City of City Council Report
Santa Monica
City Council Meeting: July 24, 2012
Agenda Item:,`
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director of Planning and Community Development
Subject: Development Agreement 12 -002 for Amendment to Development
Agreement 00 -001 for the RAND Corporation
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading an ordinance adopting
Development Agreement 12DEV -002.
Executive Summary
The applicant, RAND Corporation (`RAND "), proposes to amend its approved
Development Agreement with the City of Santa Monica, approved in 2000, that
authorized the construction of its facility at 1776 Main Street. RAND proposes to convert
approximately 17,300 square feet of floor area within Parking Level P1, which contains
56 parking spaces, into primarily offices. One additional space is lost on level P2 due to
the installation of an elevator. The offices would house production, warehousing and
distribution, a call center, and research offices. These functions, along with the 45 -50
employees engaged in the activities, are currently located across First Court alley in the
office building at 1733 Ocean Avenue.
The Planning Commission considered the proposed DA modification at its meeting of
May 16, 2012. No additional community benefits, beyond those already committed to by
RAND as part of the 2000 Development Agreement, are recommended by staff or by
the Planning Commission.
Background
A Development Agreement between RAND and the City, dated November 23, 2000,
authorized the construction of their approximately 309,000 square foot headquarters at
1776 Main Street. The building contains 3 levels of subterranean parking (P1 — P3) with
a total of 827 parking spaces.
1
As part of the original Development Agreement for the project, a number of substantial
public benefits were negotiated for inclusion in the project; these include:
• Dedication of land and construction of Vicente Terrace.
• Dedication of land and construction of a sidewalk along Main Street
Y Contribution and support to the Early Childhood Education Center: $500,000 to
promote full -day affordable, quality childcare and early child development
opportunities for young children. Provide support to identify funding opportunities
for early childhood education and convene annual community conferences to
support awareness of early childhood education and policy.
RAND is currently in compliance with all of the provisions of the 2000 Development
Agreement.
Project Description and Analysis
RAND proposes to amend its Development Agreement in order to convert
approximately 17,300 sq. ft. (18,216 gross sq. ft.) of area within Parking Level P1, which
contains 56 parking spaces, into offices for print, distribution, media services and new
UPS generator room. A small HVAC room and UPS generator room are also included.
More specifically, the offices would house production, warehousing and distribution, a
call center, and research offices. These functions, along with the 45 -50 employees
engaged in the activities, are currently located across First Court alley in leased space
in the office building at 1733 Ocean Avenue. The interior modifications required for the
space include:
• Extend one stairway and one elevator cab from the ground floor to level P1
• Relocate existing electrical equipment
• Add an air conditioning system to serve the new office space
• Relocate existing electrical, mechanical, plumbing and other services as
necessary to facilitate build -out of the space
2
As noted above, the new office space would allow 45 -50 employees currently working in
the Ocean Avenue office building to relocate across the alley. These employees
currently park in the RAND building. The proposed amendment would improve
pedestrian safety for these RAND employees as the immediate area of First Court alley
which is the pedestrian access path between RAND and the Maguire Thomas building,
currently a major construction zone for The Village project. Further, once The Village is
completed and occupied, First Court alley will be a significant vehicle access point to
the development.

RAND Parking Utilization Data
RAND provided parking utilization data from October 2009 to May 2010 (see Class 32
Categorical Exemption - Attachment B) which shows that the peak parking demand in
the RAND building is approximately 730 spaces at around 1:OOpm. The average peak
demand is approximately 583 spaces. During its deliberations, the Planning
Commission suggested that the parking utilization data from 2009 -2010 was old and
needed to be updated for the Council's consideration. RAND has provided staff with
data from the period February 20, 2012 through May 17, 2012 (Attachment E). This
more recent data indicates that the peak parking demand has decreased from 730
vehicles to 625 vehicles. Similarly, the average peak demand has dropped from 583 to
555 vehicles. Based on the parking garage's 827 space capacity, there is a surplus
supply of between 202 to 274 spaces, depending on peak or average peak period data.
This surplus supply demonstrates RAND's effective Transportation Demand
Management plan (see employee summary sheets and Average Vehicle Ridership
(AVR) calculation — Attachment C) which results in an AVR of 1.6 in the AM peak period
4
and 1.61 in the PM peak period. Therefore, the loss of 57 parking spaces associated
with the project would not result in a significant shortage of parking and associated
traffic impacts of queuing and road congestion.
Although RAND consistently has surplus parking spaces available, due to the nature of
their work and the need for security, these spaces cannot be offered to off -site users as
shared parking spaces.
Summary of Development Agreement Amendment
Only limited changes to the Development Agreement are required to accommodate
RAND's proposal:
f Plans for parking level P1 will be revised to include the office space;
• Permitted project floor area will increase by 18,216 square feet to a total of
327,085 square feet. Below -grade parking is not included in floor area
calculations but below -grade office space is considered floor area;
• Description of the principal components of the subterranean parking garage will
be revised to include the 17,300 square feet of production, warehousing and
distribution, a call center, and research offices; and
• Minimum number of parking spaces required on -site reduced to 768 spaces.
A Development Agreement Amendment is required for this project because the original
Development Agreement expressly requires an Amendment for the building to exceed
the floor area limitation contained in the original DA.
Community Benefits
The proposed DA Amendment will convert 17,300 sq. ft. (18,216 gross sq. ft.) of
existing parking to offices and bike storage, which is less than 6% of the total building
size. As noted above, the original 2000 DA limited the size of the building and does not
contain a provision used in current DAs that allows the Director of Planning to approve
minor modifications such as the proposal. Since a number of community benefits were
5
negotiated with RAND as part of the original Development Agreement for the
construction of their 309,000 sq. ft. headquarters building, staff believes that additional
community benefits are not warranted with this minor DA modification.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed DA modification
at its meeting of May 16, 2012. In its deliberations, the Commission supported RAND's
request and lauded them for their successful Transportation Demand Management
program which, as noted earlier, has resulted in Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) of 1.6
in the morning hours and 1.61 in the evening hours. Nevertheless, the Commission,
fearful that the 1.5 AVR target (contained in Chapter 9.16 Transportation Management
of the Code) would not result in enough available spaces to meet peak demand,
recommended to the Council that the DA contain a provision that RAND maintain a 1.6
AVR.
RAND response to AVR Condition
RAND believes the 1.6 AVR standard is unnecessary to address the Planning
Commission's concern regarding providing sufficient parking to meet demand. RAND
has provided a map of the distribution of RAND staff by zip codes that are in reasonable
proximity of the Expo light rail line (Attachment F), together with a map of rail line
(Attachment G). The number of RAND staff who live Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del
Rey, and Brentwood totals 271 individuals. Another 212 staff live in communities to the
east along the light rail route. RAND believes that targeting this group with information
and transit incentives when the light rail first opens will persuade additional staff to leave
their cars at home, further reducing on -site parking demand.
Staff concurs with RAND's position with respect to the AVR condition. With a peak of
approximately 1,100 employees at RAND, the 1.5 AVR target would result in a demand
for approximately 733 spaces, which is 33 spaces fewer than the 770 spaces available
after the project. In addition, since the Commission's action, the updated parking
R
utilization data indicates a significant decline in peak and average peak parking demand
since 2010. Finally, the opening of the light rail and RAND's success to date with their
TDM program will likely further lower the parking demand at RAND.
Land Use and Circulation Element Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) Goal
LU4.8 which states that the City should: "Utilize parking and TDM Districts to facilitate
efficient use of parking resources, shared and reduced parking opportunities, and trip
reduction goals." The LUCE Sustainability and Climate Change section includes a
Parking Management Strategy that calls for lower of- street parking requirements and
LUCE Circulation Policy T26.4 calls for projects to adjust parking requirements when it
can be demonstrated that a lower parking demand is appropriate.
Environmental Analysis
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the RAND headquarters
building in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).On September 19, 2000, the City Council certified the Final Environmental
Impact Report, adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation
Monitoring Plan and approved the project.
Staff concluded that the proposed project, the conversion of existing parking area to
offices, was exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to a Class 32 In -Fill Development Project exemption. The proposed
project qualifies for this exemption because:
• The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all
applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and
regulations.
• The proposed development occurs within City limits on a project site of no more
than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
7
• The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species.
• Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic,
noise, air quality, or water quality.
• The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services
The Class 32 determination is attached (Attachment B)
Conclusion
Only limited changes to the Development Agreement are required to accommodate
RAND's proposal. Staff's recommendation is based on the fact that the proposed
amendment would provide for greater efficiencies for RAND and greater safety for off -
site employees working in the Ocean Avenue office building. The immediate area of
First Court alley is currently a major construction zone for The Village project and will be
for some time. Once The Village is completed and occupied, First Court alley will be a
major vehicle access point to the development. Finally, the conversion of parking area
to office space can be accomplished while still providing sufficient off - street parking to
meet peak parking demand.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
There is no immediate budget/financial impact related to the policy decision.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
AND
RAND CORPORATION
Dated: 2012
AMENDMENT NO.1 TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to Development Agreement ( "Amendment No. 1) is entered into
as of 2012, by and between the CITY OF SANTA MONICA, a Charter City
organized and existing under the laws of the State of California (the "City "), and RAND
CORPORATION, a California non - profit corporation ( "RAND "), with reference to the
following facts:
A. The City and RAND entered into that certain Development Agreement dated
November 23, 2000 and recorded in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles on
February 1, 2001 as Instrument No. 01- 0176770 (the "Agreement ").
B. The Agreement relates to the real property located in the City of Santa Monica, State
of California, described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property "). RAND holds legal title to
the Property. The Property is developed with an office building and related uses and a
subterranean parking structure, commonly known as the RAND headquarters (the "Project ").
C. On or about June 16, 2011, the City Director of Planning and Community
Development approved a Minor Modification to the Agreement to revise Section 2.7.1(b) to
delete the requirement that RAND dedicate land for a new traffic circle on Main Street and to
modify Section 2.7.1(d) to require RAND to construct an Emergency Access Path in lieu of the
Pedestrian Path originally contemplated in the Agreement.
D. The Project was constructed to consolidate RAND's operations in a new headquarters
building; however, RAND continues to occupy space at 1733 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica,
located adjacent to the Property (the "Adjacent Property "), for production and office uses.
RAND desires to incorporate those uses into the Project to reduce trips, improve operational
efficiency and to enhance the safety of its employees, who currently must walk between the
Property and the Adjacent Property by crossing an alley that is becoming more frequently used
by vehicles in the area.
E. Through prolonged and detailed monitoring, RAND has documented a surplus of
parking spaces in the Project's subterranean parking structure.
F. RAND and the City desire to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth herein in
order to permit RAND to renovate the first floor of the Project's subterranean parking structure
to remove up to 57 parking spaces and add up to 17,300 square feet of floor area for RAND's
production and office uses.
G. The City has determined that the modifications to the Agreement set forth herein are
consistent with the goals and policies of the City's Land Use and Circulation Element ( "LUCE "),
including the following:
(1) "Utilize parking and TDM Districts to facilitate efficient use of parking resources,
shared and reduced parking opportunities, and trip reduction goals." (LUCE
Citywide Land Use Policy LU4.8, p. 2.1 -14)
(2) "The City plans to encourage parking efficiency strategies such as shared parking
(including sharing of existing parking), lowered parking requirements, and
parking pricing to reduce the demand for parking. Reducing parking demand can
also encourage alternatives to auto travel, promoting a pedestrian - friendly urban
landscape by reducing the amount of urban space dedicated to parking." (LUCE

(3) "Adjust parking requirements for projects when it can be demonstrated that a
lower parking demand is appropriate." (LUCE Circulation Policy T26.4, p. 4.0-
73)
H. The City Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 16, 2012
with respect to the Amendment No. 1 and recommended that the City Council adopt the
proposed amendment.
I. In taking this action, the City Council has (a) specifically considered and approved the
impacts and benefits of the requested Amendment No. 1 and has concluded that this Amendment
No. 1 is consistent with the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City and the
surrounding region, and as detailed above, promotes the goals, objectives, and policies of the
General Plan, (b) determined that the City has complied with all procedures required by
Government Code Section 65864, et. seq., and Santa Monica Municipal Code Chapter 9.48 with
respect to Amendment No. 1, and (c) duly authorized the City to enter into this Amendment No.

Project Applicant: Rand Corporation
Discretionary Approval(s) Required: Amendment to Development Agreement
CEQA Guidelines Section 15300 provides a list of classes of project which have been determined
to not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore are categorically exempt
from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. CEQA Guidelines
Section 15332 provides a class of in -fill development projects (Class 32) that are categorically
exempt. In order to qualify for this exemption, projects must comply with all of the following
findings:
Please describe in detail how the proposed project will meet the following criteria:
(attach additional pages if necessary)
1. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all
applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation
and regulations.
The proposed project would convert a portion of the existing area within the
Rand subterranean parkincigarage into office space The purpose of the
project is to consolidate existing office functions that currently occur off -site (in
the adjacent building to the west) into the existing Rand building. Specifically,
approximated 15,000 square feet of parking area (consisting of approximately 57
parking spaces) within the P1 Level of the larking _ garage would be modified to
house office functions such as print /distribution shop, call center, and bicycle
parking The proposed project would require relocation of electrical equipment
installation of an HVAC system and the extension of circulation stairs and
elevator to the P1 Level. No new employees and no new trips would be
generated by the conversion of the parking area to office space Rather, the
project would allow for the 45 -50 existing off -site employees to work within the
Rand building.
2. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more
than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
City of Santa Monica
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Santa 510,11,111 Class 32 Exemption Findings
The project site consists of approximately 15,000 square feet of existing interior
parking area in the Rand subterranean parking garage.
3. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species.
The project site is entirely developed as a parking garage No endangered rare
or threatened species occurs on the site.
4. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
No new employees and no new trips would be generated by the conversion of
the parking area to office space Rather, the project would allow for the existing
off -site employees that currently work in the adjacent building to work within the
Rand building. These existing off -site employees currently park in the Rand
building and walk to the adjacent off -site building. No changes to trip
generation or trip distribution would occur as a result of the project. Therefore,
no significant traffic impacts would occur.
Relative to parking
parking
utilization data (see Appendix A)
shows that the
peak parking demand
in
the Rand building
is s approximately 730 spaces
occurring at approximately
1.00 pm on a typical
Tuesday afternoon The
average peak demand is
approximately 583 spaces
Based
on the parking
garage's capacity
of 827 parking
spaces there
is a surplus supply
of between
103 to 244 spaces
depending
on peak or average
peak period)
Therefore the
loss of 57 parking
spaces
associated with the
project would
not result in a
significant shortage
of parking and associated
traffic impacts
tog queuing,
circulation issues).
Since no new trips would be aenerated from the proiect, no operational
increases in vehicular noise and air pollutant emissions would occur. During
construction noise and air pollutant emissions would be enclosed within the
subterranean parking area and would not affect off -site sensitive receptors.
Therefore no significant impacts related to noise or air quality would occur.
Furthermore operational and construction - related impacts related to water
quality would not occur as the project site would be located within the interior of
the subterranean parking garage.
5. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
DO City of Santa Monica
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
s�;..tn m0,110d, Class 32 Exemption Findings
The proiect site is already served by existing utilities (storm drains, water, and
sewer) and public services. Conversion of the parking area to office space
would not increase the demand for these facilities and services. As previously
stated, the purpose of the project is to consolidate the office functions that
currently occur off -site into the Rand building. No new employees would be
generated as a result of the project, and no new major utility improvements or
expansion of public services would be required.
