RE: Old Trail Village, Blocks 1 & 2 Shared Parking Analysis
Dear Mr. Collins:
Fax (434) 972 -4126
You have provided a parking analysis that supports the provision of 449 parking spaces to serve
Blocks 1 & 2 in Old Trail Village. Proposed Block 1 uses include 78 residential units, 20,898
square feet of gross leasable area of restaurant /retail, 20,898 square feet of gross leasable area
for office and 7,216 square feet for an athletic facility. Proposed Block 2 includes 10,500 square
feet of gross leasable area of office space as well as a facility for the elderly consisting of 40
assisted living beds and 78 congregate care dwelling units and 40 employees.
agree with the conclusion of your Parking Analysis, dated May 5, 2009, that a shared parking
arrangement utilizing 449 parking spaces to serve the proposed uses is reasonable. This is based
primarily on the difference in peak demand for parking between the office use and the residential,
restaurant/ retail & athletic facility uses described below. I also found it to be significant that this is
a reduction of 20.5% which is less than the 35% allowed by the ordinance in section 4.12.10.d.
The basis for this approval is further explained as follows:
1. The zoning ordinance requires 392 spaces for Block 1 (assuming the shopping center standard
for developments containing between 200,001 and 600,000 gross leasable area) and 173 spaces
for Block 2 based on section 4.12.6.

Total required spaces per zoning ordinance for Block 1 & 2 = 565
Total provided spaces on Blocks 1 & 2. 449
Deficit 116
Percentage of reduction 20.5%
This calculation does not include a reduction of required parking based on sharing between staff
and congregate care residential units.
2. Your analysis, based on ULI figures, indicates that Block 1 will experience an overall maximum
parking demand of 424 spaces and that Block 2 will require 107 spaces. This results in a deficit
of 82 spaces with the provision of 449 spaces. The percentage of this reduction is 15 %.
3. It is recognized that the residential, restaurant/retail and athletic facility all share a peak
demand around 6 P.M. (Block 1) However, this is off set by the office use that experiences a
different peak time.
4. As Old Trail Village has been developed as a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, it is anticipated
that many of the patrons of the village and residents of the neighborhood will consider walking, as
well as other modes, as a reasonable mode of transportation.
5. The pool in Block 3 is not adjacent to Blocks 1 & 2. It is not factored into this determination. At
this time, the additional parking that would be provided by Block 3 will not be necessary, but it is
recognized that there are future shared parking opportunities in Block 3. In the event that parking
issues become evident in Old Trail Village later, available parking opportunities within Block 3
may be explored during the course of future development.
Please contayou have questions.
