This lot sits on School District property, but who is it really for?

It is my understanding that this lot was constructed under the August 2012 building permit for the foundation for the events center. There doesn’t seem to be any ADA requirements that have been met. The rumor is that these parking spaces would be given out to people who bought the sky boxes at the events center. It would be prime parking. Is it okay to have non-compliance to ADA standards if there is plenty of handi-capped parking over at the events center parking lot? But this lot is built on property that belongs to the school district, and used by school district employees (during the day). When someone asked the city about the ADA issue, the response was there would be additional parking spaces installed on the north lot that is used by the school district to meet the ADA requirements.
I don’t think that has happened yet.
Questions:
How did this lot get placed on school property?
How can this lot be exempt from ADA requirements? No ramps, no signage, no van parking. Even if this parking is for the school during the day it has no ADA access to the school building?
I was not aware that ADA requirements can be assigned to another area when it is a separate parking lot of its own.
Are ID numbers going to painted on the parking spaces or is the lot going to be policed for parking when the events center is opened?
I think it will be fun to see who gets to park there when the events center opens. I noticed that the lot is lighted, but did you notice that there is a lower light at the entrance to the lot, I would guess that it will be policed for parking. So is this a School District lot? A EC VIP lot? Or Both? Time will tell.
Let see Homan, Huether, money, Sanford, greed, insider deals, EC, what could possibly be wrong here.
To me it sounds like some kind of “hanky Panky” went on here. What else will city big shots try to pull.
I had occasion to be coming into town on I-90 from the North and noticed new signage directing to the EC. I glanced over toward the building and had the curious impression I had seen that sight before – somewhere else. Then it struck me – it looks a lot like the Navy’s blimp hanger South of San Francisco just off of the 101 Freeway.
