COMMERCIAL PARKING Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915(e)(1), the Project is exempt from providing parking spaces for the commercial use. It is anticipated that employees and patrons for the commercial businesses will utilize a portion of the 211 on site public parking stalls. These spaces provide direct access to the commercial uses which if the TZC standards were applied would require 34 spaces. CITY OF SANTA ANA PARKING REQUIREMENTS — HOTEL USE Section 41-1344 of the City of Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) includes an off-street parking rate of one space for each guest room, plus one spaces for each ten rooms. As such, the parking requirements for the hotel portion of the Project are calculated as follows: • 75 rooms x 1 on -site parking space = 75 parking spaces required. • 75 rooms x (1/10) on -site parking space = 7.5 parking spaces required. As identified, 83 parking spaces are required pursuant to the City's Municipal Code requirements. Although application of the parking requirements set forth in the TZC SAMC Section 41-2011 Non - Residential Uses would require 156 spaces for the hotel, given the mixed -use nature, urban location (it is expected that many patrons would use ride -sharing or public transit), the fact that hotels are not typically 100% occupied, it is appropriate to utilize the SAMC Section 41-1344 Hotel parking in lieu of the TZC parking requirements. Additionally, the SAMC Hotel Parking requirements are commensurate with industry standards for other cities in Orange County. For example: • City of Anaheim has a requirement of 0.8 space per guest room. If this were applied to the Project site, only 60 parking spaces would be required. • City of Costa Mesa has a requirement of 1 space for each 2 rentable units. If this were applied to the Project site, only 38 parking spaces would be required. • City of Buena Park has a requirement of 1 space per guest room. If this were applied to the Project, only 75 parking spaces would be required. As previously identified, 83 parking spaces are required pursuant to the City's Municipal Code requirements. Lastly, valet parking will be provided for the hotel to utilize the mechanical lifts and reserved stalls in the adjacent mixed -use building, this will further ensure that the hotel parking demand is met. 75A-169
