I PARKING ANALYSIS Parlung Requirement Comparison Educational Institution parking requirements for a number of other cities in Orange and Los Angeles County were obtained and compared with the City of Santa Ana pazking requirements. The cities are identified on Table 3 along with the parking requirement set forth in each City's Municipal Code. Some city parking requirements for educational institutions are based on square footage, similar to the City of Santa Ana parking code; others are based on student and staff population. The parking supply that would be required for the Corinthian College project based on the parking requirement for each city is summarized on Table 4. Parking requirements for those cities that are based on student and staffpopulation are calculated based on the maximum attendance in the peak period, which would be approximately 307 students and 36 staff as summarized on Table 1. As shown on Table 4, the parking requirement for each of the cities is lower than the City of Santa Ana, with the exception of the City of Buena Park. The City of Alhambra, City of Anaheim, and City of Gazdena, all of which have Everest College campuses similar to the one proposed in Santa Ana, have lower parking requirements than the City of Santa Ana. However, even for some of the cities that have a lower parking requirement, the 258-space parking structure still would not meet the pazking requirement.
