Pastor Beard of Trinity Lutheran indicated that as Trinity Lutheran church is oriented toward the <br />north (Golden Road), the parking lot on Golden Road has been used as the primary lot for the <br />facility while the parking lot on Del Valle Parkway has been served as a secondary parking area. <br />Due to the 1999 expansion, ten (10) of the parking spaces that were located north of Early <br />Childhood Daycare (located on the adjoining parcel) accessed from Golden Road were relocated <br />to Del Valle Parkway site. However, the intention has been always to relocate them back when <br />the church is undergoing the last phase of construction. Pastor Beard pointed out, during the <br />weekday, the parking lot on Del Valle Parkway side has hardly been used. During congregation, <br />the parking spaces on Golden Road get filled first then traffic overflows to the Del Valley <br />Parkway side. <br />To verify on-site parking during congregation, staff did a field count on Sunday, January 7, 2007 <br />and on Sunday, January 14, 2007. The following table shows the parking counts. <br /> 8:00 Service 10:00 Service <br />Sunday, January 7, 2007 <br />Del Valley Parkway Side 19 spaces occupied 43 spaces occupied, plus 5 <br />(a total of 44 parkin s aces) cars arked alon the curb <br />Golden Road Side 38 spaces occupied All occupied, plus 3 cars <br />(a total of 51 parking spaces) parked in unstriped area; <br /> 10 cars parked along the street <br /> curb in front the church and <br /> the swimmin club. <br />Sunday, Janua 14, 2007 <br />Del Valley Parkway Side -- All occupied, plus 3 cars <br />(a total of 44 arkin s aces) arked alon the curb <br />Golden Road Side -- All occupied, plus 2 cars <br />(a total of 51 parking spaces) parked in an unstriped area; 7 <br /> cars arked alon the curb. <br /> <br />Staff notes that the City Council has recently indicated that it realizes that the existing code for <br />parking does not adequately address the current needs of church attendance. Despite the fact <br />that the number of existing on-site parking exceeds what is required by the current code, the <br />parishioners have been using parking on the streets. The church proposed additional on-site <br />parking to alleviate the existing impacts. <br />Case No. PCUP-I55/PDR-513 Plunr:irzg Commission <br />Page - 1 ? - <br />
