i <br /> • The project applicant has identified available additional parking is the Civic Center area <br /> within the vicinity of the project site. The additional parking, totaling 148 stalls in the Civic <br /> Center area will not provide suffcient parking to meet the City's parking requirement but <br /> could potentially alleviate some on-site parking congestion. <br /> • A queuing analysis was conducted to evaluate entry conditions. For a worst~ase analysis, it <br /> was assumed that all arriving students in the maximum class session would amve during the <br /> half hour before the start of the class. Based on this analysis, to avoid an inbound queue at <br /> the structure entrance that backs onto the public street, it is recommended that the entry <br /> procedures and equipment for the parking structure be designed so that the duration of the <br /> entry transaction is less than 5 seconds during peak arrival periods. A quicker entry <br /> transaction could be accomplished with an electronic pass card system, a parking permit <br /> displayed on the vehicle, or a ticket entry /pay on departure system. <br /> • Queuing conditions at the entrance could be alleviated by providing 10- to 15-minute breaks <br /> between class shifts, and/or staggering class start times. Implementing measures to <br /> encourage alternative travel modes and reduce single-occupant vehicles would also alleviate <br /> queuing and parking demand. <br /> • Based on information provided by Corinthian College, it is assumed that 19% of the student <br /> population is non-driving, and therefore use an alternative method of commuting, such as <br /> bicycling, ride-sharing, and using public transit. The project site and vicinity is well- <br /> developed with sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian pushbuttons to accommodate the <br /> movement of pedestrians between the bus stops and the building. The applicant should <br /> provide a transit information area in the lobby of the building, where students can pick up <br /> current bus route schedules and maps, and should consider providing transit passes at a <br /> reduced rate to encourage transit ridership. <br /> Corinthian College - 23 - February, 2010 <br /> <br /> Parking Study <br /> 31 A-43 <br /> <br />
