Each and all of the findings and determinations are based on the competent and
substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
Project. All summaries of information contained herein or in the findings are based on
the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any
such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that
fact.
FINDINGS:
Conditional Use Permit Findings
1. The proposed parking structure use is one conditionally permitted within the
subject district and complies with all of the applicable provisions of the "City of
Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Ordinance", in that parking
structures are conditionally permitted in the BSC2 Zoning District. The project
complies with all relevant provisions in the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the district in
which it is to be established or located, in that the new parking structure would
replace an existing. parking structure and would provide parking for existing and
future uses within the district, thereby enabling other properties to maintain more
pedestrian-friendly commercial uses without need to provide on-site parking. In
addition, the project is designed to be compatible with the surrounding urban
context.
3. The subject parcel is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed,
in that it is a regular, rectangular-shaped parcel that can support the
programmatic needs of a parking structure, as conditioned, and that it replaces
an existing parking structure on the same footprint.
4. The proposed use is compatible with any of the land uses presently on the
subject parcel if the present land uses are to remain, in that the existing structure
will be demolished and the proposed project will be the only structure on the
property.
5. The proposed use would be compatible with existing and permissible land uses
4
within the district and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located
in that the current use at the property is also a parking structure so there will be
no change of use at the site. The proposed ground floor retail is designed to be
an improvement over the current space, which will improve the compatibility with
the surrounding area. Furthermore, the parking structure will provide additional
needed parking for the surrounding uses in the district.
6. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation, and public utilities and
services to ensure that the proposed use would .not be detrimental to public
health and safety, in that the downtown infrastructure is sufficient to support the
needs of-the parking structure. Furthermore, some of the structure's electricity
needs will be provided through the installation of a photo-volfaic solar energy
system above the structure's rooftop deck.
7. Public access to the proposed use will be adequate in that the proposed
driveways off of 2nd Street will adequately serve the parking needs, and the
bicycle parking will be directly accessible from the front of the structure. The
proposed diagonal staircase will provide safe, visible access to alt parking levels,
and the elevator lobbies as conditioned herein will be open and well-lit.
8. The physical location or placement of the use on the site is compatible with and
relates harmoniously to the surrounding neighborhood, in that the structure will
be part of a continuous streetwall without setbacks as generally found in the
downtown area. Furthermore, as a use that is being constructed for public
purposes, the structure will include storage and trash receptacle areas that will
benefit surrounding commercial uses and resolve existing issues related to trash
receptacles that protrude .into the alleys.
9. .The proposed use is consistent with the goals; objectives, and policies of the
General Plan Land Use & Circulation Element (LUCE). Land Use and Circulation
Element (LUCE) Goal D11 calls for addressing parking needs comprehensively
and Policy D11.2 states that locating additional parking resources to help
mitigate impacts on 4th Street should be considered. Additional goals include
ensuring that new Downtown buildings contribute to the pedestrian character of
downtown and are compatible in scale (D8); maintaining Downtown's competitive
advantage as a destination (D1); designing parking is designed to meet
applicable urban design. goals and minimize negative impacts on pedestrians,.
bicyclists and transit users (T25). The proposed parking structure, with
increased capacity on 2"d Street, is consistent with these goals and the policies
derived from them, providing parking for the downtown area as well as visitors to
the Santa Monica Pier and oceanfront. By maximizing the opportunity for parking
with 3'/ subterranean levels, the Parking Structure #6 replacement project is a
key component of the strategy to achieve the City's parking supply goals for the
downtown area within the height limit allowed in the Bayside Specific Plan and
will provide parking capacity for future downtown land uses to develop as
envisioned in the LUCE and to promote economic growth.
5
10. The proposed parking structure would not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or general welfare, in that it meets a recognized
need for the district, is in an accessible location and provides parking for the
downtown, Pier/oceanfront area and Givic Center.
11. Subchapters 9.04.12 and 9.04.14 of the City of Santa Monica Comprehensive
Land Use and Zoning Ordinance do not contain any special standards applicable
to parking structures.
12. The proposed use will not result in an over concentration of such .uses in the
immediate vicinity, in that the amount of parking being provided for the downtown
area is consistent with the adopted Downtown Parking Program and this
structure was anticipated in the analysis and approval of that program.
Additional Findina to Waive the Standards of SMMC 9.04.08 45 070(b)
1. Pursuant to SMMC 9.04.08.15.070(d), the City Council hereby grants a
modification to sub-section (b) of said section requiring that the ground floor level
floor-to-floor height shall be a minimum of eighteen feet within the front seventy-
five feet of the building. Based on the project plans dated 4/26/11, the Council
finds:
1) That the strict application of the provisions of this Chapter would result in
practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with its general
purpose and intent or that there are exceptional circumstances or conditions
applicable to the proposed development that do not apply generally to other
developments subject to this requirement in that the proposed public parking
structure has engineering and circulation requirements that are unique and
should be accommodated because the structure provides a public benefit that
is needed at this location to serve the downtown, oceanfront and Civic Center
areas. Furthermore, the width of the property and the ramping requirements
restrict the height of the retail space. Strict requirement of the floor-#o-floor 18
foot height would be functionally impracticable as the ramp to the second floor
of the parking structure would need to be constructed at 20% slope, which
surpasses the level of comfort for most drivers and would introduce safety
hazards as the structure is expected to be very heavily utilized.
2) That the granting of an exception would not adversely affect surrounding
properties or be detrimental to the districts pedestrian-oriented environment
in that the height of the storefront system has been designed to be 18 feet,
including front facade extensions and awnings such that the retail space will
appear to be 18 feet in height to pedestriahs on the sidewalk.
6
Additional Finding to Waive the Standards of SMMC 9.04.08.15.070(c)
1. Pursuant to SMMC 9.04.08.15.070(d), the City Council hereby grants a
modification to sub-section (c) of said section requiring a minimum depth of
seventy-five feet measured from the front of the structure for the proposed retail
space. Based on the project plans dated 4/26/11, the Council finds:
1) That the strict application of the provisions of this Chapter would result in
.practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with its general
purpose and intent or that there are exceptional circumstances or conditions
applicable to the proposed development that do not apply generally to other
developments subject to this requirement. It is appropriate to make this
exception to accommodate this parking structure because it provides a public
benefit that is needed at this location to serve the downtown, oceanfront and
Civic Center areas and because internal circulation requirements for the four
drive aisles at the rear of the structure serving both the subterranean and
upper parking levels make it infeasible to achieve the 75-foot depth across
the entire retail space within the property depth of 150 feet; and
2} That the granting of an exception would not adversely affect surrounding
properties or be detrimental to the district's pedestrian-oriented environment
in that the proposed retail space achieves a .partial depth of at least 70 feet,
and as much as 77 feet, in about three-quarters of the width, with reduced
depth in the southerly portion of the building in which a safe and well-lit
elevator lobby for the parking structure is provided, cutting into the retail
space. The proposed retail space represents an improvement to the current
parking structure's ground level provisions.
