ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION –JUNE 19, 20138 <br />Parking requirements are determined by the specific types of land uses proposed for a site. The <br />Lexington Station Master Plan includes retail, restaurant, and office uses. The number of parking <br />spaces required is based on gross sales floor space for retail uses, gross floor area for office uses, <br />and seating capacity for restaurant uses. In this case, the exact parking requirements are unclear <br />because the final list of tenants has yet to be determined. Different tenants may require different <br />floor layouts that would impact the amount of gross retail floor area or the number of restaurant <br />seats, thus impacting the number of requiredparking stalls. <br />For the purpose of this application, Staff calculated the gross retail sales space of the <br />development assuming 20 percent of total retail square footage would be used for non-sales <br />purposes. This same percentage was used by Staff previously in Planning Case #09-011 when <br />determining the parking requirements for retail uses in the Arden Plaza Planned Unit <br />Development. An additional assumption was made that the two proposed restaurant tenants in <br />the Phase I building would have a total seatingcapacity of 90. The following table outlines the <br />parking requirement numbers for the development. The employee parking proposed for Phase I <br />would be located off site on the adjacent properties. As a condition of approval, an agreement <br />that provides sharedparking between the three properties, as well as shared ingress, egress, and <br />maintenance of these areas, will be required. <br />Phase One Parking Requirements <br />Land Use Total Square Required Stalls <br />Footage/Seating Capacity <br />Retail -1 space per 150 SF of10,671 SF 57 <br />gross sales floor space <br />Restaurant -1 space per 2 seats 90 seats 45 <br />Requirement 102 <br />Proposed* 109 <br />% of Required Spaces 107% <br />*Includes 33 employee parking spaces, some of which are located on the Phase II and III <br />sites <br />Master Plan Parking Requirements <br />Land Use Total Square Required Stalls <br />Footage/Seating Capacity <br />Retail -1 space per 150 SF of 63,599 SF 339 <br />gross sales floor space <br />Restaurant -1 space per 2 seats 90 seats 45 <br />General Office -1 space per 250 20,000 SF 80 <br />SF <br />Requirement 464 <br />Proposed* 423 <br />% of Required Spaces 91% <br />*Includes 80 underground parking stalls <br /> <br />
