The sources of our information include not only Twin Cities Metropolitan Area zoning ordinances, but studies done by and for private developers, and Independent national research publications. As might be expected, the standards vary somewhat, but we feel confident In proposing a parking :atlo which Is consistent with the pattern we see emerging from all these sources. Based an the research we have done we recommend the following standards: Office: 3.5 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA (gross leasable area) Warehouse: 1.0 space per 1,000 sq ft GLA The application of these standards to a specific building will depend on the mix of office and warehouse space within that building.

We are degigning the development bRApd on an absolute worst -case scenario of 100% office for the Office/Service buildings and a 50/50 mix of office and warehouse for the Light Industrial buildings. Translating this to :he specific buildings proposed in the JLN development we arrive at the following ratios for ultimate development: Office/Service Buildings: 3.50 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA / Light industrial Buildings: 2.25 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA
