PARKING UTILIZATION STUDY: PROPOSED DUtCH BROS, COFFEE
PAGE 1 OF 3
INTRODUCTION
Branch Engineering has been retained by the applicant to evaluate existing parking facilities; and
provide recommendations for minimuin n'ecessary parking supply to accommodate a new drive-through
coffee kiosk proposed in an existing restaurant parking lot. The Proposed Dutch Bros. Coffee will be
constructed on the China Sun restaurantparking'lotin Springfield.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
..
A parking utilization study was performed to determine how many of the existing parking spaces on-site
at China Sun restaurant are being utilized during peak (dinner) times throughout a typical week, and to
. - .
determine if the proposed reduction in on-site parking would be adequate to serve the existing and
proposed use. The parking areas were surVeyed between 5)0 PM and 6:30 PM, andJ2e.tween Tuesday
(November 4, 2008) and Sunday (November 23, 2008); aild the number of occupied spaces were
recorded. At least forty spaces were'found available during-'the peak hour time on typical weekdays at
dinner time, equating to approximatelya,58% vacancy. Twenty two spaces were found 'available during
the peak hour time on the weekends :;it dinner time, equating to' approx:imately a 32% vacallcy.
I
,
i
Beyond the stripped parking spaces, employees park their vehicles on the side of the buildings and were
not included in the totals, as they were not' utilizing designated parking for customers. An increase in the
restaurant attendance is not expected ~s"it is,\\Corking at its full capllcity.
China Sun restaurant hours of operation are on Saturday from 11 :00 AM to 10:30 PM, and the rest of the
days from 11 :00 AM to 9:30 PM. t:,
The following table summarizes the observed parking utilization at China Sun Restaurant's parking lot

PARKING UTILIZATION STUDY: PROPOSED DUTCH BROS, COFFEE
PAGE 3 OF 3
EVALUATION
The parking lot layout and existing parking areas were evaluated to identifY potential areas for a
reduction in parking spaces to accommodate the proposed Dutch Bros. Coffee, Due to the peak hour of
the generators not coinciding (coffee in AM, restaurant in PM), overlapping parking demand is not'
expected.
When accommodating the City's required four cars of queuing storage, it is recommended that a
minimum of 24- feet of clear driveway isle be maintained at the site access to prevent conflicts with
vehicles entering from the public street.
CONCLUSION
Based on this parking utilization study, it is recommended that a minimum of 61 vehicular parking
spaces be retained to accommodate the addition of Dutch Bros, Coffee at China Sun Restaurant in
Springfield, Oregon,
Attached is a conceptual parking layout illustrating the required parking.
