Mano Dishoian LINSCOTT November 8, 2022 Page 4 GREENSPAN engineers Special Events The school currently has special events that occur on-site such as kindergarten orientation, back to school, parent-teacher conference, school open house, end of year graduation ceremony for kindergarten and 61h Graders, etc. It is our understanding that past functions have provided ample parking and will continue to do so especially since the proposed Project would increase the parking supply from 50 spaces to 88 spaces. However, in the event additional parking were to be needed, arrangements for the use of off-site parking at the adjacent Armenian Center could be made. CHURCH PROCEDURES The site was visited during Sunday, October 16, 2022 to conduct observations from 9:30 AM—2:00 PM during a typical service. On that day,the church had an attendance of 57 parishioners, which is typical for a Sunday service. It was observed that the majority of the people attending arrive between 10:30 AM — 11:30 AM. Parishioners were observed to park their vehicles within the church/school parking lot and walk to the entrance of the Church. During the exit period they did the opposite. It should be noted that it was observed that some parishioners would utilize parking in the off-site parking located adjacent to the site at the Armenian Center. There is one security guard on the premises that monitors the area and can provide aid when needed. It should be noted that during our observations the security guard did not need to assist in anyway. PARKING DEMAND SUMMARY Parking demand counts were collected on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 during typical school drop-off (7:30 AM — 9:00 AM) and pick-up (2:30 PM — 4:00 PM) times. It should be noted that peak demands include any vehicles observed to park off-site at the Armenian Center. Table 1 presents the parking demand on a thirty-minute interval for both the morning and afternoon peak periods. Review of Table 1 shows that the morning peak demand occurred at 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM with a peak demand of 38 vehicles while the afternoon peak demand occurred at 3:30 with a peak demand of 56 vehicles. Direct comparison of the peak demand of 56 vehicles to the existing supply of 50 spaces results in a shortfall of 6 spaces. As mentioned above, parents currently park in the off-site lot located adjacent to the site at the Armenian Center which contributed to the site having adequate parking. Comparing the peak demand of 56 spaces to the existing building size of 10,120 SF results in an empirical parking ratio of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 SF. This empirical ratio can then be applied to the additional 4,960 SF of classroom space which would result City Council 18 — 126 2/3/2026 N:A4600A2224606-Forty Martyrs Armenian Church-Middle School Project,Santa Ana\Report\4606 FMA Church-Middle School Project 11-8-2022.docx
