area.
Policy: The City shall establish parking requirements in the Downtown Enhancement District
DED) identical to the requirements set forth in other areas of the Citv's coastal zone. However
in recognition of the unique parking needs and constraints in the downtown district the City may
grant exceptions to the parking requirements for new buildings, expansions, and/or intensification
of uses within the downtown district if the City can assure that there is parking available within
the DED to support beach access and the proposed development. The City may approve
exceptions for commercial development up to 96,250 square feet if the findings outlined below
are made After 96,250 square feet of new commercial development has received Coastal
Development Permits (CDP), these exceptions cannot be granted unless the Coastal Commission
certifies an amendment to the Land Use Plan.
Proms
New development, including expansions and intensifications of use shall provide parking
consistent with requirements elsewhere in the City unless the following finding are made. If the

FAR parking in excess of that existing on the site at the time of the proposal shall be

successor a„gencv 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 ofd set the increase in required parking spaces caused by the expansion,
intensification, or new construction not provided on site.
If the DEC determines that the private part is s responsible for the in -lieu fee, the private pmt
shall pay said fee as requested by the DEC.
Program: The Citv shall not acceet a fee in lieu of providing on site parking unless that the
Community Development Director assures that sufficient parking exists to accommodate the
parking demand of new development. The improvement fund to mitigate increased parking
demand shall be geared to a threshold limit of increased parking demand. The threshold limit shall
