The formulae set forth above were developed utilizing the demand criteria for different
times of day established in the April 25, 2011 Yahoo Center Parking Demand Study
prepared by Linscott Law & Greenspan ("Parking Demand Study"), incorporated herein
by reference.
C. Example
For illustrative purposes only, application of the formulae to one of the reasonably
anticipated mix of uses on the Property is shown below and in Table 3 of the Parking
Demand Study. This application of the formulae shown below would require a total of
1,938 parking spaces to be provided to meet the peak parking demand of the on-site uses
which would authorize the leasing of up to 1,053 parking spaces to non-tenants.

subject: Center at 2425 Colorado Avenue in the City of Santa Monica
This Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan has been prepared by
Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) for the Yahoo Center located at 2425
Colorado Avenue in the City of Santa Monica. The TDM plan has been provided in
conjunction with the request by the Yahoo Center to modify its Development
Agreement with the City of Santa Monica to permit the leasing of parking spaces to
non-tenants.
The Yahoo Center is an existing office complex located at 2425 Colorado Avenue in
the City of Santa Monica, California. The Center encompasses the block generally
bounded by 26th Street to the east, Cloverfield Boulevard to the west, Colorado
Avenue to the south, and Broadway to the north. The Yahoo Center complex
provides a total of 1,024,074 square feet of building floor area, with space primarily
leased to office tenants, but includes some ground floor commercial space for retail
and restaurant uses. Approximately 3,086 parking spaces are provided on-site at the
Yahoo Center in a three-level subterranean parking structure.
Transportation Demand Management Plan
A TDM plan has been prepared for the Yahoo Center as to reduce vehicular traffic
and parking generated by the development. Currently, individual tenants at the
Yahoo Center are required to prepare and submit an Employee Trip Reduction Plan
(ETRP) to the City of Santa Monica in accordance with the requirements set forth in
Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) 9.16 (Transportation Management).
Performance Measurement and Standards
The Yahoo Center shall conduct employee transportation surveys in
accordance with policies and procedures set forth by the City of Santa Monica
for purposes of establishing a baseline average vehicle ridership (AVR).
Individual tenants within the Yahoo Center with 50 or more employees that
prepare Employee Trip Reduction Plans (ETRP) under City Code Section
9.16.070 shall not be required to participate in the additional transportation
survey; these qualified tenants shall make their employee transportation
survey data available to the Yahoo Center Employee Transportation
Coordinator such that asite-wide AVR can be determined.

Expo line is complete and operating as currently anticipated.
• After the completion of the first employee transportation survey, subsequent
surveys shall be conducted at the Yahoo Center on an annual basis for
purposes of measuring AVR, assessing the progress towards attainment of the
target AVR, and determining potential modifications to the TDM plan to
enhance performance. Any plan revisions will be made consistent with the
procedures provided in City Code Section 9.16.070.
