n Parking Standards The Harbor Corridor Plan envisions a mixed -use and transit- supporgve corridor that de-emphasizes the role private automobiles and parking play in our daily lives. The mix of land uses, proximity to multiple transit options, and more walkable and bicycle - friendly street designs should provide options for those who are not able or do not choose to use a car as their primary means of transportation. However, this Specific Plan does not ignore the need to provide an adequate number of parking spaces throughout the comdoc Sufficient parking is necessary to attract and serve new residents, businesses, employees, and customers. The comfort of existing residents is just as important, and parking standards must not be set so low as to cause overflow parking problems in adjacent neighborhoods. Off - Street Parking Table 3 -7 provides the off -street residential and nonresidential parking requirements. If different land uses are part of the same project (e.g., mixed use development combining retail and residential), the parking requirements for each separate land use are applicable and shall be added together to determine the total parking requirements for the project. In the calculation of parking requirements, fractional numbers of parking spaces shall be rounded up to the nearest half or whole number depending on the requirements. Additionally, the City of Santa Ana wants to encourage the most efficient use of parking space and respond to all uses. Off-street parking spaces can be satisfied through the provision of smaller spaces designed specifically for motorcycles or motorized exporters. - Up to 2 spaces for projects with up to 20,000 square feet of gross door area of nonresidential space or 50 residential units - Up to 5 spaces for projects with more than 20,000 square feet of gross fioor area of nonresidential space or 50 residential units Table 3 -7.

Reflective of the desired intensity for the Transit Node District, parking may be accommodated only behind buildings In above- or below- ground structures. Parking within the Corridor District can be accommodated in structures or in screened surface lots between buildings or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking. In the Neighborhood Transitional District, parking can be accommodated on- street, in alley - loaded garages, or in screened surface lots between buildings or away from streets, with no more than half the site frontage occupied by parking. In the Transit Node and Corridor Districts, vehicular access to the off-street parking is permitted only from an alley or side street when present. Vehicular access to the off-street parking may be taken from primary street only when an alley or side street is not present. Requiring access to alleys or side streets will not only improve the appearance of the streetscape along Harbor Boulevard, it will also improve its efficiency and enhance safety for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists by minimizing the number of driveways.
