This Memo shall serve as our Narrative and Calculations related to the Parking Analysis.
The existing 701 Building contains a total of 98,273 Gross SF. Of that, 11,771 SF is non occupied
Equipment Area. In previous discussions, you had agreed that we could exclude that area, as it relates to
the parking requirements, thus reducing the Gross SF to 86,502 SF. Based on a ratio of 1 space per 300
SF, we calculate that 288 parking spaces are required.
The proposed Data Center Expansion will occupy a major portion of the south parking lot. This building
will be an Accessory Use and be un- occupied, thus requiring no parking. The total parking spaces on site,
taking into account the displaced parking, will be 209 spaces, leaving a deficit of 79 spaces.
Since the 701 Building and the 720 Building are linked via a Pedestrian Connector, you had indicated that
we can include any excess parking on the 720 site to the 701 site. The 720 Building contains 133,440
Gross SF and 652 parking spaces vs. the required 445 spaces, leaving a surplus of 207 spaces.
By allocating 79 spaces from the surplus parking of the 720 Building to the 701 Building, we will be left with
a surplus of 128 parking spaces.
Please call should you have any questions.
