A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING SITE PLAN
REVIEW NO. 2017-09 AS CONDITIONED AND DENSITY
BONUS AGREEMENT NO. 2017-02 AS CONDITIONED FOR
A NEW MIXED-USE FAMILY AFFORABLE RENTAL
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR
THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 2110, 2114, AND 2020
EAST FIRST STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. Gene Broussard, representing Affordable Housing Land Consultants, Inc.
(AMG & Associates, hereinafter referred to as “Applicant”), is requesting
approval of Site Plan Review No. 2017-09, as conditioned, and Density
Bonus Agreement No. 2017-02, as conditioned, to allow the construction
of a new mixed-use 552-unit family affordable rental residential and
commercial development at 2110 and 2114 East First Street.
B. The Metro East Mixed Use overlay district was adopted in 2007 as a result
of interest in developing mixed-use residential and commercial projects in
its project area. The regulating plan, which establishes land uses and
development standards, allows a variety of housing and commercial
projects, including mixed-use residential communities, live/work units,
hotels, and offices.
C. The California Density Bonus law allows developers to seek increases in
base density for providing on-site housing units in exchange for providing
affordable units on site. To help make constructing on-site affordable units
feasible, the law allows developers to seek incentives/concessions or
waivers that would help the project be built without significant burden and
without detriment to public health.
D. On June 4, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held
a duly noticed public hearing and at that time considered all testimony,
written and oral.
E. Section 41-595.5 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires a
review by the Planning Commission of all plans within a zoning district
classification combined with an OZ suffix where the applicant wants to
EXHIBIT 1
1-13
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 2 of 11
apply the overlay zone, to ensure the project is in conformity with the
overlay zone plan.
F. The zoning designation for the subject property is Metro East Mixed Use
(MEMU) Overlay Zone (OZ-1) in the Active Urban land use district.
G. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which
must be established in order to grant this Site Plan Review pursuant to
SAMC Section 41-595.5, have been established for Site Plan Review No.
2017-09 to allow construction of the proposed project.
1. That the proposed development plan is consistent with and will
further the objectives outlined in Section 1.2 for the MEMU overlay
district.
The proposed development project will be compatible with
Section 1.2 (Objectives) of the Metro East Overlay zone. The
proposed project will contain 552 residential units (including
one manager’s unit) with a substantial (up to 10,000 square
feet) commercial component. In addition, the project has
been designed to feature a public plaza at its frontage on
First Street, designed for temporary activities or kiosks.
Constructing 552 units in the project area will add to the
residential population in the area, stimulating demand for
community-serving commercial uses such as restaurants,
retail stores, dry cleaning services, and other similar uses.
Finally, the project meets several General Plan goals and
policies, including the Land Use Element’s Goal 2 (to
encourage diversity of quality housing, affordability levels,
and living experiences), Goal 4 (to provide adequate rental
and ownership housing and supportive services), and the
Housing Element’s policies HE-2.3 and 2.4 (to encourage
construction of rental housing, facilitate diverse types of
housing, prices, and sizing).
2. That the proposed development plan is consistent with the
development standards specified in Section 4 of the MEMU overlay
district.
Although the project complies with the majority of
development standards enumerated in the MEMU regulating
plan, it does not meet the requirements for publicly-
accessible open space, building setbacks, off-street parking,
and driveway widths. These standards require approval of
incentives/concessions and/or waivers through the Density
Bonus Agreement application.
1-14
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 3 of 11
3. That the proposed development plan is designed to be compatible
with adjacent development in terms of similarity of scale, height,
and site configuration and otherwise achieves the objectives of the
Design Principles specified in Section 5 of the MEMU overlay
district.
The proposed development consists of a six-level project
surrounded by multi-level and single-story structures. A
single-level school campus abuts the site to the south, and
single-story commercial development is to the north across
First Street and east abutting the site. A midrise office
building abuts the site to the west. The MEMU anticipates
developments of this scale or larger in the “Active Urban”
land use district, and this development would continue the
scale of existing buildings in its immediate vicinity. Moreover,
the project contains ground-floor non-residential (commercial
and community) spaces at the front of the project, which will
activate First Street. These spaces have been designed to
feature ground-floor ceiling heights between 12 and 22 feet
tall, enhancing the urban, mixed-use atmosphere envisioned
by the MEMU overlay district.
4. That the land use uses, site design, and operational considerations
in the proposed development plan have been planned in a manner
that will result in a compatible and harmonious operation as
specified in Section 7 of the MEMU overlay district.
The proposed project is consistent with the scale and
intensity of projects anticipated in the original MEMU EIR
(EIR No. 2006-01) and in the MEMU overlay district
regulating plan. No negative impacts from noise, air quality,
aesthetics, or traffic are expected except for temporary
impacts arising during construction of the project. The site’s
design is intended to activate its frontage on First Street by
providing flexible community areas that can be programmed
with activities or temporary uses, and the landscape palette
has been carefully selected to complement existing
landscape patterns of the surrounding land uses.
H. The Planning Commission determines that the following findings, which
must be established in order to grant this Density Bonus Agreement
pursuant to SAMC Section 41-1607, have been established for Density
Bonus Agreement No. 2017-02 to allow construction of the proposed
project:
1. That the proposed development will materially assist in
accomplishing the goal of providing affordable housing
1-15
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 4 of 11
opportunities in economically balanced communities throughout the
city.
The proposed development will provide 552 affordable rental
family housing units, contributing toward the City’s rental
housing stock to serve the needs of diverse and
underserved populations. The area in which the project is
proposed, the Metro East Mixed Use overlay district,
currently contains one market-rate mixed use community
and another entitled market-rate mixed use community. The
construction of this project will contribute toward an
economically balanced community by providing housing for
different demographic and income levels in an area rich with
employment opportunities, commercial development, and
market-rate housing.
2. That the development will not be inconsistent with the purpose of
the underlying zone or applicable designation in the general plan
land use element.
The project site is located in an area already identified in
both the City’s Zoning Code (the Metro East Mixed Use
overlay district) and General Plan (the Land Use and
Housing elements) for new residential communities.
Moreover, the proposed density of 80 units per acre is
consistent with the anticipated development intensity of 90
units per acre in the General Plan Land Use element, and is
below the density bonus provisions in the California Density
Bonus Law for family-oriented projects (35-percent density
bonus) and in the City’s Housing Opportunity Ordinance (35-
percent density bonus).
3. That the deviation is necessary to make it economically feasible for
the Applicant to utilize a density bonus authorized for the
development pursuant to section 41-1603.
The proposed project requires three deviations through
incentives/concessions: publicly-accessible open space,
building setbacks (side and rear), and offsite parking, as well
as one deviation through a waiver in driveway width. The
four deviations are described as follows:
First, the MEMU regulating plan requires that publicly-
accessible open space be provided along main street-facing
façades. Because the project has frontage on only one
street, meeting this requirement would result in the building
being pushed back significantly from First Street and would
1-16
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 5 of 11
render almost the first 1/4 of the site’s depth unusable for
building area, resulting in the developer having to construct a
parking structure or subterranean parking, significantly
increasing building costs. Moreover, in order to maintain the
current proposed unit count, the developer would be
required to construct additional levels, resulting in a different
type of construction (steel-frame/Type I versus wood/Type
III), further increasing development costs. If the publically
accessible open space standard were applied as written, the
result would be a significant loss of units and parking area.
Pushing the building back would also reduce the contribution
to creating a more urban, walkable environment. The
Applicant intends to compensate for this reduction by
providing a greater average square footage of
private/common open space per unit on the project site.
Second, for a project of this size and construction type,
OCFA requires 360-degree circulation on the project site
with minimum 20-foot fire lanes. The addition of landscaping
and walkways around the project perimeter results in the
project not being able to meet the maximum 10-foot side
yard requirement. Further, for a project of this height, the
MEMU requires a 100-foot rear yard setback. In order to
maintain the current proposed unit count, the developer
would be required to construct additional levels, resulting in
a different type of construction (steel-frame/Type I versus
wood/Type III), further increasing development costs.
Implementing this standard as written would result in the
building being set back an additional 55 feet from the rear lot
line, resulting in a significant loss of units and parking area.
Third, constructing 2.0 parking spaces per residential unit on
the project site would require the developer to construct an
additional level of parking either above- or below-grade,
resulting in increased construction costs and/or a loss of an
entire level of residential units. Staff has analyzed the
proposed project and finds that there is potential that the
project and neighborhood may be impacted by the reduced
parking. The City has identified the MEMU area for high-
intensity, mixed use development in order to reduce
demands for parking and traffic impacts. However, the
MEMU area is still in transition, and portions including the
MEMU area have yet to redevelop and produce the
pedestrian-scale environment envisioned by the plan. To
mitigate these impacts, the applicant prepared a parking
study that shows that providing valet service and/or a shuttle
to major transit stops will reduce parking demand on the site
1-17
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 6 of 11
by 150 parking spaces. The study also identifies the project
and its proximity to transit will generate 105 new transit trips.
Based on these factors and comparison against other major
parking studies prepared by public agencies (San Diego,
2011 and Los Angeles, 2016), the parking study states that
the project will have a peak demand of 349 vehicles for the
residential component only and 399 parking spaces,
including the commercial component. The report and staff
analysis also show that the site lies along an express and a
standard bus line that provide service approximately every
10 to 15 minutes during rush hour. These lines connect the
project to points west (central Santa Ana, Garden Grove,
and Westminster), north (Tustin, Orange, and Placentia),
and east (central Tustin). Finally, the Applicant is proposing
valet service to nearby parking lots and a parking shuttle to
major transit stops to further reduce the demand for on-site
parking.
Fourth, if the project was designed with narrower driveways,
the driveways would not conform to minimum standards
established for fire ingress/egress by OCFA and for trash
truck ingress/egress established by the Public Works
Agency and Waste Management, the current waste collector
contracted by the City. As a result, a waiver from the
maximum driveway width is required.
The three requested concessions could be avoided if the
project were constructed using a different site plan and
building type. If the project were designed with a multi-level
parking and/or subterranean parking structure, or if the
applicant used different building materials (non-combustible,
Type I) to construct a taller project, additional area on site
would become available to provide open space and parking,
and to meet the required rear yard setback. However, these
changes would increase development costs, resulting in the
affordable housing project becoming financially infeasible
due to the significantly-increased financial implications of
using Type I construction.
I. The Applicant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City of
Santa Ana, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, from any and all
liability, claims, actions or proceedings that may be brought arising out of its
approval of this project, and any approvals associated with the project,
including, without limitation, any environmental review or approval, except to
the extent caused by the sole negligence of the City of Santa Ana.
1-18
Resolution No. 2018-xx
Page 7 of 11
Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the recommendation is exempt from further review pursuant to Sections 15162
and 15168 of the CEQA guidelines.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
recommended action has been determined to be adequately evaluated in the previously
certified EIR No. 2006-01 as per Sections 15162 and 15168 of the CEQA guidelines.
All mitigation measures in EIR No. 2006-01 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (MMRP) have been enforced and continue to apply to the proposed
project. As required by the MMPR, a traffic impact analysis was performed to analyze
any potential changes in area traffic as a result of the proposed development. The
study concluded that no additional significant impacts would trigger the requirement for
additional environmental review. In addition, a health risk assessment (HRA) was
prepared to identify any impacts from developing a residential community near a major
freeway. The HRA finds that no mitigation measures are required for the project due to
its distance from the Santa Ana (I-5) and Costa Mesa (SR-55) freeways. In considering
additional analysis, the applicant submitted a greenhouse gas study to indicate that the
project will not negatively impact greenhouse gas reduction goals.
As outlined in the accompanying staff report, the project is consistent with the
City’s General Plan and the MEMU regulating plan. Further, it is consistent with the
density bonus provisions outlined in the City’s Housing Opportunity Ordinance. The
project site is located within city limits and is less than five acres in size. It is already in
an urbanized setting surrounded by urban uses, and the project has not been identified
as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
Section 3. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana, after conducting the
public hearing, hereby approves Site Plan Review No. 2017-09 and Density Bonus
Agreement No. 2017-02 as conditioned in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated as
though fully set forth herein. This decision is based upon the evidence submitted at the
above said hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: the Request for Planning
Commission Action dated May 14, 2018, and exhibits attached thereto; and the public
testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

Re: Parking Demand Analysis for the 2114 E. 1st Street Apartments
INTRODUCTION
This report describes the parking demand characteristics of the proposed mixed-use project
located at 2114 E. 1st Street in the City of Santa Ana. The purpose of this report is to present
the expected parking demand of the proposed project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 2114 E. 1st Street Apartments is proposed to be a mixed use project with 552 apartment
units over ground floor retail and a 620 space parking garage. There will also be 10,000 square
feet of ground floor retail space. The project is located on the southeast corner of 1st Street and
East 1st Street in the City of Santa Ana. The site is currently occupied by a used car dealership
several other businesses in a single store office building.
TRANSPORTATION SETTING
Surrounding Land Uses - The project would be located within walking distance of shopping,
restaurants, and a number of major employers such as Caltrans, the Social Security
Administration, Kaiser Permanante’s Offices, the Tustin Rehabilitation Hospital, and the Orange
County Global Medical Center.
Roadway Network - The primary roadway that would be affected by this project is 1st Street.
1st Street is a six-lane street along the frontage of the project, and changes to have two
eastbound lanes just east of the project site. It is an arterial street with traffic signals at all major
intersections but no parking is permited in the vicinity of the proposed project. E. 1st Street is a
two-lane private dead end road that currently has on-street parking that is designated as being
restricted to authorized vehicles only. Please note that E. 1st Street is within the boundary of the
project site and would be realigned as part of the proposed project.
Transit Service - There is bus transit service provided by Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) adjacent to the project. Route 64 operates next to the project site with
connections to other bus routes at Larwin Square in Tustin and at the Westminster Mall in
EXHIBIT 11

Huntington Beach. Please note the nearest bus stops are less than a block from the site.
About two blocks away are bus stops for Routes 71 and Express Route 64X.
PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS
This section discusses the estimated parking demand for the project. The proposed project is
proposing to provide on on-site parking garage with 620 spaces. The amount of auto use would
be less than a typical apartment project as a result of the affordability component of the project
and the proximity to transit. As a result, it is expected some auto trips would be replaced by
transit trips, pedestrian trips, and bicycle usage.
There are a couple factors that the City could consider when reviewing parking demand for this
project. These include:
1.Residential Parking Demand for Transit Oriented Developments - There is extensive
evidence available that apartment units in transit oriented developments generate less
parking demand than market rate units.
2.Affordable Housing Parking Generation Rates - There is also extensive evidence that
affordable apartment units generate less parking demand than market rate units.
Residential Parking Demand for Transit Oriented Developments - For a location in business
district with bus transit access (and located near major employers), the parking demand would
be less than the typical parking demand rate in the ITE Parking Generation Manual. The
availability of transit, the use of bicycles, and the attractiveness of walking in the mixed-use
business district environment would clearly result in reduced vehicle trip generation and an
associated reduction in the need for parking. Since it is anticipated that a higher portion of all
travel will occur by walking, bicycling, and through the use of public transit, it is expected that
some of the apartment residents would not have personal vehicles.
According to S.B. 743 a project’s parking impacts are no longer be considered significant
impacts on the environment if the project is a Transit Oriented Development (TOD). In the State
of California a TOD is defined as a project that is 1) residential, mixed-use residential, or an
employment center project, and 2) located on an infill site within a transit priority area. A transit
priority area is defined as being an area within one-half mile of a major transit stop. A major
transit stop is defined as containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by
either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a
frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak
commute periods. In the case of the proposed project all of these criteria are met with one
minor exception. Less than two blocks away there is a intersection of two major bus routes.
While the overall frequency of the bus service at the intersection is 15 minutes one of the lines
at the intersection (Route 71) operates on slightly higher service intervals of about 20 minutes.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, INC.Page 3 of 8 – 2114 E. 1st Street Parking Demand Analysis
The project is also proposing to meet the major transit stop requirement by providing a shuttle
service to the Santa Ana Regional Transit Center. The Santa Ana Regional Transportation
Center (SARTC) is a major transfer center that provides access to regional Amtrak and
Metrolink rail services as well as intercity and interstate bus transportation. The shuttle is
planned to include service during the weekday peak commute hours with a maximum headway
of 15 minutes using a 20-passenger shuttle bus. Other than the project itself, the shuttle would
include the following stops to serve residents:
1st Street at Cabrillo Park Drive
1st Street at Lyon Street
1st Street at Grand Avenue
1st Street at Standard Avenue
Santa Ana Boulevard at Santiago Boulevard (The Santa Ana Regional Transit Center)
Grand Avenue at Santa Ana Boulevard
Based on data from MTC’s travel survey for projects within 1 mile of a train station, during the
peak commute hours the project would be forecast to generate approximately 105 transit trips.
However, please note that that it is forecast that approximate three quarters of these trips would
be expected to use the planned shuttle service and the other 25% of these transit trips would be
made via existing public transit in the area. Again, please note that there are public bus stops
located less than a block from the site.
With the addition of the shuttle service to the SARTC the project will meet the definition of a
transit oriented development (subject to City approval) and, as such, a reduction in the parking
demand from the project would be forecast to occur. Based on a detailed analysis of 12 large
TOD housing projects the parking demand for the proposed project, when compared to a project
without any major transit stops nearby, would be expected to be reduced by a minimum of 23%.
Therefore, the addition of the shuttle service is estimated to equate to a minimum reduction in
parking demand of approximately 150 parking spaces.1 In addition, the detailed surveys of TOD
housing projects have found that the peak parking demand recorded at TOD sites has been
found to be a minimum of 45% less than the peak parking demand rates for apartments
published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE).2 For the proposed project (ITE
Land Use Code 222) the peak parking demand for non-TOD sites is 1.37 vehicles per unit.
Therefore, based on surveys of similar TOD apartment projects the parking demand is forecast
to be approximately 0.62 vehicles per unit, meaning the parking demand for the residential
portion of the project could reduced for transit access by as much as 414 spaces (i.e. the

maximum potential reduction). Please note these reductions are based on market rate units
near major transit stops but do not account for the affordability component of the project.
Affordable Housing Parking Demand - There is extensive evidence that trip generation and
parking demand at affordable housing projects is substantially less than would occur at a
comparably sized market-rate apartment project. The following is a summary of some available
data on this subject:
City of Los Angeles Affordable Housing Survey - For example, a 2016 survey of affordable
housing sites in the City of Los Angeles indicated the daily traffic generated at the sites was
approximately 40% less than the ITE rates for market rate housing.3 Please note the City of Los
Angeles allows up to a 50% reduction in parking for affordable housing projects.
City of San Diego Affordable Housing Parking Study - The City of San Diego conducted an
affordable housing parking study in 2011.4 About 2,750 surveys were distributed to 34
affordable housing developments. The survey found that parking demand for affordable
projects is about one half of typical rental units in San Diego; almost half the units surveyed had
no vehicle. The survey indicated that in urban areas (defined as somewhat conducive to walking
with moderate transit access) affordable housing units had an average of 0.5 vehicles per
household. Please note that affordable housing in central business district (core) area for very
low income households were found to be as low as 0.1 cars per household.
Assembly Bill No. 744 Planning and Zoning: Density Bonuses - It is also important to note that
A.B. 744 allows developers of low income housing types to request lower parking minimums.
Based on A.B. 744 it appears that mixed-income housing within ½ mile of a well-served transit
stop and with at least 11 percent of the units set aside for extremely low-income residents or 20
percent set aside for low-income residents theoretically requires only 0.5 parking spaces per
bedroom.
According to the California Public Resources Code a well-served or “major transit stop” means a
site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit
service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval
of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods. In the case of
the proposed project there is a intersection with two major bus routes located much less than a
½ mile from the site (about 700 feet from the site). At the nearby intersection of 1st Street and N.
Tustin Avenue Route 64 and 64X operate with approximately 15 minute headways and Route
71 operates with approximately 20 minute headways. In addition the project is also proposing
to provide shuttle service to the Santa Ana Regional Transporation Center with 15 minute
headways. This proposed service is decribed in more detail below. It should also be noted that

to meet the requirements of A.B. 744 projects must provide unobstructed access to the transit
stop that they are near, meaning that a resident must be able to access the stop without
encountering natural or constructed impediments. Based on our review this requirement would
be met since there is an existing sidewalk between the project site and the transit stop in
question.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS ON PARKING
Table 1 presents a summary of the project’s parking requirements and forecast demand based
on the City’s code, the ITE parking generation rates, the referenced transit oriented
development studies, and also the affordable housing surveys. The residential parking provided
would be forecast to generate a demand for about 756 spaces based on the unadjusted ITE
parking rates.5 This publication indicates that market rate apartments (ITE Land Use Code 222)
typically generate a maximum peak parking demand of 1.37 vehicles per unit.

Based on the most recent data available from the City of Los Angeles affordable housing
projects generate about 40% less vehicles per day than a typical market rate apartment
building. Based on this data the residential portion of the project would have an estimated
parking demand of approximatrely 302 vehicles. Therefore, with the proposed shuttle service to
meet the transit access requirements the City could consider making the findings that allowing
the project to proceed with 0.5 spaces per unit is reasonable and appropriate. This could be
based, in part, on the fact that this is an affordable housing project in a location within walking
distance of bus transit and major employment centers. If this were approved, the following is a
calculation of the potential parking requirements: 552 units times 0.5 spaces per unit equals
276 parking spaces. Including the 50 spaces required for the retail space would increase the
net total parking requirement for the project 326 parking spaces. The justification is as follows:
Transit Services - There are existing bus stops less than one block from the site that provide
direct access other regional bus routes in the area. Route 64 operates next to the project site
with connections to other bus routes at Larwin Square in Tustin and at the Westminster Mall in
Huntington Beach. About two blocks away are bus stops for Routes 71 and Express Route
64X. In addition to these services the project is proposing to provide free on-demand shuttle
service to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center for residents that would operate on 15
minute headways during the peak commute hours. The Santa Ana Regional Transportation
Center (SARTC) provides access to regional Amtrak and Metrolink rail services and also
intercity and interstate bus transportation.
City of Santa Ana General Plan Policies - The City of Santa Ana has a number of policies that
support a reduction in on-site parking. These include policies related to the goals of increasing
the use of public transit, limiting increases in vehicular traffic, improving air quality, limiting fuel
consumption, and improving conditions for pedestrians in the area. Each of these factors,
goals, and objectives is described in the City’s General Plan. These policies could provide
additional support for making the findings to approve the project with reduced parking.
Assembly Bill No. 744 - The proposed project is within two block of an intersection of two
major bus routes, which is clearly much less than the typical ½ mile requirement for a project to
be considered a transit oriented development. At the nearby intersection of 1st Street and N.
Tustin Avenue Route 64 and 64X operate with approximately 15 minute headways and Route
71 operates with approximately 20 minute headways. However, it is important to note that this
project will provide additional demand for bus service in the area and the applicant has said they
plan to open a discussion with OCTA about increasing the frequency of service. As mentioned
above, the project is also proposing to provide shuttle service to the Santa Ana Regional
Transporation Center with 15 minute headways. This would provide a direct and convienient
connection to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center. The Santa Ana Regional
Transportation Center (SARTC) provides extensive access to numerous transit services
including Amtrak and Metrolink rail services, multiply OCTA bus routes, airport and taxi
services, and also intercity and interstate bus transportation.

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING, INC.Page 7 of 8 – 2114 E. 1st Street Parking Demand Analysis
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed project qualifies as a transit oriented development due to its close proximity to a
major transit stop where two major bus routes intersect. While the applicant is expecting to
open discussions with OCTA about increasing the frequency of bus service near the project site,
the project will not rely on this to achieve alternative transportation goals. To ensure the project
fully qualifies as a transit oriented development the project is also proposing to provide residents
with private shuttle service to the Santa Ana Regional Transporation Center with 15 minute
headways. If the City were to allow the applicant to provide 0.5 spaces per unit, as specified by
A.B. 744, the parking required for the project would theoretically be 326 parking spaces. Please
note this includes the 50 spaces required for the retail uses.
The parking demand can also be estimated based on the 4th Edition of the ITE Parking
Generation Manual. Since the project is two blocks from a major transit stop and will be
providing free shuttle service to the SARTC, the proposed project would be expected to have a
23% reduction to the ITE parking demand.1 In addition, an additional reduction to the ITE
forecasts can be applied due to the fact that the entire project would be restricted to residents
making 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). The City of San Diego’s 2011 Affordable
Housing Parking Study found that parking demand for affordable housing projects is about one
half of typical rental units in San Diego and almost half the units surveyed had no vehicle.
However a more conservative esimate comes from the 2016 survey of affordable housing sites
conducted by the City of Los Angeles. This study determined that the number of vehicles
generated by affordable housing projects is about 40% of what is generated by comparably
sized market rate projects.
Using the assumptions above the residential portion of the project is forecast to have an
unadjusted peak parking demand of 349 vehicles. Including the 50 spaces required for the
retail space would increase the forecast total peak parking demand for the project to 399
parking spaces. Please note that if it were conservatively assumed that all the affordable
housing sites surveyed in the Los Angeles study also had excellent transit access (and the
separate reduction for transit access was eliminated from the parking calculations) then the
project would have a forecast average peak parking demand of 504 vehicles. Based on the
proposal to accommodate this demand with an on-site parking garage with 620 parking spaces
our conclusion is that no parking impacts to the surrounding roadways or properties in the area
would be anticipated.
