SD 43 does not contain any specific standards allowing the use of tandem <br /> parking within the project area. The applicant proposes to have 54% of the parking stalls designed as <br /> tandem spaces. The project that was previously approved on the site, Geneva Commons, was <br /> designed with 11 % tandem parking, which was permitted through a variance to the parking standards. <br /> Both the Nexus Towers and the Lyon Properties project also included a percentage of tandem parking, <br /> however the existing multi-family project to the west, the Pinnacle Apartments, contains no tandem <br /> parking and was developed pursuant to the existing zoning. As proposed, the applicant is requesting <br /> an amendment to SD 43 that would allow for tandem parking up to 54% of total parking. The following <br /> table provides a comparison. <br /> Table 4 - Tandem Parking Project Comparison <br /> <br /> MacArthur Place Tandem Stalls CompArison <br /> The Pinnacle SD 43 Geneva Commons Nexus Towers Lon The Met <br /> 0% 11% 14% 43% 54% <br /> <br /> <br /> This table is organized in order of project approval. There has been a trend toward increasing the <br /> percentage of tandem parking allowed for projects recently approved in this area. Staffs research has <br /> found that tandem parking can be successful if it is only used for one-bedroom apartments and if the <br /> stall is assigned to a specific unit. In addition, the apartment property manager must be experienced <br /> with managing tandem stalls, have a detailed parking management plan and actively enforce the use of <br /> the tandem stalls rather than allowing the second car to use guest stalls.
