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.

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. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 10:00 AM10:30 AM11:00 AM11:30 AM12:00 PM12:30 PM1:00 PM1:30 PM2:00 PM2:30 PM3:00 PM3:30 PM4:00 PM4:30 PM5:00 PM5:30 PM6:00 PM6:30 PM7:00 PM7:30 PM8:00 PM8:30 PM9:00 PM9:30 PMParking DemandTime of Day Eastbluff Village Center Parking Survey Data Thursday 16-Sep-21 Total Friday 17-Sep-21 Total Saturday 18-Sep-21 Total Shopping Center Parking Capacity PA2022-0211 October 8, 2021 Page 4 of 4 Reference: Parking Study for the Eastbluff Village Center in the City of Newport Beach \\us0300-ppfss01\workgroup\2042\active\2042625900\traffic_trans\reports\mem_eastbluff_nb_parking_study_20211008.docx TABLE 3 PARKING DEMAND Parking Area Amount (Square Feet) No. of Parking Spaces Peak Hour Demand for Shopping Center Parking Used (%) Surplus Surplus (%) Existing Leased Retail 73,551 343 235 spaces 69% 108 31% Total Retail 75,414 343 241 spaces 70% 102 30% Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your team on this important parking study effort for the Eastbluff Village Center.
