To that end, staff requested the applicants provided further detailed information on time of day parking needs during the weekday and on weekends based on the historical needs of this site and other similar Benedictine facilities. The analysis dated 2/14/2019 is attached to this report.  Unsurprisingly, the parking need during daytime hours (from 7 am to 3 pm) are heavily slanted towards staff, the evening hours (3 pm to 9 pm) are heavily slanted to potential visitors, and there is very little demand for parking during nighttime hours (9 pm to 7 am).  Each portion of the analysis assumes the worst-case parking scenario for residents who may still be driving (i.e. that all such spots are filled throughout the day), and makes reasonable assumptions regarding the number of visitors the facility might see on a normal day.  Underground parking spaces will be assigned to both residents and senior staff members, so there will not be a scenario in which covered parking will go unused or be inaccessible.  Based on the provided data, staff is inclined to find the proposed amount of parking on site will be adequate for this use based on the age of residents and anticipated staffing levels. Should parking problems arise though, underground spaces assigned to assisted living and independent living units shall reallocated as necessary to address the problem.
