Exhibit A.7
Transportation & Parking Management
Staff Findings
Staff Findings:
Pursuant to the Land Use Code, one parking unit is required for each affordable housing (AH)
unit; in this case, nine parking units for nine AH units. The Mixed-Use (MU) zone district allows
40 percent of parking mitigation to be met via cash-in-lieu or via a combination of cash-in-lieu and
on-site parking. Seven onsite parking spaces are proposed, including one ADA-accessible space.
These spaces are accessed from the rear alley and located beneath a covered area associated
with the rear addition. Remaining parking mitigation will be met with cash-in-lieu. Staff supports
the parking mitigation as proposed. Providing on-site parking is generally preferred to cash-in-lieu
as it reduces transportation impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. In this case, 77 percent of
required parking mitigation will be met on-site, which is a major benefit for tenants and contributes
to the livability and quality of this project. Additionally, each dwelling unit is eligible for one on-
street parking pass. Lastly, the proximity of this property to the commercial core and public
transportation facilities will further reduce vehicle use for tenants. It is reasonable to assume that
tenants living in this location can do so without owning a car. Between the off-street parking
spaces and the on-street parking passes available, tenants who choose to own a car will have
sufficient parking options available. In addition to the on-site parking, the applicant has completed
the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for this project and plans to provide a range of Mobility
Measures to satisfy the requirements of the Engineering and Parking Departments. Bicycle
parking will be provided on-site, and other infrastructure improvements will be made to encourage
alternative transportation choices. The TIA is subject to change and will be assessed at building
permit. Staff included a condition in the Resolution prohibiting Mobility Measures from occupying
any of the off-street parking spaces on the property.
Staff finds that this application meets the minimum parking and TIA requirements for the
proposed project.
All development and redevelopment projects are required to submit a Mobility
Plan, which shall include and describe a project’s mitigations for TIA and
Parking Requirements. The Engineering, Transportation, and Community
Development Department staff shall determine whether the project conforms to
this Chapter requirements using the following standards:
