EXHIBIT A Resolution No. _____ Page 5 of 71 Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR average of 1.8 spaces per residential unit. The parking spaces would include 122 tandem spaces, 25 electric vehicle charging stations, and 21 spaces compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The parking structure would also provide direct access to the fitness center, club room, and amenity deck located on top of the western portion of the structure. 3.2 Open Space, Recreation, and Other Amenities The Project would provide open space and recreation facilities that includes approximately 34,300 square feet of exterior open space and recreation facilities and 6,960 square feet of indoor recreation facilities that would contain: 5 recreational courtyard areas, a rooftop amenity deck and fitness center on the roof of the parking structure, community room, and a wellness center. In addition, each residential unit includes a private patio or balcony area. The open space, recreation areas, and other amenities are listed in Table 2. Table 2: Summary of Project Open Space / Recreation Amenities Open Space Approximate Square Footage Open Space Recreational Courtyards 1-5 22,900 Wellness Center 1,600 Community Room 4,700 Resident Services /Business Center 3,900 Bicycle Repair Room 280 Dog Wash Room 40 Fitness Center 5,400 Amenity Deck (not including Fitness Center) 11,400 3.3 Walls and Fencing The existing 6-foot high masonry wall along the eastern portion of the site would be raised to 8 feet in height; and the existing fence along the northern boundary of the site would be replaced with a 6-foot- high tubular steel fence, which, along with landscaping, would delineate the Project site from the Santiago Park area. In addition, the fire lane entrances would be secured with a decorative tubular steel gate with a knoxbox for emergency access. 3.4 Landscaping and Lighting Landscaped areas would be located throughout the site and additional street trees would be planted along N. Main Street and Edgewood Road. The residential building would be adjacent to landscaped courtyards. Landscaping is anticipated to be about 19 percent of the site, or about 1.14 acres. Many of the existing mature trees that line the eastern and southern Project site boundary would remain; however, trees that are located throughout the remainder of the site, within construction areas, or are in poor or declining health would be removed. The Project would provide new ornamental landscaping throughout the Project site that would include a variety of 24- through 48-inch box trees, 1 – 5-gallon shrubs, and ground covers. Additional trees ranging in size from 24- to 48-inch box trees would be added to the eastern property line to fill in gaps in the mature landscaping to screen views between the Project site and adjacent residential areas. The Project would also install 24- and 36-inch box trees and tree wells along Edgewood Road and N. Main Street. New plant species used in the landscaping would be drought-tolerant, non-invasive, and compliant with the City of Santa Ana’s landscaping requirements. Likewise, the new irrigation installed onsite would meet the City’s requirements for water efficiency (Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 41- 1503; Landscape Water Use Standards). 2-41
