the City Council's Downtown Subcommittee has been meeting regularly with Downtown stakeholders, and the availability of parking has been a frequent topic of conversation. These conversations led to an update of the 2001 site analysis for a Downtown parking structure, and on February 14,2007 the Redevelopment Agency Board approved a conceptual financing plan and authorized staff to proceed with planning for a parking garage on the surface lots on the south side of Miller A venue. Staff subsequently retained Walker Parking Consultants and Group 4 Architecture + Planning to develop concept plans evaluating various site concepts and use mixes within a garage. These concept plans were reviewed by the Downtown Subcommittee on May 16,2007. The Subcommittee determined that a garage with ground floor commercial space is the preferred concept and directed staff to develop an additional concept by adding a floor of parking above the commercial/parking garage option. DISCUSSION The purpose of this Study Session is to narrow the scope of the project and develop a project description with sufficient specificity to permit environmental review. To that end, Walker Parking Consultants and Group 4 have developed three "Site Concepts" and five "Garage Concepts" for Council's consideration. Site Concepts are variations on pedestrian access routes, and Garage Concepts are variations on the mix of uses within the structure. The schemes are interchangeable, that is, any site concept can be used with any garage concept. Site Concepts Three Site Concepts present three different means of access to the garage by pedestrians. Concept A provides no formal direct access to Grand A venue, requiring garage patrons to walk down Fourth Lane to either Miller or Linden A venues to reach Grand Avenue. Concept B would convert the existing private Staff Report Subject: (Study Session: Downtown Parking Garage Concepts) June 4, 2007 Page 2 of 3 surface parking lot at U.S. Bank into a pedestrian walkway, and replace U.S. Bank's parking with spaces within the parking garage. Concept C would have the City acquire one of the buildings along Grand Avenue and incorporate a pedestrian connection through demolition of a building, with potential for redevelopment of any area not needed for the walkway. The Pang Kee Market building (356 Grand) is shown as a representative example of how this concept could be executed with any of the proximate properties along Grand A venue. Garage Concepts Garage Concepts lA and lB are both single-use, parking only configurations. They differ only in that lB utilizes "tuck-under" parking by excavating into the high side of the site. Concept 2A and 2B introduce commercial space into the first floor of the garage. As mentioned above, option 2B was developed at the Downtown Subcommittee's direction, and adds an additional floor of parking. Concept 3 places two floors of residential above parking. Analysis The Downtown Subcommittee recommends, and staff concurs, that either Concept B 1 or B2 should be the preferred concept. These options add a net 184 or 248 spaces, respectively, to the existing 856 spaces Downtown. The inclusion of commercial space along the Miller Avenue frontage is consistent with the policies of the General Plan, which has designated both sides of Miller along this block for commercial use on ground floors. As the first significant commercial development along this block of Miller, the project could serve as a catalyst for future commercial development in the area, and the location of commercial space immediately adjacent to ample parking would enhance its marketability. Additionally, lining the proposed parking structure with active commercial space fosters a more pleasant pedestrian experience and adds visual interest to the structure. For this reason, ground floor commercial space is widely considered an urban design "best practice" for downtown parking structures. The commercial space option also provides a potential solution for the City's space needs, since the Parking District's meter shop could be relocated from the building behind City Hall to a small portion of the parking garage. This space could also be shared by the Downtown bike patrol officers, parking enforcement officers, or used to provide the public with information on parking policies, permits and Downtown businesses. These options for the commercial space can be evaluated further through the design process. The preferred concept may be used with any of the site configurations described above. Staff plans to explore these options further through additional meetings with adjacent property owners. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Downtown Subcommittee's recommendation to direct staff to proceed with planning and design of a mixed-use parking structure including ground floor commercial space.
