City of Santa Ana -Park View at Town and Country Manor Draft EIR added. The proposed subterranean parking structure will consist of three levels; 93 spaces are proposed on the first level, 115 spaces on the second level, and 67 spaces on the third level for a total of 275 spaces. 3.2.1 -Site Access The proposed project is located in the southwest corner of the Town and Country Manor campus at the intersection of Lawson Way and Memory Lane. The site is currently a parking lot and grassy area. Two entrances currently serve the parking lot - one full- movement driveway on Lawson Way and one right- in/right -out only driveway on Memory Lane. Regional access to the site is provided by the Santa Ana Freeway (1 -5) and the Garden Grove Freeway (SR -22). The Santa Ana Freeway (1 -5) is to the west of the project site and the Garden Grove Freeway (22) is to the north of the project site. The Santa Ana and Garden Grove Freeways are both major transportation facilities that extend through Orange, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties. Access to the site will be via two existing entrances. The south entrance on Memory Lane will remain a single right- in/right -out driveway with left turns prohibited because of a raised median in Memory Lane. On Lawson Way, drivers can continue to make left turns in and out of the project site via the two -way left -turn lane. Drivers exiting the site and wishing to go north can turn right onto Memory Lane or Lawson Way. From there, the driver will have the option of heading north on Lawson Way towards Town & Country Road or making a right turn from Memory Lane onto Main Street. Drivers approaching the site from the west will have to make a left turn onto Lawson Way because of a raised median that prohibits left turns into the project site from Memory Lane. The site plan shows that the driveway entrance on Memory Lane will be 40 feet wide with one lane in and one lane out. A 20- foot -wide fire access lane is marked on the site plan for the Memory Lane entrance. The driveway entrance on Lawson Way will be 20 feet wide with one lane in each direction as well. The site plan shows a 20- foot -wide main entrance driveway that connects both driveways. Delivery and trash trucks will take access to the site from the driveway entrance on Lawson Way. The site plan shows a loading zone, loading dock and a trash enclosure located approximately 50 feet east of the driveway on the north end of the proposed multi -story building. Tenants will enter and exit the underground parking garage from a ramp located at the southeast part of the building near the Memory Lane driveway entrance. 3.2.2 - Parking The existing facilities at Town and Country Manor include residential care, assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities. Based on the City's parking requirements, these facilities combined would require a total of 210 parking spaces. The campus currently provides 172 parking spaces, including 11 handicapped spaces. 3-2 Michael Brandman Associates H t (PNJN)b327b327003�EM'D3270030 Se 3-0O .je tD .fipt a
