It is our <br />understanding that the project is located in downtown Santa Ana which provides <br />alternative modes of travel which results in the need to justify the use of a lower <br />parking ratio than what is documented in the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code and <br />the City's Transit Zone Code. The Transit Zoning Code ("TZC") establishes a <br />minimum off -site parking requirement of 2 spaces per unit and 0.15 space per unit for <br />guest parking. Non-residential development is to be parked at a ratio of 1 space per <br />400 square feet (TZC Table DT-6.). <br />However, based on research of adopted parking standards for other jurisdictions with <br />similar projects in a downtown, transit oriented district setting, lower parking ratios <br />more appropriately reflect future parking demand for the Project. Further yet, given <br />5% of the Project's residential units are designated as very low affordable units, the <br />parking ratios for affordable housing developments specified in the California <br />Government Code Section 65915 were applied to the Project's residential component. <br />Philip M. Linscon, PEpea4-oral <br />Pursuant to our coordination efforts with City of Santa Ana staff and understanding Jack M. Greenspan, PE na, <br />of the City's requirements, the preparation of a Parking Study, inclusive of a Parking William A. Law, PE(Rd I <br />Paul W. Wilkinson, PE <br />Management Plan (PMP) is required to ensure adequate parking for all Project John F. Keating, PE <br />tenants, employees and guests, and reduce or eliminate any impacts on the DWdS Shearer, PE <br />surrounding neighborhoods. This PMP is intended to be used to ensure that parking, John A. Daemon, PE <br />as required for an affordable housing development such as the Project, will be Clare M.
