Facilities Services- Campus Planning 2007 CAMPUS MASTER PLAN MONITORING REPORT

-1-

Oregon State University through the development review process and approval of the Campus Master Plan (CMP) is responsible for the completion of a Campus Master Plan Monitoring Report. The details to be included in the report are identified in the OSU District land development code in Chapter 8, Section 3.36.70. The report will be ordered in the following manner:

1. Updated tabulations of development and open space for the planning area. 2. Updated parking utilization reports. 3. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Report that identifies efforts and effectiveness of those

efforts undertaken by the University over the previous 12 months to reduce reliance on the single-occupant vehicle.

4. Base Transportation Model update. 5. Two additional monitoring efforts:

a. Work with the City to perform a baseline traffic count of local streets; b. Report on OSU’s partnership with the Neighborhood Traffic and Parking Task Force.

Item #1: Updated tabulations of development and open space for the planning area, including:

a) Gross Square Footage of development by type that occurred in each sector over the previous 12-month period; (the GSF includes projects submitted for a building permit to the City within the last 18-month calendar period.) (Refer to Appendices: Campus Master Plan – Sector Detail)

b) Remaining development allocation for each sector: (Refer to Appendices: Campus Master Plan – Sector Detail)

c) Remaining open space areas and percentages for each sector: (Refer to Appendices: Campus Master Plan – Sector Detail)

2. Updated Parking Utilization Study, including:

Refer to Appendices: OSU Parking Utilization and Neighborhood Street Parking Study – Fall 2007

3. TDM Report that identifies efforts and the effectiveness of those efforts undertaken by the

University over the previous 12 months to reduce reliance on the single-occupant vehicle. Such efforts shall include, but not be limited to: a) Shuttle Routes and Usage

(Refer to Appendix 4: OSU 07-08 Shuttle Ridership)

b) Other efforts in support of transit, car-pool, or van-pool usage;

The Oregon State University Alternative Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC) is charged with advocating, coordinating, and providing leadership for alternative transportation efforts at Oregon State University. During the past year, the committee met

-2-

monthly to advance the use of alternative transportation. Below is a summary of ATAC’s efforts and accomplishments for the past year:

Continued development of the OSU Bicycle Plan, including identifying existing programs and infrastructure and future needs

Reviewed proposal and assisted in site selection for a secure bicycle parking facility Reviewed and provided feedback for the conceptual plan to improve 14th/15th Street between

Monroe and Jefferson Promoted alternative transportation by staffing informational booths at Earth Week, PAC-10

Fitness Challenge Kick-off and Beaver Community Fair Sponsored Bike Commute Workshop conducted by Bicycle Transportation Alliance Sponsored and coordinated the month-long Bike Commute Challenge

c) Tabulation of the number of single-occupancy vehicles reduced;

Since the Campus Master Plan was approved in 2004, the overall parking capacity increased by 843 spaces. This was due largely in part to the addition of OSU’s first parking structure. The construction of the structure was a condition of approval for the Reser Stadium Expansion Phase I in 2004. Since 2004, OSU has decreased its parking capacity on campus by 3.8% or 315 spaces. Specifically, a gravel lot east of the Hilton Garden Inn was decommissioned in 2005 and is now mostly used for game day parking. OSU has agreed to allow the Corvallis Transit System to utilize 26th street as a bus route through the core of campus. In addition, OSU will develop a transit hub on 26th Street between Jefferson and Campus Ways for people to access both the CTS and OSU transit service. With the location of the transit hub, this provides a transportation alternative for OSU students, employees and/or visitors to use mass transit as a means of getting to campus. OSU will look at the feasibility of a downtown shuttle this fall that can circulate between the campus core and the downtown district. This would enable travelers to get to and from the Downtown area to have lunch or run errands without using their own vehicles, or may help a traveler use other transit services to get to and from campus minimizing the use of their single occupancy vehicle. For the specific reduction of single occupancy vehicles on campus, refer to Appendix 2: OSU Parking Utilization and Neighborhood Street Parking Study – Fall 2007.

d) Location and number of bicycle parking spaces, including the number of covered spaces and any additions to the inventory;

A bicycle inventory was completed as of May 2008. We developed the process into a GIS-based bicycle study, so we are including both utilization and maps to assist you with your review of our study. (Refer to Appendix 3: 2008 OSU Bicycle Parking Utilization Survey)

-3-

e) Identification of campus pedestrian routes and system improvements.

Pedestrian and Transportation Improvements: 2007 1. Completed 35th Street Improvements between Jefferson Street and Washington Way, per

the 35th Street Agreement – triggered by adjacent development known as the Energy Center Project.

2. Minor grind and overlays on several streets. (Bates Hall, 13th Street, 14th Street, and 26th Street).

3. Completed a sidewalk replacement on 30th Street from Campus Way to Jefferson Street. 4. Replaced sidewalk adjacent to Cordley Hall.

4. Base Transportation Model update that includes the following components:

a. Traffic counts to be updated on a 5-year cycle; An update to the BTM was completed in 2005, so the next scheduled update will be 2010.

b. New development and, if known, future development square footage and use type

(based on the existing model’s categories) to be included in the model assumptions on a per sector basis; None at this time.

c. New parking areas or roadways that may have an effect on traffic volumes or

patterns; and

None at this time.

d. Within one year of the adoption of the CMP, and on a recurrent 2-year schedule, OSU shall complete in coordination with City staff a baseline traffic count for Jackson Avenue between Arnold Way and 35th Street. City staff shall provide OSU and the neighborhood association with the most recent baseline traffic volume measurements made within the last 5 years.

A Transportation System Plan was developed to focus on the Specific Area Plans (SAP). SAP 1 was completed in 2007 and the report and maps are included in the appendices which include the streets identified above. (See Appendix 5: Transportation System Plan – Specific Area Plan 1)

-4-

b. Additional Monitoring efforts include:

1. Within one year of adoption of the CMP, OSU should work with the City to perform a

baseline traffic count of local streets identified by neighborhood associations as

problems in the areas bordering Sectors A, B, and C, and south of Harrison Boulevard.

a. A baseline traffic count was completed on January 8 and 9, 2007 per agreement with the

City of Corvallis. The traffic count is included and has been forwarded to PTV America for

use in the Base Transportation Model. This criterion has been met.

2. OSU shall participate as a full partner in a task force initiated by the City with City,

University, neighborhood association and neighborhood business representation to

review and evaluate existing baseline traffic measurements, parking studies, and other

relevant information and development strategies to mitigate problem areas.

The Neighborhood Traffic and Parking Task Force met July 19, 2005 where OSU

participated as a full partner. A report was written by the College Hill Neighborhood

Association chairperson, Dan Brown, and a draft has been submitted for the City’s review.

OSU continues to work with the neighborhood with OSU’s parking studies.

A Transportation System Plan was completed for the specific area identified in the

Neighborhood Traffic and Parking Task Force Report submitted June 2007. A copy of the

Specific Area Plan (SAP 1) is attached with this report. (Refer to Appendix 5: Transportation

System Plan – Specific Area Plan 1.)

c) Historic Preservation Planning

As stated last year, OSU received a grant from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)

in 2005, and The Getty Foundation Campus Heritage Grant in July 2006 to assist OSU with

the development of a Historic Preservation Plan. Since that time, OSU has completed the

following planning efforts:

Identified the OSU Historic District based on OSU’s Period of Significance. The period is from

1898 when the first building was constructed to 1957 (50 year threshold). (See Attachment C.)

Hired 8 student interns who completed an intensive level survey of all resources within the OSU

Historic District. There were 83 resources identified and 59 of the resources are considered

historically significant and contributing to the historic district.

Worked with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office on the historic district database.

Assisted the SHPO office as beta-tester for the SHPO historic resource database.

Completed the National Register nomination documents to ensure that we identified all of the

required information about the historic resources within the district.

-5-

Submitted the nomination documents to SHPO in April 2008, and then SHPO submitted to the

National Register on May 9, 2008. On June 25, 2008, OSU received notification from the State

Historic Preservation Office that the OSU Historic District was approved.

Completed a draft copy of the OSU District Historic District Zoning Code, which will be

incorporated into the existing OSU District land development code, as well as Chapter 2.9: Historic

Resources. We will begin the public information/review phase of the process late summer/early fall,

and hope to gain approval by the end of 2008.

Developed the draft umbrella plan known as the OSU Historic Preservation Plan. The plan will be

the overarching document that guides OSU’s historic preservation efforts. The document will also

include Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, based on the National Register’s Standards for

Preservation, Renovation and Restoration. The design guidelines will also be incorporated into OSU’s

Design Criteria which is the document provided to consultants and contractors who do construction

business at OSU.

OSU officially notified of the approved OSU Historic District on June 25, 2008.

Refer to Appendix 6: OSU Historic District Map

d) Section 3.36.07 – Drainage Way Management Agreement, item (c7) includes:

With each request to enter into a DMA, OSU shall produce a Properly Functioning Condition (PFC)

report. The PFC report shall be developed/compiled by a qualified professional and shall include;

a) A stream health assessment of Oak Creek for the AREA impacted by development. As part of this

assessment, an evaluation shall be done for any areas needing improvement due to site-specific

impairments that have affected the PFC of Oak Creek.

b) A list of recommended actions and improvements, which consider the findings and

recommendations from the OSU Oak Creek Task Force report, to re-establish the PFC of Oak Creek.

c) An implementation plan for the recommended actions determined in the PFC report.

For the CMP Report for 2008, OSU offers the following information of Oak Creek Improvements for

2007:

Dam removal and associated bank work near 35th Street and the Oak Creek Center for Urban

Horticulture (formerly known as the Apiary Complex.) This included extensive bank reshaping and

streambed stabilization.

Ongoing debris and invasive species removal west of 30th Street near the Oak Creek Building.

Focus of removal was on the Himalayan blackberry and English ivy.

-6-

Removal of several pieces of concrete debris from near the north side of the creek. This included

soil retention fabric over exposed soil as well as planting of native plants. Future removal of concrete

and other debris may occur in 2008, late spring or summer.

Planting of native trees and shrubs west of 30th Street to increase vegetation corridor and maintain

species diversity. (Almost 130 plants and trees have been planted.)

The Animal Sciences Department enrolled approximately 154 acres in the Benton Soil and Water

Conservation District’s Conservation Reserve Enhancement program to protect and restore riparian

areas along Oak Creek.

OSU’s Horticultural Department who occupies the area at the Oak Creek Center for Urban

Horticulture has expressed an interest in water quality and water retention research on site. This will

eliminate or minimize stormwater discharge into Oak Creek for the research activities at this site, as

well as provide OSU with the necessary research to minimize impacts to its primary watershed.

d) Facilities Services has completed a Sustainability Strategic Plan and is included in the CMP

monitoring report. The plan’s purpose is to provide guiding principles, policies and procedures that

move campus infrastructure and operations towards sustainability. In addition, OSU has a

commitment to a healthy community campus initiative as a “Health Community” focused on a

healthy balance between life and work.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this study is for the University to analyze parking utilization on the OSU main campus and to perform an on-street parking survey on the two residential parking districts north of the campus (see map Attachment A - ParkingSurvey Overview Map). The main campus study is used to determine and analyze existing supply and demand as well as identifying parking trends on campus. OSU conducts a parking inventory during the fall term when enrollment is highest. As stated in the Campus Master Plan (CMP), vehicular parking improvements will be implemented if the campus occupancy rate reaches 90%. Neighborhood surveys on the north side of campus, where many classroom buildings but few parking lots exist, are used to assist in measuring and monitoring the impact of parking on the neighborhoods.

STUDY FINDINGSResults of this study indicate that parking utilization on campus for 2007

is at 75%. Utilization has increased by 2% over 2006 while the population of the campus increased by 1.7% (404 people). Factors that may have amplified the increase in utilization is the extension of free parking on campus up to the week of the survey so new computer management software could be implemented by Transit and Parking Services (TAPS) and fluctuation in supply due to construction activities. The increased utilization is in line with the population increase and shows a slight percentage decrease in the campus population parking on campus.

OSU permits issued decreased by 336 (a 485 student decrease & 149 Faculty/Staff increase) or 5%. The apparent decrease in demand of parking permits may be partially attributable to students no longer having the option to directly bill to their accounts starting this year (as they have in the past) which requires them to pay in person. Another factor that may contribute to the decrease is the extension of free parking on campus as previously stated (for those who put off purchasing a permit).

The overall total of parking district A and B utilization did not increase although there was a slight shift in the districts. College Hill West (District A) had a increase of 3% while North College Hill (District B) decreased by 3%.

METHODOLOGIES

The study was conducted during the fall academic term during the 4th week of the school (16-17 October, 2007 , from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on campus and from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM off campus). This time period is when the campus is considered at peak occupancy and is typical for reporting statistics for 4-year colleges and universities. The study was conducted over a 2-day period on a typical laboratory day (Tuesday) and typical lecture day (Wednesday) representing peak days within the week.

OSU MAIN CAMPUS PARKING SURVEYAn inventory of vacant parking spaces was completed one time on each day of

the survey. The campus survey was completed by Campus Planning and TAPS.

CAMPUS POPULATION & PARKING CAPACITY

To effectively evaluate how OSU is planning existing and future parking needs, Figure 1 (OSU Population Breakdown) below shows the campus population trend. Over the past five years the total campus population has increased approximately 1.4% with the largest percent increase being between 2006 and 2007 which had an increase of 1.7%.

Campus parking consists of a parking structure and a variety of parking lots: permit-regulated, metered, and open parking. On-street parking is available on 11th, 13th, 14th and 15th streets campus way west of 30th street and other roadways adjacent to the campus. The lots and on-street spaces on campus are mainly controlled by the OSU permit system except for one “open” parking lot that is free for anyone to use. The “open” lot is located on Campus way west of the Motor Pool parking lot. Parking lots are serviced by a free shuttle service which

-4-

Figure 1: OSU Population Breakdown


consists of two buses that continually run on schedule throughout campus from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m and connect to the Corvallis Transit bus system.

OSU’s parking management program employs a permit system for most of the parking lots, a pay-lot system for short-term metered parking, a campus shuttle and enforced parking. Permits are sold by use type: faculty/staff, student, emeritus, motorcycle, and visitor. Parking spaces within lots are assigned according to their permitted use. Those with faculty/staff permits are also allowed to use the student lots. Special permits are available for service vehicles and visitors on campus.

Figure 2 (OSU Parking Capacity and Enrollment Trend) shows the breakdown of assigned parking spaces relative to campus population. Overall parking spaces decreased by 136 spaces from 2006 and 2007. The decrease in parking spaces is attributed mainly to paving and construction staging in the Reser Stadium lot and Lasells Lot respectively as well as the elimination of parking on 14th/15th Street. The relative distribution of parking capacity by campus sector can be viewed in Attachment B - Parking Capacity by Campus Sector Map.

PARKING UTILIZATION

Parking utilization is calculated as the ratio of occupied spaces to the total number of spaces. A 90% utilization rate requires the University to construct new parking facilities. At this level of utilization drivers may spend considerable time circulating campus in search of a parking space. Based on the survey, OSU’s parking is at a utilization rate of 75% during peak hours. A detailed map

-5-

Figure 2: OSU Parking Capacity and Enrollment Trend


showing parking lot utilization by parking lot and campus sector is included as Attachment C - Campus Survey Results Map.

Parking Occupancy between 2006 and 2007 has increased by 2% from 73% to 75%. Figure 3 (Summary of Parking Capacity) and Table 1 (Summary ofParking Usage on Campus) show a comparison of parking utilization over the last five years. The increase may be the result of many factors but can be mainly attributed to the increase in population of the campus population (1.7%). Factors that may have amplified the increase in utilization is the extension of free parking on campus up to the week of the survey (for those who wait to purchase permits) and a decrease in the number of parking spaces on campus (due mainly to construction and striping of parking lots). The increased utilization is, however, in line with the campus population increase and actually shows a slight percentage decrease in the campus population parking on campus.

PARKING DEMAND (PERMIT SALES)Parking demand is defined by parking lot utilization or by the sale of campus

parking permits. OSU uses parking demand ratios to project future demand in conjunction with parking lot utilization. The parking demand ratio is calculated by

-6-

Figure 3: Summary of Parking Capacity

Table 1: Summary of Parking Usage on Campus


either the ratio of permitted vehicles to campus population or the ratio of vehicles parked to campus population. Table 2 (OSU Peak Time Parking Demand Ratios) below shows the total number of parking permits by two categories: 1) faculty/staff; and 2) student.

The data in Table 2 indicates that 19% (14% Student, 40% Faculty/Staff) of the campus population parks on campus during peak time. During this same time 73% (78% Student, 65% Faculty/Staff) of those purchasing permits use them. Compared to 2006, the number of permits has decreased by 336 permits (decrease of 483 Students & increase of 145 Faculty/Staff) or 5%. The apparent decrease in demand of parking permits may be due to students no longer having the option to directly bill to their accounts which requires them to pay in person. Other factors effecting the decrease in permits may include the extension of free parking up to the week of the parking survey, increased ridership of the OSU shuttle on campus, increased OSU environmental awareness and the higher cost for fuel.

PARKING UTILIZATION BY SECTOR

The OSU Campus Master Plan divides the campus into nine sectors, each with its own development allocation, including parking. Table 3 (Summary of ParkingUsage on Campus by Sector) shows parking demand and utilization for by campus sector. Attachment B - Parking Capacity by Campus Sector Map shows a map depicting relative sector parking capacity by sector. Attachment C -Campus Survey Results Map shows a map depicting sector utilization as well as individual parking lot utilization.

-7-

Table 2: OSU Peak Time Parking Demand Ratios

Table 3: Summary of Parking Usage on Campus by Sector


On a sector by sector basis (excluding sector J that has no parking) only Sector F maintains less than 50% of utilized capacity. Sector F’s lack of utilization (32%) is mainly attributable to the Reser Stadium parking lot being underutilized (3% on average). Sector H shows underutilization (10%) less than 50% but does not hold a significant amount of parking capacity (46 spaces), is only used for athletic events and is not patrolled by TAPS. Sector G’s lack of utilization (65%) is mainly attributable to the underutilization of the parking structure (54% on average).

NEIGHBORHOOD STREET PARKING STUDYThe Neighborhood Street Parking Study was completed during the same days

as the OSU Main Campus Parking Study (October 16 and October 17) which is representative of peak student attendance on campus. The study included hourly surveys starting on the hour from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for the College Hill West (District A) and North College Hill (District B) districts north of the OSU main campus. The survey was orchestrated by Campus Planning and performed by Facilities Services personnel and student workers. Personnel performing the survey met with Campus Planning staff prior to the study for instructions about data methodology and collection. A graphical representation of the results for 2006 and 2007 is indicated in Figure 4 (Summary of Overall NeighborhoodParking Usage).

-8-

Figure 4: Summary of Overall Neighborhood Parking Usage


DISTRICT FINDINGS

The College Hill West(District A) parking district is bounded between 27th and 32nd Streets east/west and between Van Buren and Johnson Avenue north/south. The North College Hill (District B) district is bounded between 14th and 24th Street east/west and between Harrison Blvd. and Monroe Avenue north/south. The overall street parking utilization by time period for this survey is indicated in Table4 and a summary is shown in Figure 4, Street capacity is determined by utilizing a standard parking space of 22' x 18' for contiguous parking and 18' x 8' for single parking. Because streets are unmarked more compact vehicles can be fit into a series of unmarked spaces than is indicative of capacity.

SUMMARY OF DISTRICT A FINDINGS

As shown in Table 4 and Figure 4 above, District A has an overall average utilization rate of 71% over the period of the survey. This indicates a 3% increase over last year’s survey. Side streets nearer to campus (see AttachmentD - Neighborhood Street Parking Survey Results District A (College Hill West)) shows to be over or near capacity which may indicate possible OSU affiliated parking.

Based on the assumption that vehicles without parking district permits are OSU affiliated possible causes of the increase in parking utilization of the district could be attributed to the nearness of the open campus parking lot and/or that restrictions set by the city do not sufficiently deter OSU affiliated parking.

Vehicles with OSU parking permits (hang tags) are also another indication of student parking. An average of 14 (7% of capacity) OSU parking permits were found during the survey period.

SUMMARY OF DISTRICT B FINDINGS

As shown in Table 4 and Figure 4d, District B has an overall average utilization rate of 96% over the period of the survey. This indicates a 3% decrease over last year’s survey. Many of the streets show to be over 100% capacity (see Attachment E - Neighborhood Street Parking Survey Results District B (NorthCollege Hill) Map) that are nearer to the campus which indicates possible OSU affiliated parking. Capacity utilization of this district may also reflect lunchtime parking.

Vehicles with OSU parking permits (hang tags) are also another indication of student parking. An average of 29 (11% of capacity) OSU parking permits were found during the survey period.

-9-

Table 4: Hourly Neighborhood Street Parking Utilization during Survey


OVERALL SUMMARY OF DISTRICTS A AND BTogether the neighborhood districts north of the campus show an 85% street

parking utilization rate. This indicates a 0% decrease over last year’s survey with a slight shift of increased parking to District A (opposite of last year). The decrease may be attributed to many factors including new housing, location of free parking on campus, on/off campus enforcement, student parking and/or driving behavior and inclement weather during survey.

DISTRICT PARKING UTILIZATION STRATEGIES Strategies that may be considered to improve parking both at OSU and in the

residential districts include but are not limited to the following:• Analysis of the parking study indicates that an average of 42% of the

vehicle parked in the district do not have district parking permits. The number of non-district permitted vehicles may be reduced if parking enforcement was increased in the neighborhoods in effort to change parking behavior

• The City of Corvallis does not stripe parking spaces in the neighborhoods. Analysis shows that more cars are parked on streets than what is available (based on 22’ x 8’ standard contiguous parking spaces and 18' x 8' single parking spaces). Parking on streets where parking is over 100% of capacity (“hot spots”) may be reduced by striping of individual parking spaces.

• OSU will continue to complete the City of Corvallis Neighborhood Parking District Study every 5 years (next study to be accomplished in in 2013 in conjunction with the annual OSU parking utilization study) to identify potential strategies to establish and maintain acceptable parking utilization rates within the existing neighborhood parking districts.

2008 OSU Bicycle Parking

Utilization Survey

2008 OSU

Bicycle Parking Utilization Survey

Facilities Services- Campus Planning June 2, 2008 2008 OSU Bicycle Parking Utilization Survey

Overview.

In the spring of 2008 a comprehensive bicycle parking inventory and survey (performed on 5 May, 2008) of the Oregon State University main campus was conducted. Total capacity for on-campus bike parking was found to be 6,145 of which 1,759 (29%) are covered and 4,386 (71 %) are uncovered. A 44% utilization rate of bike parking capacity was found in the survey. The weather conditions on the day of the survey were sunny and 70°- an ideal day for biking. The last survey performed in the Fall of 2004 indicated a utilization of 43%. Although this appears to show no significant change, the current survey includes additional capacity not included in the past and an additional 431 parked bicycles.

Methodology.

Prior to conducting the bicycle utilization survey a thorough inventory of bicycle capacity on campus was conducted. Using the latest inventory all bicycle parking locations were confirmed and new locations were found. In all, 57 changes were made in the numbers and types of bicycle racks found on the Oregon State main campus. Bicycle parking was grouped by location where a location was one or more bicycle racks on a side or entrance of a building or structure. Each location was assigned a number so that they can be uniquely identified and mapped (See Appendices F and G). Locations may contain multiple types and is either covered or uncovered. All bicycle parking locations were cataloged in a database and the number and types of bicycle parking spots were recorded as well as other details. In concert with recording details in the database all locations were geographically mapped using ArcGIS software. Reports from the database and visual maps were created to depict the existing bicycle inventory and utilization on campus.

The survey was conducted on a Monday, historically one of the peak days of the week on campus (the other day being Wednesday). The survey was completed by the generous assistance of four students from Steve Cook's GEO 300 class. Map development, database development, data entry, calculations and analysis was completed by Facilities Services Campus Planning.

Inventory. Total bicycle capacity on the OSU campus is 6,145 parking spaces of which 1,759 (29%) are covered and 4,386 (71%) are uncovered. The preferred type rack to be generally installed on campus are hoop racks as they are more convenient to place, secure and remove bicycles. Old-style heavy wireframe wheel racks are less preferred but still exist for the majority of bicycle parking (57% of total capacity) (See Appendix A). As racks are replaced hoop racks are installed over wheel racks.

Bicycle parking must be constructed with new development on campus based on the total square footage of the structure. Corvallis Land Development code (Section 3.36.50.13 - Bicycle Parking) reqUires that at least 50% of this new bicycle parking capacity be covered. Currently about 29% of the bicycle parking on campus is covered. As new development occurs our percentage of covered parking should

-2


increase. Also OSU is in the process of installing some bicycle lockers on campus which will also have the effect of increasing covered bicycle capacity.

Utilization. The results of this survey show that the OSU campus has a bicycle parking utilization rate of 44% during p~ak times. A cursory review indicates that when a rider has a choice between covered and uncovered parking, covered parking is preferred even on an ideal riding day. It is expected that the demand for covered parking would increase during inclement weather and the lack of covered parking may decrease the number of people who may ride during periods of inclement weather.

The highest concentration of bicycle parking utilization was around the University Housing & Dining buildings. These areas indicate a consistent utilization of greater that 50% (See Appendix B). The vast majority of hot spots (locations with greater than 75% utilization) were at dining and housing buildings (See Appendix C).

The campus sector found to have the highest utilization percentage was sector D at 55% representing 394 parked bicycles (See Appendix A). The overall capacity for bicycle parking in sector D however is only 711 bicycle parking spots. Most of utilization was located at IVicNary dining hall and Avery Lodge with capacities of 180 and 54 parking spots respectively. McNary's usage that day was found to be 48% and Avery Lodge was 81% of capacity. Sector C comprises the central campus area and contains most of the more commonly used classroom buildings and also much of the student housing. Overall it contains 65% of OSU campus bike parking capacity. This area had a utilization of 43% (representing 1,715 parked bicycles [58% of the parked bicycles on campus]) on the survey date compared to a 44% overall usage for the campus (representing 2,964 parked bicycles).

Five bike parking locations on campus were not surveyed due to ongoing construction. These included the newly renovated Reser Stadium and the complete renovation of Apperson Hall (in process at time of survey). Reser Stadium was still largely surrounded by construction fencing and the property around Apperson Hall is completely fenced off in a similar way (See Appendix F for exact location). These non-surveyed locations, according to the 2004 inventory, included 97 uncovered parking spots, 87 of which were categorized as wheel racks.

During the period of the survey any damaged and/or missing bicycle racks were noted. The repair needed is shown in Bicycle Parking Survey Damage Report (See Appendix H) and the location of the racks is shown in Bike Location Physical Status Map (See Appendix E).

Oregon State University Transportation System Plan OSU

Oregon State Specific Area Plan I UNIVERSITY

1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the Oregon State University (OSU) Transportation System Plan is to maximize transportation system utilization by non-automobile modes and to minimize future transportation impacts to neighborhoods adjacent to the OSU campus boundary. OSU has already implemented several actions to minimize neighborhood impacts including:

• A standing committee to promote alternative modes of transportation; • Including pedestrian-oriented planning in development projects; • . Operating a campus shuttle program; • Participating in a "pre-paid ride" program with local public transit systems; • Participating in a neighborhood task force; and • Completing two neighborhood parking utilization studies over the past 5 years.

The OSU Transportation System Plan provides a framework that balances transportation demand management with the needs of the community, the City· of Corvallis, and the University. To better analyze OSU's transportation impacts, Specific Area Plans (SAPs) were identified in order to comprehensively study smaller areas with mixed uses, including adjacent neighborhood associations. Four (4) SAP areas were identified and are depicted in Exhibit 1. SAP I and II include City of Corvallis certified parking districts A and B respectively. While other SAPs do not contain certified parking districts, all SAP's include adjacent City neighborhood associations within their boundaries. '

The SAPs include buildings, parking lots and private streets within the campus boundary as well as arterial highways, city arterials, collectors, and neighborhood collectors. In addition, SAP boundaries were drawn to include a mix of land uses as a means for a more balanced assessment.

The development of the SAPs supports a strategic approach to OSU's overall transportation planning ac;tivities.

Neighborhood Parking District A in the parking utilization study identifies a total of 200 on-street City parking spaces. This capacity was determined based on City of Corvallis Land Development Code regulations for onstreet parking. Study data indicates Parking District A has a 68% parking utilization rate (137 occupied spaces of 200) between the hours of9:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The study also indicates 51% (70 spaces) of the parked cars do not have a residential permit. The Neighborhood Parking Utilization Study also identifies "hot spots," which are areas that exceed 100% utilization. The "hot spot" area in Parking District A is between Jackson and Johnson Avenues, and 27 th and 32nd streets. The following map shows the 2007 parking utilization restilts with hot spots identified.

1.4 EXISTING INTERSECTION OPERATING CONDITIONS

The OSU Base Transportation Model (BTM) was developed and adopted as a technical appendix to the CMP, and addresses what transportation impacts will occur as the campus develops. A subsequent BTM update was completed December 2006 to modify the future campus buildout to gross square foot assumptions. In the updated BTMtransportation analysis zones were defmed as buildings and parking lots.

Based on the BTM update completed in December 2006, the following lists show existing intersection operating conditions within SAP I:

Five (5) additional intersections were studied within SAP I using methodology consistent with the BTM update. The Neighborhood Task Force established in January 2005 noted that the intersections needed further study since they were not included in the Base Transportation Model. The following table shows the existing operating conditions for the five additional intersections:

1.7 SAPl RECOMMENDATIONS The 2004 Campus Master Plan (CMP) projected a total OSU population of 27,600 in 2015. As of November 30, 2007 the total OSU population is 26,258, or 95% of the projected total. The CMP full-buildout development by year 2015 was projected at 10,830,513 square feet (an increase of3,155,000 square feet from 2004). The total development that has occurred since 2004 is 105,763 square feet, or <1 % of the projected development.

The parking utilization at the time of the approval of the master plan was 85%, which required additional parking facilities to be constructed in compliance with CMP policy 7.2.7. A parking structure has since been constructed and the 2005 Parking Utilization fell to 69%, a 16% reduction. As stated earlier, the 2007 Parking Utilization

Transportation System Plan PagelS

Oregon State University Transportation System Plan osu Specific Area Plan I

Study reported an overall on-campus utilization rate of75%, which is 10% less than the 85% threshold that triggers planning for additional parking.

The CMP states parking will be relocated to the campus perimeter (generally to the south and west) as new development occurs; however, there are no current plans to remove parking in SAP I. The residents of Parking District A have expressed dissatisfaction with the perceived amount of OSU-related parking in the district. In an attempt to address this concern, OSU began a neighborhood parking utilization study for Parking District A beginning spring term 2000 with the intent to study parking behaviors. Parking District A is a City-maintained parking district; therefore, OSU cannot take measures to mitigate the parking impacts. However, this study enables OSU to present recommendations for consideration by the City.

As stated above, the current OSU population is near that of the projected 2015 numbers, while development is significantly lower than the projected totals. The current parking utilization levels are below thresholds which require planning and construction of additional facilities. This plan and the following analysis and recommendations for SAP I provide additional mitigation strategies specific to neighborhood impacts.

RECOMMENDATIONS All of the information provided in the analysis of SAP 1 allows a more detailed intersectionoperation analysis to address transportation impacts. The following recommendations will address the potential impacts:

1. Restrict westbound movements from 27th Street at Jackson and Johnson Avenues. This will potentially divert traffic away from Neighborhood District A and reduce utilization in the identified "hot spots."

2. Restrict through traffic on Orchard at the 30th Street intersection, allowing only the OSU shuttle service . and emergency vehicle access. Restricting neighborhood access points will direct traffic to use 27th Street and Orchard Avenue. Restricting auto travel on Orchard Avenue further reduces the need for non-resident vehicles to cut-through the neighborhood. Overall, these restrictions are intended to divert traffic to the perimeter arterial roadways, Harrison Boulevard and 35th Street, which are intended to serve larger traffic volumes.

3. Revise the Arnold Way, 27th Street and Jackson Avenue intersections by closing the southwest bound traffic access. The Neighborhood Traffic Task Force supports this recommendation.

4. Remove Orchard Avenue on-street parking from 26th Street to 30th Street to reduce vehicle conflicts. Typically, cars have to wait for other cars and/or buses to pass creating decreases in the acceptable levels of service. Recommendation number five (5) coincides with this recommendation to further offset neighborhood impacts.

5. Restrict on-street parking in District A to include one of the following: a. Restrict all on-street parking spaces to "permit only" for residences and their guests during

weekdays; OR b. Provide a specific number of "permit only" spaces equal to the number ofhouses per block, with

the remainder of spaces available by permit holders or others (option could be to install meters for one or two hour maximum during weekdays).

c. With either option, on-street parking spaces should be striped to the City of Corvallis standards to regulate over-parking scenarios, which lead to utilization rates over 100%.




6. Change the parking time limit from 2-hour to I-hour for vehicles with no residential permit. Either option proposed for permit restrictions should be implemented within the entire Cedarhurst and College Hill neighborhood boundaries, as restricting only the area within Parking District A will cause an overflow into the abutting residential areas. Details regarding the permit restrictions will need to be discussed with the City of Corvallis as this area are outside of the OSU campus boundary.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

As the proposed mitigation eliminates an existing north-south travel route (30th Street), it is important to evaluate trip redistribution at SAP I area intersections. Of particular importance are those identified as failing during the planninghorizon (Le. Harrison and 30th

). As 30th becomes restricted, additional use will occur at intersections on Campus Way, Jefferson Way, Washington Way and 35th Street for traffic entering into campus. Special treatment and emphasis, including signage, of these intersections is necessary both for identification and functional purposes. Additionally, as trips are expected to shift to other portions of campus and abutting areas, it is critical to ensure that CTS and the OSU Shuttle routes are modified accordingly to efficiently get people to and from their

. campus destinations.

Coordiilation with the City of Corvallis regarding the proposed on-street parking restrictions will be important to evaluate the possibility of implementing the recommendations indentified. Additionally, it is important to understand the amount of on-street parking spaces available and used by non-residents fot the entire Cedarhurst and College Hill boundaries in order to determine what potential impact can be attributed to OSU. As recommended transportation improvements occur within SAP I, a redistribution of trips will need to be completed, as parking will more than likely move to other areas surrounding the campus. Additional studies of specific intersections will be included in the 5-year update to the Base Transportation model.

As part of an on-going effort to monitor parking impacts and changes resulting from campus development/ redevelopment, it is recommend that OSU and City of Corvallis staffmeet bi-annually with the neighborhood districts to discuss planning efforts as well as other mitigation strategies. This effort should focus on developing a coordinated effort with the City of Corvallis to determine the best mitigation strategy.

Facilities· Services Sustainability Strategic Plan

Principles and Goals

Oregon State University Sustainable Facilities Committee

2006

Introduction

1.1 Purpose and Overview

The Oregon State University (OSU) Sustainable Facilities Committee (SFC) was established in November, 2004 by the OSU Facilities Services Department to develop guiding principles, policies and procedures that move campus infrastructure and operations toward sustainability. Additionally, the group serves as a discussion forum for the various operations groups on the OSU Corvallis campus.

The SFC's primary initial duty is collaboratively creating this strategic and goal setting segment of this two part plan. The second part, comprised of more detailed implementation and guidance documents, will be developed following adoption of this strategic Part 1.

The SFC will develop this plan in accordance with its vision to ultimately transform OSU into a sustainable institute ofhigher education. This includes becoming more environmentally responsible and economically stable as it strives to become one of America's top 10 land grant universities. At the heart of this movement is a transformation ofOSU into an institution guided by sustainable practices.

The SFC will embrace the efforts of campus operations groups and proactively address specific barriers to achieving campus sustainability at OSU. These actions will serve the campus community as well as the people of Oregon by safeguarding quality of life, enhancing the natural environment, maximizing taxpayer investment and, ultimately, better preparing students for the social, environmental and economic challenges of the futUre.

1

2.2 Plan Framework and Compatibility

The Sustainable Facilities Committee is dedicated to recommending and fostering development consistent with the State of Oregon's sustainability initiatives, the Oregon University System Sustainability Plan, the OSU Strategic Plan, and the OSU Campus Master Plan. In accordance with these documents, the SFC will provide strategic direction in order to institutionalize and expand efforts in sustainability, giving particular attention to human health and safety protection, zero net environmental impact, and long term cost reduction. The SFC will make recommendations within the framework of this plan.

2.2.1 . Statewide Sustainability Initiatives

Led by two executive orders from Oregon's two most recent Governors, the state government has embarked on multiple sustainability initiatives, many of which impact and involve higher education institutions and state agencies. Ten objectives have been identified to help guide decision making in state government and agencies.

Additionally, the executive orders require state agencies to designate sustainability coordinators and to develop sustainability plans. The Oregon University System plan, discussed below, provides general system-wide guidance and meets state reporting requirements. Information about these and other initiatives can be found on the Internet at www.sustainableoregon.net.

In November 2004, the Oregon Department ofAdministrative Services issued Sustainable Facilities Standards and Guidelines. These guidelines require all new construction and renovation of state buildings to meet US Green Building Council's LEED Silver equivalents.

2.2.2 Oregon University System Sustainability Plan

In response to Governor Kulongoski's 2000 Executive Order, the Oregon University System has created a sustainability plan for higher education in Oregon. The OUS Sustainability Plan provides guiding principles for sustainable development at Oregon's seven public universities. In particular, three areas of focus are:

• On-going reporting, as required by the state; • Collaboration with the campuses in creating a more detailed version ofthe OUS plan; and • A web presence to support the reporting and collaboration

While the Oregon University System Sustainability Plan meets state reporting needs, it does not currently contain specific binding requirements for individual universities. Oregon State University's SFC strategic document, and subsequent guidance documents and policies, will be in alignment with the OUS Plan, and will strive to exceed and anticipate future requirements from revisions to the OUS Plan.

2

2.2.3 Oregon State University Strategic Plan

The Oregon State University Strategic Plan recognizes that OSU has strengths in five multidisciplinary thematic areas. Those areas integrate the primary missions of teaching, research and outreach, and are essential to meeting the goal ofbecoming a top 10 land grant institution. Accordingly, while OSU will progress in many areas, it will focus academic resources and investments on five themes. The SFC has attempted to develop this plan in accordance with these five thematic areas:

1. Advancing the arts and sciences as the foundation for scientific discovery, social and cultural enhancement, and progress in the applied professions.

2. Understanding the origin, dynamics, and sustainability of the Earth and its resources.

3. Optimizing enterprise, innovation, and economic development. 4. Realizing fundamental contributions in the life sciences and optimizing the health

. and well-being ofthe public. 5. Managing natural resources that contribute to Oregon's quality oflife, and

growing and sustaining natural resources-based industries.

Although the OSU Strategic Plan does not directly address operational issues, there are clear advantages to linking these five thematic areas with excellence in operations. Advantages include increased, diverse student internship opportunities, research and technology testing and improved working and learning environments. Outside universities, few other organizations can boast such diversity, so many intellectual resources and such broad operational requirements. Furthennore, if campus operations do not mirror stated university values, the entire university looses credibility.

2.2.4 Campus Master Plan

The Campus Master Plan (CMP) recognizes the need for facilities and services to support the academic and research communities ofOSU. Through the implementation ofthe CMP, the University will respond to the intellectual, economic, and technological advancement needs of the campus community while visually and physically reinforcing the campus organization and unity.

The CMP includes a series ofpolices that promote sustainability. For ease of reference, these policies are described below as they appear in the CMP:

Development, Operations, and Management (CMP Chapter 2, page2-6)

CMP Policy 2.5.4: Incorporate sustainability concepts in decision-making with regard to construction, operations, and maintenance.

2.8 Environmental Stewardship and Natural Features (CMP Chapter 2, page 2-12)

3

CMP Policy 2.8.5: Continue to support and expand whenever practicable reduction, reuse, and recycling programs on campus, including salvage ofbuildings due to be demolished.

CMP Policy 2.8.6: Encourage the use of sustainable materials and design principles that preserve natural resources and minimize negative impacts to the environment.

CMP Policy 2.8.10: Promote sustainability when setting policies and making administrative decisions.

CMP Policy 2.8.11: Seek and implement efficiencies in resource consumption. Consider incorporating energy conservation techniques, such as siting of buildings for energy savings, integration of natural lighting, installation of passive heating and ventilation systems, and other improvements that increase energy efficiency.

CMP Policy 2.8.15: OSU shall proactively and strategically incorporate sustainable design and techniques in its planning and construction projects.

. 2.3 SFC Sustainability Plan Guiding Principles

In developing its guiding principles the SFC reviewed The Natural Step framework. The Natural Step is a science-based approach to understanding and measuring sustainability and associated activities. Ifwe are to meet its "System Conditions" we must: 1 Not extract substances from the earth's crust faster than they are deposited; 2 Not increase concentrations of synthetic and toxic substanc.es produced by society; 3 Not over harvest or degrade nature by physical means and; 4 Ensure that human needs are met worldwide.

The Natural Step takes an "upstream approach" to sustainability and addresses problems at the source. According to the Natural Step, "the practice of sustainability is about creating new ways to live and prosper while ensuring an equitable, healthy future for all people and the planet." http://www.natura/step.org//earn/understand sust.php

For the purposes ofthis plan, the SFC defines sustainability as meeting our current needs in ways that ensures future generations can also meet theirs. Based on this definition, the SFC has developed the following guiding principles:

1. When developing local (i.e., campus or building) solutions to problems, understand the broader systems or subsystems (environmental, social and economic) of which they are a part. Look "upstream" to solve "downstream" problems, look for interconnection, and try to understand a solution's impact on the community at large.

2. Recommendations should promote long lasting, cost effective, and socially and environmentally responsible solutions. To be sustainable, solutions need to meet all four of the System Conditions, not just one.

4

3. Sustainability programs should foster awareness of and demonstrate the business case of sustainable practices on the planning, construction, maintenance and operation of university facilities .

.'

4. Realize it is a journey and it takes time to become more sustainable.

5. Acknowledge accomplishments along the path toward sustainability, externally as well as internally, giving life to programs through publicly that celebrates accomplishments.

6. Recognize that solutions often come from the passion and creativity of our people.

2.4 SFC Strategic Goals

These goals are a first step towards transforming OSU's operations into an enterprise guided by sustainable practices. As noted earlier, the Natural Step has been adopted as a framework to guide goals and eventual objectives and actions. In general, these goals are relatively unchanging, long term and, serve as a platform for more detailed work in the future. Objectives, actions and timelines will be developed in response to goals and will be "living" implementation documents that will change from time to time.

GOAL 1: ATTAIN UNIVERSITY-WIDE ZERO NET ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT This means zero OSU-induced degradation ofair, water and soil quality; toxic emissions from campus and; reliance upon non-renewable material and energy. (Natural Step System Conditions 1, 2, and 3)

Moving toward this most ambitious of our goals means mitigating unavoidable practices and phasing out environmentally damaging activities. To live within its ecological footprint, OSU must be able to measure and budget ecological services provided from its forest, farm and urban land. These services include providing energy, clean air and water, as well as solid waste processing. These services ~re available in finite amounts.

To achieve sustainability, consumption must be reduced to the capacity supported by that footprint. Facilities and operations groups must make every effort to protect nature's ability to furnish these natural services; we recognize they are irreplaceable and provided free ofcharge. At a minimum, the university is committed to meeting all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations..

Steps to reduce solid waste and improve energy efficiency are easy first moves toward reducing OSU's ecological footprint. Additionally, protecting natural capital like wetlands and riparian areas not only ensures future natural services, but benefits the community at large. A first step to reducing landfill-bound waste to zero is selecting materials that can continuously be recycled, composted, or reused, rather than downcycled and ultimately landfilled.

5

GOAL 2: ENHANCE HUMAN WELL-BEING This means that employees, students and visitors can access comfortable healthy and productive workplaces, learning and meeting space. (Natural Step System Condition 4)

Human resources are the university's single largest financial expense, but they are also the most valuable ,asset. A healthy and comfortable environment for employees, students and visitors not only benefits the university, but also strengthens the community and local economy. Reduced employee turnover and fewer sick days are a few benefits of employee well being.

Monitoring indoor air quality and ergonomic standards, and selecting building materials and furnishings that are low emitting, non-toxic and made from renewable, local sources are relatively small investments that can have quick returns in reduction oflabor expenses and lost time.

Stability is often necessary before sustainability can be achieved. In times of crisis, it's essential to minimize loss of life and property. Assuring OSU operations groups can resume and sustain essential business operations following a disaster is one step toward emergency preparedness.

GOAL 3: PROVIDE LONG TERM COST REDUCTIONS Oregon taxpayer investments are protected by reducing OSU's operating costs through strategic expenditures and long term cost avoidance.

Through true cost accounting and long-term strategic investments, the University can minimize the impacts of the traditional volatile economic market. Alternatives to unsustainable goods can be sourced as they become available, adding value to and supporting an emerging natural- , capital-based economy.

Additionally, locally harvested and manufactured foods, goods and services drive reinvestment in the Oregon economy, and reduce impacts of national and international market instability. Procurement standards can move OSU to supporting vendors and service providers that contribute to a service-based economy that examines product lifecycles, ,and that moves away from take-make-waste product flow. Procurement can be based <?n sustainability principles. An OSU sustainable procurement policy is an important piece of our local and regional economic development strategies and will drive more sustainable solutions in the private sector.

6

GOAL 4: FOSTER A CULTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY Faculty, staffand students are aware oftheir impact on OSU's sustainability performance and why it is critical to the success ofOSU. Their passion and enthusiasm changes the culture.

Improve awareness of OSU's sustainability efforts and inform faculty, staff and students on how their actions impact OSU's ability to be sustainable. Develop tools like a campus-wide survey, training events, tours, news releases, and improved environmental metrics for communication packages. Empowering people to be part ofthis process is critical to the success of this plan, as is ensuring students and employees are free to be creative and innovative.

GOAL 5: DRIVE AND SUPPORT INNOVATION Tap into OSU's strong innovation, research and development capabilities to establish new thresholds for sustainability performance, new technologies and better application ofexisting technologies.

OSU operations can move to the forefront of environmental protection by identifying areas where research is needed into new technologies and innovative practices that improve sustainability performance. Partnerships with research faculty can be created to identify gaps and potential breakthrough areas. Similarly, alliances with industry sponsors and vendors to field test new products and methods create quality feedback and testing opportunities for the business community.

Additionally, the OSU statewide public services (Extension Service, Forest Research Lab, and Agricultural Experiment Station) can take part in information sharing about innovations in sustainable operations and business practices.

Sustainable research and development supports Corvallis and State economies, similar to the way sustainable purchasing strategies can enhance the university's impact on the local economy and support a closer community connection.
