Page 20 Table 15 Practical Capacity by Block Page 22 Exhibit A Individual Block Information Exhibit B Parking Occupancy Survey Results 2 | Page  I.O VERVIEW A sufficient supply of convenient parking supports the success of local businesses and enhances The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing parking supply in the downtown Prior Lake area to determine if the City of Prior Lake and private property owners are providing an adequate supply of on- and off-street parking stalls to meet the needs of local residents, customers and employees of downtown businesses. Full occupancy of every parking space is not realistic so when evaluating the results of the parking occupancy survey it is important to understand the concept of practical capacity Practical capacity refers to an estimated operational capacity of a parking lot. A parking lot is perceived by the public to be at full capacity when occupancy levels reach 90 percent. Because of this perception, industry standards indicate an effective utilization of a parking system is achieved when a surplus of parking stalls are available; generally a 10 percent surplus. This report assumes parking blocks are at full capacity (practical capacity) when they reach 90 percent occupancy.  This report presents the results of a parking study for the downtown area of the City of Prior Lake. Included in the document is an analysis of existing parking supply and demand, which was developed by conducting parking occupancy field surveys in the downtown area. In addition, City staff utilized the future land use projections detailed in the Market Potential Analysis of Proposed CR 21 Improvement Options in Downtown Prior Lake, Minnesota, completed by Maxfield Research, Inc. in December, 2010 to provide an estimate of future downtown parking needs. The Downtown Area Parking Study, originally completed by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates in April 2004, was intended to be a document that can be easily updated as land use development and/or redevelopment occurs in the downtown area. City staff used the original 2004 report as a guideline for the completion of this 2012 Downtown Area Parking Study update. This Downtown Area Parking Study is intended to be one of many tools that can be used to assist in the future development of the Prior Lake downtown area. It is recommended that this report is updated every three years or as substantial development or redevelopment occurs. II.Executive Summary The Executive Summary provides the primary findings and conclusions of the parking study conducted for the downtown area of the City of Prior Lake. There are a total of 783 designated parking spaces within the primary downtown study area that serve residents, employees and customers of downtown area businesses. Of the total 783 designated parking spaces; 174 are on-street parking spaces, 195 are off- street public parking spaces, and 414 are off-street private parking spaces. The downtown study area is depicted on Figure A of this report. 3 | Page  In addition to the 783 parking spaces included in this study, City staff estimated an additional 170 parking spaces are located in the downtown area; however, the additional parking spaces primarily serve specific businesses, such as parking or displaying vehicles in automobile sales lots, short-term parking at fuel stations/convenience stores, or parking for automobile repair businesses. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the Prior Lake downtown area provides a sufficient parking supply for residents, customers and employees of downtown businesses. Staff determined the additional parking stalls are not available for general resident, customer and employee parking; for this reason the additional 170 parking stalls were not included in the baseline parking occupancy survey information. The on-street parking stalls along Arcadia Avenue (five stalls) and the private off-street parking stalls at the currently vacant commercial building at the intersection of Dakota Street and Main Avenue (approximately ten stalls) were not included in the parking occupancy count because they were not available for public parking during the time the occupancy surveys were completed. The previous Downtown Area Parking Study, completed in 2004, included the MnDOT Park and Ride lot located north of Eagle Creek Avenue and east of Hwy 13. This lot provides parking for approximately 20 vehicles and was not included in the downtown parking occupancy survey. City staff felt, due to its location, this lot was not significantly utilized by employees and customers of downtown area businesses. Parking occupancy studies were conducted on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the week of June 17, 2012. The average parking occupancy (number of occupied spaces divided by the number of available spaces) for all designated on- and off-street parking stalls was 38 percent. The average on-street parking occupancy was 44 percent, the average off-street public parking occupancy was 42 percent, and the average off-street private parking occupancy was 34 percent. The parking blocks of 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 contain the most retail, commercial, office and services type land uses within the downtown study area. The average parking occupancy for these blocks, considered as a unit, was 40 percent. The average on-street parking occupancy for these blocks was 54 percent, the average off-street public parking occupancy for these blocks was 43 percent, and the average off-street private parking occupancy for these blocks was 34 percent. The peak parking occupancy of total designated parking spaces in the downtown area rd occurred on Saturday, June 23 when 52 percent of the total designated spaces were occupied. th The Monday, June 18 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 39 percent; th the Tuesday, June 19 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 45 percent; st the Thursday, June 21 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 45 percent, nd and the Friday, June 22 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 36 percent. 4 | Page  Block 6, which is located west of Main Avenue, South of Dakota Street, east of Erie Avenue and north of CR 21 experienced the greatest average (60% occupancy) and largest peak (89% occupancy) parking demand. There is one parking area that could be considered as special use the church parking lot in Block 1. The church lot, considering its special use for church activities and City Hall staff parking probably does not contribute much to the everyday needs of the downtown area, other than providing a parking area for City staff which relieves parking demand at other downtown locations. III.SA TUDY REA The study area for the parking analysis includes the downtown area that is depicted on Figure A below. Figure A Study Area 5 | Page  IV.EPC XISTING ARKING HARACTERISTICS The base data that was used for the parking study was determined by conducting an in the field count of the available parking supply in the downtown area followed by the completion of fifteen parking occupancy survey counts of actual vehicles parked. The downtown parking area shown on Figure A above was divided into 11 study sub-areas called Blocks. Such division allows for analysis of each block as to the supply and demand, thus providing a better indication as to the sub-areas where parking demand is at its greatest. The sub-area parking blocks are depicted in Figure A. The field survey that determined the baseline number of available downtown parking spaces only included the on-street parking spaces designated with painted lines and the off-street parking stalls which were clearly identifiable as public, employee, or customer parking. The baseline parking stall supply count did not include additional undesignated on- and off-street parking areas where it is permissible to park but the stalls were not clearly identified for parking. However, if a vehicle was parked in an undesignated parking stall, the parked vehicle was counted in the parking demand survey. The number of available on-street and off-street parking spaces, noted by block, are shown in Table 1 below. The total number of designated downtown parking spaces is as follows: Designated On-Street Parking Stalls = 174 Designated Off-Street Public Parking Stalls = 195 Designated Off-Street Private Parking Stalls = 414 The available parking supply survey indicates a total of 783 designated parking spaces in the downtown study area.

The parking occupancy survey results are attached as Exhibit B for reference. th The Monday, June 18 surveys were conducted at 9:00 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 3:00 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. th The Tuesday, June 19 surveys were conducted at 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. st The Thursday, June 21 surveys were conducted at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. nd The Friday, June 22 surveys were conducted at 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. rd The Saturday, June 23 survey was conducted at 10:30 a.m. during the Prior Lake V.Average Parking Occupancy The average parking occupancy (number of occupied spaces divided by the number of available spaces) for all designated on- and off-street parking stalls was 38 percent. The average on-street parking occupancy was 44 percent, the average off-street public parking occupancy was 42 percent and the average off-street private parking occupancy was 34 percent; all well below the practical capacity of ninety percent.

Table 7 indicates an average of 2.34 vehicles parked in undesignated off-street parking stalls throughout the downtown area during the parking occupancy counts. The survey results indicate the overall parking occupancy, during the fourteen weekday parking occupancy surveys, for all designated on- and off-street parking stalls in downtown Prior Lake ranged between 30 percent and 45 percent; the overall parking occupancy was 52 percent on Survey results show a build-up of parking occupancy throughout the early morning hours until the noon hour where the parking occupancy remained generally consistent throughout the afternoon and into the early evening. During the weekdays, on-street parking supplies exhibited a slightly higher occupancy with an average occupancy of 44 percent. Off-street public parking stalls had an average occupancy of 42 percent while only 34 percent of private off-street parking stalls were occupied on average. The Saturday survey results indicate 80 percent of the designated on-street parking stalls were on-street parking stalls (17% of the available on-street parking supply) to display their goods -street public parking spaces and 38 percent of the off-street private parking spaces were occupied. The Saturday survey results also exhibited the highest amount of vehicles parked in undesignated parking stalls, with 21 vehicles parked in undesignated on-street parking stalls and 7 vehicles parked in undesignated off-street parking stalls. VI.Peak Parking Occupancy The peak parking occupancy of total designated parking spaces in the downtown area (number of rd occupied spaces divided by the number of available spaces) occurred on Saturday, June 23 when 52 percent of the total designated spaces were occupied. th The Monday, June 18 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 39 percent; the th Tuesday, June 19 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 45 percent; the st Thursday, June 21 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 45 percent, and the nd Friday, June 22 occupancy of total designated parking spaces peaked at 36 percent. Table 8 below identifies the total peak parking occupancy by Block and includes all on- and off- street parking spaces. This table represents the peak parking occupancy observed on each individual block during one of the fourteen weekday surveys. Table 8 shows that even though a specific block may have a majority of its on- or off-street parking spaces occupied at a specific time (as detailed below in tables 9 through 14), at all times during the parking occupancy surveys there were designated parking stalls available within every block in the downtown area. 13 | Page  Table 8 Peak Occupancy Parking Area Excluding % Occupied Supply Farmer's Market Block 1 12 9 75% Block 2 58 34 59% Block 3 40 21 53% Block 4 70 27 39% Block 5 79 54 68% Block 6 105 93 89% Block 7 100 71 71% Block 8 34 17 50% Block 9 77 39 51% Block 10 178 68 38% Block 11 30 8 27% Total 783 441 62% Block 6, which is located west of Main Avenue, south of Dakota Street, east of Erie Avenue and north of CR 21, had the largest peak occupancy with 89 percent of all available on- and off-street parking spaces occupied at peak parking demand; essentially practical capacity. Block 6 had an average parking occupancy of 60 percent. The parking occupancy surveys indicate an overall peak parking occupancy of 45 percent for all designated on- and off-street parking stalls during the weekdays, which occurred on Thursday, st June 21 at 10:30 a.m. The overall peak parking occupancy was 52 percent of all on- and off- During the weekdays, on-street parking occupancy for the entire downtown area peaked at 60 percent, off-street public parking occupancy peaked at 62 percent, while at peak the off-street private parking stalls were only 37 percent occupied. These three examples of peak parking occupancy occurred during separate surveys. The Saturday survey results indicate 80 percent of the designated on-street parking stalls were on-street parking stalls (17% of the available on-street parking supply) to display their goods -street public parking spaces and 38 percent of the off-street private parking spaces were occupied. The Saturday survey results also exhibited the highest amount of vehicles parked in undesignated parking stalls, with 21 vehicles parked in undesignated on-street parking stalls and 7 vehicles parked in undesignated off-street parking stalls. 14 | Page  Figure F Total Peak Parking Occupancy by Block Tables 9 through 14 below identify the peak on-street parking occupancy and peak off-street parking occupancy experienced on each individual block. Tables 9 through 14 are not representative of the peak parking demand of the downtown area as a whole because the parking blocks generally did not experience their peak parking occupancy at the same time. 15 | Page  Table 9 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated on-street parking stalls by Block Designated On-Street Parking Table 9 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 5 3 60% Block 2 12 10 83% Block 3 15 13 87% Block 4 0 n/a n/a Block 5 16 11 69% Block 6 49 43 88% Block 7 22 20 91% Block 8 1 1 100% Block 9 14 10 71% Block 10 10 9 90% Block 11 30 8 27% Total 174 128 74% Figure G Peak On-Street Parking Occupancy by Block 16 | Page  Table 10 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated off-street public parking stalls by Designated Off-Street Public Parking Table 10 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 7 6 86% Block 2 0 n/a n/a Block 3 0 n/a n/a Block 4 0 n/a n/a Block 5 63 44 70% Block 6 32 30 94% Block 7 16 16 100% Block 8 0 n/a n/a Block 9 0 n/a n/a Block 10 77 48 62% Block 11 0 n/a n/a Total 195 144 74% Figure H Peak Off-Street Public Parking Occupancy by Block 17 | Page  Table 11 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated off-street private parking stalls by Designated Off-Street Private Parking Table 11 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 0 n/a n/a Block 2 46 34 74% Block 3 25 15 60% Block 4 70 27 39% Block 5 0 n/a n/a Block 6 24 21 88% Block 7 62 41 66% Block 8 33 16 48% Block 9 63 34 54% Block 10 91 28 31% Block 11 0 n/a n/a Total 414 216 52% Figure I Peak Off-Street Private Parking Occupancy by Block 18 | Page  Table 12 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated on-street parking stalls by Block Designated On-Street Parking Table 12 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 5 1 20% Block 2 12 12 100% Block 3 15 13 87% Block 4 0 n/a n/a Block 5 16 8 50% Block 6 49 46 94% Block 7 22 19 86% Block 8 1 1 100% Block 9 14 11 79% Block 10 10 9 90% Block 11 30 20 67% Total 174 140 80% Table 13 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated off-street public parking stalls by Designated Off-Street Public Parking Table 13 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 7 4 57% Block 2 0 n/a n/a Block 3 0 n/a n/a Block 4 0 n/a n/a Block 5 63 31 49% Block 6 32 31 97% Block 7 16 16 100% Block 8 0 n/a n/a Block 9 0 n/a n/a Block 10 77 25 32% Block 11 0 n/a n/a Total 195 107 42% 19 | Page  Table 14 identifies the peak parking occupancy for designated off-street private parking stalls by Designated Off-Street Private Parking Table 14 Peak Area Supply % Occupied Occupancy Block 1 0 n/a n/a Block 2 46 20 43% Block 3 25 8 32% Block 4 70 0 0% Block 5 0 n/a n/a Block 6 24 23 96% Block 7 62 43 69% Block 8 33 12 36% Block 9 63 30 48% Block 10 91 23 25% Block 11 0 n/a n/a Total 414 159 38% VII.CPN URRENT ARKING EEDS The two blocks which showed the highest total average weekday parking occupancy were Block 6, which experienced the greatest average occupancy at 60 percent and Block 7, which had the second highest average occupancy at 54 percent. All other blocks included in the parking occupancy survey indicated an average occupancy of less than 50 percent of total designated parking stalls. The four blocks which showed the highest total peak occupancy during the weekday surveys were Block 6, with the largest peak occupancy (89%), followed by Block 1 (75%), Block 7 (71%) and Block 5 (68%). All other blocks included in the parking occupancy survey indicated a peak parking occupancy of less than 60 percent of total designated parking stalls. Block 6 provides a total of 105 designated on- and off-street parking stalls; the second highest parking supply among all blocks surveyed. Even though the City of Prior Lake and private property owners are providing a large quantity of designated parking stalls, Block 6 experienced the greatest average parking occupancy (60%) and the greatest peak parking occupancy (89%) in the downtown area. Based on the parking occupancy survey results, the total average and total peak parking occupancy numbers do not necessitate additional downtown area parking to accommodate the current demand. However, should the City of Prior Lake decide to add additional on- or off- street parking in the downtown area, the greatest impact on the overall parking demand would be achieved by providing additional off-street parking in Block 6. 20 | Page  The survey results indicate additional parking in Block 6 would be more heavily utilized than additional parking elsewhere in the downtown area, thus it would be the most effective way to relieve parking demand. The addition of off-street parking in Block 6 would likely require the acquisition of all, or a portion of the Monnens Lumber Supply property. Block 7 showed the second highest total average parking occupancy at 54 percent and a peak parking occupancy of 71 percent. Additional parking in Block 7 would be utilized by residents, employees and customers of downtown area businesses but it may be difficult to add parking because the majority of the block area is developed with commercial buildings. Additional parking in Block 7 would likely require the purchase and removal of an existing building(s) which may be cost prohibitive. VIII.FPN UTURE ARKING EEDS In December, 2010 Maxfield Research, Inc. completed a study titled; Market Potential Analysis of Proposed CR 21 Improvement Options in Downtown Prior Lake, Minnesota. The study examined the market potential analysis for downtown Prior Lake, including the impact on the market potential from each of the three proposed CR 21 improvement options; the Base Line Option, the Main Avenue Bridge Option and the CR 21 Realignment Option. Under the Base Line Option, which was ultimately approved by the Prior Lake City Council, the Main Avenue and CR 21 intersection will be converted from a four-way stop to a right-in/right- out only in order to maintain traffic flow. To provide alternative entrances to the downtown area, a traffic signal will be added at the intersection of CR 21 and Arcadia Avenue and Arcadia Avenue has been extended south of CR 21 to connect with Colorado Street. (PTA) is served by about 540,000 square feet of retail space and 295,000 square feet of office space. Anticipated strong growth of households and employment in the PTA through 2030 will create the need for additional retail and office space. For retail, demand was calculated for a total of 760,000 square feet of space in the PTA in 2020 and 1 million square feet in 2030 (up from 540,000 square feet in 2010). As of 2010, Maxfield estimated downtown Prior Lake had about 101,000 square feet of occupied retail space; this equates to 18.8% of the total occupied retail space in the PTA. Maxfield projected the PTA will need 470,000 square feet of office space in 2020 and 630,000 square feet in 2030 to accommodate new employees (up from 295,000 square feet in 2010). As of 2010, Maxfield estimated that downtown Prior Lake had about 37,000 square feet of occupied office space; this equates to 12.6% of the total occupied office space in the PTA. Maxfield Research determined the proportion of total future PTA retail and office demand that can be captured in the downtown area partly depends on how CR 21 was improved. Downtown demand potential was calculated based on the strengths and weaknesses of each of the three improvement options. Maxfield Research projected the demand for additional downtown area commercial (retail and office) space under the Base Line Option would be an additional 29,000 square feet from 2010 to 2030. 21 | Page  Table 15 below compares the peak parking demand by block survey results to the 90 percent practical capacity estimate by block. Table 15 is included in this study for reference and it is noted that it is not conceivable to assume all parking facilities will operate at optimum capacity, especially when considering many of the underutilized parking stalls are located in off-street private parking lots and may not be available to general downtown resident, customer and employee parking. The purpose of including Table 15 in this report is to show the parking capacity of the downtown area when all parking spaces are occupied at practical capacity.

Although, as stated above, it is not realistic to assume all parking facilities will operate at practical capacity. Based on the parking occupancy survey data and dependent on the location of new commercial development adjacent to an underutilized parking supply, the downtown area should be able to absorb 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of new commercial development around the perimeter of the downtown study area without the need to construct additional parking facilities. The survey results indicate the downtown area parking demand needs are currently being met; however, based on peak parking occupancy results the Downtown Area Parking Study does not support additional commercial development in the downtown core (Blocks 5, 6 and 7) without providing additional resident, employee and customer parking. 22 | Page  EA XHIBIT IBI NDIVIDUAL LOCK NFORMATION Block 1 ůŽĐŬϭ 7
