Objectives of Revisions
This Text Amendment is intended as a'~clean-up" of Part
9.04.10.08 of the Zoning Ordinance, whfah gaverrts moat aspects vf
off-street parking requzrements in the City. The proposed chang-
es have several objectives, as fol.lows:
~} To c3arify requirements. Since the current Cvde was adopted
in August af 198g, sta~f has found that various SectiQns lack
clarity and may be interpreted differently lay dif~er~nt parties.
Through the prapased clarifications, the meaning of the Code wil~.
be more clear to City staff and members of the pub].ic.
2y To add new requirements. The parking standards for several
permitted uses are not specified in the existing Zoning Or-
dinance. Staff proposes that standards be adopted for these
uses.

; ~ .'1 ~7 C
3) To madify existing reguirements. Four years of experienee
with the existing Zoning ordinance, plus a survey of other cit-
ies, demonstrates that same current parking standards should be
modified to more accurately reflect the demand generated by
various uses.
please nate that a new numbering system wa~ recently adopted far
tha Zaning Ordinance. The proposed Text Amendment and this staff
report utili~e the ngw system.
MUNICIPAL CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
The praposed Te~rt Amend~aent is consistent with the General Plan.
CEQA STATUS
The proposed Te}rt Amendment is categorical~y exempt fram the pro-
visions af the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to
Class 5(10) of the City o€ Santa M~nioa Guidelines for the Im-
plementation of CEQA.
PUBLIC NOTIFYCATION
Becausa this proposal is n~t site-speci~ic, no radit~s map,
signage or mailing notification is required. A leqal natice was
published in the Dut~ook and staff has notified the Neighborhaod
Support Center of the proposed Text Amendment.
ANALYSIS
Section-by sectian Ana].ysis
B~ief descriptians of the rationale of the proposed changes are
pravided below. All zeferences are to Attachment B, which shaws
~he existing code with prapased delet~ons in strike-out and pro-
posed additions in bald.
9.04.10.08.20 Applic~hilfty. This Section is intended to ~tate
the actions which trigger the necessity for conformance with Part
9.04.10.08, "Off-Street Parking Requirements." It has been
clarified to state that any new structure, substantial remode3R
or change of use wili be required ta canform to this Part.
Depending on the requirements of this Part, the new struct~re,
substantial remode~ or change of use may ar may nat req~ire addi-
tional parking off-street parking spaces.
9.04.10.08.030 General Provisxons. Additions and c~arifications
are proposed ~or this Section.
In (b), words are amitted which obfusaate its i.ntended meaning.
As revised, this subsection requ~res that the nwaber of spaces
which were provided when the building was constructed be main-
tained, or otherwise, that current standards be met.
~n (c), the ward "Subchapter" is replaced with "Part," as the new
numbering system specifies Parts instead of subchapters.
~ 2 ` ~Q~~U
~~ _ '~ ~.r C
In (d)~ the ~ubsection is clarifi~d to show that additional park-
ing spaces are only required for new floor area if that new floar
area resu~ts in an additional parking requirement. ~n some
cases, such as an addition of floar area to an existing sing~e
family dwelling with a two-car garage, no additi~nal parking is
required. '
In (e), the text is substantially clarified and e~aanded to ad-
dre~s three d~stinct situations: change of use from an existing
non-residential building, ahange ~f use from an existing residen-
tial use to a non-residential use, and change of use from an ex-
isting residential use to another residential use. The propased
changes clarify the principle of "grandparenting" existing com-
mercial uses for nonconfonaing parking provided that the new com-
mercial use would not require ~are parking than the existing use.
Fvr existing residential uses, t}ie proposed changes require cur-
rent code parking for a chang~ to a non-residential uses, and
allow "grandparenting" for a change to another residential use.
Text added to subsection {e){1} codifies a long-standing inter-
pretation by the Zoning Administrator which aZlcws non-
residential buildings abandoned over 6 months to revert to any
permitted use which has a parking requirement no more intense
than 1 space ~er 300 square feet. This allaws empty buildings
with non-canforming parking to be ~tilized for uses such as
retail or general office, b~t does not allow such buildings to be
utilized for uses such as resta~xrants or p~aces of assemb].y which
have intensive parking requirements. Without this additianal
text, it is possible ta make an alternative interpretation which
would prevent any new use of a conunercial building for which
there has been no ~egal use ~or aver six months.
Text added to subsection (e)(3~ specifies that a residential.
building with nonconforntinq parking which has nat had a legal use
for ov~r six manths ~may be used for any permitted use such that
the new use does not require more parking than the last permitted
use. This prevents an alternate interpretation from being made
which wauld pvssibly resu~t in a raduction of the rns~her o~
residentiaZ units permitted an th~e parcel.
In tq) , the te~. ~s clarified to require that guest parki.ng be
accessible to guests.
~n ( j}, the text is amended to allow in each un~t only one pri-
vate room af less than 1Q0 square feet as a"non-bedroom.e' Any
additianal such room would count as a bedroom for purposes af
parking. Additiana~ proposed text further ~3arifies what con'
stitutes a private room.
In (k)(3), the words '~above grade" are remaved because it would
be redundant to requ~re any parking far floar area devoted to
parking, regardless of the level on which said parking is
located.
In (1), the Zoning Administrator is added as the sta~f person
who, in conjunction with the City Parking and Traffic Eng~neer,
- s - 00~3i
~,~'31
requires parking in the amount specified in a parking demand
analysis i~ one is deemed necessary.
Subsection (m) is added to clarify that Section 9.04.10.~8.040
does nat apply if a property is ~ocated within the City's Farking
Assessment District.
Subsection (n) is added to clarify that the parking requirement
for each use in a new building ~s to be calculated separately,
unless atherwise specified.
Section 9.04.10.08.040 Number of Parkinq Spaces Requirad.
Several new uses are praposed for this Section, and same garking
standards are proposed to be changed. Withi.n each category, uses
are pr~posed to be alphabetized.
The fol~owing changes are proposed for the Residential category;
+ Artist Studio i,s added ae a type of use with its own require-
ment. This is intended to el~.miaate confusian caused by this use
because it generally mixes residentia~f retail and manufacturing
uses in a space with no walls.
+ The standard far boarding homes is based on the number of beds
rather than bedraoms, the phrase "rooming house" has been elimi-
nated and the location ha~ been a}.phabetized.
f The standard for detached single fa~ily units has been
alphabetized.
+ The standard for aondominiums is revised to require 1.5
covered spaces per cne-bedroom unit rather than 2 spac~s. Staff
believes this is an equi.tsbie and pro-housing modificat~on, given
that 1-bedroom units acaomaaadate fewer residents than 2-bedroom
units and therefare, an average, must ge~nerate less parking de-
mand. A review cf lI5 California cities canducted in ~.991 found
that 55 of thase cities have a standard at or less intense than
l.~ spaces per 1-bedroom unit.
In addition, the maximum m~~+~er of campact spaces is revised to
40~, which is cansistent with the maximum for cam?~~rcial uses.
} Congregate Housing has been added ta bring conformance with
Ordinance ],635, wha.ch modified zaning and develap~ent standards
to faci~itate affordable hausing.
+ A new standard has been established fvr detached dwell~.ng
units an lats of 30' or less in width because, with setback re-
quiremants, it is difficu].t to accammodate a 20'-wide garage on
such substandard lvts.
+ An added standard for single famf.ly homes on Pacific Coast
Highwa~t nerth of the Santa Monica Pier i~ proposed to bring con-
formity with the Local Coasta]. Plan.
- 4 -
~ , ~ 3 ~
+ Damastic violence shelter is an added us~ to bring confor~aance
with Ordinance ~535.
+ The standard for ho~eless she~ters is revised to match OrW
dinance 1535. In addition, this standard is moved fram the cat-
egory "miscellaneous."
+ The standard for ~-bedroom multifamily units units has been
rev~sed as in the same manner as condominiums abcve.
+ A standard €or deed-restricted lcw and mcderate income multi-
family hou6ing is added, cansistent with Qrdinance 2535.
+"Child Day Care" is revised and put under the categary of Ed~-
cational rather than residential.
~"HOte~s, Motels" is rex~oved from the Residential category and
added to the Cammercia]. category.
+ Senior group hausxng is revised to be cvnsistent with Or-
dinance 1635.
+ Single room accupancy and transitional housing are added to
bring consistency with Ordin~xnce 1635.
The follawing changes are praposed for the Commercial category:
+ The standard far automobile servioe ~tation is clarified.
~ The standard for automobile sales is modified to eliminate a
special standard for the repair portion of an automobile dealer-
shig and establish tha same standard requ~red for a free-standing
auto repair use.
+ The atandard far self-service auto washing facilities is
moda.fied ta c~arify that the washing stall does not count as a
parking ~pace.
+ A standard af one space per 225 square feet is propased for
convenience markets/liquor stores, Sta~f has faund that the
standard for general retail (1 space per 300 square feet~ is in-
adequate for convenience-type retai3 stores. The proposed stan-
dard is contgarahle to requirements in Sakersfi~ld, Burbank, Cul-
ver City, Newpart Beach, Palo Alto and Redondo Beach.
+ The standard fon c~te~.s and motels is moved from the Residen-
tial categary without a3teration.
f The standard for lumber yards and plant nurseries is alphabet-
ized without alteration.
+ A standard of one space per 250 gquare feet ie estab].ished for
market~ with a~loor area greater than 5,000 square €eet. staff
has found that the standard for general retail ~~ space per 300
square feet) is inadequate for supermarket-type retaiZ stores.

r~~~^~^
._.~ J ~.
S~aff was unable to locate other cities w~th a separate standard
for larqe markets, aZthough Culver City has a parking requirement
which intensifies for retail and other commercial uses over
30,000 square feet. _
~ Note that the standard for re5taurants was previously madif~ed
pursuant to Ordinance 1645 (the Main Street ordinance).
+ S~rvice reta~l is added to general retail to clarify that both
types of retaiZ have the same standard. The requirement of a
loading zone is omitted because it contradicts and overlaps the
provisions of Part 9.04.10.Z0, Off Street Loading Requirements.
The words "merchandising which is nat ~ocated in a shopping cen-
ter" are amitted because there is no separate standard for retail
uses located in a shogping center.
+ The standard for furn~ture and appliance stores is clari~ied
to apply on].y to large appliance facilities, as small appliance
stores do not require a qreat amaunt of space for display
purposes.
The fo~lowing changes are proposed for the "Educational"
category:
+ The ward '~culturaZ" is added to sducational in the eategary
heac7ing in order to mare accurately reglect the contents.
+ The standard for ~~brarias f~ aXphabetized withaut aZteration,
+ The standard for day care uses is clarified to reflect the
three categories of day care penaitted by the Zoning Ordinance
and Stata Law, as follows:
1) A small family day care home is defi.ned by the California
5tate Health and Safety CQde a~ "a home whiah provides famiiy
day care to six ar fewer children, including children under the
age af ZQ who reside at the home." State code further stipulates
that such use ~hall not be subject to any zaning restrictions
other than those which apply to the underlying residential use.
As propased, the standard for sma11 family day care reflects
state law.
2) A large fam~iy day care home is defined by the California
state Health and Safety Cade as ~~a home which provides family day
care to 7 to 12 chi~dren, inclusive, inaluding children under the
age of ~0 who reside in the home." State code further stipulates
the parameters within wh~.ch local zoning standards may be applied
to large famiZy day care facilities, which includes "reasonable"
parking requirements. The proposed additfon to the parking sec-
tion simpZy reiterates the existing Zoning ~rdinance Performance
Standards Permit raquirement for parking at larqe fa~ily day care
facilities (ref. SMMC Sect~ian 9.04.I2.Q30(d).
3} A preschool is any faci~ity which provides day care for
young children but does nat fall within the parameters of a sma11

or large day care home. Staff be~ieves that th~s requirement is
excessive, particulari~y given the recagnized need far day cara
centers/prsschools in the City. Therefore~ staff recommends that
the standard be revised to require one space per 10 ch~ldren
(instead af per 5 children) plus .75 space~ (instead of 1 space)
per staff inember. The proposed requirement precisesly matches
the recommendation of Planning Advisory Service Report No. 422,
published by the American Planni.ng Association in Decamber, 1989.
It is alsa comparable to or less restrictive than requirements i.n
the cammunities of Santa Barbara, oakland, Santa Cruz, Manhattan
Seach and Sacram~nto County. Mahy ather ca~~~znities, such as
Cu3.~er City ~nd Pa~o Alto, da not speci.fy requirements but rather
allow them to be app~ied nn a case-by-case basis with each Candi-
tional Use Permit.
f The standard for me~seums and galleries i~ alphabetized withaut
alteration.
+ The standard for private coZleqes is amended to include pro-
fessiona3. busines~ and trade schools, and the minimum amount af
parking has been amended to match the requirement for p~aces af
assembZy. Staff does not believe that the parking demand gener-
ated by a private callege is any different than the parking de-
~and generated by professional, business or trade schools.
The following changes are propased for the Health Services
category:
+ The standard fvr convalescent homes is lowered fram one space
per 2 beds ta one space per 5 beds. This is based on the sup-
position that res~denta of convalescent homes da not generally
create parking demand other than that of emplcyees ar accasional
visitors. In addit~.on, this standard is appZied to residential
care facilities o~ saven ar more occupants in order to establish
a~tandard for this use, which is comparable to a convalescent
use. ResidentiaZ care faci].ities with le~s than 7 accupants are
discussed later in this category.
+ The standard fox hospitals is amended to require one spaae per
2 beds and one space per 250 square feet of flocr area for outpa-
tient use, The 1:250 stzsndard is ccnsistent with th~ standard
for medical vffices in effect since 1988. The standard of ane
space per 2 beds is based on the International Parking Design,
Incorporated study af 1Z5 California c~ties which shows that the
current Santa Monica standard of one space per 3 beds is p~us ane
space per 150 square feet of autpatient floar area is less
restrictive than most other cities ir~ the state. The revision
also brings the requi=ement for outpatient uses on par with the
requirement for medical affice uses at 1 space per 250 square
feet.
f A standard for massag~ uses is established. This is the same
standard as that required for genaral office and mast reta~l
uses.
- 7 -

r ~ _ ~ r
+ The t~rpes af uses incluaed under "m~d~ca1 and dental offices"
are clarified. In additian, a standard of one space per 300
square feet, r-rhich is identical to the r~quirement for general
office and retail, is establa.shed_~or medical uses ~n build~ngs
where the total square footage devoted to medical uses do not
exceed 1,~00 square feet. Staff believes that relativeiy smaZl
areas devoted to medical uses do not significantly impact the
demand for parking at a particular site. The prapased require-
ment is similar ta a standard adopted by the County of Sacramento
which a~lows a general retail parking standard for medical uses
in buildings where tY~e flaor area devoted to medical uses does
not excesd 10~ of the floar area of the total building.
+ A standard of one space per 300 square feet is ~stab~ished for
mentaY health prcfes6iona~s in arder ta distinquish these uses
from medical office uses.
+ A standard for res~dential care facilities is established pur-
suant ta the California Health and Safety Code, which daes nat
al~.ow any zcning rastriatians an residential care facilities
beyand that required for the underlying residential use.
f The standard for emergency medical centers is eliminated be-
cause these outpatient faciZ~ties ~rould be considered the same as
medical offices.
The followinq changes are proposed for the Industrial Uses
categary:
+ Fi].m praducticn studio is added as a usa with a light manufac-
turing standard (one space per 404 square feet) for the produc-
tion portian of the praposal, and a general office standard (one
space per 300 square feet) for the editing and administrative
office area,
} The light manuf$cturing standard is amended tram a minimum
requirement of one space per 3D0 squara feet to a minimum of one
spaee per 400 square feet. Staff believes that the current re-
quirement of ane space per 300 square feet, which is identical to
that requ~.red far general offiae uses, is excessive. In addition
to the general observat~on that manufacturing facilities general-
ly raquire significant amounts o~ starage and equipment space,
the ~nternational. Parking Design, Incorporated, study of ~15 Cal-
ifornia cities show~ that 94 cities have park~ng requirements at
or less intensive than 1 space per 40o square feet.
The proposed modification wauld alsc prevent manufacturing
facilities with nonconforming parking from converting to office
use unless the subject building was eut of use for aver six
months. Under the existing code, a manufacturing use in the C5
(SpeciaZ Office) District with nonconfonaing p$rking may be re-
placed with an office use, thereby intensifying the problem of
insufficient parking.
- 8 -
~,C3~
In additian, the standard for administrative office in an ~n-
dustrial bui~ding is revised ta conform to the standard for
general a~fice use. Staff sees no reason why administrative
offices in an industrial buildinq would generate a higher parking
demand than general office uses.
+ The standard for Mini~ Warehousing is alphal~etized and revised
to require as6ociated offices uses at a minimum of 1 space per
300 square feet, consistent with the requirement f~r general of-
fice uses.
+ Language cansiderad superfluous ~s removed fra~ the standard
for warehouses.
The fa~lowing changes are propos~d for the Cammercial Entertai~-
ment and Recreation category;
+ The standard for hea~th clubs is alphabetized and moda.fied.
Dance studios are inc~uded w~th health clubs rather than baing
assigned a separate standard. A standard of one space per 300
square feet of locker raom/sauna/shower area is estab].ished, and
the standard of one space per 80 square feet is c~arified to ap~-
ply to exercises area only.
+ The standard for athletic caurt facilities is clarified.
The fallowing changes are praposed for the MiscellaneQUs
category:
+ The standard far places of worship i.s clarified.
{ The standard for homeless she~ter~ is removed and rep~aced in
the residential category.
+ The standard far hospiaes with six persons or less is removed
and replaced with residential care facilities (which include
hospice~) in the health services cateqory.
Sectian 9.04.10.08.Q50 Reduatian of Requirements. This Section
is entirely omitted because it is duplicated in Section
9.04.20.26.Q30, "Applicakaility," withiTi the Part 9.d4.24,26.aia,
"Reduced Parking Permits." This modification results in 14-day
appea~ period rather than the lo-day period specified in subsec-
tian (d} of 5ection 9.04.1Q.08.0~0. No other changes result fram
this deletian.
Zn place of "Reduction o~ Requirements," Sect~on 9.04.10.08.~5D
is proposed to contain "N»~h~X of Bicycle, Car~aol, and Vanpoal
Parking Spaces Required."
These bicycle, carpool, and vanpool park~.ng requirements for new
de~elapment are included in this ordinance ta fulfill
requirements for regiara~ p~ans. The Los Angeles County
~ g ~
r , ~, ..
,~_., t
Transportation Camn~is~ion has adopted the Congestion Manag~ment
Plan (CMP) which requires lacalities to implement mini~um bic~c~e
and carpool parking requirements far new CGmmQrCla1 deve3op~ent.
The 5outh Caast Air Qua~xty Managemen~ District, through the Air
Quality Management P~an (AQMP), a~so requires that cities adopt
bicycle and carpaol parking require~ents in new development.
City staff surveyed other
requiremants far bicycles. T]
Angeles reqnires bicycle
requirements, while Port].and,
require 5~ bicycle parking~
Berkeley require 14$, 15~ and
cit~es to compare their parkinq
ie resu~.ts show that the City of Las

We&t Hellywood, and San FranCisco
while Santa Barbara, Seattle and
25$ respective~y.
City sta~f gee3s 5~ is a reasanable bicycle parking require~nent,
when campared to other cities. By adopting the proposed bicycle
parking standards, the City will also satisfy the CMP and AQMP
bicycle parking requirements.
The carpool/vanpocl requirements are taken directly from the Los
Angeles Gounty Transportat~on Commission's CMP, which r~quires
local adoptien of theae standards by April l, 1993.
Section 9.04.10.Q8.06Q Design 8tandard~. This SEC~.1L^ is
amended to allaw the C~.ty Parking and Traffic Engineer the
flexibility to require additional or different standard~ if
deemed necessary. Sukasection (c~ contains a ma.nor amandment
suggested by the City Parkinq and Traffic Engineer.
Sectian 9.04.10.D8.090 Parkinq Access a.A the R1 and Mu1ti-Family
Residential Districts. R1 has been om~tted ~rom this Section
based on staff observation that a mix af alley and street access
generally has a positive effect an Single Family Residential
Districts, in that street automabile access maintains the front
af the residence as the primary entrance af the house. Althaugh
a].ley access prevents the ~rant of single family houses from
becoming dominated by driveways and garages, it also discourages
the us~ af the front entrance, with the effect of isolating the
reszdents from the neighborhood. By allowing new cunc ~uts for
single family houses, staff daes rat bel.ieve that a3.1 new sing].e
family devel.opment w~ll be de~igned with front access, as many
residents prefer a31ey accesa. Rather, staff bel~eves that a
mixture of rear and front access will be maintained in single
family neighhorhnods as a result af this amendment.
~n (a), ~~new" is om~tted because it is redund~nt.
In (a}(z), the Zoning Administrator and City Traffic Engineer are
estab~ished aa the City staff who detern~ine that t1~e topogr~phy
or canfiquration af the subject parcel prec~udes reasonable alley
access.
In (a)(3), a standard is estabZished for the minimum change in
elevation between the front and rear of the parcel which would
preclude alley access. This standard is based on staf~
olaservation ~ince the adopt~on of the current code in Z988. A
„ ~p _
n ~~3~
change in elevation between the ~ront and rear of the garcel may
preclude alley access because of constraints resulting fram the
maximttm perm~.tted angle f~r a ramp to a subterranean garage,
In ~a)(4), the Zaning Administrator and the City Parking and
Traffic Engineer are given the author~ty to allow curb cuts due
to traffic, circnlation or satety concerns.
In (b~, the change is for ciarification on~y.
In (c), a clause which applied anly to R1 Districts is omitted
and replaced with a clause requiting that existing curb cuts be
replaced with fu11 height curbs far new buildings and substantial
remodels which requ~.re alley access.
Section 9.04.10.08.~90 Parkinq Aca~ss in Non-Residential
Distric~s. The changes propo~ed for this Sact~cn are similar t~
the modifications proposed for the a~ove Sectian.
In (a), "small" is omitted because it is redur~dant.
The change in (a)~2) is identical to the change propased in
(a)(2) for Section 9.04.10.08.080, above.
The change in (a)(3} is identical ta the ahange praposed in
(a)(3) far Section 9.04.10.08.080, abava.
The change in (a)(5) is sim~lar in intent to the change propo~ed
in (a){4} for Sectian 9.04.1~.08.080, above.
The change in (c) is identical to the chanqe proposed in (c) far
Section 9.04.24.08.~80, a~ove.
Section 9.04.10.08.100 Drivewaya. Minor amendments have been
suggested for this Section by the ~xty Parking and firaffi~
Engineer.
In (a)(2), text is omitted because ~taff feels it is unclear and
unnece~sary.
In (c), a list af different n~u~tifamily districts ia omitted in
favor of the more incZusive statement "multifamily residentia~
districts." The minimum width o~ a single driveway in
multifamily districts is changed from lo' to 12', and the minimum
ti+ridth ~f a doub~e drivs~tay is changed fram 20~ to 24~.
In (d)~ the minia~um width for a double driveway in commerc~al and
industrial districts is changed to Z4'.
In (e), a olari.ficatxcn has been made =egarding parking structure
ramps.
In (f), the t~xt is amended to give the Zoninq Administrator and
City Parking and Traffic Engineer added ~lexibi].ity to amend the
minimum dr~veway widths in special circumstances, pravided that

Sectian 9.04.10.08.I2q Mark~nq cf parkinq 6paaes. The proposed
amendments in this Section eliminate the requirement for the
marking of parking spaces in R1 District~ and estab~ish that, in
other districts, guest, carpool and vanpoal spaces be clearly
marked.
Section 9.04.10.08.130 Sumper Guards. The word "buaiper guard"
is rep~aced with "wheel stap" at the suggestion af the City
Park~ng and Traffic Engineer.

On behalf of the Santa Monica Child Care Task Force, we wauld like to thank you for meeting vv~th us to
discuss our cancerns and quest~ons about the C~ty's proposal to cnange the pazk~ng reyuiremcnts #'or child
care cer~ters As was mentioned ~n our canversation, we are concerned about the proposed ~ar~atfon in
park~ng requirements far new child care centers The current proposal ta deternune the number of
parlung spaces required based on the center's number of c~dren and staff will nat encourage the
provis~on of quality ch~ld care in Santa Moruca Instead, we recommend a regulat~on based upon square
faotage as a more e~uitab~e regulat~an and one wh~ch w~31 encourage ttze pro~ision of c~d care
As you ~nay be aware, CaI3f'orrua Department of Social Sernces, Commuiury Care Licensing is the
ass~gned regulatory bady which licenses and morutors aEl child care ~rog~rams_ T~ey are rec~uued to
evaluate mdaor and outdoor space in deter~uaung the ma~um~m amount of childsen pernussible on site
For preschoal age ctuldren, mu~m~rn space requirements are as follows 75 square feet outdoor play
space per child and 35 unencumbered sc~uare feet indoors per cE~d For infa~t care programs, the space
r~uuements are more restnctive 75 square feet outdoar per ctu~d and 35 square fee# indoor plus
add~tional space for napptng {a~proximateiy 15 to 20 squate feet pes chi,~d) MEnima~ aflowable s~~~ng, or
adultJctuld ratios, for preschool pragrxms are based ~apon the total Rumber of chyldren the site is l~censed
to serve (i e, far child~en two to fi~e years it is one adu~t per every 12 c~uldreri} Infant care pragxams are
r~~red to have one adult per every 4 u~fants It ~s un~o~ant to remember that these are minunum
l~cer~smg sta~dards It is our goal to encourage all programs to go beyand these lur~tations and loo~C first
to meetu~g the needs of children~ rather tl~an meeting additionai regularians By ~asing the City's child
care center pazkuig requirements on numbers af children or adults on srte, progams will in fact be
discouragad, not be encouraged, to tiire staff beyond what is reqwred of them by l~censing star~dards
Within the early childhoad e~ucation field, we recagn~ze the unportar~ce of havuig adequate numbers af
quafified staff on hand to pravide qw~ity ca.re far all young children. Shauld the City maintain its proposal
to base parking regu~rements on childeen and adults on site, pragn-ains will be [imited in their ability to hire
additaonal staff or will be forced to enratl and operate at rnaximum ca~acity to mest t~ese ~arlang
requirements_ Additjonally, parking regulations are a~plied across t~e board for all child care centers and
do nat recoon~~~ the di$'erent st~~ng requi~ements based ~pon ages of chil~ren serveci

T#~e Santa Momca Ch~d Caze Task Force pcopases that t~e City of Santa Mosuca us~ the same cntena for
parlung re~uuements for child caure centers as ~t does for businesses, that is, squaze footage rather thari
"bod~es an s~te" We propase that the City im~ose the following requi~ements
• for preschoot programs one parking space far every 300 squarc feet
. for inf'ant care programs on~ parking space for er+ery 5d4 square f~et
As we d~scussed in our meetmg, the C~ty of San Diego recently revised its zomng ordinance for ckuld care
centers In ttus ordu~ance, one parking space is required for every 500 square feet of gross floor area for
the chuld care center We beiieve that our proposal, which aclcnowledges the different staf~ng
requirements for infant and preschoai prograrns, wili promote and encourage quaS~ty chil~ caze in Santa
Motuca, v~+tu~e recogtlizing the community need for adequate p~rlc~tg in a de~sseiY poPuLatecE city
We look farward to the Planrung Commission's approval of th~s proposal We would be happy to spea.k
with you or the Planning Cornmiss~aners further sf you have arty questions or requue additionaI
u~formataon We uFge t~e City of Santa Mocuca to approve the Task Force's proposal to de~termine
patktng requiretne~ts based upon the square footage af t~e ct~d care cre~ter We strongly believe tltat
Santa Moruca's parlang requirements must be created with a recognition of #he State laws and reguiattans
goverrung child care centers h is most important that the C~ty's f~~ulations encourage child care cemers
to go beyond these minimum standards, rather ttzan limit themsetves ta operating within narrowiy defined
nil~s
Sincerely,
Ter~r Qgawa
