Re: Proposal for a Parking Management Plan Update
City of Pismo Beach, CA
Dear Megan:
Walker Consultants is pleased to submit for your review our proposal for parking consulting services for updating the Parking Management Plan originally drafted by the Pismo Beach Parking Advisory Committee.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Pismo Beach is updating its Parking Management Plan to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the downtown parking system, reflect current and future conditions in the downtown area, and develop and/or r.r expand on current practices and systems to address the City's parking challenges. `0
As a classic coastal California city, Pismo Beach experiences peak parking demand during the summer (particularly weekends), and dramatically lower demand during the winter. Spikes in parking demand may occur as well during events such as its iconic Car Show and Para Surfing events. Such fluctuations in demand present a challenge to crafting a reasonably consistent parking management approach that can be applied appropriately year-round. Adding to the complexities are recent policies intended to ameliorate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One has been the addition of parklets throughout the downtown, the implications of which will be considered in the Plan update. The policies of the Parking Management Plan Update must also align with the needs of the City's Local Coastal Plan and the City's Circulation Element.
SCOPE OF SERVICES/WORK PLAN
1. PROJECT KICKOFF
1.1 Meet or teleconference with City staff to discuss project parameters and develop a further understanding of the specific needs for the Parking Management Plan update.
1.2 Confirm project geographical boundaries, expected to fall within the boundaries of the Downtown Parking District.

1.3 Obtain from City staff relevant project information including, but not limited to: past parking studies, current plans (e.g., Circulation Plan, Local Coastal Plan, etc.), projected changes in the public parking supply, transaction data, any other relevant parking system data.
1.4 Walker will review these Plan documents in order to collect data and make recommendations consistent with the Plans.
2. CURRENT CONDITIONS
2.1 Conduct an inventory of the number and location of publicly accessible private (with five or more) parking spaces in the study area.
2.2 Conduct an inventory of the number of parklets that are occupying on -street spaces in the study area.
Discuss with City staff plans and possible changes in the number, size and location of parklets.
2.3 Receive from the City information regarding parking facilities within the study area that have been available to the public but may be removed from the public parking system. Similarly, City staff will inform Walker regarding private parking spaces or sites that are anticipated to be eliminated or public access.
2.3 Given the timing of this project, Walker will conduct parking occupancy counts on one weekday and one weekend day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., during what is anticipated to be the off-peak season. To determine a reasonable estimate of the most current peak season conditions, Walker will utilize available historic parking occupancy data and the most recent revenue data from the City to project demand during the high season for the purposes of the Parking Management Plan.
2.4 Summarize findings in a brief narrative, tabular, and map format and draft into a technical memorandum.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE CURRENT PARKING MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND SYSTEMS
3.1 Taking into account the data collected during the parking inventories, information provided by the City, and Walker's experience with best practices, Walker will evaluate current parking management strategies and systems for the purpose of making recommendations for improvement that align with the goals outlined in the draft Parking Management Plan.
3.1 Walker will review the City's current parking policies and provide recommendations that are consistent with the City's Circulation Element, Local Coastal Plan, and other relevant plans.
3.2 Walker will review and make recommendations regarding the City's draft Parklet Program drawing on experience from working with other cities and best practices. Walker will take into account the quantitative and qualitative effects of the City's parklet program on the provision of parking within its recommendations. A detailed analysis or quantification of the parklet program and its effects is not envisioned as part of this effort.
3.4 Summarize findings in a narrative, tabular, and map format and draft into the updated Parking Management Plan document.
3.5 We anticipate receiving one set of consolidated written comments from City staff, to incorporate into one final Parking Management Plan Update document.
