ITEM EXPLANATION On October 17, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted Resolut of Intention No. 184, allowing staff to reevaluate the park requirements for libraries. Preliminary research had indica that the current standard of one space per one hundred fifty square feet of gross floor area (1:150) unrealistically restrictive. On December 5, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted Planr Commission Resolution Nos. 3167 and 3168, recommending that parking standard for libraries be changed to one space per hundred square feet of gross floor area (1:200). This stanc was arrived at for the following reasons: 1. The original standard of 1:150 was not based upon studies of library parking or surveys of ot jurisdictions. 2. Staff’s recent surveys of jurisdictions in the Wesl United States indicated library parking standards betL 1:200 and 1:600. 3. A periodical search revealed a survey of over libraries throughout the United States by a promii library consultant. His recommendations of parl standards were from 1:200 and 1:222. 4. The City’s library consultant, David Smith, noted 1 only one jurisdiction in the country had a library parl standard less than 1:200. He usually recommends parl between 1:200 and 1:335. Given the above, both the Planning Commission and staff recommending a library parking standard of 1:200. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director determined that this administra action had no environmental impacts since all subseq library projects will undergo individual environmental re and, as such, the Planning Commission has recommended appr of the Negative Declaration issued on October 25, 1990. e e ?* r> PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. /<, pyo FISCAL IMPACT This Zone Code Amendment will have no immediate fiscal impac to the City of Carlsbad. The amount of parking required by t municipal code for future City libraries would be reduced this revision which could result in reduced costs in providj required parking. EXHIBITS 1.

Preliminary research has indicated that the current standai restrictive. The new standard would consequently relax the present ratio of one space per one 1 and fifty square feet of library space to perhaps one space per two-hundred or two-hundred ' square feet. Since this zone code amendment deals with only a parking development standarl subsequent library development projects will receive an individual, site-specific environmenta no environmental impacts are anticipated. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 1 - 4. Since no site-specific project is proposed with this zone code amendments, I: changes in topography that would result in unstable earth conditions, erosion t soils, or alteration of deposition patterns will occur. No geological impacts WI result from this proposal. 5 - 8. As this project is completely administrative and proposes no specific si development, no affects to air quality or climatological indices are expected. Eac library project that will be subject to the new parking standards will undergo si specific environmental review that will evaluate potential impacts to watercours and the quantity and quality of various water sources. This zone code amendment does not involve any development project and, therefoi will not deplete any natural resources or other forms of energy. Only a site specific environmental review for a particular library development cot' identify the existence of a significant archeological, paleontological or historit structure or object on site. This administrative, non-project specific zone cc amendment, therefore, has no historical impacts. c 9 - 10. 11. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT 12 - 16. Because this zone code amendment proposes no actual development, and beca. each library development will be reviewed for possible biologically-related imp; no impacts to the diversity of flora and fauna condition of ecosystems, agricultural areas and farmlands are anticipated. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT 17. This amendment to the zoning code does not affect any land use issues. It me- alters the parking requirement for a specific land use. The reduction in parking required for library developments will not, in and of it: affect the supply or demand for any public utilities or services. 18 - 19. -6- 0 0 .< f, 20 - 22. Since no site-specific development is associated with this zone code amendment, no site related nuisances such as excessive noise, light and glare, release of hazardous substances, and explosion will occur. As this zone code amendment deals only with the parking standards for libraries, ne impacts to either the density of human population or the housing supply are expected. 23-24. 25. See #17 below. 26. The new parking standard recommended for the zoning code will be a product o research into the parking needs of libraries and current library parking situations As such, this zone code amendment should not create a demand for new parking a the parking required by the zoning code will be sufficient. The only existing librar parking lot within the City may be brought into conformance by this zone cod amendment . Since this amendment proposal does not propose site specific development, n impacts to existing transportation systems or waterborne, rail, or air traffic wj occur. The possibility of a specific library project producing traffic hazards ( interfering with emergency circulation plans will be evaluated on a project-by-proje basis. As this zone code amendment involves no physical development, no obstruction 1 scenic vistas or diminishing of existing recreational opportunities are anticipated See #11 and #12 above. Since the project does not propose any site specific development and, as shov above, it does not affect any geological, biological, or cultural resources, neitl long-term nor cumulative negative environmental impacts will result from tl action. 27 - 30. c 31 - 32. 33. 34 - 36. -7- 0 0 r, ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative.

RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commksion Resolution No. 3 recommending APPROVAL of the Negative Declaration, and ADOPT Planning Commisi Resolution No. 3168 recommending APPROVAL, of ZCA 90-1, based upon the findings subject to the conditions contained therein. 11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND In October, 1956, the City Council adopted the Zoning Ordinance of the City (Ordini No. 9060) which included parking standards for various uses. The parking required f library use at that time was one space per two hundred and fifty syuare feet of gross f area (1:250) with the requirement for library substations being set a one space per hundred square feet (1:SOO). This standard remained in effect until May of 1986 t numerous revisions to the parking requirements (Chapter 21.44 of the Carlsbad Muni Code) were adopted through Ordinance No. 9804. The library parking standard adjusted to one space per one hundred and fifty square feet (1:150), while the lil substation was changed to one space per two hundred fifty square feet (1:250), whj the current status. Upon researching the 1986 Zone Code Amendment (ZCA 187) to parking standar became evident that no surveys or parking studies were conducted to arrive at the cu library standards. Rather the adjusted parking standard was formulated after evalu of parking at the main library. The 24,600 square foot library (constructed in 1966: originally parked at a ratio of 1:432. In October, 1985, the main library parking lo expanded to 99 spaces with a corresponding ratio of 1:250. Although this mc Ordinance requirements, parking demand still exceeded parking supply. The fact tb library was in conjunction with the Civic Center could have added to the demands sc at the time that recommendations were being formulated for Ordinance No. 98 appeared that the existing standard of 1:2SO for library parking was insufficient. library substation parking standard was also changed in 1986 to be proportionate 1 newly proposed main library standard. After preliminary research, staff recommended a reevaluation of the library park Resolution of Intention (ROI 184) presented to the Planning Commission on Octob 1990. This Zone Code Amendment is based upon the analysis of parking at s - LfBRARY PARKDNG STANDARDS BYJURISDICTION CITY SPACES PER SQUARE FE 1 :300 Chula Vista, CA Corona, CA 1:250 Cowallis, OR 1:600 El Sequndo, CA 1:300 Everett, WA 1:430 Fremont, CA 1:230 Glendale, AZ 1:440 Glendale, CA 1:300 Lacey, WA 1:265 Oceanside, CA 1 :300 Orange, CA 1:250 San Juan Capistrano, CA 1:350 Thousand Oaks, CA 1 :290 % e '< '6 ZCA 90-1 - LIBRARY P NG STANDARDS DECEMBER 5, 1990 PAGE 3 As evidenced above, most jurisdictions have arrived at a standard between 1:2: and 1:300. This range was collaborated by a prominent library consultant, Hc Galvin, in his article in the Librarv Journal, November 15, 1978 entitled "Put Library Parking Needs". After sampling over one hundred libraries ranging in s from 2,600 square feet to 105,000 square feet, Galvin concluded that a park requirement of between 1:200 and 1222 met all parking needs and was adequate library parking standard. While it is valuable to sample as many jurisdictions and specific projects as possiF a consideration of the specific needs of the City of Carlsbad must be made. r current main library is part of a larger civic center and the new South Carlsl Library is proposed to include an auditorium and art gallery. Both libraries arc mixed use developments and, therefore, similar multi-use library projects musl sampled for an effective comparison. Listed below are several mixed use libr projects and their corresponding parking standards. Las Vegas Central Library (with Children's Museum), Las Vegas, NV. Total square footage - - 105,000 1:350 - Parking standard - c Southdale Area Library (with government offices), Henneph County, MN. Total square footage = 95,000 1:200 - Parking standard - City of Chula Vista Library (with auditorium), Chula Vista, CA. Total square footage = 64,000 1:200 - Parking standard - City of Escondido Library (with bookstore and meeting rooms), Escondido, CA Total square footage = 45,000 1:250 - Parking standard - City of San Bernardino Library (with auditorium/art gallery), San Bernardino Total square footage = 64,000 Parking standard - - 1:300 Considering all of the above references, a logical parking standard for librarj mixed use projects would be between 1:200 and 1:350. Given the fact Carlsbad libraries are of superior quality and often draw visitors from outsid City, the more restrictive ratio of 1:200 seems reasonable. Although this ra more lenient than the current standard of 1:1SO, it is consistent with compe library projects and is substantiated by experts in the field. %I 0 ., 4% ZCA 90-1 - LIBRARY P NG STANDARDS DECEMBER 5,1990 PAGE 4 2. Necessity of Distinction During staff's surveys of the various jurisdictions mentioned above, it becz evident that Carlsbad is the only City that differentiates between libraries ; library substations for parking standards. Since the functions and programs wit a main library and a branch library are very similar, it does not seem practica distinguish between the two. The Library Director has informed staff that neit the current La Costa Branch Library, nor any other branch library, will be necess once the new South Carlsbad Library has opened. It therefore does not seem lor to maintain a separate parking standard for branch libraries (library substatic and, as such, staff is recommending that this parking standard be removed from Ordinance. Consistencv with the General Plan The Land Use Element of the General Plan calls for development to be designed constructed with sufficient off-street parking and loading facilities. Based upor comparables detailed above, the proposed parking ratio of 1:200 is consistent this provision. The Circulation Element states that "joint public-private effor improve parking and circulation conditions in eltisting dev'eloped areas shod encouraged." While the proposed parking ratio is less restrictive than the CUI standard of 1:150, it would still require an additional 25 spaces at the existing 1 library for conformance. On occasion, the parking lot at the main library forcing an on-street parking demand. Based upon the above data, the pro€ parking standard would provide for sufficient parking supply if the library pa! lot were brought into conformance thus alleviating this parking overflow. This Code Amendment is, therefore, consistent with the Circulation Element o General Plan. 3. Summary Staff has polled many jurisdictions as to the required and/or actual parking amoun many library projects. In addition, a periodical search produced another library pa poll conducted by a library consultant. Both of these surveys have indicated that a pa standard of one space per two hundred square feet is restrictive enough to adeqi accommodate library parking demands. It has also been shown that a zone amendment to relax the library parking requirements is consistent with the General Given the above, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the att resolutions thereby recommending approval of ZCA 90-1 to the City Council. e e *‘a, ZCA 90-1 - LIBRARY PARKING STANDARDS DECEMBER 5, 1990 PAGE 5 rv.

When the existing drain is cleaned out, it should take care of the immediate problem. Commissioner McFadden inquired when the area will get street improvements. Mr. Wojcik replied that there is nothing on the CIP for that street. At the present time, the two options available for street improvements would be (1) the existing neighborhood or (2) new developers. street improvements must wait for CIP funds. Commissioner Holmes stated that he doesn't believe this building will win an architectural beauty award but it does meet all of the ordinances. the metal roof but he can accept that fact that it will provide a variety to the area. Commissioner Schlehuber stated that he is not excited about the metal roof but since the project meets all of the ordinances, he will probably vote in favor of it. Commissioner Marcus stated that this is an interesting design Otherwise, He does not particularly like < , and she can support it. Commissioner McFadden agrees. Commissioner Erwin stated that he will be voting against the project because he feels there is a safety issue with the chimney. Chairman Schramm can accept the project.

Michael Grim, Assistant Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that ZCA 90-1 is a City request to adjust the parking standard for libraries and to delete a separate parking requirement for branch libraries. current requirement for libraries is one space for 150 s.f. of gross floor area (1:150) which was adopted in May 1986. Prior to this date, the requirement was 1:250. Upon researching the ZCA regarding library parking standards, it became evident,that no surveys or parking studies were conducted to arrive at the current standard adopted in 1986. Rather, the adjusted parking standard for libraries was formulated after an evaluation of parking at the main library. 1:250, however parking demand at that time still exceeded supply. the Civic Center could have added to the demands so it The In 1986, the main library was parked at a ratio of The fact that the library was in conjunction with MINUTE 3 0 ,&A*> y COMMISSIONERS December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 5 appeared that the existing standard of 1:250 for library parking was insufficient. A review of 13 jurisdictions identified the most restrictive parking standard to be located in Fremont, California, at a ratio of 1:230; the least restrictive was found in Corvallis, Oregon, at a standard of 1:600. In all cases, the librarians surveyed stated that there is sufficient onsite parking for library operations and that their parking standards are adequate. Staff also surveyed several libraries containing functions beyond the normal library operation, i.e. museums, government offices, and meeting rooms. As expected, the parking standards were more restrictive, with standards from 1:ZOO to 1:350. Finally, staff researched applicable periodicals and located an article by Hoyt Galvin, a prominent library consultant. In his article, Galvin surveyed over 100 libraries of various sizes nationwide. Included in his survey questionnaire were questions regarding the actual parking ratio and the librarian's opinion as to the adequacy of the onsite parking supply. Galvin concluded that a library parking standard of 1:ZOO to 1:222 met all needs. Although Galvin's study was conducted in 1978, the traffic generated by a library has been fairly constant over time. Using SANDAG generation rates, the traffic generated by library use has been constant since 1984. Considering all of the above references, staff believes a logical library parking standard would be between 1:200 and 1:350. Given the fact that Carlsbad libraries are of superior quality and often draw visitors from outside the City, the more restrictive ratio of 1:ZOO seems reasonable. Although this ratio is more lenient than the current standard of 1:150, it is consistent with comparable library projects and is substantiated by experts in the field. Therefore, staff recommends approval. Commissioner Erwin inquired if Beverly Hills, Mission Viejo, and Irvine were surveyed. Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, stated that these three cities were not surveyed. Commissioner McFadden inquired if the parking was adequate at the mixed use library projects which were surveyed. Mr. Grim replied that parking was adequate. Commissioner Erwin inquired how many spaces will actually be required at the new South Carlsbad branch library. Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, replied that 427 spaces would be required at a ratio of 1:150, less a 15% allowance for mixed use, for a total parking requirement of 363 spaces. Using a ratio of 1:200, the parking requirement would be 320 spaces. commissioner McFadden inquired what type of facility is being proposed for the Barrio. Cliff Lange, Library Director, replied that the facility planned for the Barrio will be an Information Center. part time by the Library. using that Barrio facility will walk to it. Commissioner Holmes stated that he almost always has trouble finding a place to park at the main library. concerned about the handicapped parking. would like to see a couple more handicapped parking spaces Gary The grant being sought is for a ' temporary Outreach program, open minimum hours and staffed It is presumed that most people He is primarily Commissioner Holmes MINUT& 0 rC*41 y COMMISSIONERS December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 6 provided. Cliff Lange, Library Director, replied that he has no objection to this proposal. Chairman Schrm opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. Clifford Lange, Library Director, 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive, addressed the Commission and stated that he supports the staff recommendation to change the parking standard from 1:150 to 1:200. He and his staff spent a considerable amount of time researching this issue and he spoke personally to at least one dozen library directors, State library staff, and several library consultants. He was unable to find any library with a parking standard as strict as Carlsbad. feels our current parking standard is unreasonable and excessive. As a result, the proposed branch library for South Carlsbad will have a difficult time finding enough parking spaces to accommodate the square footage. requested that Commissioners support the staff request to adjust the parking standard to a more reasonable ratio in line with current trends. David R. Smith, 130 Holly Road, Hopkins, Minnesota, addressed the Commission and stated that he is a consultant to libraries. He has been involved with planning for the proposed South Carlsbad library since July 1989. involved with planning libraries across the country for 22 years and he has conducted a great many feasibility studies. Through his work, he has become very familiar with parking requirements for libraries. He planned two libraries in Hennipen, Minnesota (Richdale and Southdale), which are located adjacent to major shopping centers. Area Library (65,000 s.f.1 was located on a busy thoroughfare with a lot of strip commercial. His office was located in an office building (30,000 s.f.) attached to the library structure. The library/office building had approximately 330 parking spaces and he only saw the parking lot filled on two or three occasions when there was overflow from the shopping center. that portion of the building was turned into municipal courts and a county service satellite which contained areas to register motor vehicles and pay property taxes. standard for that high activity building is currently only 1:200. Commissioner Hall inquired if Mr. Smith had ever planned a library which also housed an auditorium. Southdale Area Library contained a 200-250 seat auditorium where children's programs were held but it did not contain a gallery or museum. Commissioner Hall inquired if Mr. Smith had ever planned a library which housed an auditorium and a movie theatre very close by. He replied that the Southdale Area Library had a shopping mall and five-screen theatre located across the street. The parking standard was around 1:300 and was quite sufficient. Commissioner Hall is concerned that the proposed South Carlsbad Library is going to be a multi-use building. The post office, theatre, and library are all high use facilities and will be within very close walking distance. Mr. Smith replied that much of the staff parking will not be needed in the evening when the theatre parking is needed. He He He has been The Southdale The Southdale library was ultimately relocated and The parking He replied that the Page 7 December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION Commissioner McFadden inquired if the 1:200 standard for Southdale included any forgiveness for mixed use. Mr. Smith replied that Southdale used a straight 1:200 standard. Commissioner McFadden inquired if public transportation has any bearing on the parking. Mr. Smith replied that the public transportation in that area is not heavily used. A survey showed that 94% to 96% of library users traveled by private conveyance. Commissioner McFadden inquired about the population served by the Southdale Area Library. Mr. Smith replied that the population was around 200,000. Commissioner McFadden inquired if Mr. Smith has ever seen a drive-up drop-off to return books. He replied that he had seen them but they usually do not work very well. seen one successful drive-up in Orlando, Florida, which is used to distribute and return videos. Commissioner McFadden commented that UCS3 has a drive-up which works very well. trade-off for a library with a drive-up. Mr. Smith replied that the idea of a drive-up was considered in South Carlsbad but they were not able to accommodate vehicle stacking efficiently. Commissioner Erwin inquired if Mr. Smith knows Hoyt Galvin. He replied that he does; still very active in library consulting. Commissioner Erwin inquired if Mr. Smith has had any experience with a reduction of ratios when shared parking was involved. shared parking in the precise manner that is being applied here. Eugene Spindler, 3150 Bristol Street, Suite 250, Costa Mesa, representing the Carlsbad Retail Associates, developers of the retail center adjacent to the proposed South Carlsbad library, addressed the Commission and stated that Carlsbad Retail Associates supports the staff recommendation for a parking standard of 1:200. and feel that the standard is adequate and more than ample for the site. parking stalls available and the requirement would be for 320 stalls, so there would be a 30 stall cushion. Commissioner Hall inquired if Mr Spindler realizes that the library will be a multi-use building and will also contain a 192-seat auditorium. auditorium but has been advised that it will not be used at all times. a.m to 2:OO p.m. and the peak time €or the theatre would be 7:OO p.m. to 8:OO p.m. Mr. Spindler does not feel there will be a conflict. Commissioner Hall inquired if the post office will create a problem. Mr. Spindler replied that the majority of shared parking will be between the library and the shopping center; the post office is self-contained but does have the right to use a strip of parking along the northern boundary of their property. Commissioner Hall inquired who their consultant was. Mr. Spindler replied that it was Linscott, Law & Greenspan. He has She could see giving a parking Mr. Galvin lives in Iowa and is He replied that he has not been involved with They have done extensive studies Using the 1:200 ratio, there would be 350 He replied that he is aware of the The peak times for the auditorium would be 11:OO COMMISSIONERS c COMMISSIONERS December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 8 Commissioner Erwin inquired about the status of the post office. Mr. Spindler replied that the site has been appraised and is now being evaluated by their civil engineer. Escrow is expected to close by the end of February. Commissioner Erwin inquired if the delivery vehicles will be parked on the site or someplace else. Mr. Spindler replied that the post office has not yet identified the size the facility to be built. stored onsite, but private vehicles of postal employees would probably be parked someplace else. Commissioner Erwin inquired how Mr. Spindler would feel about a parking structure in 5-10 years. He replied that a parking structure could probably be made to work with the right planning. Commissioner Erwin inquired if Mr. Spindler agrees that using the current parking standard of 1:150, 363 spaces would be required rather than 320 spaces using the 1:ZOO standard. He agrees with this computation. Commissioner McFadden commented that she had heard that the post office would not consider a reciprocal parking agreement. Mr. Spindler replied that the post office has not been in favor of reciprocal parking but it has not been discussed recently; they plan to fence off their site. Postal employees would park in a strip along the northern edge of the postal parcel. Commissioner Hall inquired if there will be a restaurant located on the site. Mr. Spindler replied that two small restaurants are planned for Pad A of the shopping center. There is another 5,500 s.f. site on Pad B which was planned for a restaurant but the size might be reduced to 3,000 s.f. Seena Trigas, 6430 Flamenco Street, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that she chairs the Library Architectural Committee and is President of the Library Board of Trustees. The architectural committee visited a San Bernardino library, which includes an art gallery, using a 1:300 parking standard. That library has not experienced any parking problems. ratio of 1:ZOO will be more than adequate and they support the staff recommendation. She requested consideration. Commissioner Erwin asked the City Attorney if the parking shortage using the current standard could be handled with a variance. Ron Ball, Assistant City Attorney, replied that there is no application for a variance before the Commissioner. could be met. Hap L’Heureux, 1731 Calavo Court, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is also a member of the architectural committee. In his opinion, it would be extremely difficult to reduce the size of the library and . still accommodate the various uses. If the facility requires downsizing, it would necessitate elimination of the auditorium and the art gallery and would set the project back 6-8 months. and urged the Commission’s approval. Commissioner Hall inquired if Mr. L’Heureux wants to build a structure where people will have to fight to find a parking Postal vehicles would have to be The Library Board feels that a parking A variance would be possible if the findings He supports the staff recommendation of 1:ZOO MINUT I!! 0 ** .. \ COMMISSIONERS December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION Page 9 place. scheduling of events. Gary Wrench, 3135 Charter Oak Drive, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is on the Library Architectural Review Committee and a former member of the Planning Commission. He requests support of the change in parking ratios because it is a reasonable request, regardless of the 15% allowance for multiple uses. Bebe Grosse, 5850 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that she is on the Library Board and feels that standards are established to serve a need. She believes this parking standard should have been addressed long ago. research as to trends or need. The current approach is reasonable. She requested the Commission's support. Dick Martin, 2350 Cipriano Lane, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is a member of the Library Board and he supports the staff recommendation. He hopes the Commission will also support it. If the library requires downsizing because of the parking situation, it will probably jeopardize the State funding. There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Schramm declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Commissioner Marcus thinks the study has been very thorough. She would be interested in knowing how often the auditorium and art gallery in San Bernardino is used. Cliff Lange, Library Director, replied that the San Bernardino auditorium is used 3-4 evenings a week, and sometimes in the afternoon. Occasionally the teachers use it during the day for inservice training. Commissioner Schlehuber inquired how many consultants or firms are active in the library parking field. Mr. Smith replied that there are 35-40 part-time consultants and 6-8 full-time consultants in this field. Commissioner Schlehuber inquired if Mr. Smith primarily works on library parking. He replied that he works on library planning which includes library building, feasibility, and programming studies. He has been in the field for 22 years. In his observation of libraries which have active galleries or museums, the major traffic occurs on opening day and closing day. Galleries and museums of the size planned for South Carlsbad usually only have 12-15 persons in them at any given time. Commissioner Schlehuber is satisfied with Mr. Smith's knowledge of library parking standards. should be made based on logic. is reasonable and can accept the opinion of the expert. He replied that any problems can be handled with The current standard was set up without any He feels a decision He feels the 1:200 standard He . can support the change. Commissioner Marcus doesn't want to see the library downsized and she feels the present standard was arbitrary. that 1:200 is reasonable and she can support it. Commissioner Erwin feels we are opening the flood gates by changing an ordinance to reduce parking to accommodate the library. She feels He thinks the City should set the example. He could COMMISSIONERS Page 10 December 5, 1990 PLANNING COMMISSION. support a variance for 13 parking spaces but cannot support changing the standard. Commissioner McFadden noted that the cities surveyed did not give 15% for joint use. She is sorry that a reciprocal parking agreement has already been signed and thinks it is curious that the post office can use everyone else's parking but no one can use the post office parking. she does not think a parking standard of 1:200 will be adequate. Commissioner Holmes feels he must support the expert since he has no experience with library parking. Commissioner Hall can support the staff recommendation due to the testimony of the expert and the staff report. Chairman Schramm was on the library committee and can support the staff recommendation because the library is already parked at 350 spaces. library, post office, and theatre together. If more parking is needed, the shopping center can build a parking structure. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Erwin Planning Commission Resolution No. 3167 recommending Hall approval of the Negative Declaration, and adopt Planning Holmes Commission Resolution No. 3168 recommending approval of Marcus ZCA 90-1, based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
