=====================================================================

Per the request of the Planning Commission, staff has conducted a survey to find out how other cities regulate the number of spaces required per unit. As demonstrated below, the City of New Brighton's requirement of two (2) spaces per unit, one (1) of which must be enclosed, is not unlike other cities. Of the Cities that were contacted, none required underground parking. The following are the results:

City	Parking Spaces required for apartments per unit
New Brighton	2 spaces	1 must be enclosed
Roseville	2 spaces	1 must be enclosed
Shoreview	2.5 spaces
