STAFF REPORT to the <br />Planning Commission' <br />8(* f-SPE, 89-7-DR, 89-1-CUP: <br />FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL <br />Page 4 <br />I COOPERATIVE PARKING AGREEMENT <br />I FINDINGS <br />DISCUSSION <br />The current site provides for approximately 160 parking stalls for both the high <br />school and the library. Based upon comments from the School District and trans- <br />portation consultant's report (Attachment G, by Stephen B. Lovell and Associates, <br />dated July 18, 1989), the existing parking facility appears to be under-utilized. <br />The existing facility is designed for 600 students. The current enrollment is approx- <br />imately 420 students and approximately 50 teachers and administrative personnel. <br />The enrollment is not expected to appreciably increase soon. <br />The site plans shows a total of 376 parking stalls. The School District is proposing to <br />construct 282 with 62 shown on-site as future parking (to be constructed when the <br />need arises). There are 32 parking stalls available at the Showalter school during the <br />evenings when it is not in session or sponsoring an evening social function. The <br />376 parking stalls are distributed as follows: <br />On-site <br />Off -site <br />North parking lot <br />East parking lot <br />Visitor parking lot <br />Bus lanes parking <br />Future parking lot <br />Sub-total <br />112 stalls <br />144 stalls <br />10 stalls <br />16 stalls <br />62 stalls <br />344 stalls <br />Showalter Middle School 32 stalls <br />TOTAL 376 stalls <br />The proposed high school facility is designed to have an enrollment of 604 students, <br />70 teachers and administrative personnel, and. expected to have not more than 5 <br />visitors at any one time during the school day. <br />Based upon the current zoning code, 1279 on-site parking stalls would need to be <br />provided if each use contained within the proposed high school complex were pro- <br />vided for. The amount of land necessary to provide surface parking for 1279 parking <br />stalls is approximately 14.68 acres (6 500 SF/parking stall). <br />The analysis of the required parking (per TMC 18.56.050) is as follows: <br />114 <br />
