It is our understanding that the project will consist of developing a restaurant into the existing space currently occupied by a dry-cleaning business (Pacific Shores Cleaners). The site is located at 3021 East Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. INTRODUCTION The Pacific Shores Cleaners is currently vacant but previously occupied 1,202 square feet of space. The proposed restaurant will operate in the same space as a standalone entity. Attachment A provides the layout of the individual uses and the overall site. Currently, there are 70 parking spaces available on site (66 regular spaces and 4 handicap spaces). Previously, a parking study was prepared for the Jan’s restaurant and the Orangetheory development in October 2016 that indicated there were 71 parking spaces. It is unclear if on-site restriping of the parking lot may have eliminated one of the parking spaces but the current count of 70 parking spaces has been field verified. On- street parking spaces are also provided along the perimeter of the shopping center as follows based on the observed number of vehicles parked: Pacific Coast Highway (South Side Only) 1 Hr.

Pkg. 11 spaces First Street (Both Sides) 12 spaces Iris Street (Both Sides) 16 spaces Total Off-Site 47 spaces The intent of this parking study is to determine the current parking demands and estimate the future parking demands based on the proposed restaurant. The following scope of work represents the services conducted to evaluate the adequacy of the number of parking spaces at the current and proposed site. 1. Conducted parking counts between 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM on a weekday and between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM on a weekend. 2. Identified the maximum number of occupied parking spaces based on the empirical counts. 3. Determined the project’s parking demand based on the proposed square footage utilizing the City’s parking demand rates. 4. Determined the parking demands based on other vacancies. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKING CODE REQUIREMENTS As indicated previously, the project is proposed to be located within an existing commercial center that has the following parking requirements based on the City’s coded and previously approved parking waivers: Verizon 9a 9p – 2,246 sf (1 space/250 sf) 9 sp La Fogata (Mexican restaurant): 9:30AM- 9PM–1,181 sf 5 sp per UP 3235 Pacific Shores Cleaners: 7a-7p; Sat 9-5; Sun closed – 1,202 sf (1 space/250 sf) 5 sp Gina's Pizza: 10a - 9 – 1,100 sf – 0 sp per UP 1761 Smart & Final: 6a - 10p – 19,842 sf (1 space/250 sf) 91 sp per UP 3650 1 Page: 2 Number: 1 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Cross-Out Date: 03/16/2020 8:58:58 AM Mr. Mark Moshayedi 3021 East Coast Highway LLC. February 14, 2020 Page 3 Trames 0332-0001 Jan’s (1,243 sf restaurant); 8AM-6PM 4 sp per UP 2016-037 Orangetheory: 5AM-8:30PM (2,783 sf) 12 sp per UP 2016-031 Total Spaces Required for Existing Uses 126 sp The following parking rate is based on the City of Newport Beach’s Municipal Zoning Code 21.40.060 for the use associated with the proposed site: • Food Service Uses = 1 parking space for each 30 to 50 square feet of net public area The proposed restaurant is anticipated to operate between 6:30 AM and 10:00 PM and would include a total of 1,202 sf. About half of this space (599 sf) would be used for the public area. According to the code requirements, the parking rate ranges between 1 space for 30 and 50 square feet of public area. The variability is based on physical and operational site characteristics and location of the establishment. In order to estimate the number of parking spaces that this project would require, the middle of the range has been applied (1 space per 40 square feet of public use). Therefore, the following number of parking spaces would be required for the proposed 1,202 sf (599 sf of public area) project: • Restaurant = 15 spaces (15 spaces = 599 sf * 1 sp/40 sf) • Existing Pacific Shore Cleaners = 5 spaces Net additional spaces required = 10 PARKING SURVEY As indicated previously, the study area consists of 70 on-site parking spaces and 47 off- site (on-street) parking spaces. A parking count was conducted on Thursday, September 19, 2019 between the hours of 5:00 AM – 10:00 PM. A weekend survey was also conducted on Saturday, September 21, 2019 between the hours of 6:00 AM 1 2 3 Page: 3 Number: 1 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Sticky Note Date: 03/16/2020 9:24:25 AM Verify these hours are correct.

Attachment B contains the empirical parking survey for the weekday and weekend time periods. The highest demand on the weekday occurred at 11:00 AM with a total of 96 occupied spaces for an overall utilization rate of 82.1% (96 occupied stalls/117 total on and off site stalls). The 11:00 AM period had an on-site demand of 61 stalls which resulted in a utilization of 87.1% (61 occupied stalls/70 total on-site stalls). The offsite utilization was determined to be 74.5% (35 occupied stalls/47 total off-site stalls). Based on a supply of 117 parking spaces, a surplus of 21 parking spaces were available during the peak weekday demand period. The weekend had the highest demand of 101 occupied parking spaces occurring at 12:00 PM for an overall utilization rate of 86.3% (101 occupied stalls/117 total on and off-site stalls). The 12:00 PM period had an on-site demand of 63 stalls which resulted in a utilization of 90.0% (63 occupied stalls/70 total on-site stalls). The off-site utilization was determined to be 80.9% (38 occupied stalls/47 total off-site stalls). Based on a supply of 117 parking spaces, a surplus of 16 parking spaces were available during the peak weekend demand period. It should be noted that the Pacific Shore Cleaners was not in operation at the time that the parking counts were collected. CONCLUSIONS Based on the City’s parking code and previously approved parking waivers, the existing commercial center currently requires a total of 126 on-site parking spaces. With the proposed restaurant occupying the Pacific Shore Cleaners space, a total of 136 on-site parking spaces would be required based on the City’s code (126 currently required spaces + 10 for the net expansion). 1 2 Page: 4 Number: 1 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Polygon Date: 03/16/2020 9:05:53 AM Number: 2 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Sticky Note Date: 03/16/2020 9:07:24 AM Limit this discussion to on-site parking only. Off-site counts should be under the parking management plan to show mitigation. Mr. Mark Moshayedi 3021 East Coast Highway LLC. February 14, 2020 Page 5 Trames 0332-0001 The commercial center provides for 70 on-site parking spaces with 47 off-site parking spaces on the adjacent streets. This results in a total of 117 parking spaces available for patrons. In order to determine the actual parking demands, empirical parking counts were collected during the peak timeframe on a weekday and weekend. The counts indicate the highest demand occurred on a weekend with 101 out of the total 117 parking spaces were occupied (86.3% utilization rate). This results in an excess supply of 16 spaces. Since the Pacific Shores Cleaners was not in operation at the time the parking counts were collected, the 5 parking spaces attributed to this use cannot be subtracted from the proposed restaurant expansion. Based on the City of Newport Beach’s parking code, the proposed expansion project would require a total of 15 additional parking spaces. Therefore, assuming that the proposed project’s parking demands occur concurrently with the shopping center’s peak, there would be an excess supply of one parking space (16 unoccupied parking spaces – 15 project parking spaces = 1 excess space). The analysis presented above can be considered a conservative estimate of the site’s parking demands for the following reasons: 1. The empirical data was collected during the month of September. The summer months are considered the busiest time of the year in terms of traffic and visitors to the area. Therefore, it is assumed that patronage to the site would be commensurately higher during the summer and less so during other months. 2. It is anticipated that the proposed restaurant would not draw patrons from a far distance. Furthermore, it is expected that some of the clients will walk or bike to the site – thereby reducing the need for parking spaces. 3. The parking analysis has assumed that the project is a standalone development and that no sharing of parking would occur. Since other compatible uses would be present, it is likely that customers would use the same parking space to patronize multiple businesses. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Page: 5 Number: 1 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Cross-Out Date: 03/16/2020 9:10:27 AM Number: 2 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Cross-Out Date: 03/16/2020 9:10:43 AM Number: 3 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:11:56 AM 63 Number: 4 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:12:11 AM 70 Number: 5 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:12:37 AM 90 Number: 6 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:12:56 AM 7 Number: 7 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:13:36 AM a deficit of eight Number: 8 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:14:01 AM 7 Number: 9 Author: dblumenthal Subject: Inserted Text Date: 03/16/2020 9:14:58 AM Mr. Mark Moshayedi 3021 East Coast Highway LLC. February 14, 2020 Page 6 Trames 0332-0001 4. The rise in the use of Lyft/Uber services has reduced the parking demands for commercial uses since patrons would not use their own vehicles and therefore not require a parking space. The analysis in this report has not taken into consideration the potential parking reduction that the Lyft/Uber services could provide. Therefore, the conclusions can be considered conservatively high. If there are any questions regarding the analysis, please do not hesitate to call me at (949) 244-2436.
