Page 7 <br />enrollment, but exclusive of the parking need for houseparent suites) and parking <br />provision associated with those "normal" daytime requirements translate to a greater <br />need for parking support for visitors during those special events and programs. <br />The attached Table 1 is the result of an extensive collaboration with the Academy <br />team to identify the type and expected attendance levels, and more specifically the <br />"outside envelope" of parking needs in conjunction with each of these events. From <br />the table, it can be seen that the parking needs "snapshot" includes a "venue based" <br />calculation that considers the occupancy capacities of the two primary assembly areas <br />of the Academy Master Plan at full site development. Those are the "Black Box" <br />performing arts venue (with capacity for 200) as well as the Gymnasium proposed in <br />Phase 2 of the project. When set in a bleacher configuration, the gymnasium would <br />seat 500. With the bleachers folded away, the floor area available for public assembly <br />would convert to an attendance capacity of 558 based on a permitted occupancy ratio <br />of 15 square feet per person. <br />Irrespective of venue capacities, the table goes on to estimate peak attendance <br />populations in terms of attendees, which are converted to parking demand by use of <br />an AVR as defined in the table, or participating student households where a needed <br />parking ratio of 1 space per attending student household is applied. It should be noted <br />that these parking ratios and conversion factors are concluded to be conservative in <br />that they generally ignore the potential of arrival to the site by means of other than <br />private vehicle, with those means potentially including on -foot, drop off /pick up, <br />and/or public transportation. In the realm of home basketball or volleyball games, <br />they also generally ignore the potential for van and bus transportation by visiting <br />teams and fans. All in all, the focus of the table is to identify the range of peak <br />parking needs of this menu of events, and isolate the maximum expected parking <br />demand level as the basis for sizing potential off -site parking needs to be supported <br />by an Event Parking Management Plan. <br />Looking further to the table, other simultaneous parking needs to be considered in <br />parallel to the actual event are also considered. These include the presence of <br />faculty /staff as well as the background needs of parking for houseparents in the <br />"Family Units ". <br />Taken together, the array of parking demand projections in Table I indicate the <br />following: <br />Given an occupancy limit of 200 attendees, special events taking place on <br />weekday evenings and /or on weekends wholly in the "Black Box" may <br />require limited off -site parking support. The "design level" forecast parking <br />demand of 153 spaces coincident with those events would be nearly <br />accommodated by the site's permanent 146 -space supply, noting further that <br />after -hours use of the drop off /pick up lane for parking purposes would <br />$'3161 ,2111242.
