<br />Mr. Enrique Legaspi <br />February 9,2005 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is located at 421 East First Street in the City of Santa <br />Ana, California. The project site is bound by East First Street to the south, Spurgeon <br />Street to the west, Third Street to the north, and the terminus of Second Street to the <br />east. <br /> <br />Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which <br />illustrates the general location of the project and depicts the surrounding street <br />system. <br /> <br />Table 1, located at the rear of this letter report following the Figures, presents the <br />existing and proposed development totals for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. Table 1 <br />also summarizes the hours of operation for all existing and proposed land uses. As <br />shown in Table 1, the 102,046 SF existing mixed-use center includes Food 4 Less, <br />Famsa, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses. <br />Please note that ofthe 102,046 SF that exists, 101,071 SF is currently occupied (a 975 <br />SF suite designated for retail use is vacant). <br /> <br />Famsa proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for an overall total building size of27,256 SF. <br />With all other existing uses remaining the same, the mixed-use center will have a <br />total building size of 105,927 SF. <br /> <br />Figure 2 presents the proposed site plan for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, which <br />illustrates the proposed Famsa expansion. Review of this site plan indicates that at <br />the completion of the proposed Famsa expansion, the project site will provide a total <br />of 505 parking spaces via an on-site surface parking lot. <br /> <br />Vehicular access to Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is provided via two driveways on <br />First Street (i.e., one signalized, one unsignalized), one unsignalized driveway on <br />Spurgeon Street, and three unsignalized driveways on Third Street. Please note that <br />all project driveways provide full access (i.e., left-turns in and out, as well as right- <br />turns in and out). <br /> <br />PARKING SUPPLY-DEMAND ANALYSIS <br /> <br />This parking analysis for the Famsa expansion project involves determining the <br />expected parking needs, based on the size and type of proposed development <br />components, versus the proposed parking supply. <br /> <br />In general, there are two methods that can be used to estimate the site's peak parking <br />demands. These methods include: <br /> <br />N\25[j')\2')42;<JI'Repon\259! Famsa Expan;ioll Shared Parking ,\nalys" o2-o9-o555Am 14 <br /> <br />
