Memorandum: 2525 Main Parking Analysis General Plan Circulation Element. The City's General Plan acknowledges that while adequate supply of parking is essential to the economic success of businesses, parking needs should be evaluated to determine needed changes based upon changing circumstances in land use patterns and the public's mode of travel. Policy 7.4 of the General Plan Circulation Element also states that parking requirements be re-evaluated and updated on a regular basis. It should be noted that the City's parking ratios are from 1997 and are over 20 years old. With changes in demographics, increased transit, and increased uses of active transportation modes in the City, an update to the parking standards is needed. Parking Study & Rate Calculation. Translutions surveyed two similar facilities in the area to identify parking generation factors for similar multi -family residential projects. The two facilities surveyed are Nineteen01 and The Marke. Both properties are similar to the proposed project in terms of rents, target population, apartment types, and amenities. Nineteen01 is located at 1901 East First Street in the City of Santa Ana and has 254 units. The unit breakdown for Noneteen01 is as follows: 1 Bedroom - 123 units (48.4%) 2 Bedroom - 125 units (49.2%) 3 Bedroom - 6 units (2.4%) The Marke is located at 100 E MacArthur Boulevard in the City of Santa Ana and has 300 units. The unit breakdown for Noneteen01 is as follows: 1 Bedroom - 155 units (51.7%) 2 Bedroom - 131 units (43.6%) 3 Bedroom - 14 units (4.7%) To identify parking demand for the two projects, Translutions contracted with Counts Unlimited, Inc. to conduct a parking occupancy survey for the two facilities identified above. The surveys were conducted on one weekday (Thursday) and one weekend day (Saturday) in April 2018 for a period of 24 hours. Table B shows the findings of this analysis. Detailed parking accumulation data is included in Attachment A. Table B: Parking Survey Summary Survey Location Units Day of Week Parking Parking Nineteen01 254 Peak Weekday 344 1.354 Peak Weekend 342 1.346 The Marke 300 Peak Weekday 230 0.767 Peak Weekend 193 0.643 Average Demand (Weekday) 1.060 Average Demand (Weekend) 0.995 Peak Parking Demand Per Unit (Weekday & Weekend) 1.354 Project Maximum Parking Demand (270 Units) 270 366 As seen on Table B, the peak weekday parking demand is 1.354 spaces per unit observed at Nineteen01. The peak weekend parking demand is 1.346 spaces per unit observed at Nineteen01. Therefore, the peak parking demand based on empirical data occurred at Nineteen01, at the rate of 1.354 parking spaces per unit. Parking Needs for Proposed Project. Applying the peak parking rate based on empirical data, the peak parking demand for the proposed project is anticipated to be 366 spaces. The project will include 539 parking spaces, which is approximately 32% more than the number of spaces forecast based on empirical data. Shared Parking Analysis. Shared parking is based on the use of a single parking space to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment. The ability to share parking spaces is the result of variations in the accumulation of vehicles by hour at the individual land use and the relationship among the land uses that result in visiting multiple lands on the same auto trip.
