_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for April 24, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-008 - Lexington Station - Master PUD Amendment and Final PUD Phase 2\Memos_Reports_17-008 Page 4 of 10 Off-Street Parking Spaces Required The Lexington Station development is expected to include retail, restaurant, and office uses. The Zoning Code provides the following parking requirements for these uses:  Retail: 1 stall for each 150 sq. ft. of gross retail sales floor space  Office: 1 stall for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area  Restaurant: 1 stall for every 2 seats The exact parking requirements cannot be determined because the mix of different businesses has yet to be determined. Staff calculated the parking requirement assuming all building space would be used for retail. To develop a more conservative estimate, staff did not subtract out any non-retail sales floor space (e.g. storage space, offices). Based on the total area of 65,313 square feet, 436 parking stalls would be needed. The plans indicate a total of 413 stalls.
