Updated Response, p 20
Initial Response - Additional Information
TCC has included the following additional information to supplement previous sections. While much of this information was included in PC-CCT’s Initial Response and in TCC’s Supplemental Response, additions and modifications have been made in this Updated Initial Response as well.
Design and Proposed Use Considerations
Parking:
Existing site includes virtually no on-site parking. As such, parking is a key consideration for the development of the site. PC-CCT understands parking within the Downtown district is exempt from strict parking requirements. However, TCC strove to develop a proposal that would create activity and energy at The Chelsea Connection without overwhelming the available parking at and near the site.
Estimated parking demand for proposed uses:
Building/Floor/Space: Peak Parking Load
Showroom: 5
Mack – First 20 (reduced from previous 40)
Mack – Second and patio 50
Livery - First 10
Livery – Second 10
Note, demand for first and second floor parking is not likely to peak at the same time. Peak diversified load for the entire complex is estimated at about 60-70 vehicles.
New on-site parking:
Enclosed/ secure/ partially conditioned parking in First floor of Livery: approximately 8.
Open parking at rear of Livery: Several parking spots (approximately 10, possibly covered) will be added behind the Livery, for Livery occupants and Church patrons, replacing 2 gravel parking spots.
Nearby parking considerations:
General PC-CCT/TCC philosophy on downtown parking: While ample parking is desirable, an overabundance of parking can make downtown feel disjointed and deserted a large portion of the time. We feel that it may be better for users to park half a block away during peak times, than to have vast parking areas that impede connectivity of activity and remain empty most of the time.
