Current parking policies, as contained in the Coasta Commission Certified Land Use Plan, and current parkin requirements of the zoning ordinance, do not adequatel recognize the unique circumstances, historic development an ownership patterns, and the parking needs of the downtow commercial area and are thus too stringent. As a result th current parking policies and requirements are unnecessaril discouraging potential business growth and new busines activity; B. The downtown commercial district is unique in terms of it parking needs as compared to other commercial areas withi the City for the following reasons: 1. Its location near and along a regional bike path alo the beach, which means it is easily accessible to large population by a significant alternative to a mot vehicle; 2. Its location near high density residential areas so tha many people can reach downtown destinations on foot; 3. Its historic ownership and development patterns (smal lots, small buildings, store fronts on the street, an pedestrian scale and orientation) for whic - 1 - 1400/ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 standardized modern parking standards do not apply; 4. The availability of public parking on the street and in public parking lots which are rarely used to capacity; 5. The variety and mix of commercial uses in a concentrated area which encourages shared parking trips; . 6. The evening and nighttime orientation of many of the businesses (restaurants, night clubs, coffee houses, bars) which differ from beach users peak use of parking facilities; 7. Its established history as a commercial district where users are willing to walk or ride bikes, and if driving, who do not necessarily expect to park near their specific intended destination, and thus plan ahead to visit more than one destination within the district; 8. Its location along existing and proposed public transit routes; C. Since the downtown district comparatively unique parking demand is affected by a variety of complex factors, the amount of increase in parking demand, if any, and the potential loss of beach access parking is difficult to determine. However, it can be'mitigated with a commitment by the city to construct parking to off -set measured increases in demand; D. When expansion or changes of use are proposed, businesses and commercial uses throughout the city should only be responsible for providing parking for the increased parking demand, and no longer required to bring.the entire site up to current codes; E. The proposed amendments will result in a less than - 2 - significant impact on the environment, and more specifically 1 will have a less than significant impact on parking in thel 2 downtown based on the findings noted above in section B and 3 C; 4 NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Hermosa 5 Beach, California, hereby amends the Coastal Commission certified Land Use Plan, subject to final approval by the Coastal 6 Commission as follows: 7 SECTION I: Amend the policies of the certified Land Use Plan Section III to read as follows: 8 Under B. Goals and Objectives add the following: 9 116. To recognize the unique parking needs of the pedestrian 10 oriented downtown business area --which are less than a typical commercial area because of its proximity to a 1l regional bike path and to high density residential areas --in order to maximize improvements and expansions 12 to visitor serving business activities without the burden of unnecessary parking regulations and, further, 13 to encourage alternatives to motorized vehicles in reaching downtown destinations." 14 Under C.(1.) Existing Policies and Programs; amend the first 15 policy to read as follows 16 "Policy: The City should not allow the elimination of existing on -street parking or off-street parking spaces 17 within the coastal zone. Future residential and commercial construction should provide the actual parking necessary to 18 meet the demand generated. In the pedestrian oriented downtown commercial district alternatives to providing 19 parking to meet increased demands for use should be allowed, to encourage alternatives to using motorized vehicles and to 20 encourage improvement and enhancement of visitor serving business activities.,, 21 SECION 2. Amend the policies and programs relating to downtown 22 parking to read as follows (replacing the last paragraph on page 4, the entire page 5, and the first two paragraphs of page 5a): 23 "Program: The City has established the Downtown Business 24 Area Enhancement District Commission (DBAEDC) to determine the best use of revenue funds for the downtown district which 25 will be recommended to the City Council. The proposed uses are for the acquisition, construction of new parking 26 facilities, and/or the maintenance and operation of existing parking facilities for the benefit of the area; for other 27 improvements and enhancements including, but not limited to: street, landscaping, and pedestrian sidewalk improvements; 28 public events; and the general promotion of business activities in the area" 3 _ sS. -.. -- I � L �� (��.� ` r 11.0 - .t �1` � i1t7 � Ir �i � a' � - (. r' i3 'l:..+i .C': 7 •.`: J tT . � . � � •- -L•_-, _ -. � �--.. t:` i f i 7C�W3 �` Y�'.'i.7 :::.�.. �.

When parking is required, it shall be 65% of the requirement as set forth for other areas within the City ii. Projects on smaller lots within the downtown district, because of the physical constraints to providing parking and the desire to promote a pedestrian orientation shall not be required to provide any parking when the floor area to building ratio is proposed to be 1:1 or less. Program: In order to mitigate the impacts of increased parking demand that is created by new development, but isnot compensated for by requiring additional parking spaces, the DBAEDC, or its successor agency or the private party, shall provide an in -lieu fund transfer or an in -lieu fee to an improvement fund earmarked specifically for creating parking, in an amount determined to be sufficient to off -set the increase in required parking spaces caused by the expansion, intensification, or new construction not provided on site. Program: The improvement fund to mitigate increased parking demand shall be geared to a threshold limit of increased parking demand. The threshold limit shall be established at 100 parking spaces.
