Reference: Parking Study for the Eastbluff Village Center in the City of Newport Beach
The purpose of this memo is to present a parking analysis to determine the current level of parking utilization
at the Eastbluff Village Center located at 2555 Eastbluff Drive in the City of Newport Beach, California. The
project site is located on the northwest corner of the Eastbluff Drive and Vista Del Sol intersection, with three
site access driveways—one on Eastbluff Drive (shared with the Newport Beach Tennis Club) and two on
Vista Del Oro. The shopping center consists of a total of 343 parking spaces, and a total of approximately
75,414 square feet (SF) of retail and medical uses that are leased out to various tenants. Currently, 73,551
SF of the Project is leased for retail and medical uses, and the remaining 1,863 SF is vacant.
A parking survey of the existing Eastbluff Village Center was conducted to identify peak parking usage. A
professional traffic data collection firm, Transportation Studies Inc. (TSI), was engaged to conduct the parking
survey. Parking counts were collected at approximately half-hour intervals over a twelve-hour period from 10
AM to 10 PM for three consecutive days—Thursday to Saturday—in September 2021.
In total, there are 307 regular parking spaces and 11 handicap parking spaces in the front of the shopping
center and an additional 25 parking spaces for the shopping center in the back of the lot, for a total of 343
spaces. A summary of the existing parking spaces is shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 - EXISTING PARKING SPACES
Type No. of Parking Spaces
Handicap 11
Regular – Front Lot 307
Regular – Back Lot 25
Total Shopping Center 343
The three days of parking counts that were collected at the site are summarized in Table 2. Regular and
handicap parking spaces were counted, as well as parking spaces in the back lot. Based on the parking
counts, the maximum parking demand occurred at approximately 12:30 PM on Thursday and Friday, with
parking utilization of 235 spaces and 216 spaces, respectively. On Saturday, the maximum parking demand
occurred at approximately 1:30 PM with a parking utilization of 218 spaces. This suggests that there are only
about 69 percent, 63 percent, and 64 percent of the available parking spaces occupied at the peak time on a
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, respectively. See Figure 1 for a graphical illustration of the parking counts.

FIGURE 1 - PARKING COUNTS
PARKING DEMAND
Table 3 shows the parking demand summary for the existing retail that is leased and the total number of retail
spaces.
By correlating the measured maximum parking demand of 235 spaces for the shopping center to the total of
currently leased square footage of 73,551 SF, the peak parking rate equates to 3.2 spaces per thousand
square feet. When this parking rate is applied to the total retail square feet of 75,414 SF, the expected parking
demand for entire retail center is 241 spaces, leaving a surplus of 102 spaces for the shopping center. This
indicates that with the entire shopping center leased with no vacant suites, full occupancy parking demand
would not exceed current parking supply.
