Grant Williams December 9, 2022 Page 5 PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS Parking Requirements per MEMU 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, (A)(2) Village Center District (Section 4.8(A)(2). The following parking ratio was used to determine the required parking: ■ Section 4.8(A)(2)(c): 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. ■ Section 4.8(A)(2)(d): 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's commercial floor area, which totals 17,200 SF, equates to less than 10 percent of the Project's total gross floor area, the Project would require 2.0 spaces per residential unit or live/work unit, inclusive of guest parking and any nonresidential uses. Table 2 presents the MEMU parking requirements for the Project. Review of the upper half of Table 2 identifies that the Project's proposed 449 apartment homes component would require 898 spaces. With a proposed parking supply of 898 parking spaces, the City's MEMU parking requirement for this Project component is satisfied. It should be noted that the retail/commercial and resident guest supply consists of 90 spaces located on the ground floor and subterranean level of the parking structure which will be ungated. Review of the lower half of Table 2 identifies that for the Project's proposed 58 unit townhome development, a parking requirement of 116 spaces is required (2.0 spaces per unit x 58 units). With a proposed parking supply of 127 spaces, this Project component has an 11-space parking surplus when compared to the City's MEMU parking requirements.
