A newly created pedestrian spine will strengthen campus circulation and enhance safely by seporoting pedestrian and vehicular traffic . 2 A new connection from the drop-off circle to the field w ill be created along the south side of the sile . MAR IN ACADEMY SCIENCE AND INNOVATION CENTER lED SIGI The proposed site for the Science and Innovation Center at Morin Academy was specifically chosen to have the least impact on neighbors, to preserve views to and from the site, and to improve existing site circulation and pedestrian safety. Key Elements • The Science and Innovation Center will be located to the east of Foster HolI, north of Thacher Hall, and south of the old Gym, along a hillside adjacenl to the athletic field. • A new connection from the drop-off circle to the field will be creoted along the south side of the site. • A newly created pedestrian spine will strengthen campus circulation ond enhance sofety by separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic . e The project will have no impact on the total number of porking spaces available on campus. Sit e Fea tu es and Con Ira · Is Ex is ti ng edwaod Tre e The locolion of the proposed building respects the location of the existing large redwood tree to the south. A deck under the redwood tree will be carefully constructed to protect the existing root structure. The design team has held meetings with several arborists to discuss the appropriate distance between any new construction and the tree trunk 10 ensure the protection and preservation of the existing redwood tree. V iews The proposed location of the new Science and Innovation Center at Morin Academy allows the building to be tucked into the existing hillside, minimizing the overall moss of the building. Views ore maintained across the site, including all views of Mt. Tamalpais and the hills to the soulh. Drainage an d Stor water Ra i \.ja de s The proposed landscaping will use a combination of bio-retention areas and permeable pavement to treat and mitigate site stormwater runoff. The stormwater treatment area required by the Morin County Hydrology Manual Guidelines has been exceeded by 1600sf. (7 times mare area than required) These measures will reduce the peak flow of stormwater leaving the site by 20%. The bia-retention areas also provide on on·site educational opportunity for science students. See the Hydrology Report for more information. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be submitted with plans for a building permit and will address erosion control measures during construction . ORB NARRATIVE 3 4 Geotechnica l Issues Initial geotechnical studies found that the building site has bedrock a shallow distance below the proposed foundation, making this site an ideal building location. A complete geotechnical report is included in our Formal application . Utility Service . All uti lities are available at the site. Utility connections will be installed underground . Campus Aerial and Context Map MARIN ACADEMY SCIENCE AND INNOVATION CENTER edes tr ia n Spine The proposed project creates a pedestrian spine that connects the south campus to the north, academics to athletics. This spine separates pedestrian traffic from vehicular traffic on campus, improving pedestrian safely. Access to the Soc er Fie l d The Design Review Board expressed concern for the design of the new staircases proposed along the south and east building elevations with up to 20-step runs without a landing. Based on these comments, the site stoirs have been redesigned to hove a shallower rise and to accommodote generous landings. The stair along the south of the building was reconfigured to bend towards the seating area at the field level and to provide a more generous width. The stair at the north of the Science and Innovotion Center was moved east to avoid disturbing the root structure of the existing oak trees along that hillside and to ovoid the 20' clearance around the soccer field . [see sheetl4.02) arking The total number of parking spaces on campus will remain unchanged by the proposed project. Parking spaces will be added to the North Parking Lot and along the edge of the service road to replace those lost at the east side of Foster Hall. The North Parking lot will be modified to meet all fire code and access requirements . See the Fire Access Plan on sheet AO.ll. The proposed design consolidates parking on campus, improving site circulation and pedestrian safety.

MARIN ACADEMY SCIENCE AND INNOVATlON CENTER LANDSCAPE DES GN The siting of the building was chosen in part to optimize the exterior landscape areas, striking a balance belween the needs of the bUilding and the constraints of the site. Science Court A new garden landscape will transform a small parking lot east of Foster Hall into a vitalized, experiential learning space. Science learning will be allowed to spill out of the classrooms into this court, supporting outdoor, hands~on science education . An accessible path will weave through the science court along the east side of Foster Hall. Notural science exhibits such as roin gardens for stormwoter conveyance and treatment, and native habitat and plant communities will be integrated in the court. The court will also include multiple outdoor classroom and gathering areas, such as a terraced seati ng area. Redwoo eck Th e new building is sited to preserve the redwood tree fa the south of the proposed bUilding. A redwood deck will connect Thacher Hall (the existing science building) to the new Science and Innovation Center. The raised deck will utilize drilled piers to protect the root structure of the large redwood tree belween the Iwo buildings. The deck will become a unique outdoor space for the cqmpus, and will provide a shaded perch for fans fa watch athletic play on the field below. 56 new trees are b ein g p lanted, including redwoods, oaks and other trees, to enhance the existing redwood and oak groves, and replace those trees that were removed for construction of the building. ORB NARRATIVE 7 8 Water-efficien t landscape Des ign The landscape planting w i ll be drought-tolerant and water-efficient, with species selected from the suggested list included in the City of San Rafael's design guidel ines. Landscape Buffe r Areas and Trees The existing oak grove on the slope to the northeast of the bUilding will be retained and will serve to soMen and compliment the building's appearance. It will also screen the building from the view of neighboring properties 10 the north and east. Any trees removed during construction will be replaced on site. An arborist's report is included in the formal application. Oak trees will be planted along the East West ridge north of Foster Hall extending the existing Oak woodland. The proposed planting strategy enhances the existing oak woodland to the north and the redwood grove to the south. Maple trees are proposed for the science court complementing the riparian rain garden design. Deciduous shade trees are proposed For the North Parking Area. Wildland-Urba n Interface Area This site is located in a Wildland-Urban interface area. Plant materials will be chosen to be compatible with the City of San Rafael Wildland-Urban InterFace Vegetation Management Plan. (See sheet l5.00) Vegetation Management Pion Parking lot landscaping will be designed to control heat build-up From paving and reduce air pollution. Additional trees will be planted in the North Parking lot to soften the appearance of the parking lot and provide shade. All code requirements regarding the number of trees per parking space have been satisfied, (See sheet L5.01) MARIN ACADEMY SCIENCE AND INNOVATION CENTER Locat ing Columnar Tre es A lo ng the East and West Facades At the Conceptual Design Review presentation, we received feedback that the proposed 40 foot vine scrim was potnetially infeasible, and that columnar trees could or should be incorporated to serve the green wall function at the east elevation (neighboring view from across the field), After careful review of the space between the building and the field, we hove concluded that incorporat i ng trees along this elevation will necessitate moving the building west. This causes significant impacts to site circulation in the science court. We therefore propose to include vine scrims to a reasonable height of 13'. (See A3 .0 1), Along with the adjacent oak grove to the north, this will create a horizontal band of vegetation along the entire east fac;:ade of the building . These landscape elements will help to minimize the perceived height of the building from the east and will screen the building from view to neighboring properties to the northeast. The vine scrims proposed on the west and east facades blend the building with the adjacent landscape and create a living sunscreen , These scrims will be located in raised planters to protect the base af the vines from damage and breakage from students and athletic balls. Trumpet vine (Disticus buccanotoria), an evergreen vine with trumpet shaped orange flowers, will be planted at vertical vine cables on both the west and east facades. These vines should easily extend to the 13' and 18' vine screen heights an the east and west el evotion s. DRS NARRATIVE Vine Cable ::iupport Trumpet Vine 9 10 The Science and Innovation Center will open onto a science court thai allows science learning to spill info the outdoors . This court will provide an accessible path to upper campus that weaves through a science garden and a terraced outdoor classroom orea . The new building is sited to avoid impacting the existing redwood free to the south of the site . MARIN ACADEMY SCIENCE AND INNOVATIO N CENTER ARC TECTURE • The design of the bUilding is contextual to the existing campus in both scale and use of materials . • The Science and Innovation Center will be a 21 st Century learning environmenf that makes the sciences a visible, vibrant, and integral parI of the Marin Academy campus . The building includes six lab classrooms and an independent study lab to support Marin Academy's innovative science program. These lob classrooms will provide space for integrated, lang-term student projects to support hands-on learning and to inspire the next generation of young scientists, while preparing them for the opportunities ancJ challenges of the 21 sf Century. • A two-story "hub" space will provide key circulation space and will house an art/ science gallery, small breakout spaces outside the classroom, and small meeting nooks to serve the entire Marin Academy campus, Portions of the hub will have the ability to open to the adjacent science garden when weather permits. -asemen i L v.1 Because the proposed building is built into the hillside, a daylit basement is locoted on the field level. While the exact function of this space has not been determined at this time, several ideas have been discussed. The space's adjacency to the fje ld makes it a pr i me candidare for a firness room ord a physicoltheropy space. Restrooms to serve the adjacent field during games have also been discussed. In the current design and budget, this space is designated as a shell space. See sheet A2,OOA For the alternatives that have been discussed as future build outs of this space. [ ergy fff h ani r es icn The Science and Innovation Center will be a highly sustainable building, and will serve as on object lesson for students. H'?ic '.t The proposed building height is below the maximum height allowed above the average grade plone by the zoning requirements of the City of San Rafael. (Please see sheet 2/ A3 ,0 ,) ,(!crlor Igi ling All site and exterior building lighting will be designed to meet minimum safely requirements while avoiding glare to adjacent properties . light levels will be designed sensitively, and fixtures will be chosen 10 comply with night sky requirements and to avoid light pollution to neighboring properties, while meeting appropriate safety requirements .

Introduction Tbis Marin Parking and Study ("Study") is being submitted in conjunction with Marin application to the City of San project approvals related to the development of a new Science and Innovation Center, to be in the heart the school's campus at 1600 Mission Avenue. outlines modifications to the current and site plans to facilitate construction of the new Science building. and parking have always and continue to very important for Marin Academy ("MAn) and its community. The school takes of working of the neighborhood to ensure that impacts related to traffic and are thoroughly and This project related to the an 0PPOltunity to build on that to proactively address issues the Science and Innovation Center, atld to revise and traffic are at the school. a. of the Study This both and graphics of how and traffic have been managed in the as well as how 11 be handled in the future. of each area, who will occupy the spaces there, how vehicles and pedestrians will move in and around the campus, safely measures, and traffic C studies are included. A comprehensive Transportation Demand Management Plan, specifically tied to approval and implementation requested increase in enrollment, drafted is included as a ~pn>1r.:.lt" f'fAf'",.,...",..,-r with our formal for project b. In 1997, as part of the approvals process for a the development of a new center at Marin Academy, the Planning Commission requested that the school establishing a parldng plan in order to resolve in the residential streets. On May J ,l997, the Commission Parking and Plan. Highlights thal original plan included the following J. Students and staff would be from parking on G and H Streets of Mission 2. 3. Avenue) and on Mawr Drive. In order to enforce restriction, school staffwould from to school. would be given to both students faculty. Page 3 of 16 4. Marin Academy was to maintain a register of all student and faculty drivers and their vehicles. When the original MA Parking and Traffic Plan was approved in 1997, the school had 90 on- site parking spaces on ils campus, for 385 students. In 2002, as a condition of the school's use permit amendment, requesled for the construction of a new parking lot at the north ef\d of the campus, and an enrollmenl increase of 15 students, tbe Planning Commission required the school to revise the 1997 Parking and Tramc Plan, and obtain approval of the revlsed plan from a newly fonned MA Neighborhood Parking and Traffic Committee ("Corruniltee"). The Committee, made up of representatives from the school (Mike Joyce) and II members of the local community, approved the Updated Marin Academy Parking and Traffic Plan on April 30, 2003. On August 12, 2003 the PlaMing Commission adopted a resolution (03-29) approving the Updated Parking and Traffic Plan. The Updated Plan sought to remedy many issues either created or not addressed in the 1997 plan. The six key elements of the Updated Traffic & Parking Plan included: 1. An increase in on-site and off slreet parking at Marin Academy. 2. A reduction in the number of cars that travel to school. 3. Provisions for better accowlting of the cars that travel to the school. 4. A proposal for assigned overflow parking (tabled). 5. Administrative guidelines. 6. Ongoing Communications and Reporting. At the time the Plan was approved in 2003, the school had 135 parking spaces, including lhose that were added in the new North Lot. With MA' s new enrollment allowance of 400, this was 35% over the code required 100 spaces (schools are now required to provide 1 parking space for every four students). At the school's discretion, they also leased an additional 22 spaces at the nearby Elks Club to further relieve parking pressures. In March 2003, the school purchased a parking lot at 1513 Fifth Avenue, that was then under a long term lease. When that lease expired in 2005, the school gave up the EUcs Club parking, and incorporated lIe 34 spaces from the purchased lot into lheir lota] count, raising the total parking spaces controlled by the school to 16 ,', its current level. This new total was reflected in the 2005 Updated Marin Academy Parking and Traffic Plan, included with this fonnal application. Page 4 of 16 II. Parking c.

Currently. parking for both Sllldents and facuIty/staff occurs in a variety of locations dispersed in and around the MA campus, both north and soulb ofMissioll Avenlle. These locations are shown ill the site plan that follows 011 the next page, and described ill the tables below_ Page 5 of 16 Service Road South --_ ..

To replace those spaces, and ensure that all lost parking spaces are replaced elsewhe~ on campus, we are proposing to increase the efficiency at the North Lot parking area , adding 12 spaces to that lot, and replacing parallel parking with angled in parking at the north end of the Service Road, providing four (4) additional spaces in that location. We intend to consol idate all faculty and staff parking to the North Lot. The required addition of one ADA space will reduce faculty/staITparking by one parking space. No loss in student parlong is antJcipated. The table below summarizes the propos~d changes to Marin Academy's parking areas .

Parking Lots Affected by the New Science Building North Lal The North Lot, constructed in 2003 to replace two underutilized tennis courts, was originally designed to accommodate 45 parking spaces, with an internal island that included a bioswale to treat stonn runoff. After careful review of the site, effectiveness of the bioswale, relevant codes and ordinances, and use patterns by the school, EHDD Architects and CMG Landscape Architects, with the assistance of Sherwood Engineering, our civil engineer, designed an alternative approach to the North Parking Lot that would signi ficantly increase its parking efficiency and its ability to treat storm water. I I /! ..,' / " i .0. I ' . -.. \ North Lot (from Sheet Ll.Ol) As proposed (and shown above, and on Sheet Ll.01 of the submitted Plan sel), the North Lot will accommodate a total of 57 parking spaces as designed. Of these, three (3) will be ADA or handicap accessible, thil1y eight (38) will be standard sized (8.5' x 18'), and sixteen (16) will be compact sized (8' x 16 '). 28% of the total spaces are compact. Six of the spaces will be designated for clean air vehicles. These dimensions are those permissible under the Downtown Parking ordinance relTE) However, it should be noted that the North Lot technically lies just outside the Downtown Page 9 of 16 Area, as shown on the General Plan map (CITE) Per the map, the Downtown Area is bounded to the north by Mission Avenue, which bifurcates the school's campus. MA requests that the Downtown Parking Ordinance be applied to the North Parking Lot for a number of reasons. Primary among them is that it will ensure that there will be no loss in on- site parking at the school as a result oftbis project. It will actually increase the erfectiveness of the hydrology/storm water treatment, by greatly improving the system previously installed, EUld reducing the amount of impervious area that would be required with the larger spaces. Also, allowing the Downtown ordinance to be applied will ensure consistency across the entire campus, which as mentioned abov·e is divided evenly by the Mission Avenue boundary line . The tighter spaces shown in the North Lot will be utilized ahnost exclusively by the staff and faculty, ensuring that the highest levels of safety are maintained. The teachers and staff using the North Lot will be typically aJ.riving and depalting only once a day, reducing the overtur.n of parking spaces that is typically seen in a downtown park.ing lot. The two student spaces provided for in this lot alJows the school to maintain parity between the number of student and employee parking spaces on the school campus. The student spaces, like all spaces on campus, will be assigned . As has been the case since 2003. the NOIth Lot will continue to be closed in tbe evenings by locking a bollard in tbe access dtive, and the lighting will be shielded, and designed to provide minimwn light levels that ensure both safety, and a reduction of glare to neighboring homes. The code required number of trees for shading will also be maintained . Please see the landscape plans and Design Narrative for more detail. East of Foster As mentioned above, the entire East of Easter parking area will be eliminated by the construction of the new Science and Innovation Center . In its place will be a new pedestrian and handicap accessible spine, traversing through a leaming garden and cowtyard, that connects the Science buildings and Foster Hall on the Circle , with the athletic facilities at the north end of the campus. Car and pedestrian circulation will be separated , enhancing safety and improving the urban design of the campus. A total of sixteen (16) spaces will be relocated from this location.. West of Foster The existing parking lot at the West of Foster Hall will be modified slightly in that one ADA space will be removed, and an additional student space provided. Service Road Page 10 of 16 From Slwct Ll.01 15BLC/!.ibrary Both parking and circulation changes wil I be made to the Service Road, resulting in the addition of four parking spaces, and enhanced driver safety. Currently, drivers enter the MA camplls fi 'om Mission Avenue at the Circle, and exit on the Service Road aftcr circulating to the ea~t of Foster l1all. The current parking on the Service Road is angled in parking at the lower (south) section, and parallel parking (on the driver's side) at the upper (north) t,cction. A total of twelve parking spaces arc now found at the south end of the road, and six (0) parallel parking spaces are at the north. The new plan would allow vehicle ingress (the Service Road will he om: way in) from Mission and require all vehicles to exit at the Circle, where there is a proper 4 way stop intersection . The 12 spaces at the lower Service Road would remain, and four additional spaces (for a total of 10) would be accommodated at the upper porfion as shown to the Jell. The fiBLULibrary has only two parking spaces. One is a handicap space, and the other a faculty parkillg ,~pace. V·lith al [ faculty parking being consolidateo and moved to the North r .ot, and the de~irc to avoid any reduction in student parking spaces, we intend to create a special student parking space at the DBLC/Library parking area .

Current Circulation at Marin Academy Marin Academy is bounded by 5th Avenue to the South, Bryn Mar Drive to the East and North and Forbes Avenue to the West, near downtown San Rafael. Cottage Avenue is a one-way connec'tion through campus between 5th Avenue and Mission Avenue and is currently where busses drop-off and pick up students. Vehicular circulation to the North of campus cun·ently enters from Mission Avenue, through the drop off circle in fronl of Foster Hall, along the east side of Foster Hall through tbe East Parking Lot to the North Lot. Vehicular circulation from the north of campus proceeds down the one-way Service Road to Mission Avenue or through the West of Foster Parking area and Drop off Circle near Foster Hall to Mission Avenue.

These compiled documents, submitted at the request of both the Planning Department and Department of Public Works as part of the Pre Application process that occurred earlier this year, are collectively intended to outline the history of traffic and parking measures implemented at the school, describe modifications and enhancements to them as a result of this project, and to provide a framework for ensuring that any impacts related to parking and traffic in the future are avoided. It's important to note that there are two primary components to the project description that Marin Academy seeks approvals for at this time. The first is the construction of a new 18,340 Science and Innovation Center build iog . The second is a request for a modest increase in student enrollment, from 400 10 450, to be phased in at some point in the future. While both are part of the overall Project Description, these are distinct and separate issues that affect parking and traffic in different ways. The reconfiguration of parking lots and locations, modifications to automobile and pedestrian circulation, enhancements in safety, and traffic intersection counts, are specifically related to the building of the new Science and Innovation Center. These issues are addressed in the Traffic and Parking Study included with this letter. Related, but distinct, is the issue of a potential increase in parking demand (and trip generation) stemming from any increase in enrollment. Those issues are specifically addressed in the Marin Academy Transportation Demand Management Plan ("TDM"). Parking and traffic are important issues to the operation of any school, and they become even more critical when that school is a high school located in a relatively dense residential/commercial area. While issues related to traffic and parking have arisen in the past, the school takes pride in its long history of working closely with its neighbors to ensure those impacts are thorough ly understood, and quickly and continually addressed. Since the fonnation of a neighborhood task force, and the collaborative refinement of the MA Parking and Traffic Plan as a condition of approval of the 2003 Conditional Use Permit, the schoo! and neighborhood have enjoyed a relatively quiet and successful management of traffic and parking issues. We understand that this is an ongoing process , and that there is always room for refinement and improvements . This project provides not on Iy an opportunity to build on the successful history of community partnership and collaboration. We look forward to working with the City and our neighborhood to address any and all concems related to reconfigured parking, traffic circulation, and transportation demand management. To specifically address the comments made in response to our Pre Application, and facilitate review of our fonnal applications, we're including the following Traffic and Parking related documents with this letter: e Marin Academy Parking and Traffic Study, dated June 6, 2014 o 2003 Conditional Use Penn it Documents • • • " San Rafael Pla'nning Commission Resolution 03-29 San ,Rafael Plaiming Commission Resolution, 02-42 Marin Academy Parking and Traffic Plan (updated), dated June, 2005 North Lot Parking Lot Guidelines o Intersection Traffic Counts and Analysis, Parisi Traffic Engineers • Marin Academy Transportation Demand Management Plan, dated May 30, 2014 Please feel free to contact me (at mjoyce@ma.org or 415-482-3213), or our project manager Ted Lieser (at ted@ecbsf.com or 415-272-3847), ifyOll have any questions or need additional infonnation.

Environmental H.cvicw: Categorically Exempt Project ]'Ianner: Kristie R ichardson Kristie Richardson, Principal Planner, summarized the staff report and reconuncnded that the Commission adopt a resolution approving the Malin AcadcJny Updated Parking and Traffic Piau. Chair W11ipple opened the public hearing . Mike Joyce, Chief Financial OtIiccr at Marin Academy, focused his comments on. the process that the school iui tiated and. took on in revising the parking and traffic pJan which is included inlhe staffreport. He noted that after approval ofLhc lJ~e Permit Amendment back in November 0£2002, Marin Academy worked on drafting a revised traftlc alld parkiug plan that met the parking needs of the school as well as addressed the issues raised by neighbors at the Planning Commission hearing. He pointed out that they held their first neighborhood meeting ill January of 2003 to introduce the firs1 draft ofthe revisecl plan . He added that they received very constmcted feedback on the plan ami i,t was decided at that meding that the draft plan would benefit fnJIl1 a reading of a muc.h larger audience. He stated that after the meeting tlley distributed I11C draft plan to 130 homes in tho Mmin Academy area along with that they included an open invitation to aU llcir,hbors to join the Neighborhood Parking alld Traftk Committee. He explained tlml tllCY received VCIY importcmt assistance from planning staff who snpplied Marin Academy with a neighborhood street map showing addresses lor each parcel, which aliowcdMarin Academy to expand tllcir existing database ofneighbors to over 130 parcel::; and they were able to address lhe plan and send i1lo over 130 families ill the immediate vicinity. He al~o indicated thatwhi1c the first draft of the plan wa~ being reviewed by neighbors, 1tfarin Academy completed two very import<mt campus improvements that included construction of the Visual Arls Center and blingillg back on Jine the parking lot adjaeent"to that building llsed as a constrnction stagi.ng area duri113 constru~tion ofth~ hllilding and .once finished, they essentially brought 22 student vehiCles o1'ftl1o neighborhood stTects and back"ollcarii'pus. lIe Hated that the other key project that was completed in FebrualY was the construction of the new north campus parking lot, which was lhe lot situated where the former tennis courts were located. He pointed out that from that 33 spaces were added to the campus inventory and at that time they also established operating guidcliues <lid a lightillg prognlll1 to address neighbor concems about hours oruse and hours of operation for the lights. In addition, Marin Academy secured additional parking off ca.mpus in Janumy 2003 at the Elk's Lodge. He also added that to date, there had been ~O neighbors who volunteered to participate in the Neighborhood Par.king and Traffic Committee along with a City staffrepresentative attending tho meetings. JIe indicated tl1ut they helrl a meeting on Murch 20th to review the draft phm anti at that meeting they defined the goals o1't11e Parking and Traffic Committee and revised some provisions oCtile plan. He pointed out that subsC(lllcnt to SRPC "NfINUTES (Regular) 8/12/03 6 revising that plan they sent the plan ouL to 130 neighbors for review anc! comment, then on April 30 lh tile Committee mel again and approved the plan. Also at that meeling the CommiUee decided to meet periodically rather than monthly. He noted that the next meeting woulrl be in September and the idea was to meet after the start of/he new school year to view how the parking plan was worlcillg with the rww SclLOOJ year, He.; furlher added that communication with the Marin. Academy neighbors during the entire proce<;s . bad been wonderrully collaborative and the school looked forward 10 continued dialogue with the ncighbors in order to continue being a good neighbor in San Rafael. Commissioner Paul asked l'vfr. Joyce the conditions for the use oft11e Elk's Lodge parking lot. Mr. Joyce responded that they started renting il in January for the remainder of the 2002-03 academic year and they just signed another agreement for the 2003-04 Ilcademic year, which.is September 2003 -June 2004, \vhich is a yearly lease as needed. L2xry Walsh, 121 13.1 Cerrito Ave., San Rafael, expressed concem about a home on El Ceni to A vCllue thal 11 c heard was being purchased by Malin Academy to be destroyed ,lIlel in mrier to COJlstruct a road for Mm'ln Academy use, which wou1d add additional tr'aflic congested. Mr. Joyce rcspOl:dcd tbat Marin Academy had no l11ea that the lol \:vas for sale and they had no plans to purchase the lot or constmcl a road. Tl1ere being 110 further public testimony on this i1em, Chair \Vhipple closed the puhlic hearing and brought the matt~r back to the Commissioll for discussion and aGtiol . COlnlllissioner Lang noted that the work that Marin Academy had done not only benefited themselves and the neighbors, bt1t aL;o is referred to as a hrreat examplc and Inti made (be Conunjssion's job it lot easier. She believed it might be time.; f()r the Commission to make the finding that it is no longer necessary for the Commission to vi.ew this 1'ep011 on an CUllJual basis and added language to be inserled as new No.2 under the condi.tions to read, "the annual status report require by U<;c Permit Condition 2 shall be presented to the COiJlmllni~y Development Director each .JanualY commencing ](fnu(lI}, 2004, unless otherwise determined by the Community Development Director. " Commissioner Alden believed it would take about as much energy to provide a report to the Commw~ity Development Director as it would to the Commission and it would also bencYit lhe pl1bl ic having a hcm:ing. He also 'snggested 1.o "sLafflhat i ftliere were an il6il.l sLich as this where they received no negative comments from the public, it would be acceptable to add it 1.0 the agenda as consent calendar itcm. Commissioner Pa.ul agreed . He stated that ailer a few years ofthis arrangemcnt if llu:rc had been no prohlem, then tho situa.tioll coule! be modified. HB cxplainctllhat they now have 57 extra spaces OVGr and above the parking requirement, but noted that malleI'S could change and felt inorc comfortable with it coming before the Commissiol1 as a public hearing item, and i rtherL~ is no public comment to add it to the consent calendar.

SH.PC MINlJTES (Regular) 11/12/02 12 Commissioner Scott stated that the pCmUt issued back in 1987 required a Commitlee and asked Mr. Joyce ifthat Committee still meets on a regular basis, Mr. Joyce responded that they started with the Committee and it evolved into a series of regular neighborhood meetings that some are very well attended and some are not He added that they have a database of 90 families in the inunediate area that receive notices three times a year when they have these meetings. Commissioner Scott requested c1mification on the admissions policy, Mr. Joyce responded that when the admissions yield were lower lhey could seud Ollt several letters, but now they send the maximum amount that is allowed and then pull [Tom the waiting list. Commissioner Whipple asked Mr. Joyce what other steps have been implemented in parking management programs. NIr. Joyce responded that they have established some restrictive parking covenants with some of the immediate neighborhood streets. He eA'}Jlained that students and staff are prohibited from parking on G and H Streets nor1h of Mission Avenue. He indicated that they periodically patrol those areas in the morning generally to reinforce the fact that students and staff members are not allowed to park in the reSlricted areas, In addition, it is written into the student handbooks to ensure that the students are aware of those restrictions. Commissioner 'Whipple asked.Mr. Joyce if there are consequences to those who violate Lhe rules. Mr. Joyce responded that the first time violation the parents are called and the next time lhe student is expelled for a day. He pointed out that MaJin Academy ordered 1,000 stickers to identify which cars specificaUy belong to the Marin Academy. Com.missioner Whipple asked Mr. Joyce if a sticker would be a condition in order to bling that car to school. Mr, Joyce responded in the affimlative. Commissioner Wlripple asked Mr, Joyce \f there is anything else that they have implemented. Mr. Joyce responded that they have been working very hard with the neighbors on Harcourt Street to restrict parking to one side. He noted that during the construction of the schools visual arts center they have not bad access to one of their parking lots and the start of the scbool year Harcomi Street was pretty bumpy. He decided to . e)..-periment with restricting parking to one side just until construction is finished. . Commissioner Alden asked Mr. Joyce if peopJe would need to use the new parking lot during late hours. Mr. Joyce responded that they do not expect a lot of activities taking place at night Commissioner Alden requested clarification from Mr. Joyce regarding the physical barrier. Mr. Joyce responded that they would strut with a chain and then go from there. He aLso indicated that they have not actually decided where the chain would be located, but most likely in the narrow neck of the access road between the lwo gymnasiums.

" Students and staff are restricted from parking on G and H Streets (north of Mission Avenue) and Bryn Mawr Drive. • Students and staff are restricted from parking on the north side of Harcourt Street (parking permitted on south-side only). v. Plan administration guidelines • The school will administer this parking and traffic plan by patrolling residential streets to ens ure compliance by a!J students and employees. to Any student infraclions of the school's parking rules or covenants will result in disciplinary action, up to and including suspension. o First offense -warning to student and student's parents . o Second offense -one day suspension.

Mari.n Academy will use a combinat.i.on of the measures and strategies JistcJ in the menu below to ellstUe tlu:.l \'ch.icle-trips and parking demand does not rise above, and could porentially f~n below, the 2013 baseji.lle survey. Spc~cific;Jlly, these ll1ea s ut es are: • Strategy iF1: Increase vehjcle occupancy for both parking and drop-off/pick-up t.rips B Strategy #2: [ncre;lsc: Marin Ac;ademy schoo] hus ridership II Strategy #3: Increase the u~e of public transportation II Strategy #4: T nc:rt'ase the us~ of b.i.cycle and walking (noll -motorbc;d uansportation) Table 5 illustra tes variolls mea sures thal could be combined ~. w.ith the school's proposed increased enrollment -to maintain or decrcase single occupant: vehicle-trips and parking demands to 2013 peak per.i.od levels. I\s statcll above, if Marin J\caJemy i.ncreased cl1tollment by 50 students and added thxce faculty/ staff members, without allY transporta6on demand mitigation measures ill place, the result would be the additjon of 33 mowing peak haUl: vehicle-trips, :lI1d an increase in parking demand by 18 vebicl(:s . However, the school could utilize a vatiet), of s!J:aregies to reduce both adJition;l l vehicle tJ:tps and parki.ng spaces needed. 1 iOI: exan,pk: • The school would IHvT no add.itiol1~1 rrips or park.inp; demand. if.it increased studt:nt vehicle occupancy from 2.01 to / .. 25, (a modest 11.9 '/0 increase), increased [aenlty/staff vehicle oc.c:upancy £:rom 1.12 to 1.20 (a modest 7.1 'Yo), i.tlCre~lsed bus seat oCCllpancy ftom 29 to 40 percent, and encourar,cd 10 additional students and five additional faculty/staff to use public tran spottation. This would also decrease parking demands to existing or less [han exist.i.ng levels. ~ Alternat'ivc~ly, the school would .have no ;tllditionallrip:; or parking d(:l11and if it increased student vehicle oCc\lpancy fWIll2.01 to ;U5 (16.9(;0), incrf.;lsed bus sea! occupancy from 29 to 50 percent, and encouraged 1 [) additjonal sludents to walk or cycle to school. This would ~Ilso dec tease patklng demands lo existing or less than eJcisting levels. • In addition, the school would have no adlliliOl1al rrips or parking demand if it encour?gecl20 additional students ~nd 10 addicional faculty/staff 1O use public transportation, and 20 additional students and fiv 'c additional faculty/staff to walk or cycle to schoo!. This would also cleCIease parkjl1g dema!ld~ lo exi ~tillg or less than c:xjstillg levels. As aemon:;u;!ted above, there are numerous cornlii.nations of strategie s that could be ll~cd to 1llaint:li.n, or decrease, the number of vehicle-trips and the patkillf; demands lo Cll1'1:ent lc\'eb if rhe proposed enrollmen.t and staffinf:'; issues increase.

Marin Academy ",nsp<)o:t~!t10'" Demand Management Plan Page 7 E. Strategy #1: Increase Vehicle Occupancy Current Conditions: The number of occupants in student carpools is higher during the morning school commute than duting the afternoon commute. The. average number of st\.ldents per parked vehicle in the mOfning is 2.01 fot cars puked on campus, and 1.55 for vehicles parked off campus. The occupancy levels decrease to 1.48 ~nd 1.39, respectively, during the afternoon school commute due [0 the dispersion of students to after-school activities. During the morning school commute, faculty /staff carpool occupancies are 1.12 people. pet vehicle for those parked 00 campus and 1.04 for cars parked off campus. The occupancy levels decrease to 1.09 and 1.00, respe.c.tively, during the. afternoon school commute. Strategies to Reduce Single Occup~'nt Vehicle-Trips and Parking Demand: Coruider provision of preferential parking spaces for carpool parl<J..ng, as well as reduced parking fees as incell.uves fot carpooling (see next item). This would need [0 be sttictly enforced by school staff. • Consider charging a fee for parking on-campus with only one studen.t or one faculty occupant as a means [Q further encourage carpooling, bus ridership, bicycling and W1Ilking. Consider awarding "transit bucks" to students who arrive via carpool (oJ: transit, walle ot bicycle) to be used for school purchases. • Increase the carpool rate for drop-offs and PJck-ups being made by parents/guardians through the use of encouragement programs snch as SchoolPool1vlarin (www.schQo lpoolmarin,otg). Examples: • Increasing rhe student vehicle occupancy frolU its current rate of 2.01 students per on-campus vehicle to 2.25 students per vehicle would result in 10 fewer vehicle-trips after the increased enrollment; increasing it to 2.35 students per vehicle would result in 14 fewe( vehicle-trips; and increasing it to 2.50 sllJdents per vehicle would result in 21 fewer vehicle-trips . • Increasing the faculty/staff vehicle occnpancy from 1.12 persons per on-campus vehicle to 1.20 persons per vehicle would result in frve fewel" vehicle-trips with increased enrollment; increasing it to, 1.35 persons would resullin 15 fewer ve.hjde-tnps; a,nd increasing it to 1.50 persons would result in 26 fewer vehicle-trips.

Strategy #2: Increase School Bus Ridership Current Conditions; Marin Academy offers school bus service alonr; the San Francisco, Oakland and Bukclcy corridOIs. The sr:hool uses three traditional ydlow sc hoo! huse.s. j (:tch Ini, has tlw capaci ty to rransport up to 56 passcng(~t"s. Two buses s l~t\ie the li asl: Hay. One has a primary [.lick-up/ drop-offlocaLio!l al lhe Del Norte BAHT station in Berkeley a1ld .another serves Park lloulcvard. and. Hockridr;e BART in Oakhnd . Thl'. third bns serves San 1 ''tllllcisco wirh an adc'litional pick Up/dlOp offlocat:ion in tvlill Valley. Overall, rhl: buses carry about 1j·9 students per day, ot lin average of 16 sludents per bus (29% of uu~ scaling: capacIly). Currently, faculty/staff rarely use l\Iarin Acaderny's ]ll.lSeS lo [rave/to or from school. Strategies to Reduce Single Occupant Vehicle-Trips and Parkillg Demand: • COJlsider elirninatinf, ot. reducing bus fees, providing an inC(~ntiv(: for p2.n~llts to h;tve their childn~ll I1S(~ the hus.

If lWO faC:lllty/staffused the bus, [his would result in [Wo fewCl" v(~hicle .. trips with ir;r:te\s(~d c1lI-ollmcnt; if four faclllty/staff u;;l:d the bus, this w(]'ukl resuli. in four fewer vehicle.·t.rip s . Strategy #3: Increase Use Public Transportation Current Conditions: Marin is favorably positioned Ii major east-west bus conidor within Mann County. Golden Gate Transit hag three lines that have stops within two blocks oEMario Routes 27, and 28 [11 addition, the San Rafael Transit selved by 26 bus routes, and the SfvlART crain ill the ~~'>~"j<, years, is located just 0.9 miles away from the school and serves as a collection for all I-';,;',aUclLQ within Matln County,. oppottunities to take of public cransit are available to both students and faculty/staff. SMART is a north-south commutec raill1ne within Sonoma and Marin counties that is scheduled to service by 2016, SMART will initially opwHe as f~r north as the SODoma and as far south as downtown San Rafael with the rail tel'tn.ious located within the llafad Transit Center. Additionally, SMA.RT will be OlC'~C1e-rn;ena allowing nders to teach stations space on ttatns. thelr ftilal destination bicycle as well as Based on the recent sUlvey conducted, two sl"udents ut:iL..zed in the morlling and only {ourin the afternoon.
