to or are dropped off at church site. Using this existing parking experience (i.e., maximum 351 spaces occupied for 1,200 seat service), it can be estimated that doubling the seats (up to 2,400) will also double the peak parking demand up to 702 spaces, which is six percent less than the City code required parking. FUTURE PARKING With the expansion, the church will have a total of 245 parking spaces available on site (other oca IOns on-Sl e where church parking has not been approved may be available in the future). On Sundays, the church will be allowed additional offsite parking located on the west side of Fairview Street between Fifth Street and Civic Center Drive at Spurgeon Intermediate School and the Santa Ana School District Warehouse for an additional 385 parking spaces as shown in Figure 1. Church members that park in the offsite locations will have pedestrian crossing locations at the existing signalized intersections of Fairview and Fifth, and at Fairview and Civic Center. With the additional off-site parking locations, the members of the church will have access to a total of 630 parking spaces, which is 72 spaces less than the estimated future peak parking demand of 702 spaces. South of the church site, between Fifth Street and First Street is an industrial area that is located within less than one-third of a mile from the church (see Figure 1) where on-street parking is allowed. Measuring and adding the total length where parking on street is not prohibited, it is estimated that this zone can accommodate up to 278 vehicles parked on street (6,950 feet of curb area to park/average vehicle length of 25 feet = 278 parked cars). In order to supply enough parking for the church's peak parking demand of 702 spaces, they would need 72 more spaces. Since most industrial businesses are closed on Sunday's, this leaves the majority of the area's street parking available to church members. Assuming that half of the on-street parking was occupied, the church's 72 spaces needed to meet its future peak parking demand would still leave 67 spaces for on-street parking open, or enough to meet the City's parking code requirement with a surplus of 17 spaces as shown in Table 2.
