Memorandum
To: Gerald Gatobu, Senior Planner
From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator
Division: Zoning & Current Development
Date: June 12, 2008
Subject: Parking Determination — LTACH, Northridge and Sieg Warehouse (TM 59,
Parcels 23B and 2381)
I have reviewed the parking study submitted by Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. for the University of
Virginia for this project. At this time, I am giving preliminary approval to the parking projections and
proposal. Prior to final site plan approval, I suggest that they conduct an additional parking analysis of
vacant spaces to confirm their presumptions for actual parking occupancy during peak hours.
Their study included the following:
• Parking inventory and actual occupancy on December 5, 2007 at four different times each of
which was two hours apart;
• Examining monthly patient activity reports for December as compared to other months to
determine the seasonal variation. This exercise resulted in a finding that the December data
should be increased by 8.3% to account for the slightly lower than average December patient
activity.
• Use of parking generation rates published in Parking Generation by I.T.E. This is the industry
standard manual which is referenced in our parking regulations for use in parking studies;
• In addition some of the parking assumptions for comparison usage include use of County
standards such as the 1 space per 4 beds for convalescent home for the LTACH facility.
The proposed project involves two different site plans which are necessary to allow development of the
Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH). The proposed project involves moving parking for the
current employees of the Northridge facility to the Sieg Warehouse property. In addition, this parking
area will serve the employees of the new LTACH. Parking to serve the expansion of the Moser
Radiation facility will also be provided on the Sieg Warehouse property.
The proposed uses which will result from the completed projects on these properties are as follows:
1. Northridge medical office building (parcel 23B) — no change in use;
2. Kirtley realty building (parcel 23131) — no known change in use;
3. Kirtley warehouse (parcel 23B1) — may potentially be used in part as a County fire station with
some possible remaining warehouse use;
4. Proposed LTACH on Kirtley property (parcel 2381);
5. Proposed radiation facility associated with LTACH on Kirtley property (parcel 23131);
6. Sieg warehouse (parcel 23C1) — maintenance facility;
7. Moser radiation (parcel 23C) — expansion in same use
In summary, I recommend the following conditions of preliminary site plan approval (for both plans)
relating to parking:
1. One or more additional parking studies shall be conducted throughout a typical business day to
determine actual parking occupancy,

2. Both site plans shall either be combined into one site plan or shall be approved together so the
LTACH development may not proceed without the parking and circulation infrastructure
provided with the Moser Radiation site plan;
3. The final site plan shall detail the following:
a. Existing and proposed parking
b. Parking requirements and provisions for each of the uses on all of these properties
c. The cumulative requirements and
d. Any provisions to enforce /implement the restrictions for employee parking, such as
signage and the like.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
