Mr. Robert Bisno October 3, 2017 Page 3 PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS Parking Requirements per Overlay Requirements To determine the number of parking spaces required to support the proposed Project, the parking requirement was calculated based on parking information published in the City of Santa Ana Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone, Chapter 4.0 Development Standards, Section 4.8 Parking and Access, 3.d. Active Urban District. The following parking ratio was used to determine the required parking: ■ Mixed-use developments with less than 10 percent of the gross floor area devoted to commercial activity: a minimum of 2.0 spaces per residential or live/work unit inclusive of guest parking and any nonresidential uses. ■ Mixed-use developments with 10 percent or greater of the gross floor area devoted to commercial activity: Any development proposal that devotes 10 percent or more of the development's gross floor area to a nonresidential use shall be required to provide a parking study by a city approved consultant to establish an adequate parking requirement for the mixture of uses in the proposed development. In no case, however, shall a standard of less than 2.25 spaces per unit inclusive of guest parking and any nonresidential uses shall be established. Given the proposed Project commercial floor area, which totals 6,561 SF, equates to less than 10 percent of the Project's total gross floor area, the Project would require 520 spaces (2.0 spaces per unit x 260 units). With a proposed parking supply of 445 parking spaces, the Project has a 75 space parking deficiency when compared to the City's Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone parking requirements. Comparison of Parking Ratios Notwithstanding the requirements of City Code, the actual parking requirements for multifamily residential uses have been found to be less than the City's own Code requirement as represented the City of Santa Ana Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone, Chapter 4.0 Development Standards, Section 4.8 Parking and Access, 3.d. Active Urban District. This aspect is illustrated by LLG's previous field studies of actual parking demand at existing sites similar to the project, in addition to parking demand/empirical ratio compilations from other sources. Table 2 presents a comparison of site development and parking ratios from various sources. The upper portion of Table 2 presents twelve (12) comparable sites in Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Monrovia, Laguna Niguel, and Pasadena. Additional detail for the comparable sites is also provided inclusive of the location, development summary, parking facility type, parking supply, presence of N:`37000 I637?? -'The Nladisou, Santa Ana Parking Sludy,Hcporl' 3753 She Madison Parking Study 10-3-17.doc 75A-52
