FIRST POINT PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN SECTION 1- INTRODUCTION In order to conform with the requirements of the Density Bonus Agreement and project entitlement, this Parking Management Plan (PMP) is submitted to discuss the proposed development, on -site parking capacity, and additional parking related provisions that will ensure that resident parking needs are satisfactorily handled and do not become a burden for the project's neighborhood or for the City of Santa Ana. Project Description The project is located on an approximately 6.85-acre site currently addressed as 2112 and 2116 East First Street in the City of Santa Ana. The site has previously been occupied by a used car dealership (2110 E. First Street) and several other small businesses in a single story office building (2114 E. First Street). The scope of the First Point project includes demolition of these older commercial buildings (now completed) and construction of an affordable, rental, family - oriented, mixed -use community with approximately 10,000 square feet of leasable commercial space. The project will contain two structures consisting of a ground -level podium parking and five levels of residential above. A total of 552 affordable rental units will be provided on the project site. A total of 566 resident and guest parking spaces will be provided under the podium and within the First Point site plan, which equates to one space per household plus parking for the handicapped and guests. An additional 50 parking spaces will be available on -site for the commercial component and 4 spaces for the leasing office and the development's employees. The project is located within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and a number of major employers such as Caltrans, the Social Security Administration, Kaiser Permanente, the Tustin Rehabilitation Hospital, and the Orange County Global Medical Center. Demand Analysis An analysis of parking demand was prepared by Abrams Associates Traffic Engineering, Inc. on May 2, 2018. Using conventional methods of determining parking demand and relying on widely -accepted standards, the report concludes that the on -site parking capacity proposed is more than sufficient for anticipated demand. As a requirement of this PMP, project ownership will engage an update of this parking study that further incorporates and analyzes the effect of the various parking demand mitigation commitments made in this PMP. Such report will be provided by the developer to the City of Santa Ana upon completion, within 90 days following City Council approval of the project's density bonus agreement. Such report will also update and include references to City of Santa Ana parking code requirements. The report, using standards from the Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, as well as a comparison of typical affordable housing developments and affordable housing developments, concludes the following: 60A-41
