Report
City Council Meeting: March 6, 2018
Agenda Item: 4.A
1 of 23
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, Parking Operations (PCD)
Subject: Downtown Parking Management Pricing Strategies Study Session
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Direct staff to draft an ordinance modifying the Santa Monica Municipal Code
(“SMMC”) Section 3.16 related to on-street parking management and Section
3.04 related to the establishment of off-street public parking fees;
2. Review and provide direction to staff on the proposed parking management
strategies consistent with the policies in the Land Use and Circulation Element
(“LUCE”) to further manage congestion, improve public parking services, address
downtown residents’ parking desires, and encourage shifts toward more
sustainable modes of transportation;
3. Direct staff to report annually on the State of Citywide Parking, including a
financial and operational analysis as well as recommendations for future year
parking rate adjustments.
Executive Summary
Parking policy and parking facilities have been integral to the evolution of Santa Monica,
particularly our vibrant Downtown and three miles of beachfront. The City owns and/or
operates 43 parking facilities with approximately 14,000 available public parking spaces.
These parking facilities help support the diverse local economy by providing convenient
access to housing, retail centers, hotels and restaurants, employment, a public beach
and community parks, education and recreation centers, special events, and municipal
services and social service agencies alike.
Both policy and the market for parking are changing, however. There is increasing
recognition of the high economic and environmental cost of subsidized parking, and
growing recognition that in a region where there are seven parking spaces for every car
that greater attention must be paid to the efficient utilization of parking.
2 of 23
Council adopted policies outlined in the Land Use and Circulation Element (“LUCE”)
and Downtown Community Plan (“DCP”) suggest that parking pricing is one of the most
effective strategies to reduce traffic congestion, encourage the shift towards alternative
modes of transportation, and facilitate a more efficient use of existing parking supply.
Based on a comprehensive analysis of the aggregated parking transaction and
occupancy data, staff seeks Council direction on employing a demand-responsive
parking pricing strategy in the Downtown core and peripheral parking facilities to
proactively manage the various weekday and weekend demands, including traffic ,
congestion and circulation challenges. These policy shifts are part of the City’s larger
focus on the Strategic Goal of creating a new model of mobility, one that Council
reaffirmed during its wide-ranging February 27, 2018 study session, emphasizing the
importance of aligning our policies and investments to support a more livable
community. In addition, these concepts reflect changing mobility patterns as alternate
travel modes including ride share companies, bike share, electric scooters, and the
advent of autonomous vehicles reshape how people travel, with the apparent net impact
of reducing and/or redistributing locational parking demand.
Staff believes that creating a weekday versus weekend pricing structure throughout the
Downtown and peripheral facilities would better align pricing with demand to ensure that
there is at least 15% availability at all times in all facilities, and allow the City to maintain
sufficient ongoing revenues to fund parking, traffic and circulation programs, and other
essential public services. Staff recommends that Council review and provide comment
on the proposed parking management strategy options, and direct staff to return to
Council in the future with the necessary resolutions to adopt revised transient parking
rates and permit fees.
Additionally, staff recommends that Council direct staff to draft an ordinance for first
reading modifying the SMMC Section 3.16.170 and Section 3.04.035 to streamline the
process and modernize the municipal code to reflect the current practice of setting on-
street and off-street parking rates based on the policies and goals outlined in the LUCE
and DCP.

Over the previous five months, Staff conducted study sessions with various
stakeholders throughout the City to ensure that the needs of the communities
represented by the respective stakeholders were considered in the overall proposed
parking management strategies. Feedback from each body is incorporated in the
strategies outlined in the Discussion Section of the staff report.
Background
On May 11, 2010, Council adopted a resolution establishing new parking rates for off -
street parking as a first phase in implementing the 2009 Walker Parking Study
recommendations. The Walker Parking Study found that there was an imbalance in
pricing between the different parking facilities within Downtown resulting in the
unintended consequence of putting visitors, employees, and transient and monthly
parkers in competition for the most convenient and often least expensive spaces while
other spaces in the City remained unoccupied. Walker Parking consultants provided
recommendations consistent with the LUCE to better manage parking demand and
maximize efficiency of the public parking supply in Downtown Santa Monica. The
Walker Parking Study recommended that the City:
Increase on-street and off-street public parking rates in the Downtown to more
efficiently and effectively utilize existing public and private parking resources to
meet parking needs, thereby creating greater availability of parking for visitors in
the Downtown
Use increased parking revenues to enhance parking operations, parking
technology, wayfinding, parking occupancy assessments, and capital repairs and
replacements
Review parking occupancies regularly and adjust parking rates to encourage
optimal use of public parking resources
On July 10, 2012, Council adopted a resolution establishing new parking fees at
citywide on-street parking meters, off -street parking facilities, and beach parking lots,
including a reduction in the Downtown grace period from two hours to 90 minutes.
These changes were informed by a parking rate study conducted by Walker Parking
4 of 23
Consultants in 2012, consistent with the LUCE and the 2009 Walker Parking Study with
the continued goal of:
Managing parking demand to ensure availability in all locations and better use of
underutilized parking resources
Identifying the relationship between the pricing of public parking, private parking,
adjacent land uses and parking demand
Reviewing parking occupancies and adjust parking rates to encourage optimal
use of public parking resources
Developing an objective, technical and transparent process by which to set public
parking rates
On May 10, 2016, Council adopted a resolution establishing revised parking rates for
the Civic Center and Downtown parking facilities to address increased high weekday
occupancies and discourage potential “park and ride” activity due to the arrival of the
Expo Light Rail. Staff anticipated that the rate increase would result in an a dditional $4.2
million in ongoing revenues beginning in FY 2016-17 based on utilization rates at that
time and some attrition in transient transactions because of the higher rates. Staff
monitored parking occupancies over the course of the first year of Expo Light Rail
service. Attachment A includes a detailed year over year analysis of transactions,
utilization, parking duration and peak occupancies for each parking facility.
Discussion
Parking policy is ultimately driven by the City’s larger policy goals, including supporting
the Mobility Strategic Goal and contributing to the City’s Framework of Economic
Opportunity and fiscal sustainability. This report seeks direction for staff to undertake a
transition in parking policy that involves a range of inte rrelated changes. Accordingly,
this report breaks down the concepts via the following sections:
1. Analysis of Parking Occupancies, Transactions, and Durations
2. Proposed Downtown and Peripheral Parking Facility Pricing Strategies
3. Other Items for Council Consideration
5 of 23
4. Alternative Pricing Strategies for Future Consideration
5. Annual State of the Citywide Parking Report
6. Public Outreach and Communication with Boards and Commissions
Section 1 – Analysis of Parking Occupancies, Transactions, and Durations
(Sessions)
In FY 2015-16, there were 7.6 million total (transient and permit) parking transactions in
the Downtown core and peripheral facilities discussed in this staff report. In FY 2016-17,
there were 7.1 million total parking transactions, resulting in a 0.5 million, or 7%,
reduction when compared to the prior year. The data included in Attachment A shows
that the parking rate increase in FY 2016-17, in conjunction with increased popularity of
Transportation Network Companies (“TNC”) and the increased demand in Expo Light
Rail ridership (Attachment B) had a direct impact on parking behavior in the City,
particularly successful in achieving the following goals:
Reducing total parking sessions in these Downtown core facilities
Discouraging park and ride activity in the Downtown core facilities
Reducing high weekday peak occupancies in most of the Downtown parking
facilities
Freeing up parking for short-term parking for residents and Downtown visitors
Encouraging parkers to utilize less expensive parking facilities on the periphery
of the Downtown core, or consider shifting to alternative modes of transportation
The reduction in total parking transactions continued into the first half of FY 2017-18. In
light of this, on February 13, 2018, staff included a $3.9 million, or 7%, reduction in
projected General Fund parking revenues as part of the Midyear Financial Status
Update to Council. The midyear budget adjustment corrects the previous ongoing
revenue projection related to the FY 2016-17 parking rate increase and accounts for the
current shift in how staff believes people travel into the Downtown, including the
following:
Expo Light Rail ridership realized a significant increase when it began six-minute
headway service in March 2017. The City’s Traffic Management Division also
6 of 23
implemented a signal priority protocol for Expo trains around this time, giving the
rail “the green light” versus surrounding traffic. Expo now has a significant time
and frequency advantage it did not have prior to March 2017. Additional
information related to Expo Light Rail Ridership Statist ics are included in
Attachment B.
The Police Department worked out “geo-fenced” customer pick up solutions with
Lyft and with Uber. As such, these TNC operators have streamlined their
operations making them even more attractive for use in our downtown, and along
Main Street. The significance is that TNC customers are able to get greater
access to downtown and Main Street venues than ever before. This provides a
competitive time and money advantage over the pricing and location of our
parking structures and lots.
The nature of downtown shopping is changing significantly. As mentioned in the
Midyear Financial Status Update, many customers are switching from visiting
brick and mortar stores and making bulk purchases to on-line shopping.
While there were also slight decreases in the average peak occupancy for weekdays
and weekends in some of the Downtown and peripheral facilities during the first half of
FY 2017-18, other parking facilities either maintained existing peak occupancies or
realized increases primarily due to their proximity and accessibility to the Downtown.
Section 2 – Proposed Downtown and Peripheral Parking Facility Pricing
Strategies
The LUCE and the DCP include specific language about how to better manage the
parking resource and achieve greater mode shift to other more sustainable
transportation options. The LUCE suggests managing parking in Santa Monica as a
limited resource, ensuring that adequate parking is available for residents, employees,
and visitors by establishing an availability target of at least 15% of spaces in every lot
and garage at all times. It also suggests that the City should adjust parking prices and
the hours of enforcement to meet this target, varying by time of day, season, and
location. Moreover, the LUCE recognizes that parking provides a substantial positive
7 of 23
revenue stream to the City that should continue well into the future. The DCP echoes
many of the core parking management principles of the LUCE, including maximizing the
use of the Citywide parking inventory of available spaces and actively reviewing parking
data to address occupancy, traffic, access and circulation challenges. The DCP goes a
step further and recommends an integration of public and private spaces into a shared
network with real-time information to further inform policy decisions.
Setting sensible parking pricing is one of the most effective strategies to manage
demand, ensure parking availability at all times, maximize the use of underutilized
facilities, reduce traffic congestion, and encourage the use of more sustainable modes
of transportation. Staff included three strategy options for Council consideration, r eview,
and discussion. Based on the Council adopted policies mentioned above, staff seeks
Council direction on the concept of implementing a demand-responsive parking pricing
strategy that sets different rate structures on weekdays and weekends based on th eir
different demand patterns.
The proposed pricing adjustments included in this staff report would continue the
multipronged strategy of:
Balancing the needs of the community, including residents, businesses,
employees, and visitors alike, with a focus on establishing a new rate structure
that welcomes and favors residents as our priority users into the Downtown area,
Facilitating desired turnover and incentivizing longer term parking sessions
outside of the Downtown core,
Encouraging the mode shift towards sustainable transportation options, and
Maintaining sufficient revenues to reinvest in traffic, parking, and other essential
public services programs.
To achieve the aforementioned objectives, staff asks that Council consider and provide
feedback on the following range of choices included in Options A, B, and C:
1. Extend the pilot Downtown employee discount validation parking program for one
additional year, through June 30, 2019
8 of 23
2. Use shorter pricing periods, ensuring minimal impact on short-term parking
sessions and progressively increasing the incremental parking rates for
successive time periods. This is designed to encourage long-term parking
sessions in the less expensive parking facilities outside of the Downtown core, or
to encourage consideration of mode shift
3. Set monthly parking permit fees to 11 times the transient weekday daily
maximum rate, limiting monthly permit parking holders’ access to one or two
facilities
4. Reduce the free “grace period” in the Downtown core facilities, Parking
Structures 1-8 and Ken Edwards Center, from 90 minutes to 60 minutes
5. Reduce the free “grace period” in Parking Structure 9, a non-Downtown core
facility located north of Wilshire Blvd., from 90 minutes to 30 minutes

The proposed incremental parking rate tables and graphs are included in Attachment C.
Parking Structures 1 and 3 are both located on 4 th Street between Wilshire Blvd. and
Santa Monica Blvd. with a combined inventory of 674 total parking spaces. Below is a
table outlining the average peak occupancies for Parking Structures 1 and 3 for
weekdays and weekends:

9 of 23
Both facilities regularly reach weekday and weekend peak occupancies between 11
a.m. and noon, maintain peak occupancies through 8 p.m., and do not begin to
significantly taper off until after 9 p.m. Staff believes that the excessively high weekday
and weekend peak occupancies are due to the limited capacities and proximity of these
two facilities to the Third Street Promenade and surrounding businesses. Additionally,
these are the first two parking facilities introduced to travelers along the Wilshire
corridor when headed south on 4th street.
Historical City pricing strategies suggest these facilities be priced similarly to the other
facilities within the Downtown core to avoid customer confusion an d reduce circulation
and congestion problems related to simply shifting travel from one location to another.
However, based on the data and price sensitivity, staff seeks Council direction on
setting parking rates for these facilities slightly higher than the rest of the parking
portfolio to respond to the specific demand in these facilities with a goal of ensuring at
least 15% availability at all times. Staff anticipates that this pricing strategy will shift
parkers to other less expensive facilities within the Downtown core or periphery, thereby
facilitating a more efficient use of the overall Downtown parking availability.

Most of these Downtown parking facilities regularly reached weekday peak occupancies
around noon and maintained peak occupancy through 8 p.m. before sharply tapering off
after 8 p.m. On the weekends, most of these facilities regularly reached peak
occupancies by noon and maintain peak occupancy to as late as 9 p.m. before sharply
tapering off in the late night.
Staff believes that setting the parking rates for th ese facilities slightly lower than the
proposed rates for Parking Structures 1 and 3 will:
Account for anticipated increase in parkers shifting from parking in Parking
Structures 1 and 3 due to the rate differential
Improve traffic circulation within the Downtown core
Take a proactive approach in better managing congestion while ensuring 15%
availability within all of the Downtown core facilities at all times

The Ken Edwards Center Parking Facility regularly reached weekday peak occupancy
around 11 a.m., slowly tapering off through 3 p.m., and then experienced a sharp
decline after 4 p.m. Staff believes that this is due to the various programs offered at the
Ken Edwards Community Center during the week. Parking in this facility is subsidized
by the General Fund through free parking validations provided to Ken Edwards
Community Center program users. On the weekends, the facility is significantly
underutilized, reaching peak occupancy around 17% at noon, and gradually emptying
throughout the afternoon. Staff believes that the low weekend usage is due to limited
weekend programs offered at the Ken Edwards Community Center as well as a lack of
permanent signage indicating this is a public parking facility. Staff recently installed
temporary signage on the weekends to direct traffic into the facility to temporarily
address this issue. As a result, there has been a slight uptick in transactions and
occupancy in this facility.
12 of 23
Based on the occupancy and transaction data, staff recommends increasing the
weekday daily maximum rate from $17.50 to $20.00, and reducing the weekend daily
maximum rate from $17.50 to $10.00. Staff believes that the proposed rate structure
aligns with the demand for this facility, ensuring that there will not be any weekday
parking spillover from other Downtown core parking facilities due to price differential.
Staff anticipates that the proposed weekday rate would ensure 15% availability at all
times for Ken Edwards Center program users. The proposed reduction in the weekend
rate is to maximize the use of this underutilized facility on the weekend.

Staff believes that pricing these two facilities similarly will help balance the demand
between them and reduce on-street traffic in the Downtown core as part of the overall
peripheral parking pricing strategy. Staff anticipates that the proposed rate structure will
ensure at least 15% availability as these are the two most northern parking facilities in
13 of 23
the entire portfolio and are likely to attract new parkers shifting from Parking Structures
1 and 3, and parkers shifting from the Downtown core due to the rate differential and
easier accessibility from Wilshire Blvd.

The proposed changes reflect adjustments to the weekday and weekend incremental
rate at the Civic Center parking facilities without adjusting the grace period, and without
adjusting the weekday or weekend daily maximum rate. The proposed incremental rate
adjustments are simply correcting the imbalance in the Downtown core incremental
parking rates versus non-Downtown core facilities. It currently costs more to park in the
weekday at the Civic Center for three hours ($5.50) than it does in the Downtown core
facilities ($3.10). The proposed changes keeps long-term parking sessions in these
facilities less expensive than the Downtown core, thus continuing to support the holistic
parking strategy that ensures maximum use of all parking facilities in the citywide
parking portfolio. Staff will return to Council with the results of the recently begun Walker
Parking Consultants Civic Center parking impact study and a broader Civic Center
parking policy discussion in the future.

The Main Library Parking Structure regularly reached peak occupancy around 11 a.m.,
maintained peak occupancy through 6 p.m. before sharply tapering off in the evening.
The high weekday peak occupancy can be attributed to long-term weekday parkers
taking advantage of the cheaper all day parking rate ($10 .00), when compared to the
Downtown all day parking rate ($17.50) and Civic Center all day parking rate ($14.00).
Staff anticipates parkers will shift from the Downtown core to the Library due to the price
differential; therefore, the proposed rate structure would allow the Main Library Parking
Structure to service these parkers and ensure 15% availability at all times.

Main Library $82.50 $154.00 $71.50 87%
Affordable Housing 2 $65.00 $65.00 $0.00 0%
Currently, the “anytime access” Downtown monthly parking permits for Parking
Structures 1-9 and Ken Edwards Center are $176 per month, which is equivalent to
about 10 times the weekday daily maximum transient parking rate of $17.50. As most
full-time employees work an average of 22 days per month, this effectively represents
12 days of discounted or subsidized parking for monthly permit holders.
Staff recommends increasing the monthly parking permit rate to 11 times the weekday
daily maximum rate of the respective facilities, in an effort to balance the demand of
regular long-term Downtown employees with the need to ensure parking availability for
transient, Santa Monica residents, and visitors who frequent Downtown. The proposed
monthly permit rates would also create a rate structure that is in alignment with LUCE,
DCP goals, and Council policy. This action allows complete transparency of the hidden
subsidy provided with monthly parking. Setting the monthly parking permit rates to 11
times the weekday daily maximum rate effectively represents a 50% discount or subsidy
for monthly parking permit holders. As stated in the LUCE, “unrealized revenues related

Structure at this time due to the recently begun parking impact study being conducted by Walker Parking
Consultants.

to subsidized parking is money that could otherwise be used for capital repairs and
operating cost of providing parking and incentives for alternative modes of
transportation.”
Staff recommends a gradual and well broadcasted phasing in of the monthly parking
permit increases over the course of next fiscal year for Parking Structures 1 and 3,
Parking Structure 10, and the Main Library Parking Structure. This would allow staff
time to conduct outreach to the impacted customers and provide alternative parking
options, if necessary, in other facilities based on a review of transactions and durations
in the other facilities.

Affordable Housing $65.00 $65.00 $0.00 0%
The detailed rate tables and graphs are included in Attachment D.
Option C
Council could consider implementing some of the proposed rate changes in Option A or
Option B in phases, including adopting some of the proposed rate changes without any
adjustments to the grace periods at this time. Depending on the guidance provided by
18 of 23
Council at this study session, staff will return to Council with any necessary ordinance
and/or resolutions in the future.
Rate Survey of Privately-owned Parking Facilities in the City of Santa Monica
Staff conducted a survey of parking rates for privately owned parking facilities within the
City of Santa Monica, as these facilities directly affect parking demand and traffic
circulation in the City. Attachment E includes a rate graph of six privately owned parking
facilities and their respective weekday parking rates. Most of these private parking
facilities reach a weekday daily maximum parking rate between $20.00 and $22.50 at
three hours of parking, and none of them provides free grace periods without validation
to their customers. These same private parking facilities have a flat weekend rate
ranging from $6 to 12 upon entry.
Staff believes that the proposed parking rate adjustments to the City facilities included in
this staff report take into account the market conditions, are aligned with Council
adopted policies and parking management strategies, and are appropriately priced to
ensure that there is not an unintended consequence of parking spillover to City facilities
due to pricing imbalances between public and private parking facilities.
Section 3 – Other Items for Council Consideration
3A – Ordinance
Section 3.16.170 of the SMMC governs the process in which on -street parking meter
rates can be adjusted, including specific target occupancy rates, the amount and
frequency of rate changes, the amount in which and the minimum and maximum range
in which on-street meter rates can be adjusted. This policy and process is outdated and
does not align with other provisions in the municipal code, particularly Section 3.04.035
that allows off-street parking rates to be established and changed from time to time via
resolution. Staff recommends streamlining the process and modernizing the municipal
code to reflect the current practice of setting on-street and off-street parking rates based
on policies and goals outlined in the LUCE and DCP. As part of a holistic parking
management strategy, on-street parking rates should be set in tandem with off-street
parking rates to facilitate the turnover of on-street parking spaces more frequently and
19 of 23
making them available for short-term use, directing traffic off the streets into the parking
facilities, and ensuring at least 15% availability at all times.
3B – Adjust Free Disabled Placard Parking Policy in Off-Street Parking Facilities
Council adopted a policy via resolution to provide free parking for vehicles displaying
ADA placards for the following on-street parking meters and off-street City parking
facilities:
On-street parking meters (in conformance with State law)
Preferential parking zones 1-5 (in conformance with State law)
Main Library Parking Structure
Main Library Parking Surface Lot
Civic Center Parking Structure and Parking Lot (except during capacity events)
Beach Parking Lots (South, Central, and North)
Pier Deck Parking Lot
Parking Structure 10
Main Street Parking Lots (Lots 9, 10, 11, and 26)
Mid-City Parking Lots (Lots 7, 8, and 12)
Downtown Parking Lots (Lots 27, 28, 29, and 30)
Staff recommends adjusting this policy to eliminate free ADA parking for the Main
Library Parking Structure and Parking Structure 10 as these facilities have higher
average peak occupancies than some of the other parking facilities in the overall City
parking portfolio. Additionally, Parking Structure 10 has a total of 81 parking spaces, two
of which are reserved for ADA parking. By charging for ADA parking in these specific
facilities, ADA parking spaces will become more available to residents and visitors by
discouraging long-term transient parking and “storage parking” in these spaces.
This proposed adjustment was discussed with stakeholder representatives of the
Commission for the Senior Community and the Disabilities Commission.
3C – Adjust Rate for Annual Senior Beach Parking Permit
20 of 23
The annual Senior Beach parking permit allows California residents, ages 62 and over,
to park at all Beach parking lots (excluding Pier Deck) during posted time limits of
sunrise to sunset. The annual permit fee is $2.20 and is valid from April 1 to March 31.
There are currently 3,000 permits made available to eligible California residents, with
42% of which are purchased by Santa Monica residents while the remaining 58%
purchased by non-Santa Monica residents.
Below are the current rates for an annual Senior Beach parking permit in the following
neighboring beach cities:
Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbor Senior Parking Permit - $25
Orange County Beach Parking Pass for Seniors and Disabled - $35
Long Beach Day Parking Pass for Seniors - $75
Huntington Beach Senior Parking Pass - $75
Staff recommends adjusting the rates to $25 to align with Los Angeles County Beaches
and Harbor rates (lowest rate amongst the neighboring beach cities). This proposed
pricing change was discussed with stakeholder representatives of the Commission for
the Senior Community and the Disabilities Commission.
Section 4 – Alternative Pricing Strategies for Future Consideration
By way of background, below are some of the commonly used demand-responsive
parking pricing strategies employed by various agencies to ensure availability at all
times in their facilities:
Congestion Pricing – is a demand-side solution of setting prices to reduce parking,
traffic and congestion during high peak occupancy or rush hours. This pricing method is
supposed to encourage users who can be flexible in their usage times to shift their use
away from peak periods to times when it is less expensive. Below are some of the
congestion pricing options:
Time of Day Pricing (“Time Bands”) – set parking rates based on peak parking
demand patterns (i.e. cheaper parking during low-demand morning hours,
21 of 23
increased parking rates during high-demand afternoon hours, and reduce parking
rates for low-demand evening hours)
Day of Week Pricing – sets parking rates based on the different demand patterns
during weekday and weekends
Progressive (“Length of Stay”) Parking Pricing – sets parking rates to facilitate a
desired rate of turnover, maintain rates for desired short-term parking at a lower
rate and then escalate rates with time
Dynamic Pricing – is another demand-side solution that sets pricing based on real-time
changes in the market. This pricing strategy would allow the City to increase rates when
demand is high and lower rates when demand is lower based on real-time occupancies
in each of the facilities. This would require a significant investment in new parking
technologies and systems and each of the various parking and traffic systems would
need to interface with each other in real-time to supply the necessary data to facilitate
this pricing strategy. This strategy is not proposed for Santa Monica parking facilities at
this time.
Section 5 – Annual State of the Citywide Parking Report
Staff recommends that Council direct staff to report annually on the State of Citywide
parking. This report would including the following:
Analysis of parking revenues, including utilization and availability data by
location, day of week, and parking type
Analysis of parking operating and capital expenditures, including progress
reports on capital improvement projects
Operational assessment and services update
Parking asset management update including planned equipment replacement
Emerging parking trends and technologies
Key accomplishments
Various challenges of Citywide parking operations and proposed opportunities for
improvement
22 of 23
Future year parking rate recommendations based on data analytics and Council
adopted parking policies
Progress towards meeting Council strategic goals
Section 6 – Public Outreach and Communication with Boards and Commissions
Staff conducted study sessions with the following Boards and Commissions to ensure
that the needs of the communities represented by the respective commissions were
considered with the proposals included in this staff report:
Commission for the Senior Community – October 2017
Santa Monica Library Board – October 2017
Chamber of Commerce – November 2017
Disabilities Commission – November 2017
Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. – November 2017
Santa Monica Travel and Tourism – January 2018
Official feedback from each body was thoroughly considered and incorporated herein.
Attachment F includes formal responses from the respective bodies. Staff will return to
the Boards and Commissions with additional study sessions to further discuss these
topics and inform these stakeholders of broader parking management strategies.
Recommended Next Steps
Staff recommends the adoption of specific rate changes consistent with Option A to
address Council concerns of traffic congestion, Downtown circulation, parking
availability, and reductions in free parking. However, based on comments, feedback,
and discussion at this study session, staff will return to Council at the March 27, 2018
Council meeting with specific rate proposals and enabling ordinances and resolutions.

Year-Over-Year Parking Analytics
In FY 2015-16, there were 7.6 million total (transient and permit) parking transactions in
the Downtown core and peripheral facilities discussed in this staff report. In FY 2016-17,
there were 7.1 million transactions, resulting in a -0.5 million, or -7% reduction when
compared to the prior year. The data included in this attachment shows that the rate
increase, in conjunction with increased popularity of Transportation Network Companies
(“TNC”) and the increased demand in Expo Light Rail ridership had a direct impact on
parking behavior in the City, particularly successful in achieving the following goals:
•Reducing total parking sessions in these Downtown core facilities
•Discouraging park and ride activity in the Downtown core facilities
•Reducing high weekday peak occupancies in most of the Downtown parking
facilities
•Freeing up parking for short-term parking for residents and Downtown visitors
•Encouraging parkers to utilize less expensive parking facilities on the periphery
of the Downtown core, or consider shifting to alternative modes of transportation
While this multi-pronged strategy was successful in better managing the overall parking
demand and balancing the various needs of the community, the impact on the
occupancies of each individual facility within the portfolio varied. A detailed analysis
including transactions, occupancies, and parking durations for each of the Downtown
parking facilities is included below.
*Please note that there may be nominal variances in the grand total number of Parking Durations Report
versus grand total number of Parking Transactions for each parking facility throughout this report due to
rounding. Based on the total transactions for each facility, staff deemed these variances non-material to
the overall reporting and operations.
**Parking space inventory numbers reflect a space count conducted by staff in December 2017.

Expo Light Rail Ridership Statistics
Staff downloaded Expo Light Rail estimated ridership statistics from the Metro website -
http://isotp.metro.net/MetroRidership/Index.aspx. Below is a graph of the monthly estimated
ridership amounts from July 2015 to December 2017.
Weekday and weekend Expo Light Rail ridership was relatively stable between July 2015 and
April 2016. There was a significant increase in ridership beginning in May 2016 that can be
attributed to the Expo Line extension to Downtown Santa Monica. The Downtown Santa Monica
terminus is located at 4th Street and Colorado Avenue, which is one block from Third Street
Promenade, one block from Santa Monica Place, and half a mile from the Beach.
The Expo Light Rail realized an increase in ridership, particularly during the week, when it
began the six-minute headway service in March 2017. The City’s Traffic Management Division
also implemented a signal priority protocol for Expo trains around this time, giving the rail “the
green light” versus surrounding traffic. Expo now has a significant time and frequency
advantage it did not have prior to March 2017.

To City Council:
As both President/CEO of Santa Monica Travel & Tourism and a Santa Monica
resident, I am pleased to write this letter to express my confidence in Henry Servín
and the City of Santa Monica Traffic and Parking team.
At Santa Monica Travel & Tourism it is our mission to increase visitor expenditures,
tourism revenues and local employment opportunities through the promotion of
Santa Monica as a travel destination. Additionally, Santa Monica Travel & Tourism
also provides five visitor center locations (includes 1 mobile vehicle) with friendly,
trained and knowledgeable travel counselors who are trained to help visitors
experience the best our destination has to offer by providing services such as
Visitors Guides and Maps, a free ride shuttle, a foreign language line and
information on attractions, hotels, dining, museums, galleries and entertainment
throughout the entire city.
As can be expected, parking plays an integral role in the satisfactory experience
of visitors to our destination. To this end, we rely heavily on the city parking team
to meet our visitor’s needs. Throughout the years it has been great to have a team
in the city who is able to analyze large data, disseminate it to the stakeholders,
and genuinely consider their feedback before making changes to pricing and
operational procedures – factors that have a large impact for our visitors. The
parking operations team has been responsive to our needs and the current staff
report provided is consistent with our requests.
I’ve been with Santa Monica Travel & Tourism for the past 21 years and have
observed first-hand the operational improvements that have occurred in
partnership with the city’s parking team and merchants on Main Street, where our
office is located. A good example of this is the initiative for free overnight parking
on Main Street that we collectively worked on.
Through my conversations with various businesses around the city, I have come
to believe that pricing changes based on historical data and previous rate changes
have a positive impact on tourism. We support the changes proposed by the city
parking team including the gradual reduction of free grace period parking
throughout the city because the team has demonstrated how it will increase

parking availability and ensure that there is always a parking space available for
resident and visitors. Santa Monica Travel & Tourism supports the proposal for the
city to use any net incremental revenues to reinvest in additional traffic and parking
programs that will benefit the community as a whole.
I look forward to continuing to work with the city parking team and remain at your
disposal should you need more information on how the team has benefited Santa
Monica Travel & Tourism’s mission.
I appreciate your consideration.
Thank you,
Misti Kerns CMP CDME

Re: Item 4A
Downtown Parking Management Pricing Strategies Study Session
The NOMA Board requests that the Council not eliminate the 90 Min free parking in the downtown. As residents we regularly use the
parking lots for the Santa Monica Farmers Market, attending movies, eating at the many restaurants and shopping. There is no public
transportation from our neighborhood to the downtown and the elimination of the 90 minutes will deter further use of the downtown.
Thank you for your consideration of the needs of the residents of the City.

The notion of restricting the time of free downtown parking is wrongheaded. It will severely impair enjoying the stores and restaurants

Good Morning,
I work for Community Corporation of Santa Monica and I have many resident and applicants that come to the office.
Is very convenient for them and us to have the 90 minutes of free parking because a lot of this people are low income and can’t
afford the extra expense.
I beg you not to take the 90 minutes of the free parking.
Thank you

Subject: 90 minute free parking
To City Council:
Please retain the 90 minute free parking in the downtown public garages.
I have been leading walking tours of DTSM for 10 years and
the parking situation downtown often becomes an issue with
the people who join our tours.
The free 90 minutes is an incentive for tour goers to use the
public lots.
Often I have to reassure people that there are reasonable
parking options in Santa Monica. This particular tour
welcomes people from all over the United States and a
significant number from overseas. The Santa Monica
story we tell is full of historical, cultural and
architectural detail that reveals the

Dear members of the Santa Monica city council,
I just learned that the current parking policy allowing 90 minutes of free parking in the garages of downtown
Santa Monica may be changed.
I am opposed to eliminating the 90-minute free parking. Santa Monica is my destination for shopping, movie
going, and restaurants because of the favorable parking policy. The cost of parking most definitely influences
my choice regarding where to shop and recreate.
I would like to continue supporting Santa Monica businesses as I have in the past. I do hope you will decide to
keep the current policy with the 90-minute free parking as it gives me an incentive to spend my time and
money in Santa Monica.
Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to voice my opinion.
Sincerely,

Subject: Save the 90 Minute Free Parking
More and more downtown Santa Monica is all for the tourists and not for residents.
Taking away the 90 minute free parking is just another way to squeeze more out of these tourists at the expense of the
people who live here. We're regulars at the shops and restaurants in the downtown area. Parking while we catch a movie
or stroll the Promenade is one of the perks we enjoy as residents.
This is our town. Save the parking and save Santa Monica for the residents that support you in so many ways.

Please do change the 90 minute free parking status at City lots in downtown Santa Monica. This has been a

City Council,
As a business owner and resident of Santa Monica for over thirty‐five years, the changes in cars, parking and traffic is
nearly unbelievable. Not for the better, for any of us.
Coming into Santa Monica either by foot, bicycle or auto is a horrible experience and any excuse to avoid the trip wins.
The one carrot is the hope of the ninety minute free parking. Take this away and no horse or person willing to make the
drive will come. There are many more options now available East of us and taking away this one reprieve to the
nightmare of driving into Santa Monica will be the nail in the coffin.
You’re pushing it, people.

Gentlemen:
I am the property manager of the historic building at 4th and Broadway in Santa Monica. The building has no
parking of its own (the lot next door, originally parking for our building, was taken by the City for the building
of the Ken Edwards Center). We have approximately 40 tenants who depend on free 90 minute parking for
the livelihood of their business—retail sales, office meetings, etc. Removing the 90 minutes of free parking
would be a significant imposition and tax on our tenants.

I would like to voice my opposition to the proposed change to DT parking which would eliminate the 90 minute free
parking.
I am a long time (over 20 years) Santa Monica resident and I often need to run a quick errand in DT. Having the free
parking in the structures allows me to do , supporting this businesses rather than ordering online.
I am also a manager of a retail store downtown & this will effect the number of local customers that will come in. We
already have vacancies around us, this change in parking policies will further decrease our regular customer base.
This seems like another case of the concerns/best interest of the residents of Santa Monica are not being considered.
The city is more concerned about visitors to the city.
Thank you

Subject: Downtown SM Parking
Dear City Council Members,
Please do not eliminate the free 90 minutes in the downtown parking lots. Parking downtown is already costly.
I spend a great deal of time downtown, mainly attending meetings (unpaid as a volunteer), dining and shopping.
It is not possible for me to take public transportation 95% of my time, nor is it possible for me to cycle and or
use Lyft with my downtown needs.
It is already challenging for folks who are seniors and/or fixed incomes to shop and enjoy our business districts
due to the parking costs. It's another example of the elitism growing in our community and pricing out a diverse
market for downtown. Parking and traffic are reasons folks shop in neighboring areas.
Thank you for your support.

Hi Santa Monica Council,
I am writing to express my grave concern over your plan to eliminate the 90 minutes of free parking allotted to
cars parked at public lots. Without those 90 minutes of free parking it would be almost unaffordable for me to
do my errands and park while I am at work. I make minimum wage and this proposed parking scheme is
effectively a poor tax.
Please do not make any changes. It is already hard enough to find affordable parking with so many blocks
designed as permit parking.
Many thanks,

Subject: PLEASE! don't eliminate the 90 minute free parking
Hello, dear council members:
The 90 minute free parking is major attraction for customers, shoppers, residents here in Santa Monica! Many of the
25,000 to 35,000 audience members that come to the Playhouse each year specifically ask about parking when they
make their reservations (and you know that community members who come to an arts event spend many more dollars
on restaurants and shopping) – the 90 minute free parking is a major perk. Parents who bring their children to our
workshops would be devastated having to pay two times in one day just to bring and pick up their children.
When we first heard that there was going to be a meeting tomorrow night about the parking rates, we thought to
ourselves, “Finally! They realize that the parking charges are exorbitant and are planning to lower the prices.” When we
heard just now that you are considering eliminating the free parking all together, our jaws just dropped. That 90 minute
free parking has been an absolute godsend not only to our staff, our actors, our crew, and our audiences, but to anyone
and everyone we have spoken to about Santa Monica.
“Affordable and accessible” are bywords that have been part of our mission statement since we opened our doors in
1960 – and from what I know of the city, all of you are doing your best to keep the arts, and indeed, all the activities and
businesses in Santa Monica, “affordable and accessible” to the myriad visitors you are courting.
With rents skyrocketing in the downtown area, and businesses closing right and left (we counted 9 or 10 empty
storefronts in just the 1200 and 1300 block alone) we need to be doing all we can to encourage customers to come, not
do more things to push them away.
If you are trying to keep people from parking in the downtown area to minimize traffic flow, we understand. But we just
don’t think this is the way to do it.
PLEASE don’t eliminate the 90 minute free parking. Please!

To whom it may concern,
I am in support of saving the free 90 minute parking in downtown. Our business is serving families of low to moderate income.
There are times they need to come into our office to sign important documents to keep their rent at an affordable rate. Although these
families have affordable rent, some live pay check to pay check. Taking away the free 90 minute parking could cause a monetary
burden for these families and individuals. This creates a snow ball effect of problems. The less burden and stress we cause upon them,
the more successful their living situations become. Please reconsider saving the 90 free parking.

Subject: downtown visitors 90 minutes free parking
Hello Council members.
I understand the issue of continuing to offer downtown visitors 90 minutes free parking is under
review and potential change/elimination.
I strongly urge you to study the financial effects along with the psychological effects on all patrons to
the downtown area, if one has not been completed already; and then share such a study with property
owners like myself before effecting any change.
But without such a study, I believe the sales tax revenue amounts are directly tied to the short term
free parking as an incentive for patrons to visit, shop and play in our community. There are many
elements competing with brick and mortar retail, and obviously, if making the experience less
enticing, we all are going to lose business and government revenue.

Subject: Downtown Parking
Santa Monica's downtown is facing challenging times from a retail leasing standpoint. There are many vacancies and more
coming. We have been working to reposition the building at 1201 3rd that was occupied by Barnes and Noble. There has
apparently been very little interest in the ground floor space.
Making parking in the area less attractive to residents at this point would be a step in the wrong direction.

Hi there,
My name is Safia -- I live in Santa Monica and I work in downtown Santa Monica at MomentFeed Inc. I
strongly support free parking downtown for the first 90 minutes. Over the weekend, I love to come downtown
and do some shopping, or go to an exercise class, or have brunch with my friends. If there was no free parking,
I'd probably prefer the Montana St corridor or Venice to hang out.
Best,
Safia

Dear Council Members,
I hope you are all well and I thank you for your fine service to our City.
I am opposed to the elimination of the 90 mins free parking for our downtown parking structures. As a 20 year resident
of Santa Monica who really does his best to support Buy Local and support our community schools, I rely on the free 90
minutes to run in and out of downtown shops.
Please do not eliminate the 90 mins free parking. If you must out of necessity, please consider a way to allow residents
of Santa Monica to maintain the free 90 minutes.
Again, I thank you for your service and send my best,
Richard Tahvildaran Jesswein

I do not think shortening free parking will be well received by the limited amount of locals who use the promenade The
sales tax revenue will in all probability be reduced The city needs to do something positive to try and reinvigorate 3rd St

Dear Members of the City Council,
I would like to express our support for keeping the 90‐minute free parking policy in downtown Santa Monica. This policy
promotes a more welcoming, equitable, user friendly downtown and sets Santa Monica apart from other westside cities
who have little to no free parking opportunities. This is an attractive quality for local Santa Monica businesses to offer its
clients. For Community Corporation specifically, our office is in downtown, and low‐income households can park and
visit without the burden of paying for parking. Please do not abolish this free 90‐minute parking policy.
Respectfully,

Subject: Request for consideration: 90 minutes free parking in downtown
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to urge you to preserve the 90 minutes free parking in downtown. I am responsible for
two buildings in the area which were developed by my late father, Edward Wenner.
My dad was instrumental in the creation of the Third Street Promenade. He worked with the City
Council members and the Mayor to bring about this thriving district and source of revenue for the
City of Santa Monica.
He always envisioned a place where families could come and enjoy themselves in our unique
environment. I believe it is essential to this vision to provide easy access for the general
public. Without the free parking for an hour and a half, we will lose so much goodwill, and our very
special area will become a place that excludes those who have to watch their budget.
One of the great things about downtown Santa Monica, that distinguishes it from the tony
commercial districts throughout Los Angeles area, is that it is warm, friendly and lovely without being
"EXCLUSIVE".
Please preserve the 90 minutes free parking in downtown.
Thank you so very much for your kind consideration of this matter and my request.

Warmest wishes,
Merlyn W. Ruddell

Subject: Please keep the 90 minutes free parking.
To the council and whom it may concern,
Santa Monica Promenade area is already difficult to navigate with the one way traffic entering and leaving the parking
structures, the bike lanes and then the general traffic to and from the freeway to get here.
As a person who work everyday in Santa Monica and use the parking structure and sometime have to work on
weekends, the 90 mins free is a huge help.
Since my employer only pays for 5 day a week parking (7 am‐ 7pm) the 90 mins help when I have to work late or return
to the building for emergencies.
To do away with the 90 mins would hurt all of the businesses in the area. Parking is already expensive so any grace
period would be a help in making personal and business transactions easier.

City council members,
Please do not eliminate or reduce the 90 minutes of free parking in the public structures. It is nearly impossible to go
downtown and complete anything but a quick trip without going over the 90 minutes especially after all the time finding
a spot and then exiting the structure. Even more so with children.
Several years ago the free parking was reduced from 2 hours but any additional reduction would be a hardship for
residents and small businesses with clients that visit for as little as one hour.
Please leave the 90 minute free parking unchanged.
Thank you,

From: Nancy Morse
Subject: Item 4A 3/16/18: Downtown Parking
SMC Emeritus should be a stakeholder in any discussion concerning parking rate changes in the downtown parking
structures, especially structure #2, as the college is located adjacent to that structure.
Classes there are usually 2 hours in length and students attending the classes make up a large portion of those using
weekday parking. Changes in the hourly rate and in the handicap parking will affect these students which is an Elder
population.
Please speak with Dean Silverman at Emeritus.
When I heard the 2009 Walker Parking Study presented to the Commission for the Senior Community, the commission
members made no mention of Emeritus. I doubt they did in the presentation for this current recommendation as
Emeritus is not a city program.
The three times I heard presentations of the 2009 Walker Parking Study the city staff presenter stated the study noted a
high two hour turnover and attributed it to employees moving their cars. I submit that especially in structure #2 it is due
to Emeritus students attending two hour classes.
As I haven’t paid attention to council agendas, I was unaware of this agenda item until I saw a notice of it in the parking
structure when I was there to attend an Emeritus class. Dean Silverman was in meetings most of today.
Please do not ignore the impact of changes on this Elder and vital population.

Nancy M. Morse

Brief Introduction to Smarking
Help the City of Santa Monica leverage existing parking data to:
•Increase insight into parking dynamics
•Inform parking policy decisions with data
•Track and measure impact of decisions in real time
Smarking’s Work with Santa Monica
Focused on the 7,000 off-street garage spaces
with varying demand and occupancy levels:
•11 parking structures in Downtown and
Third St Promenade
•2 garages around the Civic Center
•1 structure located at the Library
Demand and Occupancy Patterns:
•PS 1 and PS 3 –high occupancy
•PS 2, PS4-10 –middle levels of demand,
higher on weekends than on weekdays
•KEC, Civic Structure, Civic Lot, Library –
high occupancy on weekdays, lower
occupancy on weekends

Year over Year Occupancy Change –PS 3
Parking demand at PS 3 was largely unaffected by the modest rate change in 2016
5
Year over Year Occupancy Change –Library Garage
Unchanged rates at the Library caused parking demand to increase 6% overall
with a 24% increase in the number of transient parkers
6
Proposed Parking Management Strategies
•Use shorter pricing periods, ensuring minimal impact on short-term parking
sessions, &progressively increase incremental parking rates for successive time
periods
•Set monthly parking permit fees to 11x transient weekday daily maximum rate
•Re-invest incremental revenues back into Parking, Access, Circulation
•Extend pilot Downtown employee discount validation parking program for 1 year
•Reduce free parking in Downtown core facilities, from 90 min to 60 min.
•Reduce free parking in non-Downtown core facilities from 90 min to 30 min.
•Consider implementing a “Resident’s Loyalty Program’ with Merchants
7
Suggested Options for Your Consideration
•Option A: Achieve 15% Availability at all facilities at all times
•Raise session rates highest in PS 1 & PS 3
•Raise session rates moderately in PS 2 & PS 4-8, and Main Library
•Slightly lower rates in KEC, PS9 & PS 10, and
•Leave Civic Lot and Structure rates the same pending Walker Civic Center area study
•Lower the parking subsidy from 90 minutes to 60 minutes in Downtown
•Option B: Achieve 10~11% Availability
•Similar to Option A but with lower overall session rates
•Option C: Select amongst A and/or B, no reduced parking subsidy at this time.

Traffic and Parking Management

Investment of Net Parking Revenues
•About $20 million net incremental net parking revenues
since 2009-10 base year
•Net revenues have been used to offset cost of:
•Mobility and Parking CIP Projects –Elevators, Parking Equip.
•Roadway and Transportation CIP Projects
•Street, Traffic Signall, and Parking CIP Projects
17
Lessons Learned from FY 16-17 Rate Change?
•Nominal rate increases (e.g. +25% Downtown) can result in modest
declines in high peak occupancy, slightly increasing availability and
reducing congestion depending on the day of the week
•Assertive rate increases (e.g. +180% Civic Center) can result in
significant declines in high peak occupancy and congestion
•Higher demand facilities (e.g. PS 1 & 3) are less sensitive to rate
changes than lower demand facilities
•Different rate strategies between garages can be employed to
distribute parking demand across all facilities

Back up slides for anticipated questions
•Why change the free parking grace period?
-Continue supporting the goals of ensuring parking availability and improving parking resources
utilization as identified in the 2009 Walker Parking Study, LUCE, and the 2012 adopted Resolution-Free up spaces for visitors and customers closest to destinations; reduce the number of
employees who drive in and out of the structures in order to get free parking; reduce the revenue
loss that results from people driving-Staff estimates grace period will have positive impact on resident experience, visitor experience
and business activity (based on sales tax collections data)
•How was data collected and aggregated?
-Deployed a parking data analytics software to collect and aggregate transaction level data from
various revenue systems; the data is stored in a secure environment that meets with Santa
Monica ISD requirements-Enables consistent impact tracking and measurement to inform future policy changes
City of Santa Monica Parking Management Goals
1.Make parking in Downtown Santa Monica easy to find
2.Reduce “Circling” &Greenhouse Gas Emissions
3.Ensure easier access to all Commercial Corridors
4.Provide reliable & abundant data surrounding parking
prices and availability in Santa Monica
5.Build on the storied success of effective parking
management through pricing in Downtown
Why Do We Manage Parking?
–To Support & Achieve City Goals
•Promote a healthy, sustainable and
thriving downtown
•Develop an integrated transportation
program designed to reduce
peak-period vehicle trips
-DCP
•Create a more sustainable
community by making use of more
efficient modes of transportation,
walking, biking, transit,& carpooling
–more attractive

A Brief History of Time:
Parking Management in Santa Monica
•1970’s: Santa Monica pioneered the “park once &walk”
strategy –A bold strategy at the time
•1990’s: Centralized parking locations made it easy for
residents &visitors to park, leave their cars behind, and
walk to multiple locations and activities
•2010’s: However, abundance of low-cost parking made
the car “king” -causing congestion, GGE and limiting
public transit use –Its time to correct course
