<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Roseville, MN: We reached out to the City of Roseville, and we spoke we Thomas Paschke, - the <br />City Planner. He confirmed that Roseville requires one parking space per four seats for places of <br />assembly, such as event centers. He also added that event centers also fall under the usage of <br />Convention Centers whose parking requirement would be the same is place of assembly. This <br />standard effectively balances the need for adequate parking while avoiding excessive allocation <br />of space. Adopting a similar requirement in Arden Hills ensures consistency with regional norms <br />and supports our venue’s operational needs. <br />Shoreview, MN: We reached out to the city of Shoreview and this city does not have specific <br />requirement for an event center, but Izaak Peterson-city planner recommended that an event <br />center would fall under the Commercial Recreation use. Typically, the city requires one parking <br />space per three seats for such facilities. This alignment with the proposed ratio further supports <br />the feasibility and practicality of implementing the same standard in Arden Hills, ensuring our <br />city’s standards are consistent with neighboring communities. <br />Oakdale MN: We reached out to the City of Oakdale, Luke McClanahan the city planner said <br />event centers would fall under the category of Churches, Theaters, Auditoriums, or Other Places <br />of Assembly and the minimum parking requirements would be one car per four seats. This is <br />similar to what Arden Hills currently has for this category with the exception of the event center <br />which is not listed in the city code. The current requirement for this category for Arden Hills is <br />one car per three people. <br />Saint Paul, MN: Saint Paul has recently eliminated minimum parking requirements for most <br />properties, including event centers (City of St Paul Code). This policy shift aims to support <br />economic development, reduce construction costs, and promote sustainability by encouraging <br />alternative transportation modes. While this approach is more flexible than our proposal, it <br />underscores the trend toward less restrictive parking requirements in urban planning. By <br />adopting a one car per three seats ratio, Arden Hills can strike a balance between flexibility and <br />practicality, reflecting modern planning principles. <br />Practical and Environmental Considerations: <br />Usage Patterns Event centers typically host a variety of events, including conferences, <br />weddings, and performances, where attendees often carpool. This results in a higher average car <br />occupancy compared to other facilities like restaurants or recreational centers. A parking ratio of <br />one car per three seats accurately reflects these usage patterns, ensuring adequate parking <br />without over-provisioning. <br />Environmental Benefits: Adopting a parking standard of one car per three seats supports Arden <br />Hills’ commitment to sustainability. It encourages carpooling and the use of alternative <br />transportation, which helps reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Additionally, this <br />approach aligns with urban planning trends that prioritize efficient land use and minimize
