Estimated Aevenue Impacts
Attach~ents B and C are the City Attorney`s ballot S~immgrigS of the SOB and 5*iLE
initiatives. Based an the provisions af each initiative and the City Attorney's
summaries, City Staff have estimated the direct revenue impact of each initiative.
Due to time limitations, it was no~ possible to determine if additional servica
costs would be generated by either initiative T'he estimated revenue impactis are
summarized as follows and detailed at Attachments D and E
-- SOS Initiative - This initiative prohibits the future development of
hotels/mote].s, and restaurant/food service facilities of more than 2,000
sq. ft. and/or one story in height in a propased Beach 4verlay Dis~rict.
This means that the new hotel developments at 415 Pacific Goast Highway and
at 1746 Ocean Avenue might not occur (either of these projects cou~d
proceed if it was determined that they have a vested righti priar to passage
of the initiative). Shauld these two new hotel developments not accur
because of the passage af this initiative, the City would lose
approximately $3 5 millionfyear in direct revenues.
-- SMLE Initiative -'This initiative prohibits citywide for three years any
hotel development proposed a€ter May 15, 19$9, exempts the new hotel
developments at 415 Pacific Coast Highway and 174b Ocean Avenue, and
speci~i.es that for the next I4 years, 258 of Transient Occupancy Tax

District be used only for cleaning up the Santa Monica Bay and 25$ be used
only ~or improvements to Palisades Park and City-wide paxks maintenance and
acquisition As a result of exe~pting the two new hatel developments, the
City would realize a direct revenue of $3 5 millian/year of which in the
first year $1.2 million would be earmarked for bay clean up and parks
(one-half for each purpose) In addition, approxiinately $.8 million,
representing 50~ of Transient ~ccupancy Taxes from other hote~/motel
facilitiss in the praposed Baach Overlay District, would also be earmarked
for these same pu~rposes .
Changes in Land Use Policies
Both initiatives were analyzed by Gity 5taff ~y comparing them to the following
docwnents• the Zoning 4rdinance (adopted September 1488); the Land Use Element
{adopted dctober 1984}, the Land Use Plan of the Local Coastal Program (3une 1486),
and the Santa Monica State Beach Resource Management and Development Plan (approved
by the City Council 5eptember 27, 1983}
The fallowing summarizes the results of these analyses TY-e details of each
ana~ysis are at Attachments F and G.
-- SOS Initiative - In general, this initiative is consistent with existing
land use policies except those policies that relate to visitor
accam~nodations and uses in the coastai area. Further, the initiative will
limit future additions of new uses in alI the affected zoning districts.
-- SMLE Initiative - In ganeral, this initiative is cansistent wi.th existing
land use policies except those policies that relate to visitor
accommodations and uses in the coastal area Further, the initiative wi.ll
limit future additions af new uses i.n all the affected zoning districts,

BOUNDED BY THE PACIFIC QCEAN ON THE WEST, BY TH~ CITY BOUNDARY ON
TH~ NORTH, BY THE CENTERLINE OF OCEAN AVENUE ,AND NEILSON WAY ON
THE EAST, AND BY THE CITY BOUNDARY ON THE SOU~H AND PR~HIBITING

bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, by the City boundary on
the north, by the cent~rline of ocean Avenue and Neilson Way an
the east, and by th~ City boundary on the south. The Beach
Overlay ^istrict expr~ss3.y excludes the Santa Monica Pier

platform. However, by its terms, the Beach O~erlay Da.stric~ daes
not include that por~ion of the Santa Monica Pa.ar that extends

BALLOT TITLE AND Si3MMAFtY PREPARED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
AN xNITIATIVE ESTABLISHING A THREE YEAR CITYWIDE MORATORIUM ON
HOTEL DEVELOPMENT, ESTABLISH~NG A BEACH ~VERLAY DISTRICT IN THE
AREA BOUNDED BY THE PACIFIC OC~AN ON THE WEST, BY THE CITY
BOUNDARY ON THE NORTH, BY THE CENTERLINE OF OCEAN AVENUE AND
NEILSQN WAY ON THE EAST, AND BY THE CITY BOUNDARY ON THE SOUTH
(WZTH CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS), AND RESTRICTING FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TA7{ GENERATED FROM HOTELS IN THE BEACH
OVERLAY DISTRICT AND AT 415 PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY FOR CLEAN-UP OF
THE SANTA MQNICA BAY AND FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS
This initiative seeks to accomplish several purposes re~ated
to hotel development and the use of certain City funds
attributable to such deve~opment.
The initiative establishes a three year citywide mvratori.um
an hotels proposed after May 7.5, 1989, exempting certain
specified hote~ pro~ects. A study is to be perfarmed during
those years to determine whether and what further hatel
develop~ent shou~d be permitted in the City.
The initiative creates a Beach Overlay Distriet which
includes the area baunded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, by
the City baundary on the north, by the centerline of Ocean Avenue
and Neilson Way an the east, and by the City boundary on the
south. The Beach Overlay District expressly excludes the Santa
Monica Pier~ the area bounded by the Pier on the narth, by the
centerline of ~cean Avenue on the eas't, by Seaside Terrace on the
South, and by the Promenade an the west (the intended site for a
Santa Monica Pier parking structure), and 4~5 Pacific Coast
Highway (th~ intended site af th~ proposed ~anta Monica Seach
Hotel).
Within the Beach Overlay District, the City's development
standards are modified in severa~ respect~. Conversion of
existing bui~dings to hotels is grohibited throughout the
District. In the R--4 pvrtion of the District, the height iimit
is reduced from ~our stories, 45 feet, to thre~ stories, 35 feet.
In th~ R-3 portian of the District, the height limit is xeduced
from three stflries, 40 feet, to two stories, 30 feet.
Within the area currently zan~d Residential Visitor
Commercial ("RVC"), the initiative allows restaurants with 50
seats or fewer which do not serv~ alcohol ta remain permitted
uses while requ~ri~ng restaurants in the RVC District containing
aver 50 seats or serving alcohol ta obtain canditional use
permits.
The initiative earmarks fifty percent {50~) of tha transient
occupancy tax monies collected by the City from hotels i.n the
Beach Overlay Distric~ and from the proposed ha~eJ. at 435 Pacific
Coast Highway for expenditure on c~ean-up of the Santa Monica Bay
- ~ -
` ~ • i
and on improvements to Palisades Park, park maintenance and
acquisition citywide until the year 2000.
The measure also requires that its contents be included in
any land use plan or local coastal program adopted by the City
and that the ~aeasure be submitted to the Californ~a Coastal
Coiamission to the extent required by law.

LAND USE ANALYSIS RELATING TO
THE SAVE OUR BEACH IN~TIATIVE
(September 21, 1989)
The following document out~ines the areas that the 3ave Our Beach
Initiative palicies are incansisten~ with the City's existing
land use policies. The following documents w~re reviewed for
this analysis: the Zoning Ordinance (adopted September 1988);
the Land Use Element (adapted October 1984); the Land Use P~an of
the Lacal Caastal Program (June 1986}; Santa Monica State Beach
Resource Management and Development Plan (approved by the City
Council September 27, 1983}.
In general, the Save Our Beach Initiativa is consistent with
existing land use palicies except those policies that relate to
visitor accomxnodations and us~s in the coastal area. Further,
the znitiative will limit fut~re additions of new uses in all the
a€fected zoning districts.

LAND USE PLAN OF THE LOCAL GOASTAL PROGRAM
GOALS AND POLICIES
r!
Ove xwi ew
The Save Our Beach Initiative is generally cansistent with the
goals and policies of the June 1986 draft of the Land Use Plan
(LtJP) of the Lacal Coastal Program. However, policies relating
to visitor serving uses, visitar accommadations and future
permitted uses are potentia~ly conflicting. The following
outlines thase policies contained in the LUP that are potentially
inconsistent with the Save ~ur Beach Initiative. The text of the
policies reflact the changes requested by the Coastal Cam~-ission.
Language in italics is proposad ta be deleted, and language in
bold type is proposed to be added.
Ba1d faced sentences following specific pQlicies serve ta
identify and brief~y describe the areas of possible
inconsistency.
GOALS
Secti.on 300~1.5 of the Coastal Act includes a set of basic goals
for each coastal protection program in the State. The policies
adopted in Santa Monica's Local Coastal Land Use Plan are
intended to accamplish the following goals:
C. Maximize public access to and aZong the coast and maximize
public recreational opportunities in the Caastal Zone
consistent with sound resaurce canservation principles and
c~nstitutionally protected rights of private praperty
owners.
By prohibitinq hotels and motels, the Initi.ative may decrease the
availability of existinq overniqht aacommodations far visitors.
This is inconsistent with the goal of maximizinq public acaess to
the coast.
D. Assure priority for caas~al-dependent and coastal-related
development pver other davelopment on the coast.
Hotels, moteis and restauran~s are consic3ered to be coastal
related development. The 2ni~iative prahibits hatel and motel
uses, and restricts restaurants in the Heaah Overlay District.
GENERAL POLICIES
12. Property New development ~ocated north of the Pier between
the Pacific Coast Highway and the shorelina shall be
required to assist in enhancing public access to the beach
through development df a funding mechanism such as
- 17 -
~ ~
cantribution to a new development fee established to enhance
existing access and develop new accessways such as the
extension of the beach pramenade tv the narth beach or a
pedestrian averpass. The funds shall be depesited into a
separate coastal acaess account administared by the Ci~ty,
subject ta approval of expenditures by the Exeoutive
Director of the Coastal Comiaission; however, the projeats ta
be funded by the account shall be delineated in the
Implementatfon Plan. The fee ahall be assessed on
residential units on a per ~nit basis, and an Commercial or
other develapment on a per qrass square ~oat basis. The
ama~nt af the fee sha],1 be set forth in the Implementation
Pian and based upon the es~imated casts of specific access
prajects ~a be funded, divided by the total number of
residential uni'~s plus the qross square faotage af
cammezcial and cther development sub~ect to the fea.
By prohibiting hoteis, motels, and restrictinq restaurants, the
Initiative may indirectly affect pulal~c access by reducinq the
amoun~ af fees provided by this type of develop~aent. This will
result in an averail reduction in ths funds dedicated ta
increasing public access.
Transit
19. Transportation alternatives to the automobile sha12 be
r, provided including maintaining and ennancing bus service ta
and within the Coasta~ Zone and developing and maintaining a
shuttle system within the Coastal Zone if a pi].o~ shuttle
program proves effective and economically feasible. The
pilo~ shuttle program shall. be implemented within five years
from the date of Commission certification of the Land IIse
Plan and shall be operated far a min~mum af twa cansecutive
summer sertsons. The shuttle shall provide service to the
popular coastal destinations, to 3,hC1118~ the north nnd saut~h
santa Monica state beach area, the Pier, the Main stXeet
commercia7. area, and the Third Street MalljDOwntown area.
The shuttle proqram sna~I provide a main shuttle user
parking faaility but also use other public an~ private
parking facilities required to provi~e general public
coastal aacess parking. The City shall prepare a report to
the Commissian on the pilot shu~tle proqram after each
season of operation. The Cammission shall review, and if
necessary, make recommendations to the City on changes to
the shutt~.e praqram. The specifics of the pilat program
(routinq, schedu~.inq, advertisement, stop locations, e~c.}
shaii be prnvided zn the ~mplementatian Plan.
The Initiative restricts Euture permitted uses to on].y those
specifically caZled out by the Initiative. Implementation plans
far an "effective and economically feasible~~ shuttl.e proqram may

1984); the Land Use Plan of the Lacal Coastal Program (Jun~
1986); Santa Manica State Beach Resource Management and

LAND USE PLAN OF THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
GOALS AND POLICIES
Overview
The Santa Monica Environmental Pratection Initiative is generally
consistent with the goals and palicies of the June 1986 draft of
the Land Use P1an (LUP} of the Lacal Coastal Prograrn with the
exception of pola.cies relating to visitor serving uses and
accommodatians, and restrictions on future permitted uses such as
transit center without voter approval. The following aut~ines
those po~icies contained in the LUP that are pot~ntially
inconsisten~ with the Initiative. The text of the palicies
reflect the changes requested by the Coastal Cvmmission.
Language in italics is proposed ta ba deleted, and ~anguage in
bald type is proposed to be added.
Bald faced sentences following specific policies serve to
identify and briefly describe the areas o~ passi.ble
inconsistency.
GOALS
Sec~ion 3D001.5 af the Coastal Act includes a set of basic goals
for each coastal protection pragram in the State. The policies
adopted in Santa Monica's Local Coastal Land Use Plan are
intended to accomplish the following goals:
C. Maximize public a~cess to and alang the cQast and maxzmize
public recreational opportunities in the Coastal Zone
consistent with sound resource conservation principles and
canstitutional~y protected rights of private property
owners.
By restricting hot~ls and motels, the Initiative may decrease the
availability of existing overnight aaaommodations €or visitors.
~ This is inconsistent with the qoa3 of maximizinq public access to
the ccast.
D. Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-re~ated
development over other development or~ the coast.
Hotels, and motels are cansidered to be coastal reZated
development. The 2ni~iative prohibits for thres years hotel and
motel uses in the Beaclt Overlay District.
GENERAL POLICIES
12. Property New development located narth of the Piar between
the Pacific Caast Highway and the shoreline shail be
required to assist in enhancinq public access to the b~ach
through deuel~p~ent of a funding mechanism such as
_ i~ .~
~ .
:
contribu~ion to a new development fee estab~.ished to enhance
existing access and develop new accessways such as the
extension of the beach prornenacle to the narth beach or a
pedestrian averpass. The funds shall be deposited into a
separate coastal access ~tcaaunt administered by the City,
subject to approva~ of expenditures by the Executive
Director of the Coastal Commission; hawever, ~he projects to
be funded by the account shall be delineated in the
Implementation Plan. The fee ahall be assessed on
residential units on a per unit basis, and on cornmercial ar
other deve~opment an a per gross square foot basis. The
aiaount of the fee shall be set forth in tha In~plementation
Flan and based upo~ the estimated costs of specific BCC~SS
projects to be funded, aivided by the tvtal number af
xesidential uni~s plus the qxass square fcotaqe of
~pmmQrCYal and other development subject to the fes.
:"
By restricting hotels and motels, the Initiative may indireotly
affect public aocess by reducinq the amount af fees pravided by
this type of development. This will result in an overall.
reductian in the funds dedicated to increasing public access.
Transit
19. Transportation alternatives to the automobi~e shall be
pravided including maintaining and enhancing bus service to
and within the Coastal Zone and developing and ~aintaining a
shuttle system within the Coastal Zone if a p~lot shuttle
program proves effective and economicaZly feasible. The
pilat shu~tle proqram shall be implementea v~ithin five years
fram the date of Commission cer~ificatian of the Land Use
Plan and shall be operated for a minimum of twa consecutive
summer seasons. The shuttle shall provide service td the
popular coastal destinatians, to include the north and south
santa Monica state beach area, the Pa,er, the Main Street
aommercial area, and the Third Street Mall/Downtawn area.
The shuttie pragram shall provide a main shuttle user
parking faoility but a~so use other publia an8 private
parkinq faaili.ties required ta provide qeneral publia
coastal aacess parking. The City shall pregare a repvrt to
the Commissian on the piiot shuttle program after eaah
season of operation. The Commission sha11 review, and if
necessary, make recommendations to the Ci.ty an changes ta
the shuttle program. The speci~ias of tne pilot program
(routing, scheduling, advertzsement, stop ].vcations, etc.)
sha3~ be provided in the Implemsntation Plan.
The Initiati.ve restricts future permitted uses ta on~y thase
speaificaZly called out by the Initiative. Implementation plans
for an 'teffective and economically feasible'~ shuttle praqram may
requi~e supportinq land uses that have nat been anticipated or
identified as a penaitted use.
