Variance Nos. 2006-16 thru 2006-24 January 8, 2007 Page 4 Section 41-681.3(3) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires nonconforming multiple-family residential properties to comply with the City's parking requirements if the number or size of the bedrooms will be increased on the site through a rehabilitation project. Therefore, based on current parking requirements, a total of 235 spaces are required, which includes 188 for the units and 47 guest spaces, while 111 are provided. In analyzing this request for a reduction in parking, staff considered the following information. The applicant will be reducing the number of units on the sites by 20 units, as shown on Table 2 below. This will effectively reduce the parking demand for the project. Additionally, through deed restrictions and covenants, the overall occupancy of the project will be reduced from 315 to a maximum of 274 (3 persons per one- bedroom unit, 4 persons per two-bedroom unit, 6 persons per three-bedroom unit and 8 persons per four-bedroom unit), also reducing the demand for parking. Also, the applicants will be instituting a permit only parking program. Permit parking, in conjunction with reserved parking, will also assist in reducing the parking demand for the properties. Finally, since the applicant has completed several similar proj ects, it has been found that the need for parking has been reduced with this type of project.
