HomeBase originally secured these permits ín April, 2015.HomeBase requests the Parking Commission convert 79 of the 113 standard monthly parking leases toUDC leases for meeting Uniform Development Code ("UDC") parking requirements pursuant to theParking Commission's Parking Lease Policy.The Bridger Parking Garage has 435 spaces, including spaces for parking leases, monthly parkingpermits, and first-come, first-served parking. The Commission's Parking Lease Policy states that the totalnumber of available spaces for rental in the Bridger Parking Garage will be determined by theCommíssion utilizing the adopted Lease Limit Calculation methodology. HomeBasds request has noeffect on the number of parking spaces ava¡lable because HomeBase seeks only to convert the statusof parking spaces it already leases.The Commission's Parking Lease Policy states the UDC leases are available to entíties that are requiredto provide additional parking spaces to meet the City's UDC requirements. Per the policy, the leases arelimited to the actual number of parking spaces required by the UDC, net of any offsets, reductions, oronsite spaces provided.HomeBase seeks to utilíze these spaces in conjunction with the development of the new AC HotelBozeman project located across the street from Bridger Park Garage, specifically 5 East Mendenhall. lnorder to meet the UDÇ the hotel project is required to provide 79 parking spaces which it seeks to fulfillusing the Bridger Park Garage. The project has been revised since our letter of last year. Thecommercial/retail space has been removed, resulting in a reduction of the required parking spaces. lt isalso important to note that of the 79 parking spaces, most will be utilized by hotel guests during eveningand weekend hours.Our request is consistent with the Commission's Parking Lease Policy. The Lease Limit Calculationgenerated in October 2018 indicates weekday peak hour occupancy did not exceed 74%. With nofufther data available, we felt it was important to understand the actual use of the garage, as opposedto using one data point during peak occupancy to calculate lease limits.
Stahly Engineering was retained to conduct parking counts in the Bridger Park Garage beginníng 3/5 andending 4/1. Stahly collected video of the entire garage 6 times during each weekday and 4 times duringweekend days for a total of L47 separate counts. As indicated in the attached report, actual use of thegarage is much lower than the peak occupancy figure used in the Lease Limit Calculation.During the 4 week study, actual data indicates the garage rarely exceeds 50% occupíed, with peak usageoccurring during the week day at 1:00pm. From the hours of 4pm through 9am when the AC Hotelwould create most of íts parking activity, the garage never exceeded 50% occupancy during theweekday. On weekends, the occupancy is even lower, with occupancy generally ranging lrom 2O-40%(except during the Run to the Pub event which was the highest occupancy at 307 cars).Further, the primary use of our requested spaces is for hotel guests who would largely utilize the garagewhen it is least occupied - at níght. Of the 79 parking spaces, the AC Hotel would use 16 spaces foremployee parking. The remaining 62 would be utilized by guests. A typical guest will utilize the garagefor overnight parking which would not begin until after the 3:00 p.m. check-in time.Perhaps most ¡mportantl% ¡t bears repeat¡ng that HomeBase is not asking the Comm¡ss¡on to issue anadditional 79 parking perm¡ts. Rather, we s¡mply seek the reclassification of 79 of the month¡ypark¡ng permits we already lease. The reclassification will allow these existing permits to qualífy formeetíng the UDC requirements. The garage will be utilized by the AC Hotel project primarily at nightand weekends, when the garage is least used, without significantly affecting available daytime use.For these reasons, we respectfully request the Commission grant our request to reclassify the 79monthly parking permíts to UDC lease spaces for the proposed AC Hotel Bozeman project.

The data collection officially began on 3/5/2019 andhas continued through 41112019.Data Collection Procedure:The study consisted of routine video collection of the entire parking garage between the hours of6:00 am and 8:00 pm. During the week (M-F) video was collected on six separate occasions atthe hours of 6:30 am, 9:00 am, l:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 8:00 pm. During the weekend (S- Su) a collection schedule was established at the hours of 8:00 am, 1:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 8:00pm.A total of 147 separate counts were made during the collection period. With only a fewexceptions this schedule was followed. Video data was used to count occupied parking spaces,circulating cars were not counted. Raw video data of each collection is available upon request.A detailed field count showed total of 437 parking spaces currently striped (two more than ispublished on the "Downtown Bozeman" website). Of these 334 spaces are open to publicparking, and 103 are in the basement which are permit parking.The highest parking total vehicle count occurred on Saturday March 16th due to "Run to the Pub"parking at 307 vehicles.Data Presentation:Data has been compiled and presented in both a table and graphically. The table presents theresults of each count and is separated into "Total Parked Vehicles" counted, "Open ParkingVehicles" counted (which is the above ground public parking), and "Basement Parking Vehicles"(which is reserved permit parking). Remaining spaces are also tabulated, based on the 437 totalspaces counted. The graph shows parking counts per time of day, with weekday and weekendcounts in different colors.Observational Notes:Parking analysis was not a project task; however,147 counting trips did provide some generalobservations.. Weekday use is generally greater than weekend use, and daytime use generally higherthan evening use.. Mid-day use is the highest demand.. The City of Bozeman is currently parking about 12-15 vehicles overnight in the basement,which are included in the parking counts.. Overnight use is very low.
