Justification for Parking Modification Request.
a. The code required parking for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club based on the city’s “other
recreation” land use category is approximately 10 times greater than the estimated peak parking
demand that would be created by the proposed volleyball training facility. The Kraken Volleyball
Center would actually result in less trips and required parking spaces per day than the current
warehouse use. The estimated peak parking demand of the site is estimated to be 26 parking
stalls which would occur between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM on weeknights. Therefore, the 140 on-
site parking stalls shared with Baden Sports , would be able to accommodate the code required
parking for Baden Sports as well as the estimated peak parking demand for the proposed
Kraken Volleyball Club. It should be noted that the hours of operation for Baden Sports
company is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, which is opposite hours than Kraken Volleyball
Club’s use.
b. As the proposed volleyball facility will have less traffic and parking impact than the current
warehouse use, and there are is no construction or alterations to the property, the proposed
volleyball activity will meet all objectives concerning, safety, function, appearance,
environmental protection and maintainability intended by the code requirements.
c. Additionally, the volleyball facility will have no injurious impact to other properties in the vicinity
as it will actually result in less traffic and parking use.
d. Thereby the volleyball facility will conform to the intent and purpose of the code.
e. A parking impact assessment and resulting memo were created by TenW, a transportation
consulting agency, which resulted in justification showing that the parking impact will actually be
reduced as a result of the change of use.
f. And will not create adverse impacts to other property(s) in the vicinity.
