proposal. Under the apartment standard 72 spaces (48 6-bed suites) would be required, and under the dormitory standard 86.40 spaces would be required. In addition, the Associate Planner's Report dated January 5, 2000 indicated that the college would be taking the following steps to reduce the apparent parking problem: . Freshmen will not be allowed to have cars on campus. For special needs a small number of spaces will be allotted and available by appeal. . Shuttle service will be expanded to allow for increased student needs. . Car-pooling incentives are being implemented for faculty and staff. . A vehicle registration fee, of $40 per semester, will be implemented for all students. This registration fee, similar to that levied at other area schools, will be used for purposes sueh as increased shuttle service, lot security, and the construction and maintenance of new and existing parking lots. Staff would recommend that the applicant provide the Planning Commission and Council with a letter updating the City on these parking measures, and indicating any additional changes that the College has planned to handle future parking demands. 8. Traffic Impacts - Not Addressed The Special Use Permit (78-5) in condition #6 states that: "Traffic generated by the normal college use shall not exceed volumes anticipated for low to medium density (approximately 3 to 4.5 dwelling units per acre) residential development of the site (approximately 3,200 to 3,300 trips per day)". Since the dormitory was already included in the Master Plan in a different location (southern portion of the campus) staff does not anticipate that traffic would be increased beyond levels allowed in the Special Use Permit. The applicant, or the applicant's designee, should be on hand at the March 3rd meeting to address questions on traffic at the campus. Staff Recommendation Staff would recommend that the applicant submit a letter with more narrative information; particularly regarding the relocation of the dormitory from the southern portion of the campus to the proposed location, and also describing the parking and traffic situations on the campus. In addition, staff would also recommend that the applicant submit a narrative or plans which clearly state the square feet of the proposed dormitory. Finally, a revised landscape plan and planting schedule should be required. Staff has included this as a condition of approval. In Planning Case #04-02 staff recommends approval ofthe Special Use Permit (Fifth) Amendment/Master Plan and approval ofthe Site Plan subject to the following conditions: \\Earth\PJanniog\Planning Cases\2004\04-02 Bethel SUP Amendment for dormitory (PENDING)\03-03-04 PC Report BctheLdoc Page 70f9 ., e . .
