LTA 0 <br />+ P A R T N E R S <br />dwelling unit types include Studios, One -Bedroom, One -Bedroom plus Loft, Two - <br />Bedroom, Three -Bedroom and Live/Work unit types. <br />The 468 parking stalls include 53 stalls that are shared amongst the potential <br />residential guests and retail patrons. These 53 parking spaces are located on the ground <br />floor and will be reserved for guests and shared with the two on-site modestly sized retail <br />tenants. The remaining 415 parking spaces will be solely devoted to the 260 residential <br />units. Below is a breakdown of how the 415 residential parking stalls are being allocated <br />towards the 260 residences. <br />PARKING BREAKDOWN BY UNIT TYPE <br />STUDIO (1 SPACE) <br />1BDR/1BA (2 SPACES; TANDEM) <br />3BA12BA (2 SPACES; T <br />TOTAL RESID.

The analysis above also <br />illustrates the proposed project dedicates two parking spaces to 155 residences <br />(60% oftotal residential units). Within these 155 residences. 104one-bedroom units <br />are allocated two parking stalls. The remaining 105 residences (studio and one - <br />bedroom units) would be provided with one parking space. <br />According to Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone Section 4.8(A)(3)(c) "Mixed-use <br />Developments with less than 10 percent of the gross floor area devoted to a commercial <br />activity. A minimum of 2.0 spaces per residential or live/work unit inclusive of guest <br />parking and any nonresidential uses." <br />The Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone is currently undergoing internal staff <br />discussion and a "technical review" to consider alternatives to the current 2.Ostalls per <br />unit parking requirement. One of the alternative options to replace the current parking <br />requirements include a 1.8 parking ratio over the entire MEMU Overlay Zone.
