Existing parking surveys at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza indicates that a peak parking demand of 255 spaces were experienced on a recent weekday. Similarly, a peak weekend parking demand of298 spaces was experienced on a recent weekend day. These parking demands reflected a parking utilization of 50% and 59%, respectively. 6. Additional parking surveys were conducted in June 2005 to validate the results of the prior parking surveys. The updated parking surveys indicated that the project site experienced a peak parking demands of 272 parking spaces (53% utilization) and 303 parking spaces (60% utilization) on a weekday and weekend day, respectively. 7. As a result of the parking surveys conducted in August 2004 and June 2005, it may be concluded that the parking lots at the project site are never fully utilized. During the peak parking periods, the front parking lot provides a minimum of 150 surplus parking spaces. Similarly, the rear parking lots provide a minimum of 42 surplus parking spaces. 8. The Shared Parking analysis based on actual parking surveys indicate that the proposed Famsa expansion project will not adversely impact the parking conditions at the Santa Ana Downtown Plaza. The proposed on-site parking supply of 505 spaces is forecast to adequately accommodate future parking demands on both a weekday and weekend day. * * * * * * * * * * * * We appreciate the opportunity to prepare this analysis for you and the City of Santa Ana.
