BACKGROUND
The City’s Downtown area has seen growth in both retail and residential projects. As the Downtown continues to grow, the City Council directed staff to assess parking strategies and technologies to best utilize the Downtown’s existing parking inventory and aide in providing sufficient parking for the Downtown.

Staff contracted with Dixon Resources Unlimited (consulting firm)in 2015. City staff and the consulting firm met with the City Council Downtown Subcommittee and stakeholders on numerous occasions to review the current and future operating needs for the Downtown study area. The consulting firm conducted a parking assessment in October 2015, which was first presented to the City Council Downtown Subcommittee and later to the City Council at the May 10, 2016 City Council meeting, in 2017, the City Council requested an annual parking assessment to be conducted each year for a five-year period
Annual parking assessments began in September 2018, followed by assessments in September 2019 and November 2021. In the fall of 2020, due to COVID-19, the City decided not to move forward with data collection. In 2022, the City again collected data and conducted an analysis of parking in the downtown
The parking study findings from the November 2022 assessment were presented to the Downtown Downey Improvement Association on February 13, 2023 and to the Planning Commission on March 15, 2023. Questions and comments from the Commissioners were in regard to security and theft issues within the City’s parking structure and the implementation of the electronic parking signage approved by the City Council in 2021 With regards to the electronic parking signage, staff worked on the issue immediately after the Planning Commission meeting and the electronic parking signs are now working With regards to security and theft issues, the consultant provided some recommendations as discussed in the Analysis section below

ANALYSIS
This report provides a brief summary of the findings from the latest assessment that occurred in the fall of 2022 by the consulting firm. The attached 38-page parking assessment provides detailed information on the methodology, findings, and recommendations
For the fall 2022 assessment, data collection efforts were held on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 9 am. 12 pm, 3 pm and 6 pm, and on Saturday November 5, 2022 during the same time periods with an additional late evening observation at 8:30 PM, Data collection occurred at key locations within the downtown area as shown on the map and table on the following page:

. Dixon Resources Unlimited found the average occupancy rates were typically below the industry standard target of 85%1 throughout the day with one exception; the “Narrow Lot” at 8320 3rd Street, adjacent to the Avenue Theater. To understand how occupancy trends may have changed over time, the assessment compares the findings from all data collection efforts conducted in October 2015, September 2018, September 2019, and November 2022. In summary, the results of the November 2022 assessment are similar to previous years
Overall, the observed on-street and off-street locations have adequate parking availability and turnover at most times of the day, and there are no impacts that require urgent attention. Based on the results, the report (page 37) has a few suggestions related to parking management best practices. These suggestions include The installation of wayfinding signage to direct drivers to off-street parking lots; Possibly apply the two-hour time limit to the entire small parking lot (“Narrow Lot”) next to the Avenue Theater,
•
•
Continue with parking enforcement to encourage compliance with parking polices.

Continue to regularly collect parking data and monitor occupancy to evaluate parking management strategies and the effectiveness of changes and
In response to comments from the Planning Commission regarding security issues within the parking garage, the consultant offered the following suggestions:
• Apply a fresh coat of bright color paint to the garage structure • Keep the garage consistently clean
1 The 85% standard means 85 percent of the parking spaces of a parking lot are occupied during the day This means someone looking for a parking spot will still find an empty spot since 15% of the spaces will still be available,

• Increase the frequency of security patro
• Install security camera infrastructure
The consultant recommended against the installation of a security gate arm for entry and exit to the parking structure because of maintenance issues and so as not to inadvertently create a deterrent to the use of the parking garage. The consultant mentioned that another way to address security concerns is to increase the active usage of the garage, which could discourage bad behavior. One of the ways to increase the use of the garage is to provide wayfinding signage, including signage on Firestone Boulevard, that directs the public to the parking garage
Should Council desire to explore the above recommendations, it is recommended that staff further analyze the costs associated with the recommended actions and if an appropriation is needed, return to Council with information on said cost.

Dixon Resources unlimited was authorized to conduct annual assessments starting in 2018 for a fIve-year period. Since an assessment was not performed in 2020, the City Council may desire another assessment in the fall of 2023, which will result in a total of five assessments. The estimated cost for an assessment to be conducted in the fall of 2023 is $26,000

1.0 Executive Summary
This report presents the findings from data collection efforts held on Tuesday November 1, 2022 and Saturday November 5, 2022 at key locations within the City of Downey (City).

Occupancy and turnover data were collected for on-street and off-street locations in the downtown area. Dixon Resources Unlimited (DIXON) found the average oocupancy rates were typically below the industry standard target of 85% throughout the day with one exception (the Narrow Lot). To understand how occupancy trends may have changed over time, this study compares the findings from previous data collection efforts conducted in October 2015, September 2018, September 2019, and November 2021.

This executive summary provides high-level observations and recommendations for consideration.

1.1 Observations
None of the observed. on-street data collection areas had a daily average occupancy that exceeded the 85% target, The occupancy rates across all on-street spaces in the six observed parking locations averaged 49% across both data collection days in November 2022

1.2 Recommendations
DIXON found that the average occupancy for on-street locations was well below the industry standard of 85%, consistent with previous data collection efforts. There continues to be sufficient parking supply to meet demand overall, and there is no urgent need to address parking capacity. Off-street occupancy has remained consistent compared to previous years. Overall, the observed on-street and off-street locations have adequate parking availability and turnover at most times of the day. In order to proactively optimize parking demand management, the City should consider installing wayfinding signage to direct drivers to the parking structure and other underutilized parking facilities. By leveraging directional signage, the City can indicate an efficient route to drivers The Narrow Lot occupancy rate averaged 73% across all time periods but exceeded the 85% occupancy target during 4 of the 9 collection time periods. This is higher than the 60% average occupancy observed across all time periods in 2021. However, during the 2022 data collection, the Narrow Lot inventory decreased from 24 spaces to 15 spaces due to construction, which explains the increase in occupancY. During construction, of the 15 remaining spaces in the Narrow Lot, 6 were permit parking spaces, and the remaining 9 were two hour time-limited spaces. Frequently exceeding the 85 percent occupancy threshold is an indication that policy changes could be needed in the Narrow Lot, so the City should monitor this location once construction impacts are alleviated. If the impacted portion of the lot is expected to be unavailable long-term, the City could cons}der if the two hour time limit should apply to the entire lot to encourage turnover, or, if due to its relatively small capacity, the lot would be better suited as a permit parking only facility. If the closure is temporary, this may not be necessary.

The City should continue to regularly collect parking data and monitor occupancy to evaluate parking management strategies and the effectiveness of changes, 31 Introduction

2.0 Introduction

2.1 Project Background
A previous Parking Roadmap Study was completed for the City, which included the recommendation to perform this parking occupancy study annually to monitor Downtown parking trends. The results of the annual parking study enable the City to make data- driven parking management decisions based on reality, rather than perception. To provide a comparative analysis. the City contracted DIXON to provide annual data collection and reporting for five years.

Data collection took place over two days in November 2022. Weekday data was collected during observation rounds starting at 9 AM (morning), 12 PM (midday), 3 PM (afternoon), and 6 PM (evening) on Tuesday, November 1. Weekend data was collected during the same time frames, with an additional late evening observation on Saturday, November 5 starting at 8:30 PM. Data was collected across fourteen study areas in and around the City’s downtown area (see Figure 3). The six on-street study areas consisted of portions of La Reina Avenue, New Street, Downey Avenue, 4th Street, 3rd Street, and 2nd Street.

The eight off-street study areas, including seven surface lots and one parking structure, consisted of Civic Center Lot, Narrow Lot, Library Lot, 2nd & La Reina Lot, Firestone & Dolan Lot, Gateway Lot, Parking Structure, and Post Office Lot. A detailed description of the location and parking inventory associated with each survey area is provided in the corresponding sections below.

For comparison, occupancy and turnover data from the previous 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2021 Parking Studies have been included. In the fall of 2020, due to COVID-19 and the shelter in place order, the City decided not to move forward with data collection. The City recognized that because many residents and visitors were staying home during that time the data could have been significantly skewed and not reflective of typical parking habits.

2.2 Data Types
Occupancy Data
A key objective of the data collection was to determine the parking occupancy of the locations within the study area. For each block or street segment, the occupancy rate was calculated by dividing the number of observed vehicles by the total parking space supply, 41 Introduction

DIXON
The parking industry standard for parking occupancy rate is 85%. Maintaining at least a 15% vacancy rate ensures there is enough parking available and that it is easy to find This helps avoid congestion from drivers looking for parking. The 85% occupancy rate can be a helpful threshold when evaluating parking management strategies or policy adjustments.

Turnover Data
During each collection period, identifiable information was recorded for each vehicle. If the same license plate number was recorded only once, the vehicle was assigned a less than :bhour stay duration. If the same license plate was recorded during two, three, or four successive observations, the vehicle was assigned a 6-hour, ©hour, or 12-hour stay duration, respectively. The license plate information was only used for data comparison purposes.

The vehicle turnover volume was calculated based on the number of unique vehicles observed each day. Turnover percentages for each study area were calculated by dividing the number of vehicles that turned over by the total volume of cars. The turnover rate is an important measure for understanding how drivers utilize the parking supply.

2.3 Data Collection Methodology
The two data collection days were selected to allow for a comparison between weekday and weekend occupancy and turnover rates. Tuesday was selected for the weekday data collection day as to not interfere with downtown trash pick-up or street sweeping operations which occurs on other weekdays, The selected data collection dates were determined with input by the City to ensure that no major events conflicted with typical daily operations,
Table 1 presents a brief description of each of the study areas from the 2022, 2021, 2019, and 2018 data collection efforts. Table 2 presents a brief description of each of the study areas from the 2015 Parking Study, which varies slightly from the more recent efforts.

4.2.2 Turnover Rates
Tables 27 through 29 compare weekday, weekend, and daily average turnover rates across each of the eight off-street locations. In general, the City should expect lower turnover rates in off-sbeet locations as compared with on-street spaces. Ideally, longer- term visitors should store their vehicles off-street.

4.3 Additional Off-Street Occupancy Data
An additional late evening data observation round was conducted during the Saturday collection in 2022, 2021 and 2019 at 8:30 PM. Table 30 shows the occupancy in each off- street location. The Narrow Lot had the highest occupancy at 93%, and the Post-Office Lot had the lowest, with 7%. The average occupancy of all locations during the late evening sample period was 29%

36 5.0 Conclusions
The data collection rnethodology, study locations, and study time periods were selected to better understand weekday and weekend parking trends within Downtown Downey.

The data analysis results are intended to support the City in evaluating and possibly implementing program changes applicable to each on-street and off-street public parking location study area. The annual collection and analysis of parking data is meant to provide a baseline by which to measure future occupancy and turnover rates as parking challenges may evolve,
DIXON found that, for the most part, the results of the 2022 study are similar to previous years. The average occupancy for on-street locations continued to be below the industry standard target of 85%. Overall, the observed on-street and off-street locations have adequate parking availability and turnover at most times of the day, and there are no impacts that require urgent attention. Based on the results, the City can proactively address parking management best practices. A few potential considerations are discussed below:
•Consider installing wayfinding signage to direct drivers to off-street parking to maintain on-street parking availability. Signage should ideally promote utilization of the parking structure and other parking facilities that have excess capacity. By leveraging directional signage along common driving routes. the City can efficiently direct drivers to off-street parking areas. The promotion of off-street parking will maintain convenient on-street parking availability for short-term parking and easy access for food and merchandise pick-up, loading, and deliveries. It is a best practice to prioritize the most convenient curb space for those active uses and encourage long-term parking sessions (a couple hours or more) in off-street parking facilities.
•The Narrow Lot occupancy rate averaged 73% across all time periods but exceeded the 85% occupancy target during 4 of the 9 collection time periods.

While this spike in occupancy was likely the result of displaced parking supply from construction, it is still an indication of high parking demand in this area, nonetheless. The average occupancy in 2022 was higher than that observed in 2021, which was an average of 60% across all time periods. During the 2022 data ooll8ction, the Narrow Lot inventory decreased from 24 spaoes to 15 spaces due to construction. Of the 15 spaces in the Narrow Lot, 6 are permit parking spaces, and the remaining 9 are two hour time limited spaces. Frequently exceeding the 85 percent occupancy threshold is an indication that policy changes could be 37 needed in the Narrow Lot. If a portion of the lot is expected to be closed long-term, the City could consider if the two hour time limit should apply to the entire lot to encourage turnover, or if due to its small size, the lot would be better suited as a permit parking only facility. If the closure is temporary, this may not be necessary. • Continue consistent parking enforcement to encourage compliance with parking policies. Compliance is critical for the success of the City’s parking operation since it improves the effectiveness of policies,
• Continue to regularly collect parking data and monitor occupancy to evaluate parking management strategies and the effectiveness of changes. 38
