M~~ husband and I reside in the greater Baston area and I~•isit m~-
mother two to three times a vear at her 132:-12th Street apartment I trul~~
look forvvard to these ti~isits and the opportunzt`~ to en~o~- this southern
California cit~- of wluch I am so fond
CJnfortunately, our ~~isits are always marred b~~ the inordinate amount
a€ time spent each dav struggling for a parking space in th~s block L'4Te ha~~e
~ust spent this Christmas a# mv mother's residen~e, and K~ith the exception af
Sundav and late evenings, parking on 12th street w as imposs~b~e as usual
Besides causing great frustration, I feel that the unnecessar~- stress
caused for m~~ mother and others in ~he area is verv unhealthv
it is obvious that "permit parking" for the residents can easilv remed~-
this problem Much of Baston and its immediate surroundings ha~Te
implemented such permrt parking, to the great relief ot the residents I
suggest the same be done in this instance
Thank vau for vour con5~deratian

biock was espec~al~y in nced of preferennal Farking due to the lar~e number of emplo~ ees of the

Re: Praposed Adop~ion of an ir~it~al StudylNegati~e Declaration and ApproWal of
a Resofution Establ~shing Preferent~a! Parking Zone 00 (Tweffth Street
Between Santa Mon~ca Boule~ard and Arizona A~e)
Hearing Date January 19, 1999
Dear Councdmembers:
This letter ~s submrtted on behalf of t~e Santa Monica Chamber of Cammerce
Automobde Deale~s Task ~orce ("ADTF"), wh~ch includes nearly al[ new ca~r dealers
lacated in Santa Mon~ca.
This letter ad~resses the ~r~posed Preferen#ial Park~ng Zone ("PPZ") on Twefft~
Street between Santa Monica Boulevard ar~d Ar¢ona Ave. Initially, th~s letter provides the
ADTF's o~eral[ perspective conceming #he parking situat~on in the Santa Mon~ca
Bovlevard corrEdor, and recommends a~ommunE#y planning process #o address what the
ADTF be4~eves is a serious park~ng shortage. Second, th~s letter explams ADTF's posit~on
with r~spect to the proposed Twelfth Street PPZ.
The ADTF urges the City Counal to defer ta~Cmg any action on the proposed PPZ
unt~f compfetion of the commun~ty plannmg pracess and preparat~on of an en~~ronmental
impac~ re~ort ("EIR") for the proposed Twelfth Street PPZ. Al#ernat~~ely, tf~e ADTF
r~commends mclusfon of several mit~gat~on measures proposed m the August 1998 clraft
Initial Study/Negat~ve Declaration ("August 't998 Draft"} that will reduce the ad~erse
effects of the proposed PPZ
Overall Persoecti~e
The ADTF is concerned about the ~ncremental growth af PPZs in the Santa
Monica Boule~ard corr~dor, where mast of Santa Monica's new (as opposed to used) a~to
d~alerships are focated. ADTF's concems stem from the followEng:

1. Santa Monica's auto deaferships were developsd ~n an era when on-street
parking was ampEe and #he City did not require dealersh~ps to pro~ide sufficient off-s#reet
parkir~g for their employees and customers. Consequently, auta dealers typically laclc
sufficrent off-street parking to meet the fu~l parkir~g demand of their employees and
custamers ADTF's informal survey mdicates that th~ existmg parkmg deficit of auto
dealers in the Santa Monica Boulevard comdor may be as h~gh as 250 to ~QO park~rtg
spaces dunng peak dayt~me hours.
2 Santa Mornca auto dealerships are land-locked Gi~en 5anta Monica's largely
buitt-o~t natvre as weil as C~ty zon~ng restrictions, ~t is currentiy infea~ible fvr ind~vidual
dealerships to increase their supply of ofF-street paricing.
3. Auto dealerships are nat the on~y Santa Monica Boule~ard corridor businesses
that crea#e parkmg spifl-over in neighbanng residential areas; other busmesses contribute
to this probiem as well
4. PPZs by themsel~es will not solve the parking spill-over problem; PPZs wfll
only shEft the burden to other streets absent an mcrease in the overaA park~ng supply for
area busmesses and their customers.
5 PPZs wil! cause area employees to pa~ further and further away ftom their
work places, thus creating addi~ional personal safety concems as w~ll as incanvenience,
as these employees are required to walk longer distances to and from worfc
The ADTF believes that a long-term solution to the San#a Mornca Boule~ard
carridor's parking problem requires a cooperative effort by auto dealers, area residents
and City leaders #o develop additional parKi~g far empbyees of auto dealers and other
area b~sinesses Absent such additiona[ parking, #he underlying parking problem will
cor~tinue to fester and grow na matter how many PPZs are implemented. Additionally,
mcremental implementatEOn of PPZs will cause substant~al problems for the employees
and customers of area businesses
Therefore, the City Council should direct C~ty Staff to begin explormg long-term
solut~ons #or the ex~sting parking deficit in the Santa Monica Boule~atd corridor m
cooperation with area bus~nesses and ne~ghboring res~dents. The ADTF ~as met with
Ci#y Manager John Jaldi and Ass~stant C~ty Manager Susan McCarthy, and they are
supportive of such a planning effort.
The Prooosed Twelfth Street Preferential Parkina Zone
The ADTF's preference is for no new PPZs to be ~mplemer~ted pending a study of
the Santa Monica Boulevard corndor parking situation and a comp~ehensive pian for
addressmg ~t. At best, the proposed Twelfth Street PPZ ~s a"stap gap" ap~roach to

address complaints from Twelfth Street residents that will, inevitably, shift the problem
eksewk~ere a~sent a rnose comprek~ens~ve solution
The proposed Final Initial StudylNegative Declaration ~"Fina! 1SIND"} confirms this
At section ~ 7 5, the Finaf ISlND acknawlecfges that the proposed TweEfth Street PPZ wi[1
displace #hirteer~ ~e~~cfes to other streets. Altho~gh the Final lS/ND belie~es these other
streets ha~e the capacity to absorb thES additional parking, the Fir~al ~SIND mdicates that
neighboring streets are heavily ~til~zed dunng ~eaEc periods. TF~us, the proposed Twelfth
5treet PPZ does not const~tute a solution to the area parking problem, it simply shifts #he
parkmg spifi-over from one block to n~~ghbonng blocks.
Moreaver, the Final ISlND e{~mma#es severa! mitigation measures ft-om the August
1998 Draft that would make the proposed Twelfth Street PPZ more palatable.
Specificafly:
• The August 1998 Draft included a mEt~gation measure to implement angled
parking on one side of #he street, with all spaces on the narth end of the block reserved
for res~dents with ~eRn~ts. As the August 1998 Draft ~ndica#ed, this would expand the
parkmg supply an Twelfth Street thus red~cing the spill-o~er effects of the proposed PPZ.
• The August 1998 Draft afso included a mitigation measure to allow one or two
hour parking in the perm~# area for those w~t~out permEts. This mitigation measure would
accommodate short-~erm customer parking (~ut not employee park~ng) dunng normal
working ~ours when, accordmg to the Final ISIND, residents only use approximately 25°/fl
of the an-street parkmg spaces in the proposed PPZ {See Firtal ISIND at Sectivn 17.5}.
Absent allowanc~ af one or two haur park~ng by non-permit t~olders, the proposed PPZ
wi~l generate a s~tua~ior~ where approxima#ely 75% af the parkir~g spaces in the PPZ will
rema~n vaca~t in an area wh~ch suffers from a ser~ous shortage of a~ailable on-street
parking In additfon to incon~eniencmg busmess custamers, residents of neighboring
blocks wdl also be ad~ersely impacted as ~~sir~ess customers utilEZe scarce park~ng on
their blacks left unprotected by a PPZ.
The Need for an En~ironmental Imnact Reoart
The Califomia En~ironmental Quality Act ~"CEQA") requires preparat~on of an EIR
whene~er it is fairly debatable tha# a project may f~a~e a sigrnficant ad~erse ~mpact on the
enuironment. No Oil, Inc. v. City of Los Arrgeles, 13 Cal. 3d 6$, 74-7~, 118 Cal. Rptr. 34
(1974}; State CEQA GuidelEnes Section 9 5064(g)~1 }
Here, tF~e City has generated two environmenta! documents reaching
fundamentaliy different concfusions concerning whether the proposed PPZ on Twelfth
S~reet wtill ha~e stigrnfcant ad~erse envtironmental effects. The first document, the Aug~tst

1998 Draft, concludes that absent several m~#igation rneasures the proposed Twelfth
Street PPZ will haWe sign~cant ad~erse environmentat effects. The secand dacument,
th~ Final IS/ND, concludes the proposed Twelfth Street PPZ wdl nat have suc~ effects.
This conflict in the City's own environmentai documents makes t~e issue of whether the
proposed PPZ "may" have significar~t adverse en~ironmental effects fairly debatable and
th~as preparation of an EIR is required.
In co~sEdering this issue, the City Gouncd must alsa wetgh the h~cely cumulati~e
effects of the proposed PPZ Under CEQA, the City Ca~ancd is obliged to consider
patenfial cumutati~e effects m determining whether ar not an E~R is required. State
CEQA Guidelines, Section 15065, provides in reievant part:
"A lead agency shall find that a pra~ect may have a significar~t
effect on the en~~ronment and thereby require an EIR to be
prepared for the pro~ect where any of thE follow~ng conditions
occur•
(c) The pro~ect #~as possible en~iror~mentai effects which
are tndividually limited but cumulati~ely cor~siderable. As
used m the subsec#ion, "cumulat~~ely considerable" means
that the incrementai effects of an individua~ pro~ect are
considerable when viewed in connection wit~ the effects of
past prajects, the effects of other current pro~ects, and t~e
effects of ~robable future pro~ects."
fn the contex# of the proposed PPZ, tE~e City has substantial experience with PPZs
expandir~g incrementally. The PPZ surrounding Santa Monica College {"SMC"} is a case
~n point. The boundanes of the SMC-related PPZ have expanded on several occasions,
as the PPZ's ~oundar~es tnggered sp~ll-o~er parking in adjace~# areas. This pattem has
occurred elsew~ere m Santa Monica, mc[uding ad~acent ta Santa Monica Boulevard. The
same pattem is iikely to occur here, gi~en the documented spiEl-over effects the proposed
PPZ wdl have whicf~ will, in tum, generate publ~c pressure for an expanded PPZ
encompassi~g ne~ghbor~ng stceets
!n weighing the cumulat~~e effects ~ssue, the City Council should also #ake notfce
that the proposed Twelftl~ Street PPZ wdf, ~f approved, constitute dis#rict °00", or by aur
calculafions the forty-first such d~stnct ThES ~s further e~~dence tha# PPZs tend to expar~~
incrementally ~n Santa Monica and ha~e cumulative effects beyond their ~mmediate
boundaries and neighbortioods

Given t~e passibility if not likelihood that the proposed PPZ will have cumulativE
effects beyond ~ts baundanes (-.e., #nggenng additional PPZs an neighbonng streets), an
EIR is legally necessary to study these cumulative effects as weIl as the immediate
impact of the propased Twelfth Street PPZ.
Conclusion
Based upon the foregoing, #he ADTF asks the City Council to #aice the #oltowing
action:
1. Defer acting on #he proposed PPZ pending completion of a community
planning process designed to address the under~ying parkrng deficit m fhe Santa Monica
Boule~ard corndor and pending completion of an EIR conceming the proposed PPZ; and
2 Direct City Staff to init~ate a community ~lanning process, including participation
by area residents and businesses, to explore long-term solutions to the parking shortage
in the San#a Mon~ca Boule~ard eamdor

that there exzsts non-resident~al parlnng intrusion on Twelfth Street betw•een Santa ~Iomca goule~ard
and ?.r~zona ~-i~enue If the City implements a permrt park~ng d~stnct on Twelfth Street (m a~cordance
~~~~th adopted Citv procedures and gu~del~nes), the result w°ould be to shift same non-res~dent parking
away from the permitted portion of T«~elfth Street To assess the magn~tude of the shifted traffic, an
analysis of the potential parking demand to be shifted has been conducted
Since Santa hlomca Boule~~ard to the south and ~~'ilshire Boule^~ard to the north are fronted ~~~~th
commerc~al, office and retail establ~shments. rt is not possible to determme the exact number of paricmg

• Throughout the study area, there are a total of 84 metered spaces and approXimatel}~ =~90 non-

• The hour «~rth ihe highest averall parkjng demand is between 10 and I 1 AM, when 86 percent
of all spaces ~~ere used Durmg that time, 1~ percent of the spaces v4•ere unoccupied There
~vere 48 metered spaces a~~ailable at that time and 31 non-merered spaces a~-a~lable (total of 79

The results of the analys~s of the o~ eraIl stu~y area clearly indicate that no single black can absorb the
displaced vehicles, l~owever, there is hkely to be a s~fficient number of park~ng spaces overall to
absorb the 13 displaced parkers It is I~kel;• that some of the parkers v~°ill need to park h.;~o blocks a~vay

• Optian 1- One hour on~y parkme except bti permit for the residential portion of the block of
T«-elfth Street betw~een Arizona Avenue and Santa Mon~ca Boulevard
• Option 2- Tu~o hour onl}~ parking except by permit for the res~dential pornon of the block of
T~~~elfth 5treet bet~~•een :4r~zona A~~enue and Santa Mon~ca Baule~-ard
• Option 3- Install parking meters on the commercial portion of the Tivelfth Street block
• Option 4- Install d~agonal parking along Twelfth Street beri~°een Arizona A~~enue and Santa

Each of these ophons is d~scnssed belo«~
Option t- One Hour Parkin~ Only Exee{~t b~• Perm~t
It was discovered that approkimately 14% of all parkers durmg the day siay for one hour or less
'T~erefore, this alterr~ative «°ould displace approx~mately 11 parkers from Twelfth Street on a typicat
day (13 tatal d~splaced co~nmerc~al parkers minus those that only park far one hour or less and v-will stil~
use the street for park;ng) The 11 parkers ~vould l~kely seek parkmg on the adjaeent blocks of 1 lth
Street and Eucl~d Street
Optian 2- T«~o Hour Parking Orslv Except by Permit
It «~as disco~-ered that approx~matelv 2$°.0 of all parkers durin~ the dati~ stay for tvvo hours or less
Therefore, this optton ~vould d~splace approx~mately nine parkers from Twelfth Street on a typical day
(13 dispIaced commercial parkers minus those t~at only park for t~i~o hours or less and w~ll still use the
street for parkmg) The mne parkers would l~kely seek park~ng on the adjacent biocks of 11th Street

Ben~~een Anzona Avenue and Santa Man~ca Baule~~ard
! Th~s opt~an ti~o~ld result in the instatlation of approximatety 16 parking meters on the cammercial
portion of Tvs~elfth 5treet ad~acent to the Claude Short Dodge Auto Dealership Typ~cally, parkmg
~ meters are used to encourage parking turno~-er m business districts Currently, those spaces are totally
unconuolled except for once-a-ti~~eek street cleanmg restrictzons Therefore. those spaces are no~~•
a~•ailable for e~ther short term or longer term parkm~ If long term parkers take the spaces ~n the
~ mornme, they are effect~velv removed from use by others the rest of the day Installation ofpark~ng
meters «~ould force increased turno.~er of the spaces that are currentlv being used far longer terr~-
~ parkmg Based on the park~ng durat~on data. approrimatel~~ 14 percent of the parkers on T«°elfth Street
sta~~ for one hour or less and 28 percent stay for n;•o hours or less Therefore, the mstallation of tv~~o
hour l~mrt meters v~-ould farce approximately mne long term commercxal seek parking elsewhere. and
~ the ~nstallation of one hour Iim~t meters ~~~ould force approkimatelt~ ~ I parkers to seek parkmg
el se~;-here
~ Smce it is l~kely that some ar man~~ of the exist~ng spaces front~ng the dealership on Tti~•elfth Street are
currentl4 used by employees of the dealershig or employees of other local ~usinesses, the mstallat~on
, ofparking meters ~.~ouId be expected to displace those parkers to the narthem portton of T~velfth Street
as ~;~ell as to other ad~acent streets
Option 4- Install Dia~onal Park~n~ on Ttivelfth Street
Th~s option ~~ould ~ncrease the local parking suppiy by creatin~ ne«~ parking spaces along T~}elfth
~ Street The success of adding parking via angle parking depends upon the specific configuratlon of
each block `~ anables that impact the amount of angle parlcing that can be added mclude the roadway
~ ~~~ idth, the number of curb cuts for ~n~-eways and the location of ~re hydrants and other red curb area
In eeneral, the longer ]ength of unmterrupted curb face that is a4~ailable. the more angle parking that
can be provided Very~ short sectyons of curb may not support an~le parking due to potennat blockages
' of ad~acent dri~~e~~-a~~s .4ngle parkmg has been commanly used on many multi-family residentral
streets in c~ties throughout sauthern Cal~fornia
' Angle parlang on streets is rarely desl~ned as 90 degree (right angle parking) exeept on dead end streets
or extremely lo~~ ti~olume~ lo~~• speed streets Therefore. for ease of access, sight distance cansiderat~ons
~ and safety, angle parktng on a street is usualty at 45 or 60 degrees ~Ihe greater the degree of the angle,
the more ~paces that can Iit on the street For purposes of this analys3s, 60 degree angle parlang has
been re~~~eti;~ed on Twelfth Street bet«~een ~zona ~~-enue and Santa ~ionica Boulevard A concept
' desien of 54 degree angle park~ng has been de~~eloped based on the ex~sting red curb and driti~e~.~a}°
locations Due to ti~e «~idth of the street (~G feet curb-to-curb), angle parking v~~auld onl}' be pass~ble

on one sjde of the street, w•hile ma~ntaming parallel curb parking on the other side (a curb-to-curb ~.-idth
of appro~cimately b~ feet would be needed to provide angle parking on both s~des of the street j
Based on the re~7e«~, rt appears that approx~mately 31 spaces could be pro~-~ded on the east side or 30
on the ~vest s~de w~ith 60 degree angle parlang Th~s ts 10 to 13 spaces more than the current supph~
Of those I 0 to 13 added spaces, approximatel;~ n;~o ~;~ ould be added m the commercial portion of the
block and 8 ta 11 v~=auld be added in the residencial pornon of the hlock T1~e commercial s~aces would
directly offset some of the loss of parkmg due to the permit park~ng d~strict Based on the assumed
disp]acement of l 3 commercial parkers and the add~tion of nvo diagvnal spaces in the commercial area.
the net rmpact under th~s alternati~-e w•ould be 11 spaces Figure 11 conceptuall}~ illusu~ates potential
60 degree angle park~ng on T«•elfth Street The actual number of spaces can be determzned upon more

Summar~- and Conclusions
In summary, the propased pro~ect to implement permrt parking on the residenual portion of Tr,~.-elfth
5treet beh~~ een Santa 1~lomca Boule~~ard and :~-jzona A~~ enue is expected to fully address the ex~snng
res~dential parkmg shortage on Twelfth Street beri;~een Santa 14tonica Boulevard and Anzona Avenue
The permrt parkmg distrtct would reserve the on-street parking for res~dems and guests The displaced
parkers would find parkin~ v~~ithm tu•a blocks af Tw~elfth Street Transportation;`circulat~on impacts

1.0 Introduction
A parlcit~g unpact analys-s has been conducted for purposes of identifying exist~ng parku~g needs in the
stu~y area and to determme parksng snirusion problems on 12ch Sueet between Santa Monica Boule~ard
and An2ona Avenue At ~ssue ~s whether a res~dent~l parkmg percmt program w~il be apprapriate for the
residential portion of the segment of 12th Street be[ween Santa Monic~ Boulevard anc~ Anzona Avenue
(1300 block) A par~ng supply and de~nand analys~s has been candvcted to determtne ~f there ~s a parlcuig
intn~sion problem on the 13Q0 block of 12th Street F~gure 1 iilustrates the pro~ect lacauan and
surroundmg vicimty
Detailed pazlRng studies were undertaken, uicludmg parkic-g space ~nventanes, parinng occupancy counts
hour-by-hour {i e,~iow many spaces are ntil~zed on each block throvghaut the day), and a facused parkmg
durau~n survey on 12th Street (~ e., how long each caz remau~s parked in one lacanon} Th~s data has been
utiLzed [o ident~fy current parking occupancy problems and to help develop proposed pemut parking zone
recommendatians
2.0 Parking ~nventory
The First scep m the parlcuig data collect~on effort was ta estanate the available parking spaces on 12th
S~eet and in the ~ici~uty of tt~e pro~ect. Unlilce park~ng iots with ~ndividual spaces which are pa~nted on
the pa~ement, or streets with paricing "Tees" pamted on-street, open residential street garking eapacity
vanes s~ight~y based on s~ze of velucles In general, ~aarking ca~acity can be accurateiy estunated (withtn
approx~nnately one or two spaces per block) by caunt~ng parked cars when the street is full or measunng
open curb space and dividmg by the average length of a vehicle Using both of these technic~ues, the on-
street parkuig capacity has been estunated Figure 2 i~lustrates che result of the parkuig inventory The
fg~re d~splays the estunated number af available spaces It excludes driveways, red curb sgace and ocher
curb area wluch is not usea5le for parking
A total of approxunately ~$ spaces are a~ailable on 12th Street fror~ Santa Momca Boule~ard to Arizona
Avenue, and S50 are a~ailable in the surround~ng area The 12th Street spaces are further descr~bc*d as
follows
l6 spaces an 12th Street are located ad~acent to commerc~ai properties on the sovthern portion
of the block and would not be sub~ect co permit parking restricuons
• 22 spaces an 12th Street are located ad,~acent Ea res~denhal propernes on ihe northern portion
of the block and would be snbject to a res~denttal parking pemnit program, if approved

3.0 Parki.ng Da~a Collection
The following parlcuig reIated data was collected in ttre field
Par _Utitization - The nUZnber of parked vehicles was coanted for each hour of the day
between 6 OQ A M and S 00 P M on a c}+picai weekday on each block In order to ensure
the data reflects a typical weekday, ssreet cleanuig days were avo~ded Both east/west and
north/sauth streets were surveyed on Thursday, Apri~ 23, 1998 Figure 3 illvstrates the
parkmg regulations related to street clearung that were observed on 12t1~ Street and a~jacent
streets Note that there is no Thursday street cleaiung in the vic~nFty
The purpose of the parkzng util~zatian data ~s to determuie the nsage pattems, includuig when
parktng reaches a peak on each biock Normaily, residenual street parking peaks m the
e~enuig and very early mornuig hours w~en residents are at home. Duru~g the day, utaization
is expected to drap sigruficantly due to residents going to work, school, sh~pping, etc
Different patterns, such as parkmg ut:lization which mcreases midday or remau~s unusuallv
~ tluaughout mast of the day when homeawners are i;sually away, ~icate parl~g
demand in the ne~ghbarhood which ts related t4 land uses other than the adjacent residential
units (e g, parku~g ~trus~on from coinmercial Uses, educat~onal fac~lit~es or ocher non-
restdential land uses)
Focused Park~n~ Duranon Surve~ (1300 Block of 12th Street between Santa Monica
Boulevard and Ar~zona Avenuel - In eonjunction witt~ the utiliz~aaan surveys, l~cense plate
numbers were noted hour by hour and then checked to ascertaui the length of tune each
parked vehicle remauis m piace m the sub~ect block This data ~s used ta determine ~sage
patterns on the block Patterns showtng parking arr~vals m tf~e tnoming wrth durat~on of a
few hours could u~~cate parkuig demand from outside the residential area. T~is dara ~s aiso
used to help ~de~afy whether perinit parkuig restnctions shoald be for one hour, iW0 ~1bliT5,

Preferential Parking Zane "DO" IS/IVD Impacr Study
4.0 Parking U~ilization
As described abo~e, parlang utilizatian data was obtau~ed an 12th Street and adjacent sFreets for a typical
weekday between 6 AM and $ PM. The data was sorted and analyzed ta determine util~xaaon patterns
To analyze rypical patterns throughout the day, graphics have been deveioped showuag percent parking
utilization by block at 6 AM, 10 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM and 7 PM For a typical resident~al black we would
expect to se= peak parku~g ut~lirat~on early in the morning befo~e many residents have left for work, school
or errands, followed by a decrease sn parking duruig the day, with parlang demand urcreasing aga~n m the
early evening when many people have recumed home
It is not Qosszble ta ~dernify exactly at what le~el park~ng utiluation becomes a problem for resulents In
some lower~ensiry neighborhoods w~ch an abundance of off-street parlc~ng in garages and dn~eways, on-
street parking is percerved as less crit~cal In lugY~er density neighborhoods where off-street par~ng rr~ay
be less read~y available ta residents, converuent on-street parlcing becomes more important Also, while
parking may be available somewI~ere on the block, the lack of a garking space within two or ttuee spaces
of a residence may be perceived as a prablem
The parking utilrzauon data for 6 AM, 10 AM, i PM, 2 PM and 7 PM are dtsplayeri ~n Figures 4, 5, b,
7 and 8, respecqvely. The figures display the percent of avaiiab3e parking that was observed ta be used
during each haur. T#~e data ~dicates the followmg-
• 6 AM - As eacpected, nearly all resident~al blocks expereence relanvely high parlct~g
utilization, while commerciat area parkujg dernand ~s lew
• l.OAM - By 10 AM, overall parking demand ~s even ~~g~er rhan. 6 qM on most resident~al
blocks, and commercial ~ilock parkmg demand has also mcreasec~ substantially.
• 1- 3 PM - Park~ng demand recnains relatively h~gh on many all resident~al btocks, while it
~s moderate ta hfgh on commerc~al blocks
~ 7-$ PM - Or+erall parking demand has declined signifi~antly by the evening tune period, with
many blocks now experiencing less than 70 percent occupancy. 12rh Sueet park~ng demand
is lower tt~an mid-day, but snll is approxunateiy 75 percent
Th~s pa.rking utili7aiion gattem on 12th Street is the apposite of what one wo~ld expect ~n a nredaminantly
resule~~!a~ area Mid~ay parktng demand ~s higher than e~enuig and earty morning demand This clearly
indicates an uiflux of parkers mid-day frorn adjacent commercial or educatjonal land uses

4.1 City of Santa Monica Parl~ng Uti~izatian and Duration Survey
In response to a petipon from residents of 12th Street between Ar~zona Avenue ar~ Santa Momca
Boulevard requestang the estabhshrnent of preferent~al park~ng on their street, Ciry of Santa Momca staff
rndependenc~y cor~ducted gazkuig Ut~~anon and d~ration surveys on the block durmg the second week of
September i997 The re5ul.ts of those surveys ind~cate the followmg
Average occupaney rate was 97 perceni between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM wirh peak
occupancy at 111 percent occurring on the eas[ s~de of 12th Street inea~ng socne vehicles
parked illegally m restricted spaces (i e, red curbs, fire hydranc Focations, driveways and
ather prohib~ted spots) Those findings are very cons~stent with the finduigs of ttte sur~eys
conducted for th~s study
The resuits of the City survey cIearly ~ndicated thaa the res~dential pon~~n af 12th Srxeet is vmpacted
throughout the day by nearby business Th~s conclus~on is based on the h~gh parlang demand whach ~s
expenenced throughout the day as well as rhe relauvely iarge number of parkers that stay far eight hours
4.2 Par~C~~g Durativn (Focused A~alysis of ti~e 1300 blvcl~ af Tweifth Street)
In arder ta r-alidate the ~uual garlung survey findings of Ctry of Santa Mo~ca staff, a focvsed parking
duration survey was conducted on April 23, 1998 on ~2th Street between Santa Momca Boulevard and
Anzona Aven~e
The tune eaeh vehicle was parked an s~eet was noted a~d Ls presented m terms of parku~g for i t~our or
~ess, 1 ta 2 hours, 2 to 3 hoe~rs, 3 to 4 hours, 4 to 5 hours, 5 ta 6 hours, 6 W 7 ha~rs, 7 to S hours and S
or more hours The parking duration data indicates that the most common lengt€~s of s€ay is over 8 hours
( i 1 vehicles} The nex~ most common stay was 3 to 4 hours (10 ~ehicles) followed by 1 or 2 haurs {9
veh~cles each) Detailed results are as follows
Re~iew of parking durati~n data for the west side of 12th Street ir~cate that 17 percent of the

5.0 Analysis of P3rking Demand
Based on a review of the deta~led parku~ uralzzauon and d~ration data as descnl~ed above, it appears that
there exists non-residential parl~ng u~mision on 12th Street betwcen Santa Monxca Boulevard and Anzona
Avenue If the Ciry unpkements a permit pariang d~strict on 12th Streef {ln accordance with adopted City
procedures a~d guidetu~es), the result wauld be to shift some non residenc parlang away from the permiu,ed
portion of 12th Street_ To assess the mag~utude of the shifted tra~c~ an analys~s of the potential parlang
demand ta be shifted has been conducted.
Since Santa Manica Bouievard to rhe south and Wilslure Boulevazd tn ~he north are fronted with
commercial, officc and retail establishments, it is not possible to detersnine the exact number of parking
spaces used throughout the day that are relaEed ca chese busmesses versus those related ta the adjacent
residentaal homes and ap~r~z~ents It has been nated by residents and Ciry staff (12/02/97 Ciry Council
staff report} that some of the i2th Street pariang demand ~s lilcely due co employees of Claude Short Dodge
due to the close proximity of that business to the residential portion af 12th Street As we were not able
to conduct m-person surveys with parkers, we do not know how many of the daytime parkers on l2th
Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc

Preferentcal Parkin~ 2one "00"IS/NU Impact Study
Stre~t are due to ttze dealership versus other co~nmercial businesses or residents We do know, however,
that Claude Short Dadge cu~entiy has agproxunately 83 employees and an average veh~cie ridership of
1 38, mean~g that ap~roxunately 50 to 60 employee vehicles arrive at the site each wor~Cday The
dealership does not provide any on 5ue or off-site parku~g (based on "Ciaude Short Dodge Worlcsheet
Transportat~on Plan" 1947, prepared by Parad~se Consultmg) There~ore, the dealership ernployees m~st
find off-s~te parktng, which ~s lilcely to include 12t#3 Street.
'Typicaiiy, resid~nt~al bloclcs are only parnaliy occupied mid-day ~f they are not ~tpacted by cflmm~rcial
park~g intrusion (apprax~mately 25 % occ~pied mid-day) If it ~s a.ssumed that 75 percent of the 12th
5traet partcmg demand ts non-residents (on the north half af the bIock}, then a total of l7 vehicles would
he displaeed by perm~t parking_ (22 spaces on the north half total tunes 75 ~=17 spaces used by
commercial parkers} Conversely, it ~s very l~lcely that some parkuig on the south {commercial) half of the
b~ock ~s eurrently ~sed by res~dents if it ss assumed that 25 % of rhe south half spaces are used by
res~dents, an average af foiu of the 16 spaces would be due to residentia~ demand. 7ltose four would shift
to the nortti half of the block once permit parlung ~s unplemented, freeuig spaces for the busmesses
Therefore, the ~ displacement would be 13 veh~cles (17 displaced from the norti2 half cninus four apened
up on the soath half who move to the Qrotected permu area.)
Bascd upon the results of the parkmg sarveys and parking demand analys~s, it ~s estunated that the net
d~,cplacement of up to 13 ~ehicles from ]2th Street could occur if a permit system is unplemen[ed on the
resxdential portion of the block The survey data revealed that all 13 velucles could not lilcely be
ac~ammodated on a s3ngle aclja~ent bloek, however, within the entire study area there would be suffi~ient
parking to absorb the park~ng demand. To estunace the potential for those spaces to be absorbed m the
surroundu~g azea, the totai aznount of available parking thraughout the stu~y area on the day o€ the svrvey
has been tabulated Wl~~le many individual btocks are a~er 7~ percent occupied, as a whole there are
available parkmg spaces scatt~red thraughout the surround~g area
Table 2 illustrates the total available parking far each hour (during the survey day} throughout the ent~re
study area. Typical walk~g distance for employees and other Langer term pazkers is considered to extend
up to apprax~rnately one-cfuarter ~le. Shorter term v~sators would seek parkang closer than ane-yuarter
~nil~. The study area extends for two blocks ui all duect~ons from 12th Stzeet, and is generalfy bowuied
by Wilslure Boulevard on the north, Broadway on the south, lOth Street on the west, and 14th Street on
the east (th~s ~s withui the typical one-quarter rru~e wallang d~stance). The permit parking spaces on ~4th
Street were excluded suice they would not be a~ailable for parlung by the d~splaced vehicles. The results
are separated by metcred a~ non metered spaces The mecered spaces would generally be expected to
serve the shorter Eerm displaced parkers while ttre non-metered spaces would serve thc. Ionger temn
displace.d garkers (due to the tvne resuicuons at the meters) The resul#s af the analysis uidicate the
followmg
Throug,hout ttte study area, there are a total of 8~ metered spaces and apQro~nateIy 490 non-
rnetered spaces {non-metered capacfry vanes based on ~etucle s~ze).
The hour with the highest averall par~g demarxl is between 10 and 1~ AM, whe~ 86 percent of
all spaces were used. Durusg that t~me, 14 percent of the spaces were un4ccup~ed There were
48 metered spaces a~ailable at c~t time and 31 non-metered spaces available (total af 79 ava~lable
spaces in the study area w~this~ a twa block radius of the pro,~ect area)
During orher hours, the overall occupancy was lower During flozinal business hours (S AM to
5 PM), the number of a~aitabte spaces ranged from 79 spaces (10 to 11 AM) to 136 spaces {4 to
5 PM}

Considering non-metered spaces only, the number of avaiiabie spaces ranged from a low of 31
spaces {10 ta 11 AM) to a high of 80 spaces (4 to 5 PM)
The results of the analysis of the overall srudy area clear~y ~rtdicate that no smgle block can absorb the
d~splacec! vehicies, howe~er, there ~s Iilcely to be a suffc~ent number of parkuzg spaces overall to a~sorb
the 13 d~splaced parleers It is l~lcely that some of the parkers will need to park two blaclcs away fram I2th
Street, and that some will need to search more than one s~reec for an available space It shnuld also be
nated that the ~na~~lity to park on 12th Street w~ll serve as further mcentive for empioyees of local
businesses io rideshare and utihze pubhc transit, which could reduce the number of displaced ~ehicles

6.0 Anaiysis of Parking Program Upt~ons
Several pernut parking opnons and ather parlcuig soIunons were suggested far review by Ciry staff and the
City Cauncif at the December 2, 1997 counc~i meet~ng Those aptions are as foltows
• Option 1- Qne hour onIy par}cuig except by permit for the residentiai portion of the block af 12th
Streec between Anzona Avenue and Santa Mon:ca Boule~ard
• Option 2- Two haur ~nly parkuig except by perm~t for the residential portio~ oi the block of 12th
S~reet between Arizona Avenue and Sarua Manica Bovle~+ard
• Option 3- Install parlcuig meters on the commercial portion of the 12th Street block
• O~ion 4- Instal~ diagonal parkuig along 12th Street between Ar~zona Avenue and 5anta Man~ca
Boule~ard
Eaci~ of these options ~s discussed below
O~t~on 1- One Haur Paricme Dnl~ Excent b~ Perm;t
It was d~scovered that approxunately 14~ of al1 parkers dunng rhe day stay for ane hour or less.
Therefare, th~s alternanve wauld d~splace approxunately 1 i parkers €rom 12th Street on a rypical day (13
tatal displaced commercial parkers mtnus those that only parK for one honr or less and will stili use the
street for parlczng}_ The 11 parkers would likely seelc parlung on the adjacent blocks af l lth Stre: t and
EuClid Sueet.
Ontlon 2- Two Hour Parlc~n~ Onl~ Exceet bv Permit
It was discowered that approximateiy 28l of all parkers dur~ng the day stay for two hours ar less.
Therefore, ihis optlon would ~isplace approxunately nine parkers from 12th Sueet on a rypical day (13
d~splaced commerc~al parkers muivs those that only park for two hours or less and will st~li use tt~e sueet
for par~ng). The nuie parkers would lilcely seek parldng on tiie adjacent blocks of l lth Street and Euclid
Street

Oot~on 3- InstaIl Two-~our Lunit ParkFne Meters on the CornmeXr,~.Port~on of 12th Street Between
Arizona A~enue and Santa Monica Boulevard
Ttus opuon wovld result m the u~stallation of approxunately i6 parlang meters on the commercial port~on
of i2th Street ad~acent to the Claude Short Dodge Auto Dealership Typ~cally, park~ng meters are used
ta encourag~ parkuig turnaver in bvstness d~stricts G~rrendy, those spaces are tatally uncontralled except
for once-a-week street cleaning restrictions Therefore, those spaces aze now available for either short
term ar longer term parlung If lang terrn parkers take the spaces in the mormng, they are effectrvely
remo~ed from use by others the rest of the day Installat~on of parlung meters wauld €orce increased
turnover of the spaces that are currently being used for longer teran parking Based an the parking durauon
data, appro~nately 14 percent of the parkers on 12rh Street stay for one hour or less and 2$ percent stay
for two hours ar less Therefore, rhe u~sratIation of two hour lunit meters would force appraxunaiely nine
Iong terrn comrnercial seek parkuig elsewhere, ar~d the instailat~on of one hour iumt meters would force
ag~raxunately 11 parkers to seek parking etsewhere
Since it is lilcely that some or many of the existing spaces fronting the dealershi~ an 12[h Street are
currently used by employees of the dealership or employees of other local businesses, the uistatlation of
parkuig meters would be expected to d~splace those parkers to the northem partion of 12th Street as well
as to other ad~acent streers
Ont~on 4- Ins~~~ D~a~anal Parking on I2th Street
This opuan would i~crease the locat parkuig supply by creatu~g new parkmg spaces along 12th Streec The
success of adduig parkuig ~ia angle parking depends upon the specific canfigurat~on of each biock
Varzables that impact the amount of angle pariang that can be added uiclude the raadway width, the
number of curb crats for driveways and tt-e location of ~re hydrants and other re~ curb area. In general,
the longer length of unmterrupted curb face that ~s available, the more angle ~ark~ng tl~at can be pm~ided
Very short sections of curb may not suppart angle parking due to potent~al blockages of ad1acent
driveways Angle garlcing has been cammoniy used on many muln-family residential streets uy cit~es
throughout southern Califom~a
Angle parking on streets ~s rarely designed as 90 degree (nght angle parking) except on dead end streets
~ or extremely 1ow volumellow speed streets_ 'I'~erefore, for ease of access, sight d~stance cans~derat~ons
and safery, angle parlcuig on a street is usually at 45 or 60 degrees The greater the degree of the angle,
the more spaces that can fit on the street For purposes of ttvs analysis, 60 degree angle gark~ng has been
~ reviewed on 12th Street between Arizana Avenue and Santa Monica Bouie~ard. A concept design of b0
degree angle parlang has been de~elaped based an the existmg red curb and dnveway locatior~s. Due to
the width of the street (50 fee[ curb-to~urb), angle parlcuig would orily be possible on one side of the
~ street, while mainta~nuig parallel curb pazlang on the att-er side (a curb-to-curb width of approximately
64 feet would be needed to pravide ang[e parking on both sides af the street)
Based an the review, it appears that approxunately 31 spaces could be prov~ded on the east side or 30 on
~ rhe west side with 60 degree angIe paricuig. Thss ~s 10 to 13 spaces more than the current supply. Of those
10 to 13 acided spaces, approxunately two would be added m t~e cammerc~ portion of the black and 8
to 11 woutd be added u~ the residential portion of the block The commerciai spaces would direcdy offset
~ some of the loss of ~arkicig dve to the permit pazku~g d~suict Based an the ass~tned displacement of 13
commercial parkers and the addition of two djagonal spaces m ttre commercial area, the net ~mnact under
t~.s alternative would be 11 spaces Figure 9 canceptually ~llustrates potenua160 ~egree angle parku~g on
