Since the parking to person ratio will increase slightly with the proposed expansion and since there is additional room on the campus for parking ifneeded, 2090 parking spaccs is likely . sufficient for the proposed uses and population. It should be noted that since Northwestern College does not have a vehicle entrance in Arden Hills, there should not be an issue with on- street parking in Arden Hills. As noted above, the College is proposing to construct two parking garage on the Campus. One of the garages would be entirely within Arden Hills and the other garage would straddle the border with Roseville. The parking garages would have a combined capacity ofbetwccn 690 and 840 parking stalls.
