S.A. - Page 290 of 302 ■Dorman Associates COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE Parking Analysis: The Children's Center will accommodate employees in the parking garage below the center. The center will have an estimated 25 employees, and the recommended base parking for an employee is 1 space per 1.5 employees or .75 spaces x 25 employees = 18. Of these spaces, at least 1 will be a dedicated handicap space. The underground garage as designed satisfies this parking demand and provides direct and secure access to the center via a dedicated internal elevator for employees. Based on child drop off requirements as observed at other similar centers, we found that the peak time period is from 7:00 am to 9:30 am with 90% of the children arriving during that time frame. Typically it takes a parent approximately 15 minutes to drop off a preschool age student and approximately 25 minutes to drop off an infant. We are using that as a basis for our parking analysis which would mean an average peak number of 36 drop-offs during a peak hour or based on a drop-off time of 15-25 minutes per student, 12 spaces would be necessary every 20 minutes. Given that this can fluctuate quickly over the 30 minutes; a more conservative option would be for 14 spaces for every 20 minutes. Remarkably, the peak pick-up numbers, mirror the drop off numbers. The peak time for pick-up tends to be 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Similarly, 14 spaces for the two 20 -minute periods that reach the maximum of 24% mirrors the drop-off rates and data. The applicant has provided sufficient parking by proposing designated short term parking along Lathrop at the entry to the center. The same short-term drop-off parking can be used for rideshare services Sincerely, Chris Dorman, AIA Dorman Associates, Inc.
