The adjacent vacant lot, which contains a Southern California Edison tower with a no-build easement under the transmission lines, has been made part of the proposed Crazy Horse Square development. The Project will consist of development on the two lots, with combined parking and shared access. The site will provide a total of 20, 154 square feet of food and retail uses in three separate buildings. The scope of the analysis in this letter report is in accordance with direction provided by the City of Santa Ana Planning Department staff. This report will satisfy the Traffic Impact requirements of the County of Orange Congestion Management Program (CMP). The analysis will focus on off-site traffic impacts, on-site circulation, and will address the project impact on eight area intersections. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at Grand Avenue and Brookhollow Drive in the City of Santa Ana, the site of the former Crazy Horse Saloon, and an adjacent vacant lot with a transmission line tower. The site is bounded by Brookhollow Drive on the north, an existing office development on the east, SR-55 ramp on the south, and Grand Avenue on the west. A regional vicinity map is provided on Figure 1. The applicant proposes to develop the site with three buildings on two lots. Buildings A and C, on Lot 1, the site of the former Crazy Horse Saloon, is to consist of a full-service restaurant, and some retail and high turnover sit-down food space. Building B, on Lot 2, the Edison tower site, is to consist of in-line shops with a coffee house, high turnover food, and retail uses. The building on Lot 2 will be located at the far south comer of the lot, outside of the no-build easement under the power lines. The Crazy Horse Square project site will take access via two full-movement driveways on Brookhollow Drive. The two lots will share parking and common access across both sites. A copy of the proposed site plan is provided on Figure 2. Figure 2 shows a total of 175 parking spaces, including 7 handicapped spaces to support the proposed Crazy Horse Square food and retail center.
