Dear Mr. RumpE
Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. has undertaken a shared parking analysis for
the Shoppes of Boynton located in the northeast comer of Gateway Boulevard
and Congress Avenue in the City of Boynton Beach Florida. The site is bisected
by Quantum Boulevard into north and south parcels. The north side of the site
contains an existing 2000 seat cinema and a 4,185 square foot fast food
restaurant. The south parcel includes 142,292 square feet of existing commercial
retail and a 6,000 square foot Chili's restaurant. The proposed redevelopment
plan for the site consists of replacing the cinema with a 43,000 square foot LA
Fitness Center and future expansion of 34,000 square feet of additional retail
uses.
Gross Parking Demand Evaluation
Application of the Palm Beach County Code parking requirements to this
proposed plan results in a parking supply requirement of 1113 parking spaces. As
shown on the site plan 1,066 parking spaces are Currently provided. This results
in a 47 parking space shortfall. Since the proposed redevelopment is to contain
land uses which have different time-of-day parking demand characteristics, an
evaluation was undertaken to determine the extent to which parking supply may
be shared between the various uses. This analysis assumes that all uses are built
to their proposed size and are fully occupied.
Shared Parking Analysis
Shared parking analyses are typically based upon the methodology developed by
the Urban Land Institute (ULI). The ULI Shared Parking report contains parking
accumulation percentages by time of day for a number of different types of land

uses which have shared parking ~ potential. For purposes of this analysis, it is
assumed that the peak demands for all uses occur during the same season of the
year. No discounts or reductions have been assumed for seasonal variations in
demand throughout the year. This assumption represents a conservative
approach.
One of the uses within the shopping center is expected to have specific time-of-
day parking demand variations that do not match any of the general categories
provided in the ULI Shared Parking report. This use is the proposed fitness
center. Specific information regarding this use was therefore obtained and
applied to the analysis. For the gym use, parking demand observations that were
collected at an L.A. Fitness facility in Montclair, California in April 1994 were
used. Table 4 summarizes the data that were collected on a Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at the facility. To determine weekday demand
percentages, the highest demand observed over the three weekdays was selected
as the 100% baseline for parking occupancy. The highest of the three
observations for each of the other time periods was then determined and
compared to the 100% baseline in order to determine an appropriate time-of-day
percentage. Demand for the other time periods during the day during which data
were not collected was extrapolated from this data. For the Saturday
observations, the highest observation was selected as the 100% occupancy
baseline and the other observations were compared to it to determine a time-of-
day distribution. The demand percentages for the fitness center use that is shown
in Tables 2 and 3 were therefore derived from these calculations.
For the rest of the uses on the site, the Chili's restaurant use was combined with
Pollo Tropical restaurant to represent restaurant uses on the site in addition to the
remaining Uses of general retail. The application of the hourly accumulation
percentages of the weekday peak hour demand for each land use is summarized
in Table 2. As can be seen in the table, the peak expected weekday shared
parking demand is 1007 parking spaces which occurs at 7:00 p.m. -On Saturdays,
the peak expected de/rand is 1024 parking spaces which c~curs' at 2:00 p.m., as
shown in Table 3.
The Shoppes of Boynton currently includes a total of 1066 parking spaces on the
proposed site development plan. Based on a future peak expected demand of
1024 parking spaces, the site is expected to have a surplus of 42 parking spaces.
Conclusion
The foregoing analysis shows that the parking supply provided on the site is
expected to adequately accommodate the parking demand with the proPosed plan
of redevelopment. It should be noted that the required buffer of an additional
