<br />11709-31 Parking Evaluation <br />November 12, 2018 <br /> <br />Ms. Selena Kelaher <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Planning and Building Agency, M20 <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />PO Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: ARCHANGEL MICHAEL COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH PARKING STUDY <br />Dear Ms. Selena Kelaher: <br />Urban Crossroads, Inc is pleased to provide this Parking Study for the proposed Archangel Michael Coptic <br />Orthodox Church development (“Project”), which is located at 4405 West Edinger Avenue in the City of <br />Santa Ana. It is our understanding that the Project is proposing to expand the existing mezzanine and <br />construct a new community service building. The mezzanine expansion will provide pew seating for <br />approximately 110 parishioners in the existing Church’s sanctuary building. In addition, the Church is <br />proposing the construction of a new two-story 9,928 square foot community service building. The <br />community service building will be used to support a variety of uses currently housed in the basement <br />level of the Church. These uses will include a multipurpose room, kitchen, Bethlehem, religious <br />education/community programing meeting rooms, bathrooms, storage, and a religious <br />library/bookstore. The Project Description suggests that the existing basement will be used primarily for <br />ancillary storage. <br />The Project Description indicates that the planned community service building will not be used during <br />Church service activities, since the existing and planned parking supply will not support the concurrent <br />use of both the community service building and the Church. This Parking Study was prepared under the <br />direction of the City of Santa Ana to ensure that adequate parking supply exists for the proposed <br />Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church based on a review of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />parking requirements and an evaluation of existing parking demand counts. <br />ARCHANGEL MICHAEL COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH SITE PLAN <br />The proposed Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church site plan shown on Exhibit A includes the <br />construction of a new 9,928 square foot community service building and the addition of 55 new parking <br />spaces. Five existing single-family dwellings will be demolished to accommodate the new community <br />service building and parking spaces. The Church is also proposing to expand the mezzanine in the existing <br />sanctuary building. This expansion will include a total of 110 new pew seats. <br /> <br />1-109
