Preliminary Planned Residential Development Planning Commission Report; 5-21-19 Page 32 (cont.)  Dominium also provided the following write-up regarding the above data and their proposed parking ratio: The intent of the parking ratio analysis was to conclude both upper and lower parameters of a parking ratio. On the high end, the older and sometimes over-parked market rate buildings would have too much parking for an affordable project like this and are in the 1.8-1.9 range. On the low end, the central TOD projects are closer to 1.05. As this family project is not TOD, we believe the correct parking ratio would lie somewhere in the middle. To quantify parking needs on affordable housing and illustrate how that is different from other housing types, Dominium prepared and provided Occupancy Calculations. The analyses looked at the residents of two currently owned Dominium projects - Lakewood (Lino Lakes) and Albertville Meadows (Albertville). Based on those projects, a “load factor” was calculated to quantify the number of adults and minors that would live in each unit type. That was then used to calculate the quantity of the residents of the hypothetical apartment community. From there, Dominium calculates how many cars these people will have. For the family site, it was found that the residents would have 217 cars and so the 239 stalls would be sufficient for this population. This is a custom approach to understanding the parking needs of an affordable housing community as the demographics can’t always be compared to a market rate or condominium project on a parking ratio basis.
