Although these land use categories do not precisely reflect the proposed use, they nevertheless provide an indication of the parking associated with typical industrial users, par[iculazly for the industrial park classification. Examination of Table 1 reveals the average peak pazking demand for industrial uses is 1.18 spaces per TSF. The proposed project will provide pazking at the rate of 1.18 spaces (104 spaces for 88,000 sf j. It should be noted these figures represent the maximum pazking demand that occurs at any one time and not the "average" throughout the day. Case Study Results There is an existing Contractor's Wazehouse at 601 E. Imperial Highway which consists of two buildings totaling 108,400 sf located in an industrial azea in the City of La Habra. This location is the closest similar facility to that planned in Santa Ana, and its peak parking was observed for six days (two Fridays, two Saturdays and two Sundays) in November and December 2006, and for one Monday in January 2007. The results of those parking observations revealed an absolute maximum pazking demand of 42 spaces. That peak pazking total consisted of 35 vehicles in the general customer parking lot and another seven contractor vehicles parked in the building supply area loading lumber and other materials. Another source of pazking demand information is available from Pazsons Transportation Group, Inc. who conducted case studies in 2005 of two Contractor's Warehouse Stores located in Pomona and Montebello. This study (copy attached) is quite comprehensive with regazd to parking demand for this specific use and delves deeply into numbers of sales transactions and surrounding location (industrial versus retail) as well as actual pazking counts to produce recommended parking guidelines. Summarizing briefly what this exhaustive study found was that the maximum parking demand at anytime was 88 spaces at Montebello and 99 spaces at Pomona. These stores aze 76,000 sf and 65,000 sf, respectively. The report concludes that the absolute maximum peak pazking demand on any day of the yeaz is 88 spaces for Montebello and 116 spaces in Pomona. The Montebello store more closely approximates that which is proposed in Santa Ana because both of its size (76,000 sf) and its location in an industrial area. The Pomona store with its somewhat higher parking demand is situated in a conventional lazge retail center. The Pazson's report provides an overall recommendation of one pazking space per 950 sf (1.05 spaces per TSF) for this type of use located in an industrial area.
