Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Re: Proposed Hampton Hotel Project <br />Dear Ms. Kelaher: <br />Following up on our letter dated December 7, 2017, on behalf of the owner and <br />operator of Hollybrook Senior Living of Orange ("Hollybrook") we have additional <br />concerns about the parking variance and traffic related impacts that would be caused by <br />the proposed Hampton Hotel Project ("Hotel Project"). Even though a copy of the Shared <br />Parking Analysis was not in the Project file during our review on December 5, 2017, we <br />have now reviewed the staff report and the parking analysis. In review of these documents <br />we note following inconsistencies within the reports: <br />The required number of parking spaces is different in each report. The staff <br />reports states 166 parking spaces are required and the Shared Parking <br />Analysis states the Hotel Project needs 194 parking spaces. <br />The Urban Land Institute ("ULP') Shared Parking Analysis is generally <br />used for large mixed-use or for shopping center projects proposed on several <br />acres of land. What is the basis for using ULI methodology to analyze <br />parking for small hotel and restaurant project? <br />• The applicant proposes a 135 room hotel and to convert the onsite historic <br />structures into a 2,627 square foot restaurant and the other into a 922 square <br />foot restaurant that will not be operated by the hotel. Yet the Parking <br />Analysis assumes a smaller hotel, 1,027 square feet, with the restaurant and <br />bar areas within the hotel building. The staff report notes that the applicant <br />proposes to offer parking for the hotel guest, restaurant patrons and to the <br />public for a paid price. What is the result of the Shared Parking Analysis <br />using the correct project description and including public parking as a land <br />use? <br />Alston & Bird LLP www Iston corn <br />Atlanta I Beijing I Brussels I charlotte I Dallas I Los Angeles I New York I Research Triangle I San Francisco I Silicon Valley I Washington, D.r <br />75A-163 <br />
