Land Use: 110 General Light Industrial Land Use Description Light industrial facilities are free-standing facilities devoted to a single use. The facilities have an emphasis on activities other than manufacturing and typically have minimal office space. Typical light industrial activities include printing, material testing and assembly of data processing equipment. Industrial park(Land Use 130)and manufacturing (Land Use 140)are related uses. Database Description The database consisted of a mix of suburban and urban sites. Parking demand rates.at the suburban sites were similar to those at urban sites and therefore the data were combined and analyzed together. • Average parking supply ratios: 1.1 spaces per 1,000 sq.ft. GFA (five study sites)and 1.3 spaces per employee (four study sites). • Average site employment density: 1,200 sq. ft. GFA per employee(five study sites). The number of employees for this land use was the total number of employees working on all shifts. Facilities with employees that work on shifts may peak at different hours. It is unclear from the data collected for this land use whether the parking demand counts occurred during, prior to, or after shift changes at the study sites. Four sites that were submitted were substantially smaller than the other sites contained in the database. The sites ranged in size between 1,200 and 5,100 sq. ft. GFA and employed between one and nine persons. The peak period demand observed at these four sites was 1.13 parked vehicles per employee. The parking demand information from These sites was excluded from the data plots and analysis.
