Exhibit A.6
Transportation & Parking Management
Staff Findings
26.515.060.C, Transportation & Parking Management
Staff Findings:
Pursuant to the Land Use Code, one parking unit is required for each affordable housing (AH)
unit; in this case, five parking units for five AH units. The Residential Multi-Family (RMF) zone
district allows 100 percent of parking mitigation to be met via cash -in-lieu or via a combination of
cash-in-lieu and on-site parking. Four 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,
80 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. Given the residential use of the
surrounding neighborhood, plenty of on-street parking exists throughout the immediate area.
Lastly, the proximity of this property to the commercial core and public transportation facilities will
further reduce vehicle use for tenants. Again, it should be emphasized that 100 percent of parking
mitigation may be met via cash-in-lieu. The applicant plans to provide 80 percent of required
parking mitigation on-site, which staff considers a benefit to tenants and the surrounding
neighborhood.
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. At this point, the applicant has indicated that
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:

subscriptions to car-sharing and bike sharing services will be made available to tenants for one
year. Staff finds that providing a TDM for one year meets the applicability of this project.
Additionally, 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 Resolu tion 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 property.
