(1) The nature of the proposed uses, activities and events that will be accommodated.
(2) The maximum design capacity of the facility.

(7) The number of available spaces that meet the needs of the proposed use.
(8) Suggested parking management solutions to address a deficiency between the number of parking spaces available and anticipated parking demand.
