<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A. Reduction in Multi-Family Residential Parking Ratio. Amendments are <br /> needed to revise the parking requirements for multi-family residential uses. <br /> SD-43 currently has a graduated parking ratio for individual units based on <br /> bedroom count and a similar graduated guest parking ratio based on the <br /> overall unit count. As proposed, the project will provide a total of 632 spaces <br /> at an overall ratio of 2.22 spaces per unit, regardless of bedroom count, and <br /> inclusive of guest parking, which provides seven more spaces than the 2.22 <br /> per unit ratio. The parking standards contained within SD-43, if applied to <br /> the proposed project, would require a total of 642 parking spaces - 601 for <br /> the units and 41 for guest parking. This creates the need for a reduction in <br /> the required parking of 17 spaces. Due to the fact that the applicant <br /> proposes to provide 632 spaces, the effective reduction will be 9 spaces; <br /> however, the SD shall be amended to reflect the overall ratio of 2 spaces per <br /> unit and 0.22 spaces per unit for guest parking. <br /> Specifically, Section V.I. (Development Standards/Residential Permitted <br /> Density; Parking) shall be amended to read as follows: <br /> <br /> "A minimum of 2.0 off-street parking spaces per unit shall be required <br /> for basheler all units. 2.3 off stfeet narking enanes `ire reg sired for <br /> two heidroom ZniF and 2.5 off street narking spaces shall ho rei. ire'I <br /> . In <br /> addition, guest parking shall be provided as follows: 9.5 space <br /> e°nh unit up throe gh ten X10) unit 0.22 space for each unit +a <br /> evness of ten (10) units up thre gh one hu.. lred (100) i snitsr and 0.1 <br /> sn T eaGh it on eX~ss one h~ ~ndFed (100) i ~ni4c Thus, a <br /> minimum of 2.22 off`-street parking spaces shall be provided per unit <br /> in total." <br /> <br /> B. Allowance for Tandem Parking to Satisfy Parking Requirement. The Santa <br /> Ana Municipal Code contains provisions for tandem parking to satisfy some <br /> portion of any required parking, but only for commercial development. SD- <br /> 43 does not contain any specific standards allowing the use of tandem <br /> parking within the project area. The applicant proposes to have 42% of the <br /> parking stalls designed as tandem spaces. Thus, SD-43 shall be amended <br /> to allow for tandem parking up to 42% of total parking, so long as there is a <br /> link between the percentage of tandem and percentage of one-bedroom <br /> units. <br /> Specifically, the following shall be added to the end of Section V.I. <br /> (Development Standards/Residential Permitted Density; Parking) as follows: <br /> <br /> "Tandem parking shall be allowed up to a maximum rate of 42% of <br /> the total parking stalls for a property, so long as no more than 51 % of <br /> the total units on the property are studio or one bedroom units." <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 75A-118 <br />
