Steve Thatcher Parking Standards Memorandum 9/8/86 Page 2 <br />10 <br />RESEARCH DATA <br />For specific perking standards we researched the zoning codes of three <br />neighboring cities to Mounds View: Fridley, Spring Lake Park, and Blaine. We <br />also Included three cities in which we have considerable experience as planning <br />consultants: Roseville, Burnsville, and Mendota Heights. <br />We also Included standards from three prominent developers, either from <br />specific projects (the Ryan and MEPC date) or from several projects in <br />aggregate (the Marfleld study). Finally we consulted five national research <br />publications done independently from 1971 to 1986. <br />From these various sources we feel confident In concluding that a standard of <br />3.2/1000 for office use Is entirely adequate. Since this is the more Intense <br />use it will have more of an Impact than the warehouse figure. In order to <br />be on the conservative side, however, we have added a 10% safaty factor to <br />this for our final recommended parking figure. This yields a ratio of 3.5/1000 <br />for office use. For warehouse use we feel 1.0/1000 is adequate, and in ;act <br />many cities require only half this figure. <br />The table on the following page summarizes our findings. <br />
