Background In 1977, the City of Santa Monica and Caltrans entered into a Local Agency/state Agreement which set forth the 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, supplements to the orlglnal agree:r.lent vlhich identify the 6-0 OCT <) - <i'lfl') ~JO- . ~~,~L , 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. - 3 - " 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. - 4 - - -- - . ( ~ , . Adopted and approved this 27th day of October, 1992.
