Mrs. Lawna Munholland <br />March 23, 2011 <br />Page 4 <br />City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. The City's Municipal Code specifies the <br />following parking requirements: <br />¦ Retail stores and service uses: five (5) spaces per 1,000 sf of Gross Floor Area <br />' (GFA). <br />¦ Restaurants, cafes, etc.: ten (10) spaces per 1,000 sf of GFA. <br />t ¦ Office, business and professional: three (3) spaces per 1,000 sf of GFA. <br />¦ Medical, dental, psychiatric and chiropractic offices and clinics: six (6) spaces <br />' per 1,000 sf of GFA. <br />¦ Banks and financial institutions uses: four (4) spaces per 1,000 sf of GFA plus <br />two (2) spaces per each walk-up automatic teller machine. <br />• Exercise gyms, spas, health clubs, etc: Per Variance No. 00-002, the parking <br />requirement for Bally's at Metro Town Center is 6.3 spaces per 1,000 sf of <br />GFA. <br />' Table 2 presents the existing code parking requirements for only occupied floor areas <br />at the center, then for the total of existing vacancies, and then combined for the total <br />center (prior to the proposed changes). Existing occupied buildings/suites in the <br />center require 1,147 spaces, a number that is directly comparable to the field studied <br />peak parking demands established in this study. Accounting for current vacancies <br />(based on their historical tenancy type) adds a requirement of 221 spaces. Combining <br />these results in a calculated code requirement of 1,368 spaces. The existing site has a <br />supply of 1,226 spaces, which translates to a theoretical shortfall of 142 spaces when <br />compared to city code requirements. <br />Table 3 calculates the code parking requirements for the proposed future condition <br />assuming a fully occupied center with anticipated project site modifications. The city <br />code parking requirement for the fully occupied future condition is 1,466 spaces. <br />Contrasting with an expected supply of 1,227 spaces reveals a theoretical shortfall of <br />239 spaces when compared to city code requirements. <br />However, the specific tenancy mix of Metro Town Square provides an opportunity to <br />share parking spaces based on the utilization profile of each included land use <br />' component. The following section calculates the parking requirements for Metro Town <br />Square based on the shared parking methodology approach. <br />31 B-27
