(RK) is pleased to provide this shared parking analysis for the <br />Bristol/Warner Shopping Center. The site is located at the southeast corner of Bristol Street <br />and Warner Avenue in the City of Santa Ana. The project is currently fully developed; <br />however, the existing project is an existing non-conforming use that does not meet the City <br />of Santa Ana parking code requirements. Additionally, you would like to evaluate the <br />shared parking for the site assuming the existing futur'e store is a standard retail use. <br /> <br />The project does not provide the amount of parking based upon the City of Santa Ana <br />Parking Code when all of the individual land uses are accounted for. Therefore, the City <br />wants to be sure that the parking demand for the project is adequately accommodated by <br />the available parking with the full occupancy of the site based upon desired uses <br />anticipated by Newmark Merrill Companies. This includes assuming that an existing <br />furniture store would become a retail use. <br /> <br />A ULI (Urban Land Institute) shared parking analysis has been performed to determine if <br />the parking of individual uses does not occur simultaneously, and therefore, does not <br />create an overflow parking situation. The parking within the overall complex is shared in <br />common; therefore, there can be a sharing of parking throughout the development. <br /> <br />The shared parking analysis concludes that the on-site parking that is currently available can <br />accommodate the amount of parking required for the project. The proposed mix of land uses <br />lends itself to the shared parking concept where individual uses peak during different times of <br />the day. This includes retail, restaurant, bar and services uses. <br /> <br />Both weekday and weekend parking demands have been evaluated, in addition to the <br />monthly/hourly variations of parking demand. It is anticipated that the retail, restaurant, and <br />services uses will share a significant portion of the parking with each other. The land uses <br />within the Bristol/Warner Shopping Center project are complimentary (i.e., retail and <br />restaurant uses), and will help to minimize overall parking demand. This combination of <br />complimentary uses is considered a multi-use development. <br /> <br />31A'e~ 7 <br /> <br />3991 macarthur boulevard, suite 310 <br />newport beach, california 92660 <br />tel 949.474.0809 fax 949.474.0902 <br />http://www.rkengineer.com <br />
