Mr. Chase Villafana <br />September 1, 2015 <br />Page 3 <br />The proposed Project includes the renovation of 23,397 SF of vacant retail floor area <br />to a health /fitness club to be occupied by Planet Fitness. Figure 3 presents the Planet <br />Fitness floor plan. <br />Based on a field assessment, the existing on -site parking supply for the PacifiCenter <br />totals 460 spaces. However, the Project is proposing to modify the parking layout to <br />accommodate a new building entry and enhanced landscaping and will provide 456 <br />spaces. For detailed study purposes. the parking areas were divided into five (5) zones <br />as illustrated on Figure 4. Table I -2 provides a breakdown of the parking supply <br />provided within each zone, which are identified as Zones A through E in Table 1 -2. <br />PARKING SUPPLY- DEMAND ANALYSIS <br />This parking analysis for the PacifiCenter involves determining the expected parking <br />needs, based on the size and type of proposed development components, versus the <br />parking supply. Typically, there are two methods that can be used to estimate the <br />site's peak parking needs. These methods have been used in this analysis and <br />include: <br />Application of City code requirements (which typically treats each tenancy <br />type as a "stand alone" use at maximum demand). <br />Application of shared parking usage patterns by tine -of -day (which <br />recognizes that the parking demand for each tenancy type varies by time of <br />day and day of week). The shared parking analysis starts with a code <br />calculation for each tenancy type. <br />The shared parking methodology is concluded to be applicable to a development such <br />as the PacifiCenter because the individual land use types (i.e., retail, eating <br />establishments, fitness center, etc.) experience peak demands at different times of the <br />day. <br />CODE PARKING REQUIREMENTS <br />The code parking calculation for PacifiCenter with the proposed Project is based on <br />the City's requirements as outlined in Chapter 41 — Zoning, Article X(! Off- Sfreer <br />Parking of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code. The City's Municipal Code <br />specifies the following parking requirements: <br />Restaurant, cafe, etc: ten (10) spaces per 1,000 SF of Gross Floor Area (,GFA). <br />31A-20 <br />
