The proposed Text Amendment would affect all praperties in the
City.
Zoning Di~trict: All Districts (Citywide)
Land Use District: All Land Use Districts
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Ob~ectives of Revisions
This Text Amendment is int~nded as a"clean-up" of Part
9.O~.1Q.08 of th~ Zaning Ordinance, which governs most aspects of
otf-street parking r~quirements in the City. The propased chang-
es have several ~bjectives, as follows:
1) To clarify requirements. Since the ourrent Code was adopted
in August o~ 1988, staff has faund that various Sections lack
clarity and may be interpreted different~y by different partias.
Through the propased clarifications, tha meaning of the Cade wi~l
be more clear to City staff and members of the public.
2) To add new requirements. Tha parking standards for several
permitted uaes are nat specified in the existing Zoning Or-
dinance. Staff proposes that standards be adopted for these
uses.
- 1 -
. i,~, ~;
3)' To modify existing requirements. Four years of experience
with the existing Zoning Ordinance, plus a survey of other cit-
ies, demonstrates that some current parking standards should be
madified ta more accurately reflect the demand generated by
variaus uses.
Please note that a new numbering system was recerttly adopted for
the Zoning Ordinance. The propased Text Amendment and this staff
repart utilize the new system.
MUNICIPAL C4DE AND G~NERAL PLAN CONFORMAIdCE
The proposed Text Ainendment is consistent with the General Plan.
CEQA STATUS
The proposed Text Amendment is categorically exempt from the pro-
vis~ons of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant ta
Class 5(10) of the City of Santa Monica Guidelines far the Im-
plementatian of CEQA.
PUBLIC NOTIF~CAT~ON
Because this proposal is not site-5peClfiC~ no radius map,
signage or mailing natification is required. A legal notice was
published in the Outlook and staff has notified the Neighborhood
Sttpport Center of the proposed Text Amendment.
ATTAT.V C Tfi
Section-by Section Analysis
Brief descriptions of the rationale of the proposed changes are
pravided be~ow. Al1 references are to Attachment B, which shows
the Existing cade with propased de~etions in strike-ot~t and pro-
posed additions in bald.
9.04.10.08.20 Appliaability. This Section is intended to state
the ac~ians which trigger the necessity far conformance with Part
9.04.14.D8, "Off-Street Farking R~quirements." It has been
clari.~ied to state that any new structure, substantiai remodel,
or change of use will be required ta conform to this Part.
Depending on the requirements af this Part, th~ new structure,
substantial remodel or change of usa may or may not require addi-
tional parking o~f-street parking spaces.
9.04.10.08.030 General Pravis%ons. Additions and clarifications
are proposed far this Section.
In (b) , words are omitted which obf~zscate its intended meaning.
As revised, this subsection requires that the number of spaces
whzch were pravidad when the building was construct~d be main-
tained, or atherwise, that current standards be met.
In (c), the word "Subchapter" is rep7.aced with "Part," as the new
numbering system specifies Parts instead of subchapters.

'., J ~,
Ir {d}, the subsection ia clarified to show that additional park-
ing spaces are only required for new floor area if that new floor
area results in an additional parking requirement. In some
cases, such as an addition of floor area t4 an existing single
fami~y dweZling with a t~o-car garaga, na additional parking is
req~ired.
In (e), the text is substantially clarified and expanded ta ad-
dress three distinct situations: change of use from an existing
non-residential building, char-ge of use from an existing residen-
tial use to a non-residential use, and change of use fro~a an ex-
isting residential use to anather residential use. The proposed
changes clarify th~ principle of ~~grandparenting" existing com-
iuercial uses for nonconforming parking provided that the new com-
mercial use wauld not require more parking than the existing use.
For existing residential uses, the praposed changes require cur-
rent code parking for a change to a non-residential uses, and
allow F~grandparenting" for a change ta another residential use.
Text added ta subsection (e)(1) codifies a long-standing inter-
pretati~n by the Zoning Administrator which allows non-
resid~ntia~ buildings abandoned aver 6 months ta revert to any
permitted use which has a parking requirement no more intense
than 1 space per 300 square feet. This allows empty buildings
with non-conformihq parking to be utilized for uses such as
retail or general office, but does not a11aw such bui.ldings to be
utilized for uses such as restau~ants or places o~ assembly which
have intensive paxking req~zirements. Without this additi~nal
text, it is passib~e to ntake an alternative ~nterpretation which
would prevent any new use of a commercial building for which
there has been na legal use for aver six months,
Text added to subsection (e}(3) specifies that a residential
building with noncanforming parking which has not had a legal use
far over six months may be used for any permitted use such that
the new use does not require mare parking than the last permitted
use. This prevents an alternate in~erpretation fro~ being made
which would possibly result in a reduction of the number of
residential. una.ts permitted on the parcel.
In (g}, the text is cJ.arified to require that guest parking be
accessible to guests.
In (j ), the text is amended to allaw in each unit only one pri-
vate room af less than lOD square feet as a"non-bedraam." Any
additional such room wauld caunt as a bedroam for purpos~s of
parking. Additional proposed text further clarifies what con-
stitutes a private roam.
In (k) (3) , the words "above grade~~ are removed laecause it would
be redundant to require any parking fQr floor area devoted to
parking, regardless of the level on which said parking is
located.
In (1), the Zoning Administrator is added as the staff person
who, in conjunction with the City Parking and Traffic Engineer,
- 3 -
r ~ _ ~ 1
requires parking in the amount specified in a parking demand
ana~ysis if one is deemed necessary.
Subsection (ra) is added to clarify that Sectian 9.04.1~.08.040
does not apply if a property is located within the City's Parking
Assessment District.
Subsection (n) is added to clarify that the parking requirement
far each use in a new building is to ~e calculated separately,
unless atherwise specified.
Section 9.04.10.d8.040 Number of Parkinq Spaces Required.
Several new uses are proposed far this Section, and some parking
standards are proposed ta be changed. within each category, uses
are praposed to be alphabetized.
The following changes are proposed for the Residential categdry:
+ Artist Studio is added as a type af use with its own require-
ment. This is intended to eliminate confusion caused by this use
because it generaliy mixes residential, retail and manufacturing
uses in a space with no walls.
~ The standard for boarding hames is based on the number of beds
rathar than bedrooms, the phrase "rooming house" has been elimi-
nated and the location has been alphabetized.
+ The standard for detached single family units has been
alphabetized.
+ The standard for condomininms is revised to require ~.5
covered spaces per one-bedroom unit rather than 2 spaces, Staff
believes this is an equitable and pra-housing modification, given
that 1-bedroom units accommodate fewer residents than 2-bedroom
units and therefore, on average, must generate less parking de-
~and. A review of Z15 CaZifornia cities conducted in 1991 found
that 55 0€ those cities have a standard at or less intense than
~.5 spaces per 1-bedroom unit.
In additian, the maximum number of campact spaces is revised to
40~, which is cansistent with the maximum for commercial uses.
+ Congregate Housing has b~en added ta bring conformance with
Ordinance 1635, which modified zoning and development standards
to facilitate affordable housing.
+ A new standard has been established for detached dwel~ing
units on lots af 30' ar less in width because, with setback re-
quirements, it is difficult to accommadate a 2o'-wide garage an
such substandard lots,
+ An added standard for single family ham~s on Pacific Coast
Highway narth of the Santa Monica Fier is proposed to bring con-
farmity with the Laca1 Coastal Plan.
- 4 -
` ~ '; `s r
~ ~ ~ ~
~' Domestic v~olenae shelter is an added use ta bring conformance
with Ordinance ~635.
+ The standard for homeless shelters is revised to match Or-
dinanca 1635. In addition, this standard is moved from the cat-
egory "miscellaneous."
+ The standard for 1-bedroom multifamily ur~its units has been
revised as in the same manner as condominiums above.
+ A standard €or deed-rastricted low and maderate income multi-
famiiy housing is added, consistent with Ordinance 1635.
+"Child Day Care" is revised and put under the category of Edu-
catianal rather than residential.
+"Hotels, Motels" is removed ~ram the Residential category and
added to the Commercial category.
+ Senior group housing is revised to be consistent with or-
dinance 1635.
+ Single raam ~ccupancy and transitional housing are added to
bring cansistency with Ordinance 1635.
The following changes are proposed for the Commercial category:
+ The standard for automabile service station is clarified.
+ The standard for automobile sales is modified to eliminate a
special staridard for the repair portion of an atitomobile dealer-
ship and establish the same standard required for a free-standing
auto repair use.
+ The standard far self-service auto washing facilities is
madified to clarify that the washing stall does not count as a
parking space.
+ A standard of one space per 225 square feet is propased for
convenience markets/liquor stares. Staff has faund that the
standard far general retail (1 spac~ per 300 square feet} is in-
adequate for canvenience-type retail stores. The p~oposed stan-
dard is comparable to raquirements in Bakersfield, Burbank, Cul-
ver City, Newport Beach, Palv Alto and Redondo Beach.
f The standard for h~tels and motels is maved from the Residen-
tial category without alteratian.
} The standard for lumber yards and plant nurser~.es is alphabet-
ized without alteration.
+ A~tandard af one space per 250 square feet is established for
markets with a floor area greater than 5,004 square feet. Staff
has found that the standard far general retail (1 space per 300
square feet) is inadequate for supermarket-type retail stores.

. ~.
S~aff was unable to locate Qther cities with a separat~ standard
for large markets, although Culver City has a parking requirement
which intensifies for retail and ~ther ~om~nercial uses over
30,000 squar~ feet.
f Nate that the standard for restaurants was previous~y modified
pursuant to Ordinance 1645 (the Main 5treet Ordinance}.
f Service retail is added to general retai~ to clarify that both
types of retail have the same standard. The requirement of a
l~ading zone is omitted because it cantradicts and overlaps the
provisions of Part 9.04.10.10, Off Street Loading Raquirements.
The words ~~merchandising which is no~ located in a shopping cen-
ter" are omitted because there is no separate standard for retail
uses lvcated in a shopping center.
+ The standard for furniture and appliance stores is clarified
to apply on~y to large appliance facilities, as small appliance
stores da not require a great amount of space for disp~ay
purposes.
The following changes are proposed far the "Educatianal"
category:
+ The ward "cultural" is added ta educational in the category
heading in order to more accurately refleat the cantents.
+ The standard for libraries is alphabetized without alteration.
+ The standard far day care uses is clarified to reflect the
three categories of day care permitted by the Zaning Ordinance
and State Law, as fa~lows:
1) A small family day care home is defined by the California
Stat~ Health and Safety Code as "a home which provides fa~ily
day care to six or fewer children, inc~uding children under the
age of 10 wha reside at the home." Stat~ code further stipulates
that such use shall not be subject to any zoning restrictians
other than those which apply to the underlying residential use.
As prQposed, the standard for small fami~y day care reflects
State law.
2) A large family day care home is defined by the California
State Hea~th and Safety Code as "a home which provides ~amily day
car~ to 7 to 12 children, inclusive, including chi~dren under the
age of 1D who reside in the hflme." State code further stipulates
the parameters wzthin whiah local zaning standards may be applied
to large family day care faci~ities, which includes "reasonable"
parking requirements. The proposed additidn to the parking sec-
tion simply reiterates the existing Zoning Ordinance Performance
Standards Permit requirement for parking at large family day care
facilities (re~. SNIltiIC Sec~zon 9.04.12.030(d}.
3) A preschvol is any facility which providas day care for
young children but daes nat fall within the parameters of a small
_ ~ _
,- „ ~ s
'i _ J !
o~ large day care home. Staff believes that this requirement is
excessive, particularily given the recognized need for day care
centers/preschools in the City. Therefore, staff recommends that
the standard be revised to require one space per l0 chi~dren
(instead of per 5 children) plus .75 spaces {instead af 1 space~
per staff inember. The prapased requirement precisesly matches
the recommendation of Planning Advisory Service Report No. 422,
published by the A~-erican Planning Association in December, 1989.
It is alsa comparable to ar less restrictive than requirements in
the communities of Santa Barbara, Oakland, Santa Cruz, Manhattan
Beach and Sacramento Caunty. Many other comxr-unities, such as
Culver City and Palo Alta, do not specify requirements but rather
allow them ta be applied on a case-by-case basis with each Condi-
tianal Use Permit.
+ The standard for museums and galleries is alphabetized without
alteration.
+ The standard far private colleges is amended to include pro-
fessional business and trade schools, and the mir~imum az~aunt of
parking has been amended to match the requirement for places of
ass~mbly. Staff daes not believ~ that the parking demand gener-
ated by a private college is any different than the parking de-
mand generated by professional, bu6iness or trade schools.
Tha fol~awing changes are praposed far the HeaZth Services
category:
~ The standard for convalescent hames is ].owered from one ~pace
per 2 b~ds ta one space per 5 beds . Thi.s is based on the sup-
positian that residents of convalescent homes da not generally
create parking demand athar than that of employees or occasianal
visitars, In addition, this standard is applied to residentia~
care facilities of seven or mare oacupants in order to establish
a standard far this use, which a.s comparabZe to a canvalescent
use. Rasidential care facilities with less than 7 accupants are
di.scussed later in this category.
+ The star~dard for hospitals is amend~d ta reqtiire cne space per
2 beds and one space per 250 square feet o€ floar area far outpa-
tient use. The 1:250 standard is consistent with the standard
for medical offiaes in effect since 1988. The standard of ane
space per 2 beds is based on the International Parking Design,
Incorporated study of 115 Califarnia cities which shows that the
current Santa Monica standard of one space per 3 beds is plus one
space per 150 square feet af outpatient floor area is Zess
restrictive than most ather cities in the state. The revisian
also brings the requirement ~or outpatient uses on par with the
requirement for medica3. office uses at 1 space per 250 square
feet.
+ A standard for massage uses is established. This is the same
standard as that required for general office and most retail
uses.
- 7 -
~ l ~- ~ {..
+ The types of uses included under "medical and denta~ affices"
are clarified. In addition, a standard cf one space per 300
square feet, which is identical to the requirement for general
office and retail, is established ~ar medical uses in }auildings
where the total square footage devoted ta medical uses do not
exceed 1,000 square feet. Staff believes that relatively small
areas devoted to medical uses do not significantly impact the
demand for parking at a part~cular sit~. The propased require-
ment is similar to a standard adopted by the County af Sacramento
which al~aws a general retail parking standard for medical uses
in buildings where tl~e floor area devated to medica~ usas does
nat exceed 1D~ of the flaor area of the total building.
+ A standard of one space per 30D square £eet is established for
mental hea~th professionals in order to distinguish these uses
from medical office uses.
+ A standard for residential care facilities is established pur-
suant to the CaZifornia Health and Safety Coda, whi.ch daes not
allow any zoning restrictians an residential care facilities
beyond that required for the underlying residential u~e.
+ The standard far emergency medical centers is aliminated be-
cause these outpatient facilities would be considered the same as
medical offices.
The fallowing changes are proposed
category.
for the Industrial Uses
+ Film productian studio is added as a use with a light manufac-
turing standard {one space per 400 square feet) far the pr~duc-
tion partion of the propasal, and a general office standard (one
space per 300 square feet} for the editing and adm~nistrative
office area.
+ The light manufacturing standard is amended from a ininimum
requirement of one space per 300 squara feet to a minimum of one
space per 400 square feet. Staff bel,ieves that the current re-
quirement of ane space per 3D0 square feet, which is identical to
that required for general office uses, is excessive. In addition
ta the general abservation that manufacturing facilities general-
ly require significant amaunts of storage and equipment space,
the Internatiana~ Parking Design, Incorporated, study of ].15 Cal-
ifarnia cities shows that 94 cities have parking requirements at
ar Zess intensive than 1 space per 400 square feet.
The proposed madification would also prevent manufacturing
facilities with nonco~forming parking from converting to of~ice
use unless the subject building was out of use for aver six
months. Under the existing code, a manufacturing use in the C5
(Special Office) District with nonconf~rmi.ng parking may be re-
placed with an office use, thereby intensifying the problem of
insufficient parking.
- 8 -
_ l'.:~~
In addition, the standard for administrative office in an in-
dustrial building is revised to conform to the standard for
general office use. Staff sees na reason why administrative
offices in an industrial building would generate a higher parking
demand than general office uses.
+ The standard for Mini- WarehQUSing is alphabetiaed and revised
to require assflciated offices uses at a minimum of 1 space per
300 square feet~ consistent with the requiremeht for general of-
fice uses.
+ Language considared superfluaus is remaved fram the standard
for warehou~es.
The following changes are proposed for the Commercial Entertain-
ment and RecreatiQn category:
+ The standard for health c~ubs is alphabetized and modified.
Dance studias are included with health clubs rather than being
aasigned a separate standard. A standard af one space per 300
square feet af locker ro~mf sauna/shower area is established, and
the standard of ane space per 80 square feat is clarified to ap-
ply to exercises area only.
+ The standard for athletic court facilities is clarified.
The fvZlowing changes are proposed
category:
for the MisceZlaneous
+ The standard for places of worship is clarified.
+ The standard fon c~meless shelters is removed and replaced in
the residential category.
+ The standard for hospices with six persons or less is xemoved
and replaced with residential care faci}.ities (which inc~.ude
hospices) in the health services category.
Section 9.04.10.08.450 Reduction of Requirements. This Section
is entirely amitted because it is dup~.icated in Section
9.04.2a.26.030, "Applicabi~ity," within the Part 9.04.2D.25.a10,
"Reduced Parking Permits." This madifa.cation results in 14-day
appeal period rather than the 10-day periad specified in subsec-
tion (d) of Section 9.04.30.08.050. No ather changes result from
this deletion.
In place of "Reductian of Requirements,'~ Section 9.Q4.10.08.050
is proposed to contain "Number af Bicycle, Cargool~ and Vanpool
Parking SpaGes Required.~~
These bicycle, carpool, and vanpool parking requirements for n~w
development are included in this ordinance to fulfill
requirements far regional plans. The Las Angeles County
- 9 -
,-
_. ., ~ ~
Transportation Commissian has adQpted the Cangestion Management
Plan (CMP} which raquires ~ocalities to implement m~nimum ~icycle
and earpool parking requirements for new cQmmercial develop~ent.
The 5auth Coast Air Quality Managem~nt District, through the Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP), alsa requires that cities adopt
bicycle and earpoal parking requirements in new development.
City staff surveyed other cit~es to compare their parking
requirements far bicycles, The result~ show that the City of Los
Angeles r~quires bicycZe parking at 2~ of automabila
requirements, while Portland, West Hollywood, and San Francisco
require 5~ bicycle parking, while Santa Barbara, Seattle and
Berkeley require 14~~ 15~ and 25~ respectively.
City staff feels 5~ is a reasonable bicycle parking requirement,
when compaxed ta other cities. By adopting the proposed bicycle
parking standards, the City will also satisfy the CMP and AQMP
bicycle parking requirements.
The carpool/vanpool requirements are taken directly from the Los
Angeles Caunty Transportation Commission's CMP, which requires
local adoption of these standards by April 1, 1993.
Section 9.04.10.08.060 Desiqn Standards. Th~s Section is
amended ta allaw the City Parking and Traffic Engineer the
flexibility to require additional or different standards if
deemed necessary. Subsection (c) cantains a minor amendment
suggested by the City Parking and Traffic Engineer.
Section 9.Q4.10.48.090 Parking Aacess in the R~ and Multi-Famiiy
Residentaal Dis~ric~s. R1 has been amitted from this SeCtion
based on staff observatian that a mix of alley and street access
generally has a positive effect on Single Family Residential
Districts, in that street automobile access maintains the front
of the residence as the primary entrance of the house. Although
a~ley access prevents the front of single family hauses fram
becoming dominated by driveways and garages, it also discourages
the use of the front entrance, with the effect of isolating the
residents from the neighbarhood. By allowing new curb cuts far
singZe family houses, staff does not believe that all new single
family deve~opment will be designed with front access, as many
residents prefer a11ey access, Rather, staff believes that a
mixture of r~ar and front access wi3i b~ maintain~d in single
family neighborhoods as a result ot this amendment.
In (a}, "new" is omitted because it is redundant.
In (a)(2), the Zoning Admini~tratar and City Traffic Engineer are
established as the City staf~ wha determine that the tapography
or configuration of the subj~ct parcel precludes reasonable alley
access.
In ~a}(3}, a standard is estabiishad far the minimum change in
elevation between the front and rear af the parce~ which would
preclude al~ey access. This standard is based on staff
obsarvation since the adoption af the current code in 1988. A
- 10 -
_~~~3~
~ change in eZevation between the front and rear of the parcel may
preclude alley access because of constraints resulting from the
maximum parmitted angle for a ramp to a subterranean garage.
In (a}(4), the Zoning Administrator and the City Parking and
Traffic Engineer are given the autharity to allow curb auts due
ta traffic, circulation or safety concerns.
In (b)~ the chanqe is far clarification only.
In (c}, a clause which applied only ta R1 Districts is o~itted
and replaced with a clause requiring that existing curb cuts be
rep].aced with fu11 height curbs for new buildings and substantial
remodels which require alley access.
Section 9.04.10.OB.D9D Parking Acaess in Nan-Residential
Districts. The changes proposed far this Sectian are similar ta
the modifications propased far the above Sectian.
In (a), ~~sma11" is omitted because it is redundant.
The change in (a){2y is identical to the changa proposed in
(a)(2) for 5ection 9.04.10.08.080, above.
The change in (a){3} is identical to the change proposed in
(a)(3) for Section 9.04.10.08.080, above.
The change in (a)(5) is similar in intent to the change propased
in (a)(4) for Section 9.04.10.08.D8o, above.
The change in (c) is identical ta the change propased in (c} For
Section 9.04.10.d8.p80, above.
Sectian 9.04.10.08.100 Driveways. Minor amendments have ]aeen
suggested for this 5ection by the City Parking and Traffic
Engineer.
In (a)(2), te~rt is omitted because staff feels it is unclear and
unnecessary.
In {c) , a list o~ different multifamily districts is omitted in
favor of the more inclusive statement "multifamily residential
districts." The minimum width of a single driveway in
multifamily districts is changed from 10' ta 12', and the minimum
width of a double driveway is changed fram 20' ta 24'.
In (d}, tha minimurn width far a double driveway in commercial and
industria~. districts is changed to 24'.
In (e), a clarificatian has bean made regarding parking structure
ramps.
In (f), the text is amendad ta give the Zoning Administrator and
City Parking and Traffic Engineer added flexibility to amend the
minimum driveway widths in special circ~unstances, p~a~ided that
- 11 -

~.
circulation, traffic and sa~ety concerns are adequately
addres~ed.
Section 9.04.~0.08.120 Marking of Parking 8paces. The praposed
amendments in this Section eliminate the requirement for the
marking of parking spaces in R1 Districts and establish that, in
other districts, guest, carpool and vanpovl spaces be clear~y
marked.
Sectian 9.04.1~.08.130 Buntper Gua~ds. The word "bumper guard"
is replaced with "wheel stop" at the suggestion of the City
Parking and Traffic Engineer.
section 9.04.10.08.170 slope. Subsectivn (b) contains minor
clarifications.
Section 9.04.10.08.19~ Looation of Requirad Parking 8paces.
Subsectian (a)(~) contains a minor clarification regarding the
permissible location of off-street parking space.
Section 9.04.10.08.200 Bubterranean Parking S~ruc~ures.
Subsection (b) contains a minor clarification because unexcavated
limits now extend to bath side and fron~ yards.
Section 9.04.10.08.210 Semi-Subterranean Parking Structuras.
The possibility af ineasuring a semi-subterranean str~cture from
existing grade is eliminated because this is inconsistent with
all other portians of the build~ng which must be measured from
average natural grade. (The definitions seotion stat~s that
"thearetical grade" shall be replaced for "average natural grade"
in the Ocean Park Districts.}
Sectian 9,04.10.08.220 IIse of Required Off-Street P~rking
spaces. This Section contains minor clarificatinns relating to
the assignment of parking spaces.
Genera~ Plan Conformance
The pxopasad amendments are consistent with Objective 4.7 of the
Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) of the General Plan,
which states that "all new development should accommodate
project-generated parking consistent wz~h encouraging alternative
transportation systems management pragrams." Specifica~ly, the
propoSal is consistent with Policies 4.7.3, which encouraqes the
"mos~ efficient use of parking facilities,'~ and 4.7.6, which
ancourages '~priarity locatian of parking for van paols and car
pools" (sic).
Conclusion
The proposed Text Amendment is an impravement of the Zaning
Ordinance and is consistent with the objectives of the General
Plan and therefore warrants adoption.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended ~hat the Planning Commiss~on recommend to the
City Council adoptian of the proposed Text Amendment set forth in
Attachment B based on the following findings:
FINDINGS
1. The propased Text Amendment ~s consistent in principie
with the goals, objectives, policies, land uses and pro-
grams specified in the adbpted General P1an, in that it is
consistent with Land Use and Circulation E~ement Objective
4.7, to accammodate project-generated parking consistent
with encouraging alternative transpartation Management
pragrams, because the amendments would clarify existing
parking requirements and e~tablish more precise standards,
including minimum standards far the pr~vision of on-site
carpaol, vanpool and bicycle parking.
2, The pub2ic health, safety, and general welfare requires
adoption of the propased amendment, in that the a1c-endment
represents an impravement aver existing regulations, by
clarifying existing provisions and refining existing mini-
ntum standards .

an behalf of the Santa Monica Clu~d Care Task Force, we wauld Wce to thank you for meet~ng w~t~ us to
diseuss our concerns and questions about the City's proposal to change the parking requ;rements for child
care centers As was menttoned in our con~ersatio~, we are concerned about the proposed variation ~n
parlung re~tt~rements far new ct~ld care centers The current proposal to determme the number of
~aarking spaces required based on the cemer's num~er of children and ~taff unll not encourage the
provision of c{uatFty ct~ld care ~n Santa Momca Instead, we recoinmend a regulat~on based upon sc~uare
footage as a more equitable regulataon and one which wilI encourage the provision of ctuld caze
As you may be aware, CaIiforrva DepaRment of Social Serv~ces, Communtty Care Licensing ~s the
ass~gned regulatory bocly w~uch licenses and mon~tors all clu~d care programs. They are requued to
evaluate indoor and outdoor space in detern~ung the rnax~mum a~our~t of children pem~ss~ble on site
For preschaol age c~ldren, minimum space re~u~rements are as foliQws 75 sqe~are feet o~tdoor play
space per child and 35 unencumbered square feet indaors per cE~ld For u~fatrt care programs, thc space
requ~rerrients are rnare restncEive 75 sq~are feet o~tdoor per ctuld and 35 squarc fcet mdoor pl~s
additio~al space far napping {~ppro~cimately 15 to 20 square feet per child} 1ltinimal ailowable staffing, or
a~ultlc~ild ratios, for preschaol ~rogr~s are based upan the to~al nurnber o£ children #he site is licensed
ta serve (i e, for clvldren two to fi~e years it ~s ane adult per every 12 c~ildren) Fnfant care programs are
rec~uired to have one adult per every 4 uifanis It is irnportant to remember that these are minunurt~
hcensuig standards It Es our gaal to encaurage a!I programs to go beyond these lurntat~ons and look first
to meeting t~e nceds of cEuldreq rather than meeting add~tional regulabons By basing the City's child
care center parking requirements on numbers of cluldren or adults an si#e, progarns will in fact be
discouraged, not be encouraged, to lure staff beyond what is required of them by licens~ng standards
W~thin the e~rly cE~ildhood educat~on field, we recagruze the impartance of having adequate auFnbers of
qualifie~ staff or~ hand to provide quality care for alI yo~ng children. Should the City snainta~n its propasal
to base parking requirements on children and adults an site, progY-ams w~ll be Lmited in tt~e'sr ability to hire
addi#ional staff or w~ be £orced to enroll and ogerate at maximum capacity to meet these parlang
re~~irements. Addrt~onalfy, parkirig regulahons are appl~ed across the board far all c}-ild care centers and
do not reco~n;~.e the di$'erent staf~ng req~irements based upon ages af children sen+e~.

The Santa Mon~ca Ckuid Care Task Force proposes that the C~ty of Santa Mocuca use the sart~e c~tena for
parking requirements for chzld care centers as it does far bustnesses, that is, square footage rather than
"hod~es on site" We propase that #he City impose the follaw~ng requ~rements
for preschool programs ane parking space for every 300 square feet
for ~nfant care programs one parku~g space far every S00 square feet
As we discussed tn our meetmg, the City of San Diego rece~t~y rev-sed rts zan~ng ord~nar~ce for chtld care
centers In t}us ordinance, one parkmg space is requ~red for every S00 square feet of gross floor area for

requirements for infar~t and preschaol programs, will prornote and encourage c}uality child care in Santa
Man~ca, wt~le recogn»~~g the community need for aciequate pariang in a dense~y populated city
We look forward tv the Pjaruvng Commission's approval of tt~s proposal We would be happy to speak
unth yau or the Planning Commissianers further ~f you har+e any quest~ons or req~x~re add~rion~al
}nf'arrnation We urge the City of Santa Monica to approve the TasiC Force's propasat to deterr~une
parlung requuements based upon the squaze foatage of the child care center We strongly beheve that
Santa Momca's park~ng requirements must be created v+~th a recogution vf the State (aws and regulations
governing child care centers. It ~s most im~ortant that the Crty's regula~ions encaueage ctuld care centers
to ga beyond these rnirumum standarc3s, rather than limit themsel~es to vperating withiri nanowly defined

centers In t}us ordinance, one parkmg space is required for every 500 square feet of gross ~oor area for

requirements for u~fant and preschool prQgrams, wili promote and encourage c~uality clvtd care in Santa

information We urge the City of Santa Monica to appro~e the Task FoFCe's proposal to determine
pazking requirements based upon the square footage af the c~ild care ceoter We strongly beiieve that
Santa Moruca's parlang requirements must be created with a recogrutian of thc State taws and regulations
governing child care centers It is mvst impartant that the City's regu~ations encourage child care centers
to go beyand these minimum standards, rather than limit themselves t~ operating w~thin nar~'owly deSned
