Ms. Selena Kelaher City of Santa Ana November 12, 2018 Page 4 of 14 11709-31 Parking Evaluation TABLE 3: PROPOSED MEZZANINE PARKING REQUIREMENTS Building Type Seating Capacity Municipal Code Land Use Required Parking Rate1 Required Spaces Mezzanine 110 Churches, Chapels, and Religious Meeting Halls 1 per 3 seats 37 1 Santa Ana Municipal Code Requirements as shown on Table 1 Table 4 presents a summary of the parking requirements for the proposed community service building. For Unspecified Uses, the Municipal Code requires five spaces for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, or one space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area. This requirement translates into a total parking demand of 50 spaces for the community service building. Since the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code does not specify parking requirements for a community service building or similar areas, the parking requirements for unspecified uses most closely resembles the expected uses planned for the community service building. Other similar uses, such as offices, business and professional, have a lower parking demand rate of 1 space per 333 square feet and require fewer parking spaces. Therefore, this analysis relies on the more conservative unspecified use rates to estimate parking demands for the community service building. TABLE 4: PROPOSED COMMUNITY SERVICE BUILDING PARKING REQUIREMENTS Building Type Building Size Municipal Code Land Use Required Parking Rate1 Required Spaces Community Service 9,928 sf Unspecified Uses 1 per 200 sf 50 1 Santa Ana Municipal Code Requirements as shown on Table 1 Table 5 shows the parking requirements for the existing sanctuary building and the proposed expansion of the mezzanine. The 101 parking spaces provided for the existing sanctuary building and the 55 proposed additional parking spaces for the mezzanine amounts to a total Church parking supply of 156 parking spaces. The 145 parking spaces required for the existing sanctuary building, and proposed mezzanine do not exceed the planned on-site parking supply of 156 parking spaces, resulting in an excess of 11 parking spaces. It is important to recognize that the parking demands associated with the combined existing sanctuary building and mezzanine activity outlined in Table 5 does not include any concurrent parking demands associated with the planned community service building. The Church has indicated that the community service building and the Church will not be used at the same time. Additional conditions of approval or enforcement measures may be needed to ensure that both the Church and community service building are not used concurrently due to a lack of on -site parking to support both activities. 1-112
