MEMORANDUM
TO: Igor Jahynacz DATE: Dec. 3, 1992
City Engineer
FROM: Ike De Boer PROJECT: #

Project/Traffic Technician

SUBJECT: Parking Restrictions to Multi-Family Complexes

RECOMMENDATION:

That Bylaw 1117, Schedule 'A' be amended to include multi-family access
points in the parking regulations section 1 (e).

BACKGROUND :

A letter of request (attached) was written by the Strata Council at 1386
Lincoln Drive to install 'No Parking’ signs adjacent to the entrance to
the complex. This request along with numerous others in the last couple of
months has prompted a review cf the current regulations for parking
restrictions adjacent to multi-family complexes.

REVIEW PROCEDURE:

In order to estimate the traffic volume that is generated from a multi-
family complex (no manual counts were done), an information report from
The Institute of Transportation Engineers titled Trip Generation was used.
dThis report has studied vehicle trips from various types of dwelling
units, latest revision was done in 1979 so numbers may be slightly higher
than what was used for in this memo.

The attached figure 1 shows various types of dwelling units and their
related trips per unit. For this study the above mentioned complex was
used (68 units) with a condominium (average) number used.

For 68 units at an average weekday of 5.1 trips daily this equals 347
total trips in and out of the complex. No numbers were available for
weekend trips. The movement volume is in some cases higher than at a local

intersection.
