PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is located at 421 East First Street in the City of Santa Ana, California. The project site is bound by East First Street to the south, Spurgeon Street to the west, Third Street to the north, and the terminus of Second Street to the east. Figure 1, located at the rear of this letter report, presents a Vicinity Map, which illustrates the general location of the project and depicts the surrounding street system. Table 1, located at the rear of this letter report following the Figures, presents the existing and proposed development totals for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. Table 1 also summarizes the hours of operation for all existing and proposed land uses. As shown in Table 1, the 102,046 SF existing mixed-use center includes Food 4 Less, Famsa, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and a variety of retail, restaurant, and office uses. Please note that of the 102,046 SF that exists, 101,071 SF is currently occupied (a 975 SF suite designated for retail use is vacant). The project site currently provides a total of 509 surface parking spaces. In the front parking lot (i.e., parking lot fronting First Street), a total of 415 parking spaces are provided. In the rear parking lot (i.e., parking lot fronting Third Street), a total of 94 parking spaces are provided. Famsa proposes to expand by 3,881 SF for an overall total building size of27,256 SF. With all other existing uses remaining the same, the mixed-use center will have a total building size of 105,927 SF. Figure 2 presents the proposed site plan for Santa Ana Downtown Plaza, which illustrates the proposed Famsa expansion. Review of this site plan indicates that at the completion of the proposed Famsa expansion, the project site will provide a total of 505 parking spaces via an on-site surface parking lot. Vehicular access to Santa Ana Downtown Plaza is provided via two driveways on First Street (i.e., one signalized, one unsignalized), one unsignalized driveway on Spurgeon Street, and three unsignalized driveways on Third Street. Please note that all project driveways provide full access (i.e., left-turns in and out, as well as right- turns in and out). '\ \2""J\204,'91".Rqx'It'259I Updfllod rams.
