2525 North Main Street October 28, 2019 Page 4 The Planning Commission, in evaluating the modifications to the project and its recommendations to the City Council, should consider whether the project has addressed the concerns expressed by the City Council regarding reducing density, building height and massing, increasing the parking ratio, and the reducing the expected traffic associated with the project. As described in the following analysis of the project and by the various updated technical studies, all previously identified concerns have been addressed and the project as modified merits an approval recommendation by the Planning Commission. Project Location and Site Description The subject site is a 5.93-acre parcel located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Edgewood Road. Regional access to the site is provided from the Santa Ana (1-5) Freeway via Main Street, a 6-lane arterial roadway, and via the State Route 22 (SR-22) Freeway. The properties immediately adjacent to the site include Santiago Park to the north, single-family residential homes to the south and east and the Discovery Cube across Main Street to the west. The project site is located on North Main Street, an urban corridor within the City.
