Agreement with DKS Associates December 20, 2016 Page 3 2. An analysis of the City's existing off-street parking requirements in the identified areas and comparisons against alternative off-street parking requirements commonly used in shared parking analyses, such as those prepared by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) or the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE); 3. A proposed off-street parking code for the identified areas that employs an innovative approach to transitional/phased parking requirements as development units and/or square footages, market conditions, transit demand, cycling, walking, and personal automobile use patterns transform over time with changes in land uses, built environments, infrastructure improvements, capital projects, etc.; and 4. Potential impacts to existing City permit parking programs and permit parking areas. Ultimately, the study would provide the City with options and strategies for reducing parking requirements in areas identified for increased development potentials. These reduced parking requirements could be implemented through a variety of means identified in the study, including, for example, reductions that are implemented over time as mixed-use projects are constructed, shared parking agreements in plan areas that span multiple properties or development sites, parking districts, on -street parking permits, and other shared approaches. These strategies would be first incorporated into the Metro East Overlay District expansion project area but could also be applied citywide once the General Plan and Zoning Code updates are completed. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies), Strategy B (Update the City's Zoning Ordinance to be consistent with the updated General Plan and include equitable, innovative, business friendly zoning practices); Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #3 (facilitate diverse housing opportunities and support efforts to preserve and improve the livability of Santa Ana neighborhoods), Strategies A, B, and C (to increase opportunities for mixed-use residential projects, ensure compliance with the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance, and provide that Santa Ana residents, employees, artists and veterans receive priority for affordable housing created under the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance or with City funding to the extent allowed under state law). FISCAL IMPACT The total cost to prepare an innovative, phased, and transitional parking code requirements study is not to exceed $99,972 for a one-year term, which will impact FY 2016-17 ($77,652) and FY 2017-18 ($22,320), and will expire on December 31, 2017. The one year term Funds for this project are available in the PBA -Air Quality Improvement account (account number 03116510- 62300). 25F-3
