<br />1-1 <br /> <br />1.0 Introduction <br />RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to provide this Shared Parking Analysis <br />for the 2129 North Main Street Hotel Project. The project site is located on the <br />southeast corner of Main Street and West Buffalo Avenue, in the City of Santa Ana, as <br />shown in Exhibit A. <br />The project consists of a 135 room hotel, including 1,027 square feet of restaurant, and <br />922 square feet of lounge/bar area. The proposed project is planned to displace four <br />existing homes and an existing surface public parking lot. The proposed project is planned <br />to provide a total of 128 parking spaces which will be shared globally by the project land <br />uses. A site plan is included in Exhibit B. <br />Due to the mix of land uses, the proposed project lends itself to the shared parking <br />concept where individual uses peak during different times of the day. <br />As a starting point, the Municipal Parking Code for the City of Santa Ana has been utilized <br />to establish a base parking rate for all of the proposed uses. Utilizing the City of Santa Ana <br />Municipal Parking Code to determine the required parking spaces for each individual use, <br />the proposed project would need to provide a total of 194 parking spaces. <br />As previously noted, the proposed project is planned to provide a total of 128 parking <br />spaces. As a result, based on the City of Santa Ana Municipal Parking Code, without <br />accounting for any shared parking on the site and the accumulation of total parking <br />demand resulting from the interaction between the uses, the project would be deficient by <br />66 parking spaces. A summary of the required parking per the City’s Parking Requirements <br />is included in Table 1. <br />However, for sites which contain a number of land uses, such as the proposed project, the <br />Municipal Parking Code allows for use of shared parking methodology to account for the <br />total parking accumulation on the site based on the interaction between the uses to <br />determine overall parking demand for the site. Hence, a ULI Shared Parking Analysis has <br />been prepared to determine the shared parking demand dynamics of the proposed project <br />and the resulting overall required parking demand for the site. <br /> <br />5-41
