Abrams Associates <br />TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, INC.Page 5 of 8 – 2114 E. 1st Street Parking Demand Analysis <br />to meet the requirements of A.B. 744 projects must provide unobstructed access to the transit <br />stop that they are near, meaning that a resident must be able to access the stop without <br />encountering natural or constructed impediments. Based on our review this requirement would <br />be met since there is an existing sidewalk between the project site and the transit stop in <br />question. <br /> <br />SUMMARY OF FINDINGS ON PARKING <br /> <br />Table 1 presents a summary of the project’s parking requirements and forecast demand based <br />on the City’s code, the ITE parking generation rates, the referenced transit oriented <br />development studies, and also the affordable housing surveys. The residential parking provided <br />would be forecast to generate a demand for about 756 spaces based on the unadjusted ITE <br />parking rates.5 This publication indicates that market rate apartments (ITE Land Use Code 222) <br />typically generate a maximum peak parking demand of 1.37 vehicles per unit. <br /> <br />Table 1 <br />Off-Street Parking Calculations <br /> <br />Data Source Land Use Size Parking <br />Ratio <br />Required <br />Spaces <br />City of Santa Ana Municipal Code Apartments 552 units 1.25 690 <br />City of Santa Ana Municipal Code Retail 10,000 sq. ft. 5 50 <br />Municipal Code Parking Requirement 740 <br /> <br />ITE Parking Demand Rates Apartments 552 units 1.37 756 <br />ITE Parking Demand Rates Retail 10,000 sq. ft. 2.55 26 <br />ITE Unadjusted Demand Estimate 782 <br /> <br />Transit Oriented Development Rates Apartments 552 units 0.62 342 <br />ITE Parking Demand Rates Retail 10,000 sq. ft. 2.55 26 <br />TOD Parking Demand Estimate 368 <br /> <br />Affordable Housing Rates Apartments 552 units 0.5 276 <br />ITE Parking Demand Rates Retail 10,000 sq. ft. 2.55 26 <br />Affordable Housing Parking Estimate 302 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5 Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, Washington D.C., <br />2010. <br />1-42
