INTRCDUCTION
This report ~ecommends that the City Council uphold the decision
of the Planning Commission and approve Cond~tional Use Perrnit 94-
D~0 to permit construction of a one-story, semi-subterranean
parking structure that provides 36 0~ 55 requzred parking spaces
for a 47-bed add~tion ~o the existing 228-bed convalescent
haspital loca~ed at 1340 15th Street. ~h~ r~maining 19 required
spaces plus 6 extra spaces will be provided at 1340 15th Street
for a total of 51 parking s~aces. On July 6, 1994, the Planning
Commission voted 5-0 to approve the applicant's reques~. The
determination has been app~aled by ad~acent neighbors, Arden
Orlando and Friedrich Weinstack. The appeal staternents are
contained in Attachment A.

BACKGROUND
The applicant, Golden State Health Centers, proposes to increase
the number of beds at Oceanview Convalescent Haspital loca~ed at
1340 FifLeen~.h Street. The proposal adds 47 beds on the 6~h
floor where the administrative offices are now located. The
admin~strative offices will be moved to a portion of the fzrst
floor displacing 25 parkzng spaces. This reconfiguration is not
a part of the prapased CUP and is subject to separate
administra~ive review. The removal of parking and the addition
of beds creates the need for addi.t~anal pa~king for the facility.
Thz subject proposal will add the required parking in two ~evels,
one semi-subterranean with 22 parking Spaces and one above grade
wit~ 14 parking spaces, to meet ~he needs of the expanded
convalescent facility. A park~ng structure zn the CP-3 Dastrict
is a condi~ionally permitted use. The proposed site is an
existing surface parking lot with 23 spaces. These spaces are
used as overflow parking for the Oceanview Convalescent Hospital.
Section 9.04.10.08 190 (SMMC?, allows required off-street parking
in a cornmercial d~strict ~o be located aff the parcel if the
fallowing conditions are satis~ied
1) All parking spaces are located within 1,~Op feet of
the per~met~r af the parcel or building site and the
parking area commences within 300 feet of the perimeter.
This distance shall be computed fram the nearest point of
the parking area
2; The praperty on which the parka.ng spaces are pxovided
~s owned in fee by the owner of the parce_ or building
site which is subject to the parking space requirements.
- 2 -
3) Addit3onal doCUments, covenants, deed restrictions or
other agxeements as may be deemed necessary by the Zoning
Admin~strator ar~ executed to assure that the required
parking spaces are maintained off-site.
All of the above conditions will be met in ~he proposed
application. The proposed parking structure is approximately 100
feet from the Oceanview Convalescent Hospital.
Thz prQject site is lacated in the Hospital Area Speezfzc Plan
(HASP). This pr~ject rneets the land use objective identified in
the HASP of ensuring "'development in the hospital area balances
the need for medical facilities and uses while protecting
resident2al ~ses in the area". This pro~ecu provides two levels
of parking ta meet the needs of the ~xpanded convalescent
facility. Further, the maxzmum 6'-6" height of the parking
structure above Average Natural Grade ~ANG), minimizes the impact
af the building on the neighborhoad
Since Planning Cornrnissian appraval the applicant has modified the
proposal to reflect same of the conditions of approval. The
nurnber o~ required cornpact spaces was reduced to 22 to not exceed
a rnaximurn of 400 of the required spaces Staff has modified the
conditions to ref~ect this change in design.
Pro~ect Desiqn
The propased parking structure will provide 36 of ~he 55 required
pa~king spaces for the convalescent hospital. The parking
structure is a maximum of 5' -8" above the exis~ing grade on the
- 3 -
sauth ~levatian ana a maximurn of 5'-7" on the north ele~ation
~ncluding a 42" wall extending from the upper level f~oor line.
Th~s will shield many cars fram view, but larger pick-up trucks
and util~ty vehicles will be visible on the upper ~evel fr~m all
elevatians. The cars an the lower level wi11 only be visible
from the west (front? elevation. The upper level on the south
elevation was set back 3 feet from the side property line on ~he
original application presented to t~e Planning Commission. The
applacant has since incarporat~d some of the conditions approved
by the Planning Commission and is naw propasing a 4 foot wide
raised planter for 108 feet along the south elevation.
Landscapinq
Two landscaped areas are provided on either side of the entrance
to the underground parking area on Fifteenth Street. To the
north side of the entrance is a 110 square foot landscapea area
and to the south o~ the entrance is a 225 square foot landscaped
area. There is no front yard landscape requirement in the CP
District.
There is a recruirement to prov~de Iandscape buffering between
com~ercial and residentially used parcels. In lieu of these
requirements, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) may approve
other buffer-ng plans which sat~s~y the intent of the buffering
standards. The applicant's proposal does not meet the landscape
requirements and the Planning Commission, in ats approval,
~ncluded car~ditions which require the applicant to provide
- 4 -
additional landscaping ~ncluding the 4 foot wide planter and
vines along the south elevation, additional plan~ing in the
southwest corner of thz upper park~r.g level, and vines along the
west elevation. Since Plann~ng Commission approval, the
applicant has redesigned ~he landscaping ~o ~nclude sarne of the
conditions of approval, but has not addressed the landscape
condition regard~r_g ~he additional planting in the southwest
corner of the upper ievel or the planting of vines an the wes~
elevation as required by Condition #11.
Parkinq and Circulation
The Park~~g and Tra=fic Division has rev~ewed and appraved the
plans The 14 standard size spaces on the low~r level are
accessed frarn Fifteen~h StrezC and the 22 s~andard spaces on the
upper level of the parkzng structure are accessed from Fifteenth
Court Alley.
At 1340 15th Street, 2S parking spaces wi11 remain on the ground
level, with 2 compact spaces, 20 standard spaces, and three
parking spaces for disabled peaple. The convalescent hospital
parking requirem~nt is 55 parking spaces. A maximum of 4Q°s of
the required ~5 park~ng spaces may be carnpact, or a total of 22
and a minimum af 600 of the required 55 parking space must be
standard, or a total of 33. Any parking spaces provided abave
the nurnber required may be either compact or standard spac~s.
The proposed parking structure meets the CirCUlation Ob~ectives
- 5 -
included in the HASP, including Ob~ect~ves 15 and 20 which
require trat new de~eloproent zn the area provide parking for the
increase demand by constructing new parking facilities or
appropriate transpartation management programs.
Appellants' Concerns
Appellant Friedrich Weinstock, owner of the property at I329 l~th
Street imrnedlately sauth of the sub~ect praperty, and Arden
Orlando, awner of the property at 1323 15th SCreet immediately
north of the subject property, submitted a jaint appeal
staternent. Both appellants are concerned with the le~el of noise
and pollution which may be created by an open upper parking
leve~. The appellants feel that the parking structiure should be
completely enclosed and that parking in the structure should be
limiLed to daytime parking only
The exist~ng parking 1ot has a six foot concrete block wall on
the north and south side to minirnize existing naise and
pollut~on The proposed parking structure will appear very
similar to the existing parking lot. The cars an the upper, open
level wi~l be approximately three ~eet higher than the ex~sting
graae of the surface parking lot
Staff believes lirnitations an the permitted hours of parking on
the upper level would be ditficult to entorce and enclosure of
the upper level wauld resul~ ~n a greater vasual impact than the
praposed structure. The proposed wall shielding the vehicles is
- 5 -
42" versus the existing 6' black walls. Staff recommends that a
cond~tion be added ta inc-rease the height of the wall to further
buf~er visual and sound impacts. Condition #14 requires that the
wall be increased f~om 42" to 54". This will provide a buffering
wall ranging in height abov~ the existing grade from 6'-7" an the
nar~h elevatian to 7'-8" on the south elevation.
Although the proposed parking structure will accommodate 36 cars,
nine less cars will be located above ground than now exist on the
surface lct While the proposed structure would allow up to 13
addi~ional cars on the property, the net impact of vehicles
lacated in an ap~n parking area would be reduced.
Statf be~ieves that with addi~ional landscaping provided as
required by Conditions #10 and #11 and reviewed by the
Architectural Rev=ew Board, the relatively f~w number of spacEs
provided, and the overall height of the proposed stxucture with a
buffzring wall of approx~mately 7 feet, tr_e praposed structure
will not have an adverse affect on the surraunding residentiial
uses.
Neiqhbornoad Compatibility
The pro~zct site is in the Hospital Area Specific Plan Most of
Fifteenth S~reet between Wilshire and Santa Manica Boulevards is
primarily in the CP (Cammercial Prafessional} District. This
black of Fiftzenth Street is a mix of commercial and ~esidential
uses and is designated in the HASP for future Santa Monica
- 7 -
Haspital expansion. The proposed parking structure is si~uated
between a one-story duplex to the south and two, two-story,
mixed-use comrnercial and residential buildzngs to tha north.
Across the alley, east of the subjec~ property, at 1328 16th
Street is a two-story rnedical building located in the CP-3
District.
The add~tion of a parking structure may ultimate~y aid the
neighborhood by providing off-s~reet parking in a structure where
at leas~ half af the parking is semi-subterranean and not
visible.
CONCLUSION
The increase in the number of beds at th~ O~eanview Convalescent
Hospital removzs exist3ng park~ng from their property at 1340
Fi~teenth Street, however the Code allows required parking to be
provi~ed off-site if certain conditions are met. This pro~ect
comp~aes with those condit~ons, and prior to bui~ding permit, the
appl~cant will be rzquired to record a restriction tyzng the use
of the parking structure to the convalescent facility. The
Hospital Area Specific Plan zdentifies this block as an area for
futur~ haspital expans~on
With the conditions regarding landscape buffering and the
increased wall height, staff believes that the adjacent neighbors
w~11 be protzcted, the appellant`s conc~rns will be addressed,
and the expansion needs af the hospital will be met.

pol~ution; from ~tarting cars.
3. Upper parking level shauld be complete~y c~osed ~n, since
it is iocated between two Residential praperties.
4. Cars park~d along south side facing the bedrooms and
living rovms of the Duplex WITH ALL RDOMS- 4NLY 5 FEET AWAY
FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.

START~NG Co~d car engines at day and NIGHT-TIME, will make it
impossible for residents TO SLEEP, OR LIV~ A NORMAL LIFE.
Several cars also creating impossible naise, when car-alarm
systems that ~o af~ accidently.
6. Since gark~nq structure is between two residential
propertie~ with naise and air gollution from starting cars,
will make life and resting sleep impo~sible for residents on
both s~des. The upper parking 1eve1 should be completely
closed in, with walls and roof to stap the 24 hour noise and
pollution to residents on both sides.

CONDITIOI~ aL USE PERh~IT FINDINGS
1 The proposed use is one ca~dit;anaIly permitted with~n the subject district and cornplies
wjth ali of the appl~cable pravtsions vf the "City of Santa Momca Comprehensrve Land
Use and Z~n~n~ Ordinance", ~n that Code Seccion 9.U4 08.3Q.Q40 per~mits park~ng
structures ut the CP D~strict with the issuance of a Conditianal Use Permit and Code
Sectiort 9.Q4.10 Q8.190 permrts requtred parlang in a commercial distnct ta be located
off-s~te if certa~n cnteria ~s met_ The cntena is met in that the park,ng structure ~s
located w;rhin approx~mately 160 feet of the penmeter of the buil~mg site and
commences w3thin appraxuna[ely 100 feet of the building srte pez~meter; the propeny on
which the parking structure is proposed ~s owned in fee by the owner of the buildmg site
wl~ch is subject to the parku~g space requuements, and a de~cf restnction or other
agreement acceptable to the Santa Monica City Attomey shall be prepared and recorded
ty~ng the use of the proposed parlang structure wrth the building site at 134015th Street.
2 The proposed use would not impa~r the integnty and character of the distnci in which
~t is to be established or located, in that it is a cond~uonally percnitted use in the CP
d~stnct, the height is ane level above grade and, w~th addition~l lands~aping prov~ded,
adjacent residenual uses will be buffered from the proposed sdrucau~e by penmeter walls,
landscap~n¢ and screeivng wall along the ~st floor park~ng area.
3 The subJect parcel is physically s~~table for rhe type of land use being proposed, m that
~t is a level site with existing surface parking.
4 The proposed use is compat~ble witt~ any of the land uses presently on the subject parcel
if the present land uses are to remauz, m that the proposed stxucaire will continue the
exist~ng parku g use of the propeny
5 The pragosed use would be compatible with existuig and permissible land uses within the
d~strict and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located, in that the
groposed structure wsll provide required parlcing for the existfng convalescent hospital
6 There are adequate pro~~s~ons for water, sauitat~on, and public utilit~es an+d services to
ensure that the prvpose~ use would noE be detnmental to public health and safety, ru thai
the sub~ect propem~ is iocated on a parcel with adequate access to all necessary
2
infrastrucrure
7 P~bl~c access to t~e proposed use will be ade~ate, in that the s~te ts a~equately served
by exrsung streets and alleys.
& The phys~cai location or p~acement of the use on the site is compatible with and relates
harmomotisly to the surroundmg neighborhood, in that adequate landscaping will be
pro~=ided to buffer ad~acent resideniia~ uses, anc3 the height and des~gn of the structure
minzmize ihe unpact ta adjacent ~roperties.
9 Th~ praposed use is ~onszstent with the goals, ob}ectives, and po~ic~es of the General
Plan, and the Hflspital Area Spe~ific Plan (HASP), fn that the praposed use is a
canditionally permitted ~se u~ the CP District and the pro~ision af parkang, wh~le
mi~mizing unpact to resident~a! uses, is an objettive of the HASP.
10 The praposed use would not be detnmenta] to the pubIic ~nterest, ~ealth. safety,
convemence, ~r general uvetfare, ~n that at ~s a cQndi~ionally permitted use in the CP
Distr~ct, and adequate screerung and landscaping will be provided.
11 The pr~~osed use canforms prec~ely to the agplicable performance standards concained
~n Subchapter 9(}4 12 and special conditians oudined in Subchapter 9.04 1~ of the City
of Santa Monica Comprehensive Land Use and Zpning Orduiaace, in that no
