SUBJECT Introduction and F~rst Reading of an ~rdinance to Amend ar~d add Sections
to ArtECIe fX of the Santa Monica Municipal Code to Allow Sc~uare Footage
Devoted to Residential Uses to be Disco~nted by 50% When Calculating the
Development Re~iew PermGt Threshold, to Reqtaire a Deed Restriction for
any Pra~ect that Utilizes the Reduced Square Footage Prov~sion
INTRODUCTION
This repor~ recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading an ordinance to
madify sections of the Zoning Ordir~ance to allow square footage devated to residential
uses in the RVC, BCD, BSCD, C2, C3, C3-C, C4, C6, CM, and CP Districts to be reduced
by 50% for purposes of calculating the De~e~opment Re~iew permit threshold and to
modify sections ar~d add sections ta the Zon~ng Qrdinance to require a deed restriction for
praJects that utilize t~e square footage reduction The praposed ordinance ~s contamed
in Attachment B
BACKGR4UND
On March 24, 1998, the City Cauncil adopted a 45-day interim ordinance modify~ng the C3-
C Zoning District to discount by 50% the f~oor area dedicated to residential uses for
purposes af calculating the Development Review permit thresho~d On April 28, 1998, the
C~ty Council adopt~d an emergency ordinance extendEng the interim ordinance for 24
~
o~TZ~~
months and added a requirement that any new de~eEopment in the C3-C District replace
in-kind any existing on-site ~arking
The C~ty Counci{ also d~rect~d staffto in~estigatewhethercomparable issues regarding the
Development Re~iew thresholct calculation were present in other commerc~al zaning
districts In response to this request, the proposed ardinance extends the modifica~ions
provided by ~he interim and emergency ordinances to other applicable commercial zoning
d istricts
ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance is intended to pro~~de an additional ~ncent~~e forthe de~elopment
of res~dential uses in comrneraal districts by streamlining the review and appro~a~ process
ta allaw more apportunity for pro~ects with res~dential us~s to be approved administratively
The De~elopment ReWiew permit threshold determines when a p~o~ect ~s sub~ec# ta
dfscretianary re~iew, assummg r~o other discretEOnary permits are required As shown in
Attachment A, the Development Re~iew permit threshold varies between the Warious
commercial and industrial distr~cts This Attachmentalsa summanzes the different existmg
density bonus pro~isions for each commercial zoning district These bonuses were created
to pravide incenti~es for the development of residenfial uses fhroughout fhe City
Eight commercial zoning districts offer incenti~es for the de~elopment of residential ~ses,
five districts feature density bonuses and four allow for residential floor area to be
2
discounted A s~m~lar incent~ve, howe~er, ~s not pra~ided when calculating the
Develapment Re~iew perm~t threshold
While the densEty bonuses proWide for additional building floor area, the discretionary
re~iew requirement that may result from constructing the additianal square footage can
serve as a d~smcen~~ve ^iscretionary review initiates the en~ironm~ntal process, which
typically results in preparation of an Ini#ial Study ~IS), and either a Negati~e Dec~aration
{ND), a Mitigated Negati~e Declaratiar~ ~MND} or an Env~ronmental fmpact Report (EIR)
Prepanng an ISIND, IS/MND, or EIR wdl lengthen the processing time To expedite permit
processing, there is a strong incentive for applicants to submit pro~ects that do not exceed
the De~elopment Review permit threshold The result is that applicants often choose
either not ta use the floor area bonus at all or not use the bonus to its maximum potential
The proposed ord~nance, by allow~ng res~dentiaf floor area to be reduced by 50 percent,
for purposes of calculating the Devebpment Revi~w permit threshold, would permit
de~elopers to more fully take advantage of the currently-a~ailable density bonuses The
ordinance aEso establishes a consistent method for calcu9atmg residential square footage,
in relat~on to the De~elopment Review permit threshald, for all commercial zoning districts
where multi-family residen#ial uses are permitted by right The ordinance does not propase
this incenti~e in the C5 and M1 zanes because residential uses in #hese districts require
a Conditional Use Permit, which is a discretionary action Because the use itself requires
a discretionary ac#ion, provid~ng an incenti~e related to ~he Development Reviewthreshold
3
would serve no purpose The incentive is not proposed for the LMS District as residential
us~s are not permitted in this District
The ardinance a~so furthers the ob~ectives and policies af the Land Use and Housing
Elements ofthe General Pian to encourage developmen# of residential uses in commeraal
djstricts and to expand housing opportunities throughout the City The Genera! Plan and
th~ Baysrde Drstrrct Specrfic Plan include policies that encourage the de~elapment of
mixed-use commercial districts, particularly in the downtowr~ area The proposed
ordinance, by providing add~t~onal incent~ves for de~elopment of res~dential uses in
commercial distr~cts, supparts these establishecf City policies The pro~osed ordinance ~s
also consistent with policies contamed in the Land Use and Housing Element of the
General Plan Specific Land Use Element poiicEes are Policy 1 2 1 which encourages
residential mixed use af apprapriate commercially zoned parcels to provide a transition
between residential a~d commercial areas, er~hance security, and increase the hours of
use, Policy 9 3 1 which encourages the concentration of land ~ses which create actiWity in
both dayt~me and evening hours, Palicy 1 3 5 which encourages residen#ial uses in the
c~owntown, and, Policy 1 1 Q 2 which allows res~dential uses in ail comrnercial d~stricts
Specific Housing Elem~nt Policies are Pol~cy 1 2, to encourage and pro~ide incenti~es for
the development of housang m non-res~dential zones and Policy 1 5, ta periodically rev~ew
City taxes, fees, and regulations to ensure that they do not constrain hous~ng de~elopment
The proposed ordinance would also implement specific action ~terns established by
Program 1 a of the Housing Element
4
For pra~ects that talce advantage of the square footage reduction, a deed restriction wouEd
be requ~red to ensure that the residential use is maintained for the I~fe af the pro~ect
The mterim ordinance contains a provision that requires pro~ec#s in the C3-C Distnct ta
replace irt-Eund any existing on-site parkmg Because addit~onal informa#ion related to the
demand #ar and availabil~ty of parkmg in the downtown area is needed, this text
amendment does not include the on-site parking pro~ision Pending the completion of the
downtown parking study, the requirement included in the emergency ordinance will remain
~n effect The emergency ord~nance terminates on June 11, 2000 Once the parking study
~s completed, a dec~sion will be made as to whether the parking prov~s~on m~he em~rgency
ordinance should be permanently incorporated ~nto #he Zoning Ordinance
PLANMNG COMMISSION ACTION
On August 5, 1998, fhe Planning Comm~ssion indicatec! this text amendment by adopting
a Resolution af Intentian (see Attachment C) The Pfanning Cornmission re~iewed the
proposed ordinance amendments on October 7, 1998 While the Commission supported
bath #he provisian to alfaw pro~ects in commercial districts ta reduce residential floar area
by fifty percent for purposes of calculatin~ the Development Re~iew permit requirement,
and the deed restrict~on requirements, the Commission did not believe the proposal
regarding replacement of on-site parking in new development in the downtown should be
made permanent at this fime The Commission stated that park~ng avaiiabdity in the BSC
and C3-C zonmg districts should be further sfudied, as well as the situations where
replacement parkmg m~ght be required, to determme if this amendment was warranted
5
The Planning Comm~ssion suggested that this issue be cons~dered as part of the
downtown parking study and ~oted 6-0 with one abstention to recomrnend Council
approvaf of the ordmance amendment, wi#hout the replacement parkmg requirement As
previously stated, staff is not recommending that the replacement parking requirement be
mcluded ir~ the permanent ordinance at #his time
CEQA STATUS
The patential environmental impacts associated with developing the commercial zones
assuming full utilization of applicable res~dential density banuses are addressed m the
Bays~de D~str~ct Specr~c Plan Update EIR and the Commerclal Development Standards
E!R The praposed ordinance wouEd not allow addit~onal development beyond wha# is
currently permitted in the commercial districts, or allow a le~el of de~elapment that wauld
exceed that addressed in t~e enWironmental documents referenced abo~e In addition, by
providmg incenti~es for deve~opment af residential uses in commerc~al districts, the
proposed ordinance encourages de~elopment of pro~ects that are less intense than a
pro~ect cons~stEng solely of commercial uses As the praposed ordinance wo~ald not
increase or otherwise change the amount or intensity of currently permitted development,
en~ironmentaf impacts would be less than significant Therefore, in accordance w~th Article
5, Section 15061, Subsect~an {b){3) of the State af Califarnia CEQA Stafutes and
Gwdelines, the proposed ordmance is exempt from ~he provisions of CEQA

date of ti~e Council hearing A copy af the notice ~s con#ained in Attachment D
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS
The propased amendments to the Zan~ng Ordinance will not ha~e any budgetary or
financial impacts
CONCLUSION
The proposec~ ordinance would allow de~elopers to more fully take advantage of the
currently-available density bonuses, wdl streamline the review ar~d approval process, and
would create an addit~onal mcent~ve for the development of res~dential uses in commercial
and zor~ing districts, thereby creating a consistent policy approach to density bonuses and
supporting the ob~ectives, policies, and programs of the Land Use and Housing Elements
of the General Plan
