  • How many underground parking stalls are planned for tenants? How many above ground are for tenants, and reserved for nearby business tenants? There are 42 surface parking stalls shown in diagrams, but these are likely all required by tenants of the BelJan business complex? Has the City Technical Review counted the vehicles parked on the vacant lot each day (there are 28 parking bunkers, as well as cars on the grass). What is the City projection of how many vehicles will be added to this area with 100 living units? What is the average number of vehicles per 2 bedroom apartment? I speculate the average could be between 1.0 and 1.5, how is this dead end street, as well as parking obligations to nearby business complex, going to support this?

    Thank you for your questions.  A Traffic Briefing was submitted with this application that generally explores the parking, trip generation, and other traffic impacts related to this development. Some of the details and related context from this report have been provided below, and you may wish to view this report here: https://engaged.edmonton.ca/20537/widgets/82291/documents/51307

    The applicant has indicated in their Traffic Brief that they intend to develop a total of 93 parking spaces through a combination of their underground parkade and surface parking areas. It is also their stated intention to allocate approximately 19 of these stalls to implement an owner-operated shared-use parking program for employee and visitor parking associated with the Lynnwood Commercial Building. The Traffic Brief also noted that the existing surface lot sees historical utilization of about 15 to 20 vehicles.

    The 100 dwellings proposed by this development is estimated to generate 35 trips in the AM peak hour, 42 trips in the PM peak hour, and approximately 584 trips per day. This does not include trips that may make use of any of the on-site shared parking that already occurs on this site and is expected to continue with the new development. The residual capacity of the commercial lane can accommodate this increase in traffic.

    It should also be noted that City Council voted to enable Open Option Parking city-wide, effective July 2, 2020. This change generally allows homeowners and businesses to choose how much on-site parking to provide on their properties. In addition to the removal of parking minimums, Open Option Parking also enabled opportunities for businesses and homeowners to share parking or lease out space to nearby properties to make more efficient use of vehicle parking spaces.
