DRAFT SUMMARY OF TRANSPORTATION BOARD ACTION

Subject:	Residences at Grove Park Multi-Family Development (aka Town House Apartments)- Special Use Permit Application
Meeting Date:	March 13, 2008
Recommendation:	That Council adopt Resolution A in the February 19, 2008 staff report with the following recommendations to Stipulation (2): 1. Land Use Intensity. Revise the last two items in the table to read: · Vehicular Parking Spaces – (524) spaces · Bicycle Parking Spaces – (173) spaces Vote: 5-0 Ayes: Rudy Juliano, Vice-Chair, Augusts Cho, Mirta Mihovilovic, Bharath Iyengar, and Matt Scheer
Discussion:
	· The Board agreed that the number of vehicle parking spaces should be reduced from (580) spaces to (524) spaces, which was the number of parking spaces proposed in the initial application. The Board felt this would reduce the footprint of the development as it related to transportation as well as put less emphasis on automobile usage. · The Board also agreed that the number of bicycle parking spaces should be increased from (110) spaces to (173) spaces. Under current regulations, the proposed 346 residential unit development would require a minimum of (58) bicycle parking spaces, or (1) space per (6) units. The Board, however, has expressed a desire to change the minimum requirement to (1) space per (2) units. · Some Board members were concerned about the amount of traffic that might be generated by the development on neighboring streets and intersections, though the technical traffic analysis showed little to no impact.
