The Parking Structure 4 project includes the construction and operation of a new parking structure (PS4) at the northeast corner of 48th Street and X Street. PS4 would provide approximately 1,221 stalls. The parking structure footprint would be approximately 75,000 square feet (sf) with approximately 43 feet to Level Five and approximately 62 feet to the top of the elevator tower. PS4 would be less than 45 feet high within 100 feet of the property line and up to 62 feet high beyond 100 feet from the property line. PS4 has been designed to create a cohesive structure that incorporates the campus’s needs while addressing the neighborhood’s concerns, including the use of screen walls and louvers that provide screening function and large wayfinding identity elements, landscaping used as screening and shade, and a simple, clean aesthetic. Locating the entrance and exit on the south side of the structure ensures there is no access from V Street and provides better sound mitigation by keeping vehicle noise to the south, away from the neighborhood to the north. The north side of PS4 would include a pedestrian-oriented trail with amenities such as benches and shade within the existing 40-foot landscape buffer, the construction of which would pay special attention to the character of the paving and tactile grain, furthering the “natural” experience for neighbors and pedestrians.
