ITEM EXPLANATION This item is an amendment of the zoning ordinance revising the parking requirements for professional office uses. This item considered by the City Council earlier this year and, at that time, the Council established a committee to provide a recommendation for parking requirements in the Redevelopment Area. The committee was made up of 2 members each of the Planning Commission and Redevelopment AdvisQry Committee, The committe felt it was best to make a distinction between the Redevelopme Area and the rest of the city. The committee recommends the following: 1) Professional offices in the Redevelopment Area and areas within 300 feet of its boundary - 1 parking space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 2) Professional offices throughout the city, except the Redevelopment.Area - 1 parking space for each 300 square ft of gross floor area. 3) Financial institutes throughout the city, including the Redevelopment Area - 1 space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. 4) Allow consideration of 25% of a11 required parking as compc car spaces, Both the Planning Commission and staff believe these rec- ommendations to be fair and reasonable. Through staff review and Planning Commission hearing, all issue on this matter have been satisfactorily resolved. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that this project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration, dated April 28, 1982, which was approved by the Planning Commission on December 22, 1982. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the Land Use Planning Office. 0 e Page 2 of Agenda Bill # 72 6 f FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this request will not cause any fiscal impacts to city.

I. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2065 recommending APPROVAL of ZCA-145 to the City Council based on the findings contained therein. " " 11. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION This amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would increase the arnount of parking required for office uses. The oxdinance presently requires one parking space for each 400 square feet of floor area. This amendment was previously considered and acted on by the Planning Commission at its meeting of April 28, 1982. When the item was considered by the City Council, several persons spoke in opposition to the amendment especially as it related to the Redevelopment Area, The Council referred the matter back to staff for additional study with the direction to form a subcommittee composed of members from the Planning Commission anc " the Redevelopment Advisory Comnittee to make a recornmendation on - ; the item. Two members fron each group served on the subcommittef 2": which held several meetings. The subcommittee's recommendation was as follows: 1) Rstain thepresent standard (1 space/400 square feet of floor area) for offices in the Redevelopment Area except banks 2) Allow the present standard to also apply to properties located within 300 feet of the redevelopment area. 3) Allow compact car spaces (25%) to be considered in all areas of the city, Presently, the consideration of compact space: is only permitted in the Redevelopment Area and the P-M zone , The subcommittee's recommendation was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Redevelopment Advisory Commit.tee at its meeting of.Septernber 27, 1982. Since that time, staff has talked to several commercial/office brokers and developers and staff now believes that the original proposal recommending one space for each 250 square Eeet of floor area is appropriate for banks but 0 e other office uses outside the Redevelopment Area, a ratio of ont space for each 300 square feet is more acceptable and workable. One item recommended by the subcommittee which the Planning Commission may wish to discuss is allowing the same standard applied to the Redevelopment Area to apply.to properties locatei within 300 feet of the Area. It was the subcommittee's feeling that the properties immediately surrounding the Redevelopment Area had the same characteristics (lot size, existing develop- ment, etc.) as those within the Area. Although it is somewhat unusual to have a special provision like this applied to one small area of the city and it may be awkward to administer, it j possible to include it. The' proposed amendment has been wcrded to reflect this reconmendation of the subcommittee. In summary, the proposed amendment recGmmends the following park in9 requirements: 1) Banks and financial institations - one space for each 250 - square feet of gross floor area, 2) All other professional office uses - one space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area. 3) Professional offices, except banks, in the Village Redevelopment (V-R) Zone and within a 300-foot radius - one space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. 4) Up to 25 percent compact spaces may be allowed. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Conmission approved a Negative Declaration €or this nificant impact on the environment.

X. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND This Zone Code 'Amendment would change the parking requirements for banks, business and professional offices frorn one parking space for every four hundred square feet of gross floor area tl one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor are Last year the Planning Commission directed staff to find out tl average a.~nount of parking required for office uses by other cities in San. Diego County. Some of the Commissioners felt th. Carlsbad's requirements for office parking were inadequate. 31 c DISCUSSION During the summer of '1981, staff made a. survey of other cities within Sal? Di~go County to determine their parking requirement! for banks, business and professional offices, This survey revealed that Carlsbad had the lowest parking requirements for. bank and office uses in Sai? Diego County. The parking require. ments for bank and oEfice uses in San Diego County varied frorn one space for every 180 squ.are feet to one space for every 400 square feet, ln November of '1981 , Carlsbad participated in the city of Glendale's parking questionnaire, the results of which were se1 tu Carlsbad in December 198.1. The results of this guestionnail showed that: most cities requ5re one parking space for every 250-300 square feet of gross floor area for office uses. Over 3/4 of the cities responding had higher-parking requirements fc Field observations and practical experience also leads staff tc believe that the city's existing 1/400 ratio is inadequate to provide sufficient parking for both employees and customers of most office uses. Often, developers. o€ office projects volun- tarily provide parking at a ratio of 1/250 or 1/300 because experience has sI~own them that 1/400 is inadequate for most: off ice uses.
