Dear Ms. Stokes:
INTRODUCTION
Ganddini Group, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide professional consulting
services for the processing off a Code Amendment (CA) 17-007 and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 18-007
for the Bad to the Bone Project located in the City of San Juan Capistrano.This proposal outlines a scope of
services and budget based on the information provided by the CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO(Client)and
our understanding of the requirements for the parking study,traffic circulation study, and queuing analysis.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The following tasks are anticipated to be required:
TASK 1 PARKING STUDY
Task 1.1 Review the City of San Juan Capistrano parking code and regulations, surrounding jurisdictions
parking codes and regulations, and engineering resources for similar uses to assist in establishing
a baseline parking requirement.
• Calculate the number of parking spaces required for the project site based upon the City of
San Juan Capistrano, Municipal Code Sec. 9-3.535.
• Conduct a literature search of surrounding jurisdictions parking codes and regulations to
review requirements for similar land uses.
• Determine if other engineering resources(i.e., Institute of Transportation Engineers, Parking
Generation,4th Edition, 2010, Urban Land Institute,Shared Parking, 2nd Edition,2005,etc.)
provide similar land use parking requirements.
Task 1.2 Prepare a parking demand forecast for the proposed project based on City off-street parking
codes.Adjust calculations, if applicable to account for internal capture.
• Determine the number of parking spaces required based upon the City parking code
requirements,taking into account internal capture and tenant hours of operation.
• The study will include a shared parking analysis utilizing procedures recommended by the
Urban Land Institute (ULI). The idea of a shared parking analysis is that if the various land
uses have peak parking demands at different points in time,or on different days of the week,
then the number of parking spaces required is not the sum of the parking requirements for
each land use, but rather less. If the peak demands for the various land uses are non-
coincidental,then there is an opportunity for sharing of parking.To determine the degree to

which shared parking can occur, the cumulative hourly parking demand of the land uses is
calculated at all points in time throughout the day for both weekdays and weekends.
Task 1.3 Count the number of current parking spaces available on the site.
• Conduct a field survey of the project site by subdividing the parking field into parking zones.
The existing number of current on-site parking spaces shall be determined based upon a field
survey and confirmed with a 2nd count by field personnel.
