Montclair North Montclair Parking Analysis

The City of Montclair worked with Compass Blueprint to analyze key development and logistical issues for the North Montclair Specific Plan.

Montclair is a town in San Bernardino County in the Inland Empire region of the greater Los Angeles area.  The city currently has a Metrolink station, and will be the site of the terminus of the planned Gold Line Foothill Extension phase II.  The station will be located north of the existing Metrolink platform at the Montclair Transcenter. The station will have a center platform station with access from the east and west. The existing Metrolink platforms would remain and the pedestrian underpass that is currently in final design will not preclude the light rail platform or tracks. The pedestrian underpass will be located east of all platforms.

Goals

• Understand present parking capacity and its effects in the area
• Envision future development scenarios and their effects on parking demand
• Explore costs and financing options for constructing new on-and-off street parking

For this project, Compass Blueprint assisted in analyzing future parking demand, public parking requirements, and parking structure implementation strategies within the Fremont Corridor Area of the North Montclair Specific Plan.  Land uses planned for the project area were reviewed, as well as demand for on-and-off-street public parking.  The parking demand generated by an alternative development scenario was analyzed along with the potential cost of, and financing methods for, constructing parking structures in Montclair. Compass Blueprint also prepared visualizations of key locations within the North Montclair Specific Plan area.

Results

• Analysis of retail and residential parking demand
• Parking demand forecast based on alternative development scenarios using 800 or 1,050 residential units
• Parking Facility Funding/Financing Options
