• The project applicant has identified available additional parking in 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 sufficient 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 -case analysis, it <br />was assumed that all arriving students in the maximum class session would arrive 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 />Parking Study <br />31 A -43 <br />
