Project Summary: ()
Please provide a 100-word description of your proposal.
Prior Lake has completed various studies of its downtown area related to building/site design, transportation,
parking and redevelopment. The city’s Town Center Zoning District allows buildings from boundary to
boundary without on-site parking minimums. Studies have concluded that as future redevelopment occurs,
a greater emphasis must be given to structured parking. This analysis will build upon previous studies by
identifying downtown sites that will best accommodate future public parking demand, including structured
parking facilities. Its conclusion will identify the city’s best parking strategy by prioritizing sites that meet
criteria related to locational demand, site availability and size, and total development cost.
