Page 5 values at other area high schools. From this, one might conclude that the results of a City code application are "heavy" when compared to actual observable parking needs. In other settings, LLG has observed that current teaching techniques appear to result in greater average square footage requirements per student than historically provided, so with student enrollment fixed, but with floor area growing, this could be one aspect driving the equivalent code requirement higher. Additionally, even after discounting the faculty /staff needs accounted for within this overall blended requirement of 0.47 (with faculty/staff needs included therein on the order of roughly 0.05 to 0.10 spaces per student depending on the faculty /staff- student ratio), it is highly unlikely that roughly 35% to 45% of Academy High School students will actually drive alone, then park at the campus, when the percent of students actually having a license, let alone access to a car, is expected to be less to much less. Looking to the student housing component, the City code (Section 41 -1327) requires one space per two beds, or one space per 80 sf of sleeping area, whichever is greater. Attachment A presents the code calculation (by City stafo according to each of these methodologies, which yield a code requirement of 48 spaces, and 45 spaces, respectively. LLG notes that the ratios input to these calculations are consistent with college dormitory parking needs, where essentially all student residents are licensed drivers, and about half of those college students bring a vehicle to campus. Given the high school orientation of this project, and the age - suppressed licensed driver considerations discussed above, it is unlikely that code - required dormitory parking needs, as an added element of overall campus need, will actually materialize. Instead, the parking recommendation of a blended campus parking ratio, to account for faculty, staff, total student (without distinction as to commuter or campus resident) and visitor need is a logical and convenient basis to determine the realistic number of parking spaces that will be needed at the Academy. The project does include eight 2- bedroom suites for houseparents within the "Family Units" student housing. Section 41 -1322 of the City's parking requirements speaks to multiple - family dwellings as the sum of three components, described as follows: A minimum requirement of one garage or carport space for each dwelling unit, plus additional off-street parking in an amount no less than one space for each bedroom, in an amount not less than the total number of bedrooms on the site, plus additive guest parking in an amount equal to 0.25% of the combination of the above two requirements. Taking these three components together, the raw code requirement for these houseparent suites, when treated as multiple - family dwellings, totals 3.75 spaces per S- •i2tr1311324? - The Audnly. $ ntn •ant ((nnfJmiJ.
