On weekdays (Mondays through Fridays), between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., where the proposed religious facility would exceed the available on-site parking, the proposed religious facility does not currently have access to the extra 125 off-site parking spaces. For this timeframe, as indicated in Table 1, the minimum number of parking spaces required by the PMC would be 101 spaces. Thus, the applicant is deficient by 33 spaces (101 required spaces — 68 on-site spaces = 33 spaces), based on a strict interpretation of the PMC's parking requirements. This deficit would only be seen if the auditorium were at capacity, and there would unlikely be actual conflicts among users, since the uses at both 7133 and 7077 Koll Center Parkway close at 5:00 p.m., leaving most spaces empty. However, it could result in unauthorized use of those adjacent office parking spaces. To remedy this, staff is recommending a condition of approval requiring the applicant to reduce the intensity of the planned activities during this timeframe and/or to secure additional adequate off-site parking for evenings, similar to Saturdays and Sundays. However, it should be noted that for other religious facilities, in addition to analyzing parking from the PMC perspective, as discussed above, staff often analyzes parking from a more practical perspective based on the applicant's anticipated maximum attendance numbers, and person per vehicle estimates for all planned activities. In this instance, the applicant has indicated that attendees for church activities will often arrive in groups, rather than driving alone, with typical per vehicle occupancy ranging from 1 .25 persons/vehicle for events and activities attended by single adults and couples; to 2.25 persons/vehicle for more family- oriented events held on evenings and weekends. Staff notes these ranges are consistent with other approved religious facilities in the City. Using these ratios, on weekdays (Mondays through Fridays), between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., staff has determined approximately 64 spaces (145 people on-site maximum / 2.25 persons per vehicle = 64 spaces) would be required to accommodate all planned activities for this timeframe. With 68 spaces on-site, a surplus of four spaces would be created. Although, from time to time it would be reasonable to expect some parking overflow for this timeframe; however, staff is unaware of any parking issues in the immediate vicinity of the subject parcel, and given most surrounding uses close at 5:00 p.m., staff believes any overflow during this timeframe can be reasonably absorbed by available off-site parking. Staff is recommending a condition of approval that gives the City the ability to monitor any parking issues and to require implementation of additional measures, such as securing agreements for additional parking spaces, or limiting the size of events, should problems arise. Staff also used this approach to analyze the other operating timeframes for the proposed religious facility.
