Mr. John Clement, President VENTUREPOINT November 25, 2013 PARKING CODE The City of Santa Ana Parking Code requirements are included in Appendix B. Table 3 calculates the change in the number of parking spaces required for the proposed shopping center based upon the City of Santa Ana Parking Code. Based upon the City of Santa Ana Parking Code requirements, the proposed shopping center will require 24.1 additional parking spaces (see Table 3). PARKING DEMAND SURVEY Based upon discussions with the City of Santa Ana staff and the applicant, the peak periods for parking at the shopping center were determined to be from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. To quantify the existing parking demand, the shopping center was surveyed at 30 minute intervals on Thursday (November 14, 2013), Friday (November 15, 2013), and Saturday (November 23, 2013). The shopping center parking area was divided into five (5) parking zones as shown on Figure 3. The parking surveys are shown in Tables 4 to 6. The parking survey conducted on Saturday (November 23, 2013) shows the maximum number of Occupied parking spaces is 220 from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM (see Table 6). This is a maximum parking occupancy of 44 percent. Tables 7 to 9 include the addition of the parking surveys with the proposed land use changes provided by the applicant, Table 9 shows that a maximum demand of 245 occupied parking spaces Is projected to occur on Saturdays from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM. As shown In Table 10, the expected peak parking demand is 245 occupied parking spaces for the proposed shopping center. However, a ten (10) percent overage is recommended to assure there is adequate parking. The total maximum likely parking demand of 270 occupied parking spaces will allow for parking on -site and provide sufficient additional parking for the existing and proposed land uses based upon the proposed total of 492 parking spaces. A graph comparing the projected peak parking demand for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to the number of parking spaces provided is shown on Figure 4. CONCLUSIONS 1. The project site is located at the southeast corner of 17th Street and Grand Avenue within an existing shopping center in the City of Santa Ana. The existing shopping center currently provides 517 parking spaces, which is reduced by fourteen (14) parking spaces due to semi - permanent objects currently placed over existing striped parking spaces. 2. The existing shopping center is currently occupied with retail and automobile service land uses. The total square footage of the existing shopping center is currently 117,495 square feet. 1 The project proposes to eliminate the existing building containing Big 0 Tires and O'Reilly Auto Parts and construct two new buildings on the project site. The first building totals 5,450 square W W W.T0.AFnC•ENGINEMCOM 31 B -17
