Parking and Loading Strategy - Vancouver · d-use office and retail project with around 366,145 sq...

38 April 26 th , 2017 4241.56 Lon LaClaire & Eric Mital City of Vancouver Engineering Services 507 W Broadway Vancouver, BC, V5Z 0B4 Dear Lon and Eric Re: 400 W Georgia Office Development Parking & Loading Strategy Thank you very much for the extremely helpful meeting with us on February 20 th , As we explained at the meeting, 400 W Georgia is a proposed 24-storey mixed-use office and retail project with around 366,145 sq ft of GFA by Westbank Projects Corp in Downtown Vancouver. This unique project will be an architectural landmark at the eastern gateway into downtown, and provide much needed employment uses, complimenting the growing cultural and entertainment precinct surrounding the site. Key to ensuring sustainable design translates into sustainable building management is to create the right balance of parking to meet the needs of future tenants, while not oversupplying parking so as to try and align more with future mode share targets in Downtown Vancouver. Further, this applies to the loading facilities for the building to ensure an efficient use of space while not compromising functional capabilities of the City’s lane and adjoining street network. The following paragraphs briefly outline the proposed parking, loading, and access strategy for the project moving forward, and summarize our understanding of the results of our conversation last week. Yours truly, Bunt & Associates Peter Joyce, P.Eng. Tyler Thomson, MUrb, MCIP, RPP, PTP Principal Transportation Planner 400 W Georgia | Parking & Loading Strategy | April 26 th , 2017 2 S:\PROJECTS\TT\4241-56 400 W. Georgia\5.0 Deliverables\20170426_4241-56_400-W-Georgia_Parking+Loading_V03.docx PARKING The City of Vancouver’s Parking Bylaw (Bylaw 6059, Section 4) requires the provision of: (a) minimum of one parking space for each 145 m² of gross floor area; and (b) maximum of one parking space for each 115 m² of gross floor area for non-residential uses downtown. For the proposed tower this would equate to a parking supply in the range of 235 to 296 spaces. Additionally, the City allows for parking credits to apply against the parking supply requirement, which includes: 2:1 credit for disability parking spaces (based on a minimum required number of spaces); 1:5 credit for providing Class A bicycle parking spaces for office/retail uses (i.e. 1 parking space for each 5 Class A bicycle parking spaces) above the minimum requirement up to a maximum of 1 space for each 300m 2 ; and, 4:1 credit for providing car-share vehicles (typically assessed on a case by case basis) 1 At our meeting, you expressed support for the use of the car-share vehicle credit for our proposed project, given our shared intentions for the project. This is a very important element in our thinking, and we very much appreciate this confirmation. Two parking strategy options are currently being considered, one based on seeking to provide fewer parking spaces but which would be subject to substantial payment-in-lieu fees (Option 1), and the other which would seek to strike a balance between expected market parking needs and avoiding over-parking the site and which would be subject to a lesser payment-in-lieu levy (Option 2). Option 1: Payment-In-Lieu - High In this option, the project would be seeking to provide parking at a reduced rate so as to avoid providing additional levels of parking, as per the following components: 130 regular parking spaces (including up to 25% small car spaces) 14 disability parking spaces (accounting for 28 parking spaces) 5 car-share vehicles (accounting for 20 parking spaces) 113 Class A bicycle parking spaces (accounting for 8 parking spaces) Physical Total = 149 spaces Calculated Total = 187 spaces 1 Note that the Parking Bylaw allows this credit for residential uses downtown but will sometimes also allow this parking credit for commercial uses if deemed appropriate Parking and Loading Strategy
