SANTA ANA HD SUPPLY REPAIR AND REMODEL SITE <br />TRAFFIC AND PARKING ANALYSIS UPDATE <br />In 2007, Austin-Foust Associates (AFA) conducted a parking and traffic study for HD Supply <br />Repair and Remodel (HD Supply) for a proposed reuse of two existing buildings at 1044 E. Fourth Street <br />in Santa Ana as a new supply repair and remodel facility. The project was approved by the City of Santa <br />Ana for development, but was never completed and now there are some revisions proposed to the site <br />plan. With this, along with the four years that have elapsed, the City requires the traffic and parking study <br />must be updated to reflect current conditions, which AFA has completed in this revised and updated <br />traffic and parking study. <br />The project will provide 100 parking spaces compared to a City Code requirement of 183 (i.e., two spaces <br />per thousand square feet). This study investigates the actual demand for parking as well as the trip <br />generation and left turn access to/from the site in support of a request by the project for a possible <br />variance. <br />PARKING ANALYSIS <br />The site, as illustrated in Figure 1, encompasses two existing buildings totaling 91,581 sf situated <br />on E. Fourth Street in the midst of an industrial zone. Figure 2 provides a detailed plan of the proposed <br />revisions to the existing facility. The site would be divided into two sections known as Box "A" and Box <br />"B". Box "A" will be comprised of 56,538 sf, while Box "B" will be 35,043 sf. <br />AFA conducted a literature search as well as actual case studies of the parking demand of former <br />Contractor's Warehouse (now HD Supply), and the Carson, California HD Supply store. <br />Literature Search Results <br />The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) produced a publication Parking Generation, 3rd <br />Edition dated 2004 which is regarded as the best source in the industry on parking demand. This <br />publication provides the following information with respect to parking demand for industrial and building <br />supply users. <br />Santa Ana I ID Supply Repair and Remodel Site <br />Traffic and Parking Analysis Update <br />Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. <br />1217001 rpt.doc <br />31A-21
