3.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Site Conditions The subject site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of South Broadway Street and East Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana, California. The site address is 1501 South Broadway Street. The site is bounded to the north by East Edinger Avenue, to the west by South Broadway Street, to the east by a single family residence, and to the south by the Alta Med Medical Group building. The site is a nearly rectangular-shaped parcel, 0.26* acres in size. The site is presently developed with a gasoline service station. The station includes a small mini-mart structure, 985* ft2 in size, located in the east-central region of the site and three pump islands covered by a common canopy. The fuel pumps are located in the west-central area of the site and the underground storage tanks (USTs) are located in the northeast corner of the site. An existing 6- foot high block wall is located along the eastern property line. Landscape planters are located in the northwest corner of the site and along the southern property line. The ground surface cover throughout the remainder of the site consists of asphaltic concrete and Portland cement concrete pavements. Topographic information for the subject site was obtained from the ALTA survey. The ALTA survey indicates that the site topography is relatively flat. The site topography ranges from a topographic high of 74.82 feet msI (mean sea level) in the eastern area of the site and a topographic low of 72.66 feet msI in the southwest corner of the site. 3.2 Proposed Development Based on the site plan provided by Travis Companies, Inc., the existing mini-mart will be demolished in its entirety. The existing canopy, pump islands, and USTs are to remain in place. A new convenience store, 1,175* M in size will be constructed along the eastern perimeter of the site, in the area of the existing mini-mart. The building will be constructed in a zero-lot line condition, immediately adjacent to the eastern property line. A new trash enclosure will be constructed at the southeast corner of the property. New asphaltic concrete pavements and landscaping will be constructed to the south of the proposed building. Based on the architectural plans that were provided to our office, the new convenience store will be a single story structure of wood-frame and masonry block construction, typically supported on a conventional shallow foundation system with a concrete slab-on-grade floor. Detailed structural information was not available at the time of this report. Based on the type of construction, maximum column and wall loads are expected to be on the order of 30 kips and 1 to 3 kips per linear foot, respectively. *gil1291,lpiz SOUTHERN W*/ CALIFORNIA GEOTECHNICAL G&M Convenience Store #72 - Santa Ana, CA Project No. 1 6G 123-1R Page 4
