Dear Mr. Ensign:
INTRODUCTION
The firm of Kunzman Associates, Inc. is pleased to submit this parking study for the Coast Business
Center project in the City of Newport Beach. The proposed project consists of converting existing office
land uses to medical land uses. Kunzman Associates, Inc. has been asked to conduct an analysis of the
parking for the proposed project in order to ascertain if adequate parking spaces are currently provided
at the Coast Business Center for existing and future conditions and to explore the option of providing a
valet parking service.
This report summarizes our methodology, analysis, and findings. Although this is a technical report,
every effort has been made to write the report clearly and concisely. To assist the reader with those
terms unique to transportation engineering, a glossary of terms is provided within Appendix A.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 2121 East Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. The site currently
provides 142 parking spaces. Figure 1 shows the project location map and Figure 2 illustrates the site
plan.
As shown in Table 1, the site is currently occupied with financial, medical, and office land uses.
Currently, 8,448 square feet of the site is vacant. The total square footage of the existing site is 31,543
square feet.
PARKING GARAGE
The existing two story parking garage located at the project site has been drawn and shown on Figures 4
and 5. The parking garage currently provides 67 parking spaces on the top level and 75 parking spaces
on the bottom level for a total of 142 parking spaces (67 + 75 = 142).
Figures 6 and 7 show the valet parking layout. The parking garage is projected to provide 74 parking
spaces on the top level and 92 parking spaces on the bottom level for a total of 166 parking spaces (74 +
92 = 166).

PARKING CODE ‐ VACANT SUITES
The City of Newport Beach Parking Code requirements are included in Appendix B. Table 2 calculates
the number of parking spaces required for the vacant units based upon the City of Newport Beach
Parking Code.
Based upon the City of Newport Beach Parking Code requirements, the vacant units are projected to
require 43 parking spaces (see Table 2).
PARKING DEMAND SURVEY
Based upon discussions with the City of Newport Beach staff and the applicant, the peak periods for
parking at the site was determined to be from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on a typical weekday. To quantify
the existing parking demand, the site was surveyed at 30‐minute intervals on Tuesday (June 3, 2014).
The project site parking area is divided into three (3) parking zones as shown on Figure 3. The parking
survey is shown in Table 3. The parking survey shows the maximum number of occupied parking spaces
is 53 parked vehicles from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM (see Table 3). This is a maximum parking occupancy of
37 percent (53/142 = 37%).
As indicated in Table 4, the expected peak parking demand is 96 occupied parking spaces for the site (53
+ 53 = 96).
Sufficient on‐site parking is provided by the Coast Business Center based upon the parking study.
PARKING CODE ‐ MEDICAL LAND USE FOR ALL UNITS
The City of Newport Beach Parking Code requirements are included in Appendix B. Table 5 calculates
the number of parking spaces required if all the units were medical land use based upon the City of
Newport Beach Parking Code.
Based upon the City of Newport Beach Parking Code requirements, medical land use for all the units are
projected to require 158 parking spaces (see Table 5).
Sufficient on‐site parking is provided by the Coast Business Center based upon the parking study if valet
parking is provided. It should be noted that periodic parking surveys should be conducted to verify the
findings of this analysis before valet parking is implemented.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The project site is located at 2121 East Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. The site
currently provides 142 parking spaces.

BOTTLENECK: A constriction along a travelway that limits the amount of traffic that
can proceed downstream from its location.
CAPACITY: The maximum number of vehicles that can be reasonably expected to pass
over a given section of a lane or a roadway in a given time period.
CHANNELIZATION: The separation or regulation of conflicting traffic movements into
definite paths of travel by the use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other
suitable means to facilitate the safe and orderly movements of both vehicles and
pedestrians.
CLEARANCE INTERVAL: Nearly same as yellow time. If there is an all red interval after
the end of a yellow, then that is also added into the clearance interval.
CORDON: An imaginary line around an area across which vehicles, persons, or other
items are counted (in and out).
CYCLE LENGTH: The time period in seconds required for one complete signal cycle.
CUL‐DE‐SAC STREET: A local street open at one end only, and with special provisions
for turning around.
PA2019-101
DAILY CAPACITY: The daily volume of traffic that will result in a volume during the
peak hour equal to the capacity of the roadway.
DELAY: The time consumed while traffic is impeded in its movement by some element
over which it has no control, usually expressed in seconds per vehicle.
DEMAND RESPONSIVE SIGNAL: Same as traffic‐actuated signal.
DENSITY: The number of vehicles occupying in a unit length of the through traffic
lanes of a roadway at any given instant. Usually expressed in vehicles per mile.
DETECTOR: A device that responds to a physical stimulus and transmits a resulting
impulse to the signal controller.
DESIGN SPEED: A speed selected for purposes of design. Features of a highway, such
as curvature, superelevation, and sight distance (upon which the safe operation of
vehicles is dependent) are correlated to design speed.
DIRECTIONAL SPLIT: The percent of traffic in the peak direction at any point in time.
DIVERSION: The rerouting of peak hour traffic to avoid congestion.
FORCED FLOW: Opposite of free flow.
FREE FLOW: Volumes are well below capacity. Vehicles can maneuver freely and
travel is unimpeded by other traffic.
GAP: Time or distance between successive vehicles in a traffic stream, rear bumper to
front bumper.
HEADWAY: Time or distance spacing between successive vehicles in a traffic stream,
front bumper to front bumper.
INTERCONNECTED SIGNAL SYSTEM: A number of intersections that are connected to
achieve signal progression.

and travel time, traffic interruptions, freedom to maneuver, safety, driving comfort
and convenience, and operating costs.
LOOP DETECTOR: A vehicle detector consisting of a loop of wire embedded in the
roadway, energized by alternating current and producing an output circuit closure
when passed over by a vehicle.
PA2019-101
MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE GAP: Smallest time headway between successive vehicles in
a traffic stream into which another vehicle is willing and able to cross or merge.

intersection and the beginning of green at an adjacent intersection.
PLATOON: A closely grouped component of traffic that is composed of several
vehicles moving, or standing ready to move, with clear spaces ahead and behind.
ORIGIN‐DESTINATION SURVEY: A survey to determine the point of origin and the
point of destination for a given vehicle trip.
PASSENGER CAR EQUIVALENTS (PCE): One car is one Passenger Car Equivalent. A
truck is equal to 2 or 3 Passenger Car Equivalents in that a truck requires longer to
start, goes slower, and accelerates slower. Loaded trucks have a higher Passenger Car
Equivalent than empty trucks.
PEAK HOUR: The 60 consecutive minutes with the highest number of vehicles.
PRETIMED SIGNAL: A type of traffic signal that directs traffic to stop and go on a
predetermined time schedule without regard to traffic conditions. Also, fixed time
signal.
PROGRESSION: A term used to describe the progressive movement of traffic through
several signalized intersections.
SCREEN‐LINE: An imaginary line or physical feature across which all trips are counted,
normally to verify the validity of mathematical traffic models.
SIGNAL CYCLE: The time period in seconds required for one complete sequence of
signal indications.
SIGNAL PHASE: The part of the signal cycle allocated to one or more traffic
movements.
STARTING DELAY: The delay experienced in initiating the movement of queued traffic
from a stop to an average running speed through a signalized intersection.
TRAFFIC‐ACTUATED SIGNAL: A type of traffic signal that directs traffic to stop and go
in accordance with the demands of traffic, as registered by the actuation of detectors.
PA2019-101
TRIP: The movement of a person or vehicle from one location (origin) to another
(destination). For example, from home to store to home is two trips, not one.
TRIP‐END: One end of a trip at either the origin or destination; i.e. each trip has two
trip‐ends. A trip‐end occurs when a person, object, or message is transferred to or
from a vehicle.
TRIP GENERATION RATE: The quantity of trips produced and/or attracted by a specific
land use stated in terms of units such as per dwelling, per acre, and per 1,000 square
feet of floor space.
TRUCK: A vehicle having dual tires on one or more axles, or having more than two
axles.
UNBALANCED FLOW: Heavier traffic flow in one direction than the other. On a daily
basis, most facilities have balanced flow. During the peak hours, flow is seldom
balanced in an urban area.
VEHICLE MILES OF TRAVEL: A measure of the amount of usage of a section of
highway, obtained by multiplying the average daily traffic by length of facility in miles.

21 § 1 (Exh. A)(part), 2010)
20.40.110 Adjustments to Off‐Street Parking Requirements.
The number of parking spaces required by this chapter may be reduced only in compliance with the following standards
and procedures.
A. ADA Compliance. The Director may administratively reduce parking requirements due to a loss of parking spaces
because of ADA requirements associated with tenant improvements.
B. Reduction of Required Off‐Street Parking. Off‐street parking requirements may be reduced with the approval of a
conditional use permit in compliance with Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits) as follows:
1. Reduced Parking Demand. Required off‐street parking may be reduced with the approval of a
conditional use permit in compliance with the following conditions:
a. The applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required by the
Director, to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required number of spaces or that
other parking is available (e.g., City parking lot located nearby, on‐street parking available, greater
than normal walk in trade, mixed‐use development); and
b. A parking management plan shall be prepared in compliance with subsection (C) of this
section (Parking Management Plan).
2. Joint Use of Parking Facilities. Required off‐street parking may be reduced with the approval of a
conditional use permit where two or more nonresidential uses on the same site or immediately adjacent
PA2019-101
sites have distinct and differing peak parking demands (e.g., a theater and a bank). The review authority
may grant a joint use of parking spaces between the uses that results in a reduction in the total number
of required parking spaces in compliance with the following conditions:
a. The most remote space is located within a convenient distance to the use it is intended to
serve;
b. The amount of reduction is no greater than the number of spaces required for the least
intensive of the uses sharing the parking;
c. The probable long‐term occupancy of the structures, based on their design, will not generate
