PARKING STUDY FOR CORINTHIAN COLLEGE IN THE CITY OF SANTA ANA INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared to evaluate the parking requirements, queuing, and site circulation for the proposed Corinthian College. The proposed Corinthian College will occupy an existing 39,516- square -foot office building, located at 500 West Santa Ana Boulevard in the Civic Center area in the City of Santa Ana. A 258 -space parking structure is also located on the site, adjacent to and south of the building. The facility will become part of the Everest College campuses. The current parking supply will not provide enough parking to meet the City of Santa Ana Parking Code requirements. This study has been prepared to determine whether or not the parking supply will be adequate to meet the needs of the proposed Corinthian College operation. The applicant is pursuing the opportunity to use additional parking, if needed, at three off -site locations in the Civic Center area. Queuing at the entrance to the parking structure, and site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians will also be evaluated. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Existing Project Site The project site is located on the west side of Ross Street, between Santa Ana Boulevard and and Street. The site is a vacant office building totaling 39,516 square feet, with an adjacent parking structure. A site plan depicting the existing site is presented on Figure 1. The adjacent four -level parking structure provides 258 parking stalls. The parking structure is accessed from 3rd Street. Currently, the on -site parking structure is used as paid public parking for the adjoining building (the proposed Corinthian College) and the surrounding buildings in the Civic Center area. The cost to park is $1.50 for up to one hour, $6 for all day, and $45 for a monthly pass. The parking structure is monitored by an attendant. The attendant collects the money from each driver on the way into the structure based on the amount of time the driver intends to park, gives the driver a time - stamped ticket, and theft checks the ticket on the way out to ensure the proper amount was paid. Pedestrian access from the parking structure to the building is provided in a number of locations. Corinthian College - 1 - February, 2010 Parking Study 31A-21
