It is the largest city in Williamson County, which also ranks among the fastest growing areas in the United States in terms of both population and employment. The 2000 census reported the population of Round Rock at over 61,000 residents — up from only 3,000 in 1970, 13,000 in 1980, and 32,000 in 1990. While population was nearly doubling during the 1990s, in physical terms the city more than quadrupled in size during this period. It is estimated that another 20,000 or more people live in areas just outside the city. Even with this growth explosion, downtown Round Rock remains the community's valued center, with a historic core of restored buildings dating back to the 1880s. Downtown also remains the seat of many government functions, meaning that people come here for their employment, to visit various city departments, to go to Municipal Court, to pay utility bills, to visit the library, and to attend City Council and other public meetings. As in many Texas cities, downtown Round Rock is the focus of renewed attention and investment from both the public and private sectors. Growth away from the center of town and the proliferation of national chain stores and restaurants means that, in order to remain vital and attractive, downtown must be competitive in terms of convenience, amenities, and shopping and service options in a safe and appealing setting. Access and parking are key factors in this competitive equation, both in reality and in the perceptions of visitors to downtown. Conflicts between office and retail parking demand are a primary concern in Round Rock as in many other city centers. STUDY PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The downtown parking study resulted from an overall Downtown Initiatives Strategy involving various projects which the City of Round Rock was either leading or supporting. In addition to the parking issue, these coordinated initiatives were to include: • Capital Improvements Program; • City Facilities Design Plan; • Parks /trails improvements; • New City library; • Sidewalk improvements; • Communications outreach; and, • Business support and community improvements with the Chamber of Commerce. This study is intended to help the City plan for ways to alleviate current and future parking problems in the downtown and surrounding areas. The parking study was the second - highest priority in two of the three "Strategy Areas" into which the downtown area was divided for the Round Rock Downtown Parking Study & Plan Page 1 -1 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES Downtown Initiatives effort. As described within the Initiatives Strategy, the reason for conducting a downtown parking study was to: Develop a plan to meet existing and future parking demands in downtown, and to identify future parking solutions, public - private partnerships, and funding strategies. In addition to helping the City enhance its parking management options and capabilities, alleviation of parking problems will bolster the attractiveness of downtown for commerce and as a visitor destination. This study addresses several important issues including: • Feasibility of a new parking garage downtown; • Feasibility of developing a public - private partnership for sharing parking facilities; • Impacts and policies related to enforcement; • Adequacy of the city's parking standards; and, • Costs of additional parking and existing and future operations, Introduction STUDY AREA The study area is bounded by Anderson Street on the north, Lewis Street on the east, the railroad tracks on the south, and Interstate Highway 35 on the west. Figure 1 shows the Study Area including the Central Business District and the Historic Downtown area of Round Rock. Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 1-2 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES MN r 011 I- I M N E- N M NM MN M r■ r- s Chapter 2 Parking Utilization 1 1 Chapter 2 ' PARKING UTILIZATION The characteristics of parking patrons utilizing available parking spaces are some of the most ' important parameters in developing a parking management program. Many factors affect the selection of a parking space including the user's trip purpose, location of available spaces, intended parking duration, applicable parking restrictions, traffic access, and parking fees. Understanding parking characteristics provides a factual basis for planning and policy decisions. During the months of May and June 2000, field data were collected to capture parking patterns in ' the study area. The inventory results provide information on the location, type of parking (on- street, off - street lots, and garages), type of use ( "public" or "private "), use restrictions, cost, and other pertinent factors. ' This data can be analyzed to determine the overall occupancy of parking spaces in the study area, the turnover of parking spaces (i.e., the number of vehicles per day that make use of existing parking spaces), and the duration of occupancy of the various parking space types in downtown Round Rock. DATA COLLECTION AND METHODOLOGY The data collected were a sampling of parking spaces representative of the entire supply of t parking in the study area. Both public and private spaces were monitored. All of the data were collected manually by consultant staff. To determine occupancy and turnover of the off - street parking facilities, hourly notations were made as to whether or not a space was occupied by a ' vehicle. To determine turnover and duration of the parkers using the metered on- street spaces, the last four digits of a vehicle's license plate were recorded on an hourly basis to determine how many vehicles occupied a given space and for how long each vehicle was parked. 1 INVENTORY OF PARKING SUPPLY An inventory of the available parking identified a total of 1,831 parking spaces existing in the ' study area, as shown in Figure 2. A summary of all parking spaces by type is listed in Table 1. The inventoried parking supply includes 595 on- street parking spaces (32.5 percent), and 1,236 off - street parking spaces (67.5 percent). Single - family residential parking is excluded from the inventory. Of the available parking supply, several parking facilities were surveyed for parking analyses and include: ' • On- street parking along Main Street; • On- street parking along Lampasas; • On- street parking along Shepherd; ' • Library parking lot; • City garage; and, • Baptist Church parking lot. 1 Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 2 -1 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES OM O — — — — — E — — — — — — — = MOM MI LEGEND 1 Study Area Boundary Study Block 10 Study Block Number re Number of Parking Spaces I Surface Parking On- Street Parking Garage Parking Informal Parking ADA Spaces 2 -Hour Parking Zone CH Fudge Joint Parking 71 Future Private Parking 100 0 100 000 Ftl Figure 2 Available Parking Supply City of Round Rock Parking Study Round Rock, Texas Wilbur Smith Associates Table 1 Stud Area Parkin S • ace Invento On- Street Parking- Public * 2 -hour Limit 83 4.5% No Time Limit 512 28.1% 7 rtal r St .ee fPar ng 'x 4 595_ 32.5° Off - Street Parking- Public Surface Lots Garages Informal Off Street Parking- Private Surface Lots Informal 44 191 5 948 48 2.4% 10.4% 0.3% 51.8% 2.6% *On -Street parking includes the median parking along Main Street. SOURCE: Parking inventory by Wilbur Smith Associates in May 2000. Parking Utilization Public -Use Parking Public parking in the study area consists of on -street parking and off - street parking, of which there are a total of 835 public -use parking spaces (45.6 percent of total parking spaces) available for use by the general public. In the study area, there are 595 public on- street parking spaces (32.5 percent of the total parking spaces in the study area). Additionally, there are 240 public off -street parking spaces including 26 spaces at the public library and the 192 spaces in the City's parking garage (13.1 percent of the total parking spaces). Private - Use Parking The number of spaces in private parking surface lots in the study area was determined to be 948 spaces (51.89 percent of the total parking spaces). These spaces are reserved for use by workers or customers of specific businesses or employers. Approximately 213 parking spaces in the Baptist Church parking lot can potentially be utilized by the public on weekdays during business hours and/or by employees of the elementary and middle schools located in the area. PARKING SUPPLY STANDARDS In general, the minimum parking requirements specified in the city's parking code are reasonable and in line with industry standards and requirements in other North American communities. Table 2 presents a summary of selected current Round Rock parking supply standards compared with industry - accepted (primarily Institute of Transportation Engineers) parking supply standards. When viewing Table 2, it should be noted that industry values are, in many cases, based on a limited number of studies. (Also note that the 85th percentile represents one standard deviation from the mean and design value is ten percent more than the 85th percentile.) Many of Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 2 -2 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES the standard land uses studied had a wide range of parking values. Even though some of the Round Rock values are different from the 85th percentile industry values, they are often well within the range found in parking studies.

Every land use generates the need for parking. Certain land uses, such as restaurants, generate a considerable need for parking during peak periods (usually lunch time and evening). Other land uses, such as warehouse and storage, have a fairly low demand for parking during business hours, and minimal demand during evening when restaurant needs, for example, may be high. The type and amount of land uses, along with the land use mix in an area, are key determinants in assessing the demand for parking. Land uses that are the generators of parking demands within the study area were identified based on the type of use, total floor area, and estimated occupancy rates. Existing land uses are categorized by appropriate classifications such as residential, commercial retail, office, warehouse /distribution, and industrial uses. Existing land use data available from the Travis County Central Appraisal District and City of Round Rock staff were utilized to identify the existing total floor area for each type of land use for blocks within the downtown study area. The existing year 2000 land uses in the study area are shown in Figure 3. In addition, there is construction activity (e.g., a new City Hall facility) that will add to the developed square footage in the study area. In total, the study area includes slightly more than four million square feet of development. Commercial and residential developments dominate the study area, with each accounting for approximately 1.1 million sq. ft. (2.2 million sq. ft. total). Vacant and school land uses make up the other significant study area land uses and are approximately 744,000 sq. ft. and 620,000 sq. ft., respectively. PARKING UTILIZATION Parking utilization was determined by conducting parking accumulation and occupancy counts of selected public off - street parking facilities and curb spaces representative of the various types and locations of public on- street and off - street supply within the study area. Interviews were also conducted with selected parkers utilizing typical public curb and off - street spaces, to identify the origins, primary destinations, principal trip purposes, and parking duration. A total of 15 representative parking facilities was selected to be surveyed, including 12 curb /median parking locations, two off - street parking lots and the City's parking garage. The surveyed parking facility locations in the study area are shown in Figure 4. The utilization counts for the selected facilities were performed by observing the accumulation of parked vehicles at hourly intervals between 10:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. on a typical weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Turnover counts of entering and exiting vehicles were also conducted at several typical public on- street and public /private off - street facilities to determine the average parking duration and turnover of spaces. Occupancy of parking spaces at approximate hourly intervals was documented as part of the survey.

The accumulation patterns from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. for on- street parking and off - street surface lot and garage parking in the study area is displayed in Figure 5. Accumulation data is useful for analyzing the utilization of parking facilities. Comparison of the accumulation of parked vehicles to the available supply of parking spaces throughout the day indicates the variation in parking occupancy during a typical weekday. It is important to note that the effective capacity of a parking facility or a set of on- street spaces is somewhat less than the actual number of existing spaces. Because of turnover and the coming and going of parkers, a certain number of spaces is usually unoccupied and available to those "hunting" for spaces. Otherwise, a fully occupied facility could not accommodate any additional parkers seeking vacant spaces and would become congested with vehicles waiting for parking spaces. Other factors such as improperly parked vehicles taking up more than one space may also reduce the true capacity. Based on typical parking turnover patterns, the effective capacity of on- street spaces is considered to be approximately 90 percent of the actual total. For off - street lots and garages, the effective capacity is considered to be approximately 85 and 80 percent of the total number of spaces, respectively. As shown in Figure 5, the peak utilization of on- street parking in the study area occurs in the late morning at about 11:00 A.M. on a typical weekday. At this peak time, 85 percent of the total on- street supply of 134 spaces is occupied by 114 vehicles. More importantly, 94 percent of the effective on- street parking supply (121 spaces) is occupied at the 11:00 A.M. peak. Demand for on- street parking is already high at 10:00 A.M. (90 percent of effective capacity) and remains in this range through noon before dropping to 86 percent of the effective capacity at 1:00 P.M. After the 1:00 P.M. dip in demand, the demand returns to the morning level (93 percent) at 2:00 P.M. before beginning a steady decline to 43 percent of the effective supply of on- street parking at 5:00 P.M.

The parking inventory documented 287 parking spaces in surface lots and the garage, with an effective capacity of 234 spaces. During the peak period, only 78 percent of the effective surface lot and parking garage spaces (184 spaces) are occupied at 11:00 A.M.. This is a slight increase in the parking utilization from 76 percent of the effective capacity at 10:00 A.M. After the peak at 11:00 A.M, the demand drops to 64 percent by 1:00 P.M. The accumulation in the surface lots and parking garage increases to 75 percent of effective supply at 3:00, then drops to 38 percent by 6:00. Parking Space Turnover and Duration Turnover and duration are useful measures in determining parking characteristics of the study area, especially for short -term parking. Turnover is the number of vehicles parked per space in a given area for a specific time frame. It is often expressed as an hourly rate or a daily rate. A high turnover rate signifies that many different patrons are using the parking spaces throughout the measured period. Duration is the average time each vehicle remains parked and is a measure of parking purpose. While turnover and duration tend to be inversely related, turnover also tends to be somewhat higher when occupancy rates are higher, while duration is not related directly to occupancy rates. Turnover is a measure of parking intensity. Turnover for each type of parking (on- street, surface lots and garages) was determined by analysis of data for selected facilities from the parking utilization surveys. The average 8 -hour turnover (10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.) for the types of parking is listed in Table 3.

Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Parking Utilization Page 2-8 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES By recording partial license plate numbers on an hourly basis, as explained above under the discussion of methodology, tumover and duration could be calculated for the on- street spaces, while turnover of the off - street parking facilities was determined using the hourly occupancy counts. The inventoried spaces were selected to be representative of the entire study area. The surveyed on- street spaces with two -hour meters had an average turnover rate of 5.7 vehicles per space and a duration of 2.1 hours per space. The un -timed on- street parking spaces had a turnover of 5.6 vehicles per space and duration of 4.1 hours per space. The total surveyed on- street parking facilities had a tumover of 5.7 vehicles per space and duration of 3.1 hours per space. Off - street spaces in surface lots had a turnover rate of 6.8 parkers per day for public lot spaces and 3.3 in private lots. Parking garage spaces had an average turnover of 5.3 parkers per day. The total off - street parking turnover is 5.1 parkers per day. The turnover determined for the 2 -hour time limit parking spaces is approximately the same as the turnover for the spaces without a time limit. Additionally, the duration determined for the 2 -hour time limit parking spaces is greater than the 2 -hour permitted time allowance. MAJOR GENERATORS Facilities that are the major generators of parking demands within the study area are identified in Figure 6 including City, State and private buildings and facilities. Major parking generators include the following buildings and facilities: • Berkman Elementary School • C.D. Fulkes Middle School • First Baptist Church • Round Rock Public Library • Office building • Senior Center • City Hall • Planned Municipal Office Complex Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Parking Utilization The two schools and First Baptist Church are located in the northwest part of the study area, while the Round Rock Public Library, a private office building, the senior citizen center, and the City Hall Complex are located in the Historic District in the southeast part of the study area. The planned Municipal Office Complex is shown in the southwest portion of the study area.

Parking needs depend on the magnitude of parking demand generated by employees, visitors, shoppers and residents; the proportion of trips made by automobile versus other modes of transportation; the extent of a captive- market environment; and the parking supply available to accommodate the demand. Parking occupancy levels are not synonymous with parking demand. Parking occupancy is simply an indicator of how the existing parking supply is utilized. Parking demand, on the other hand, indicates how many patrons would like to park at a given location and time if there were sufficient supply. If spaces are not available nearby, people will park at a distance, use 1 transit/bicycle as an alternative, conduct business elsewhere, or forego the trip entirely. Parking policy can influence parking demand. Strictly enforcing parking limits can increase tumover making more parking available during a given time period. Charges for parking, and the rate structure utilized, can also have an impact on a person's willingness to drive and park. Managing the balance between parking demand and parking supply can be very complex. Supplying enough spaces to accommodate peak parking demand could result in a surplus of parking during non -peak periods. Since construction of parking facilities is an expensive proposition, parking demand needs to be carefully scrutinized. 1 PARKING DEMANDS The approach used to determine existing parking demand in the Round Rock study area had multiple steps. The first step involved assessing the city inventory of land uses and summarizing these in fairly homogeneous categories. This resulted in the land use groupings shown in Figure 3 in Chapter 2. Single - family residential parking demands are excluded since they are typically satisfied by on -site parking in private garages, carports, and driveways. Next, the peak parking generation rates for each land use were determined from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) publication, Parking Generation. The existing parking demands for each city block were calculated based on the gross floor area of the buildings located on each block, as shown in Figure 7. The total parking demands for the study area are estimated at 1,250 parking spaces. PARKING SURPLUSES AND DEFICIENCIES Parking needs were determined by assessing supply -demand and evaluating parking patterns and habits. To calculate parking needs, block -by -block and sector -level analyses were made of the supply and demand for parking spaces. Parking surpluses or deficiencies by block and sector were determined by comparing the parking supply to demands. A geographic information system (GIS) model of parking supply and demands was developed and used for this analysis. When analyzing parking needs, supply deficiencies in one block may be offset somewhat or even satisfied by surpluses in nearby blocks within an acceptable walking distance. Therefore, parking Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 3-1 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES ow r. p MI / In N N 41111 NI NO all IN 111111 S ME M Mk 1 i ii i, . \__----- IAA' s' l — , • ' l, ✓ . = \ j LEGEND Stilly Area Boondry F Study Area Block 10 Study Block Number 10 Parking Demand by Block S00106 wmm Smith Amazes 100 0 700 ZO F® Figure 7 Parking Demands by Block City of Round Rock Parking Study Round Rock, Texas wabr Smith Assocites War- SO L9 01 1019 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 a 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 Parking Supply and Demand Analysis supply and demand were also analyzed at the sector level. Sectors were delineated based on walling distance, pedestrian safety, and complementary land uses. An example of how pedestrian safety was accounted for in the delineation of sectors is Mays. The probability of someone parking west of Mays to access a land use on the east side is very unlikely. Additionally, complementary land uses includes land uses near each other which are likely to be included in the same trip. Parking surpluses and deficiencies at the block level and sector level are illustrated in Figures 8 and 9, respectively. The core portion of the downtown area has a deficiency of approximately 75 parking spaces, which represents a need for 88 spaces considering 85 percent effective capacity. The parking problem in downtown Round Rock appears to be more one of location and availability of short-term parking in on- street locations rather than an overall parking deficiency. On a sector level, all four sectors of downtown have a parking surplus, but the available spaces are not necessarily located within a convenient walking distance of major destinations. The planned Municipal Office Complex will impact the future parking supply and demands on the west side of downtown. Parking included in the Complex will serve the generated parking demands for the planned facility, as well as providing parking to serve some of the demands for uses in the surrounding area.

To meet the peak needs in the core downtown area, additional spaces are required or other measures must be taken to mitigate the deficiency. • The peak time period for parking is on weekdays between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. Much of the parking demand is for long -term parking as shown by the low turnover and long parking durations. • The demand for parking is not uniform throughout the study area — some blocks have deficiencies and other blocks have surpluses. The four sectors of the study area all have a surplus of parking, but the excess parking supply is not necessarily located in areas within a convenient walking distance of major destinations. Moreover, in the Historic Downtown area alone, there is a deficiency of 75 spaces when summing the deficiencies of four blocks in the core area along E. Main Street. • Time limited parking spaces along Main Street are controlled by tire marking. • The current 2 -hour time limit for the on- street parking spaces along Main Street is not effectively enforced. Turnover on these parking spaces is similar to that of the on- street spaces without a time limit as well as the public surface and garage spaces. PARKING MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The data collected and analysis performed yielded considerable insight regarding parking conditions in Round Rock. In the preceding chapters, discussion centered on describing the findings of the study and explaining their relevance to real and perceived parking problems. This chapter consolidates the results of the study by outlining some recommendations for improving the current and future parking situation in Round Rock. The options for improvement of parking in Downtown Round Rock generally fall into three categories: 1. Capital improvements, namely the construction of additional parking in Downtown; 2. Parking demand management measures, such as strategies to encourage use of alternative modes for access to downtown; and, 3. Other transportation management solutions that make better utilization of existing facilities and rights -of -way. Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 4 -1 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES t 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Recommendations Figure 10 provides a visual summary of the action strategies outlined in this chapter. The recommendations should be viewed as guidelines for future parking development and management. There is no one solution for improving parking; many elements should be considered and programs implemented to meet parking needs. Moreover, there are many approaches the city could take in solving parking problems. Some of these are dependent on policy (e.g., the amount of parking the city wishes to provide in downtown versus encouraging alternative modes of travel) and other potential strategies are dependent on costs and availability of funding. ADDITIONAL PARKING SUPPLY There is demand for additional parking in the downtown area, specifically along Main Street. Although the city should be pursuing courses of action to encourage alternative modes of transportation, the parking deficiency in downtown needs to be addressed with some additional parking supply. Surface Parking Development It is recommended that the city continue the construction of the off - street parking lot on the corner of Liberty and Sheppard as an early course of action to alleviate the parking deficiency in this area. Future parking development is recommended to create additional surface parking facilities within a convenient walking distance (1 -2 blocks) of major destinations on East and West Main Street and the adjacent commercial areas. For example, vacant land at the southwest corner of Lampasas and Liberty may afford the opportunity for acquisition and construction of additional public off - street parking. Existing informal parking areas located along the alleyways in the blocks on either side of Main Street present the opportunity for development of additional off - street parking by property owners. Cooperative arrangements for consolidating and improving these informal parking areas — including paving, pavement markings, signage, lighting, and landscaping — should be encouraged and implemented to provide maximum effective utilization of these small irregular shaped areas. Joint use arrangements by several property owners in each block can result in development of a larger and more functional aggregation of off - street parking spaces. Structured Parking Development Additional parking garages should be developed in the future to serve the major parking generators in downtown Round Rock. The planned Municipal Office Complex to be developed on the west side of Downtown will provide the opportunity for development of an additional municipal parking garage on the west side of Mays Street to serve both governmental and commercial parking demands and needs. Parking Supply /Demand Tradeoffs Decisions on whether to build additional parking facilities or provide users with alternatives to parking in CBD locations can be made as a matter of policy or on the basis of costs versus benefits. Costs for construction and development of parking facilities vary by type of facility Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 4 -2 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES or ,» in — so ma as 1 — - mow w — 1111 — — lid - — i 1 tm 0 IX 200 Fad Figure 10 Parking Recommendations City of Round Rock Parking Study Round Rock, Texas j LEGEND i r L Study Ansa Boaralszy 10 Study Block Number 6>staO Pedestd®lmproveroents Atha Cwt New Facilities Surface Robing On -Sheet Parking Perking age Improve Cage Amenities & Sigoage I= Install Perking Oates Q Establish SharedParl&p Agsemeci Between Chomp and RIB Establish 2 -Hour Parking Zone I I h,stali Wayfindtog System Wimar Smith Associ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 (surface parking lot, above - ground parking structure, and underground parking structure) and land costs. Other cost elements and variables include physical amenities such as landscaping, architectural facade, specialty finishes, and pedestrian facilities (e.g., elevators); architectural and engineering fees; construction engineering and management; builder's risk; and, for facilities financed through debt, capitalized interest, debt service reserve, and legal and financial fees. These elements and variables can add 40 percent to 70 percent to the cost of facility construction. Costs for parking facility construction were investigated by type of facility and location for use in developing planning level estimates. Basic building costs for parking garages, for example, average around $35 per square foot, exclusive of land, but including civil /site work, average building finishes and amenities, and other basic items. In Round Rock, the average costs may vary and are expected to be slightly higher. The following costs were assumed to be representative of parking facility construction: Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Recommendations • Surface lot: $10 per square foot, including civil/site work and landscaping; • Above - ground parking garage (3 -5 levels): $40 per square foot, including civil /site work, landscaping, and average pedestrian amenities; and, • Underground parking: $70 per square foot. Land costs, architectural and engineering fees, construction engineering and management, and other similar costs would be in addition to these costs. Figure 11, presented on the next page, is a useful tool in determining the tradeoffs among the various types of parking facilities. The above construction costs were used in generating Figure 11. A surface lot was assumed to average 330 square feet per parking space; parking garages were assumed to average 360 square feet per parking space. Property costs have a large impact on overall parking facility costs. In areas where land is relatively inexpensive, surface parking facilities are often the most economical solution. As the cost of land goes up, above - ground parking structures tend to be more favorable solutions. As the cost of land becomes extremely expensive, underground parking facilities become economical assuming there is joint development with air rights above the parking facility. Land in Round Rock's downtown area, exclusive of Main Street, was estimated to cost approximately $12 per square foot without buildings or other similar improvements. At this cost, surface parking would be the best solution from a purely economical standpoint. However, any property that is purchased for parking will likely include buildings and other improvements that will need to be purchased and demolished. As the overall effective purchase price rises above $40 to $50 per square foot, above -ground parking garages become more economical. Regardless of the type of parking facility, providing parking is an expensive proposition. In addition to the construction costs, there is often a substantial cost to finance a parking facility. Operating and maintenance costs add to these costs on an ongoing basis.

For analysis and comparison, the cost per effective parking space eliminated by the alternative needs to be calculated. If the net present value of the alternative per effective space eliminated is lower than the cost of constructing a space, the alternative measure would be considered economically viable and effective. For example, if a measure costs $60,000 per year to implement and eliminates the need to build a 100 -space parking facility, the cost per effective space eliminated would be $600. Using a discount rate of six percent, the net present value of the $600 /space /year is $10,000. Using Figure 11, if property costs more than approximately $20 per square foot, the measure would be more economical than building the facility. DOWNTOWN WAYFINDING AND PARKING SIGNAGE SYSTEM A unified design for a downtown wayfinding system should be developed and implemented to provide improved directional signage for motorists and pedestrians in Downtown Round Rock. Wayfinding is the means of providing graphic information that will aid travelers in determining the possible destinations and opportunities in a destination area, determining confidently the route to reach chosen destinations, and enhancing the ability to orient and locate oneself within a space, whether in a building or site. Examples of wayfinding systems are shown in Figure 12. An attractive, recognizable and unique theme for Downtown Round Rock should be utilized for development of the wayfinding system graphics and signage. On- street signage should direct Round Rock Downtown Parking Study and Plan Page 4 -4 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 l • 1 1 1 motorists to available parking facilities and pedestrians to their downtown destinations once they arrive at their parking location. Available parking locations in Downtown Round Rock should be publicized through parking brochures and maps distributed to customers, visitors and workers at popular attractions and public places in the Downtown area.

It is recommended that enforcement of the area parking spaces become stricter. Stricter enforcement will increase the turnover of parking spaces in the area and make spaces available for other parkers destined for the area. PARKING FINES It is recommended that the current parking fine structure be evaluated and modified to better deter violators from parking beyond the maximum time allotted. Due to the close proximity of Round Rock to Austin, the parking fine structure for Round Rock could be similar to that of Page 4 -5 WILBUR SMITH ASSOCIATES 1 1 1 1 1 r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Recommendations Austin. An increased fine structure will help achieve better compliance with parking regulations. In addition, it will generate additional funds that can be applied to city programs.

Page 15 of 18 Task 3 Deliverable: - The Consultant will submit a technical memorandum presenting the results of the parking inventory and utilization survey. Task 4 — Existing Land Uses and Major Generators of Parking Demand Existing land uses which constitute the major generators of parking demands within the study area will be identified by the Consultant based on the type of use, total floor area, and estimated occupancy rates. Existing land uses will be categorized by appropriate classifications such as residential, commercial retail, office, warehouse /distribution, and industrial uses. Existing land use data available from the City will be used to identify the existing total floor area for each type of land use for blocks within the study area. Other existing land use information available from the City will also be considered and utilized as appropriate. Generated parking demands will be estimated for each block based upon the following sources: • Parking indices contained in the ITE Parking Generation manual; • Parking utilization data obtained from the parking surveys conducted in the study area; • Other accepted sources used in the parking and traffic consultinging practice. Facilities that are the major generators of parking demands within the downtown study area will be identified, including public, and privately owned buildings and facilities. Task 4 Deliverable: - The Consultant will submit a technical memorandum documenting the identification of existing land uses and major parking generators. Task 5 — Parking Supply and Demand Analysis Parking surplus, deficiencies and needs will be determined for each block in the study area.

The study area will be divided into sectors based upon identifiable boundaries. The surpluses and deficiencies for each sector will be presented in the form of a bar chart map to be provided to the City. The map will show available supply, existing demands, and the resulting surpluses or deficiencies. Existing parking needs for each block and sector will be determined form this information. For use in analyzing future changes in parking supply and demands, a five -year listing of anticipated development activity will be compiled to identify known plans for future land use changes and associated parking development. This listing will be based upon available information provided by the City about known or planned new construction, major remodeling and renovation projects, and land use and development plans, with allowances for other unidentified changes in land use during the projected five -year period. Task 5 Deliverable: The Consultant will submit a technical memorandum presenting the results of the parking supply /demand analysis.
