GROSS RETAIL SALES AND AUTOMOBILE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
RETAIL SALES VOLUMES PROVIDE A BASIS UPON WHICH THE ENTIRE PROBLEM OF TOTAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR A CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT CAN BE EXAMINED. THE CYCLICAL AND SEASONAL CHANGES WHEN REDUCED TO NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS FORM A DYNAMIC BASE UPON WHICH BOTH MERCHANT AND MUNICIPAL POLICY CAN BE PREDICATED. THE ORIGIN AND DESTINATION PARKING STUDY OBTAINS THE FOLLOWING DATA: (1) NUMBER OF PERSONS PER AUTOMOBILE, AGE AND SEX, (2) TIME DURATION PARKED, (3) PLACE WHERE AUTOMOBILE IS PARKED, AND (4) DESTINATION OF OTHER OCCUPANTS. THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES REQUIRED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS RELATED TO THE DRAWING POWER OF THE TRAFFIC GENERATOR WHICH THE PARKING FACILITY SERVES. RETAIL SALES DATA PROVIDES A COMMUNITY WITH A DYNAMIC BASIS UPON WHICH TOTAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN COMBINATION WITH ORIGIN AND DESTINATION SURVEYS CAN BE ASCERTAINED.
