VII. PLANNERS' REPORT
A. APARTMENT PARKING STUDY
Franzen presented an apartment parking study that was completed in the City. He
stated the study was done because of the Mitchell Crossing project, which is going
to City Council on July 17. The results were included in the packet. The Planning
Staff completed a survey of 24 apartments between June 13 and 20, 2012 to gather
information on indoor and surface parking use. The survey did include phone calls
to property managers and field surveys of surface parking use. Given the results of
the study, Franzen feels the City is right on with the apartment parking.
Pitzrick asked if the Council expresses concern over parking, could they suggest
the project proponent use the lot across the street for parking. Franzen said yes,
that could be used for proof of parking. Pitzrick said that would be great to have
that for an option.
VIII. MEMBERS' REPORT
