Subject: Otay Ranch Town Center Reimagined, Parking Assessment
City of Chula Vista
Dear Ms. Shipley:
Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) has prepared this parking study for the
Otay Ranch Town Center Reimagined Project in Chula Vista to determine the
proposed parking to be provided versus the parking required per City standards.
Figure A depicts the Project location.
A. INTRODUCTION / PURPOSE OF REPORT
The Otay Ranch Town Center project was previously approved for 960,000 square
feet of retail development on the property according to the Otay Ranch Freeway
Commercial SPA Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR). To date,
669,700 square feet (SF) of retail building area has been built at the Town Center.
It is proposed to modify the land use by including a mix of residential land uses. Of
the remaining 290,300 of the approved square footage, 144,000 SF is proposed to be
replaced by 840 multi-family residential units and the remaining 146,300 SF will be
retail uses. Development would be centered within the northern portion of the site.
Figure B depicts the Project Site.
B. REVIEW OF CITY REQUIRED PARKING

residential units is not known at this time. Based on the Table C Parking

Planning Area (SPA), adopted April 1, 2003 (Parking Requirements), the parking
required is as follows:
1. Major Regional Retail facility (greater than 500,000 SF):
4.5 spaces per 1,000 SF as an overall blended total for all uses (including
shared park & ride spaces).
The existing retail is 669,700 SF and the proposed project will add 143,600
SF.
2. Mixed-Use (Residential):
Studio units: 1.0 spaces/unit
1-bedroom units: 1.25 spaces/unit
2-bedroom units: 1.5 spaces/unit
3-bedroom units: 2.0 spaces/unit
Guest parking ratio of 0.25 is included in the above ratios
Affordable Housing units: 0.5 spaces/unit, per state standard
The Project proposes 840 multi-family units. The classification of the type of
units is not known at this time. Hence accurate parking spaces cannot be
provided at this time.
Table A summarizes the required parking for the existing and proposed land uses. As
seen in Table A, The parking provided currently is 3,773 spaces. Based on the
Parking Requirements, the parking requirement for the existing retail is 3,014 spaces.
The 146,300 SF retail will require another 658 spaces for a total of 3,672 spaces.
Therefore, the parking provided can accommodate the existing and future parking
requirements with an excess of 101 spaces.
The mix of the proposed 840 mixed use units is not known at this time. The parking
requirement is different for the studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and
affordable units. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate the required parking for the
residential units without knowing the number of each type of unit. The Project will
provide residential and visitor parking per the city code listed above, when the mix of
units is finalized.

C. CONCLUSION
There is adequate parking available for the proposed 146,300 SF of retail. However,
the mix of mixed-use units is not known at this time and the required parking will be
estimated at the time of applying for the building permits and parking at the standard
rate will be provided. There is an excess of 101 retail parking spaces. These will be
used for residential uses, and any additional required parking will be provided per
City code when the mix of residential units is finalized.
Please call with any questions.
