Zoning has no objection and approves the applicant's proposed parking minimum of 160

Encompass Health operates 131 physical rehabilitation hospitals across the United States (see
letter titled "RE: UVA Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital Parking Requirements" dated
July 3, 2018) and has an understanding of the parking demand these types of facilities generate,
Zoning has no objection to their standard calculations and recommendation of the total parking
requirement for 80 beds being 160 required parking spaces.
If this number or calculation significantly changes Zoning asks that the applicant re -submit a
parking request for Zoning approval.
Acknowledged. No changes to the parking counts have been proposed at this time.
