Background
In 1977, the City of Santa Monica and Caltrans entered into

proportionate shares for federally funded
transportation/street projects between the city and the
Federal Governnent. As nevi federally funded projects for
the Clty of Santa Monica are approved for construction,

respective amounts for the city and the Federal Government
to contribute for the project must be authorized by
resolution.
The city has received approval for funding in the amount of
$1. 7 million for traffic signal improvements along Wilshire
Boulevard from the Los Angeles County Transportation
Commission (LACTC) , under the Federal Surface Transportation
Program ( STP) . These STP funds are from the 1991 Federal
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and
will be administered by Caltrans. The proposed project will
consist of installlng new traffic slgnal systems and
upgrading signal controllers at eighteen intersections on
Wilshire Boulevard.
In accordance wlth the federal guidelines for ISTEA STP
funds, these FY 1991-92 funds must be obligated (advertised)
by October I, 1992. In addltlon, the city must execute a
construction contract on or before December 31, 1992. The
Notice Invltlng Bids for construction of this project was
published on September 15, 1992. The bids were opened on
October 14, 1992 and are being evaluated.
Due to complexity of the project, the city plans to hire a
consultant to manage the construction of this project. In

restaurant seats associated with the redeveloped Pier. This num-
ber included consideration of the Ash Grove and Sinbad's proj-
ects. The parking analysis stated that there is currently ade-
quate parking available to meet the parking demand for the new
restaurants and entertainment Uses. A conditional Use Permit and
Reduced parking Permit for Sinbad's are the subject of a separate
action, also pending before the City council.
In May of 1992, the Ci ty Council approved an Alcoholic Beverage
Service Policy statement for the Santa Monica Pier. While the
proposed policy statement recommended by the Pier Restoration
Corporation included a limit on the number of alcohol outlets to
be permitted on the Pier, the Council's action did not set a
numerical limit, but stated that each alcohol permit application
should be reviewed on its own merits, until a pier Master Plan is
adopted.
On August 26, 1992, the Planning commission approved a Condition-
al Use Permit and Reduced Parking Permit to allow the issuance of
a Type-47 alcohol license for the Ash Grove. The commission ap-
proved the project by a vote of four to one, with one commis-
sioner absent and one commissioner abstaining. On August 27,
1992, the applicant appealed one of the Planning Commissionrs
conditions of approval, and on September 9, 1992, stephanie Bar-
banell appealed the overall approval of the project.

ANALYSIS
Reduced parking Permit
Code required parking for the proposed cabaret/restaurant would
be 110 spaces based on a ratio of one space for every 50 square
feet of bar area and one space for every 75 square feet of res-
taurant area. The applicant has applied for a Reduced Parking
Pernd t to allow a reduction of the required number of parking
spaces based on the fact that shared parking is characteristic of
the pier and the adjacent beach lots. The Environmental Impact
Report certified by the city council for the pier Development
Project included a parking analysis which concluded that there
are enough existing parking spaces to accommodate the existing
demand from the Pier, as well as the demand which would be gener-
ated by the Ash Grove and Sinbad's projects.
There are currently 1,210 parking spaces that serve the Pier,
with 272 spaces in the pier surface parking lot, 75 spaces at
1640 Appian Way, 706 spaces at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway, and
157 spaces at 1440 Pacific Coast Highway. The EIR concludes that
the existing peak parking demand for the pier is 939 spaces, and
that the parking demand for the Ash Grove and Sinbad's would be
101 spaces for a total of 1,040 space. This results in a surplus
of 170 spaces. During the evenings, which are expected to be the
peak demand period for the subject facility, there are substan-
tial parking resources available due to the lack of beach parking
demand. Based on these calculations, staff is recommending ap-
proval of the Reduced Parking Permit.
