substantive regulations to govern off-street parking on the campus to ensure that sufficient parking is
provided on campus to meet the needs of students, staff and visitors, and to prevent parking issues
from affecting abutting residential areas or other off-campus areas as a result of inadequate campus
parking.

within the development so that students, faculty, employees, and visitors will
not park in or otherwise detrimentally impact abutting residential areas or other
off-campus areas as a result of inadequate campus parking. In projecting
parking needs, standard traffic engineering methods shall be used and
consideration shall be given to daily regular users of the university, auto driver
visitors, persons arriving by mass transportation, and persons being served by
the university shuttle system.
