<br />Parking Study for Tibyan Community Center <br /> <br />The Tibyan Community Center’s parking study indicates that the property provides sufficient <br />parking for both its worship space and daily activities. With 81 existing parking stalls and an <br />additional 21 stalls being added, the total number of parking spaces will be 102, which is <br />adequate for the center's needs. <br /> <br />• Worship Space: The center has a total space of 4,000 square feet, with 3,000 square feet <br />allocated as the actual prayer area. Based on a standard of 15 square feet per worshipper, <br />the center can accommodate up to 200 worshippers. <br />• Parking Allocation: According to the parking study, 2.5 parking slots are required for <br />every 200 worshippers, translating to the need for approximately 80 stalls, which the <br />center exceeds with its planned 102 stalls. <br /> <br />Additionally, due to ongoing considerations related to climate change, cities like Minneapolis are <br />reducing parking requirements, encouraging more sustainable transportation options. <br />The Tibyan Community Center's parking plan aligns with these changes, providing ample space <br />for both students and worshippers. <br /> <br />Additionally, a designated drop-off/pick-up lane on the west side of the building will <br />accommodate up to 15 stacked cars, ensuring smooth pick-up and drop-off for children without <br />impacting overall traffic flow. Due to the nature of youth programs, with parents typically <br />dropping off children and returning only for pick-up, the usage of parking will be limited. Most <br />vehicles are expected to exit shortly after drop-off. The map below provides additional details of <br />the parking plan. <br />88
