 Many jurisdictions have zoning regulations that specify the level of parking that must be provided for various land uses. Data may be obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers publication "Parking Generation" or by making observations of peak parking demand at similar land uses to that under consideration. Peak periods vary for differing land uses. Peak residential demand occurs in the early morning hours. Some restaurants peak at lunchtime while others peak in the early evening. Office buildings peak in midmorning while shopping centers peak around noon on Saturdays.
