Cumulative Parking Demand' (from Church, Heritage School, and Preschool Operations). If the proposed preschool is approved, Crosspoint Church would operate two programs Monday through Friday: 1) the existing 136-student heritage school, and 2) the proposed 49-student preschool, with a cumulative capacity of 185 students on premises. The concern is whether the allotted 128 parking spaces for both suites could handle the parking demand when both programs are operated at full capacity. When schools are in session, heritage school students arrive between 2:10-3:30 p.m. when the preschool is in session. The majority of heritage school students (approximately 75-80%, or 102-109 students) are picked-up between 6 — 6:30 p.m. when the preschool is already closed. Thus, the allotted 128 parking spaces could support the parking demand. During summer when schools are in recess, the heritage school operates a 100-student summer camp from 8:30 a.m. —6:30 p.m. Together with the proposed 49-student preschool, it would have a maximum of 149 students on the premises. Based on the projected drop-off/pick-up schedule included in Exhibit B, the peak parking demand would occur between 9 — 9:30 a.m. when 78 vehicles would arrive at the subject site to drop-off students: 38 vehicles to drop-off students at the existing heritage school and 40 vehicles to drop-off students at the proposed preschool. Additionally, there would be 29 staff members on-site for the church's administrative office, heritage school, and the proposed preschool. As such, the parking demand during this morning peak time is 107 spaces if everyone were to arrive approximately the same time. Staff finds the 128 "allocated" parking spaces would be sufficient to serve the projected parking demand during peak time, and adequate parking is available. However, should parking problems occur, staff has included a condition of approval which allows the Director of Community Development to refer the use permit back to the Planning Commission for possible mitigation measures (Exhibit A). Possible mitigating conditions could include: reducing the number of students, modifying the arrival/departure times, etc. As mentioned earlier, a parking agreement is in place for the existing heritage school. It designates the parking area located on the west side of the subject building for students' drop-off/pick-off. Thus, there should not be any confusion in terms of where to park during drop-off/pickup times for either program. Traffic and Circulation The Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the proposal for potential traffic impacts during peak hours. It determined, based on the applicant's narrative, the majority of the facility's operating hours are outside the peak traffic period; thus, no traffic impact fees would be required at this time. However, to verify the actual trips generated from the proposed preschool are similar to what are estimated/assumed in the project narrative, either Traffic Engineering staff or the City's on-call transportation consultant would monitor trip generation during the first year of the preschool operation. If the actual trip generation is reflective of the applicant's narrative, no further action will be needed. If the actual trip generation is greater than the narrative, the applicant would be required to pay the additional traffic impact fees or make ' Both heritage school and preschool would be closed for one week in July when Crosspoint Church holds a one- week VBS. Thus, VBS is not included in this analysis. P20-0740 and P20-0741, 5627 Gibraltar Drive Planning Commission Page 9of12
