THE WARNER PRCJECT <br />WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT <br />AUGUST 21 , 2020 <br />2.1.1 Existing Water Use <br />As mentioned, the existing land use of the Project include office, warehousing, industrial, and a <br />temporary homeless shelter. There are currently three buildings that occupy approximately <br />160,400 SF at the Project site. See Figure 2 for an aerial image of the existing land uses at the <br />proposed Project site. <br />The water demand factors from the City of Santa Ana Design Guidelines for Water and Sewer <br />Facilities (March 201 7)2 were utilized to establish an estimate of existing water demands at the <br />Project site. An industrial water demand factor of 3,500 gallons per day (gpd) per acre was <br />employed to account for three existing buildings at the Project site. In addition, a landscape <br />water demand factor of 3,000 gpd/acre was employed for the scattered landscaping at the <br />Project site. See Table 2 below for estimated existing water demands and the Project site. <br />Table 2 Existing Water Demands <br />Existing Land <br />Land Use <br />Land Use <br />Water Demand Factor <br />Existing Water <br />Existing Water <br />Use <br />Square <br />Acreage <br />(gpd/acre) <br />Demand <br />Demand (AFY) <br />Footage <br />(gpd) <br />Industrial Land <br />160,400 <br />3.68 <br />2,500 <br />9,200 <br />10.3 <br />Uses <br />Landscaped <br />60,000 <br />1.40 <br />3,000 <br />4,200 <br />4.7 <br />Area <br />Total <br />220,400 <br />5.08 <br />13,400 <br />15.0 <br />Nohes: <br />d qollons perda AFY acre-feet per year <br />As shown above, the estimated existing water use at the Project site is approximately 13,400 <br />gallons per day (gpd) or 15.0 acre-feet per year (AFY). An estimated annual difference between <br />existing water demands and proposed water demands resulting from the proposed Project are <br />calculated and shown in Section 2.1.2. <br />2 City of Santa Ana Design Guidelines for Water and Sewer Facilities (March 2017).
