Dr. Lange referred to the revieed building layouts shown on wall charts, and otated that relatively minor changes have been made. He said there would probably be one more time for changes in the layouts. At the present time the architects are working on the exterior design. The parking iosue is atill being considered, ae 382 spaces are required and they can't bo put on site without a parking etructure. u' TRUSTEES ' Trigam coopor Gross0 Mart in \ c \ October 17, 1990 LIBRARY BOAR0 OF TRUSTEES Page 2 OLD 6IJ81~88: (Continued) b.

Dr. Lange dlscumsed the alternative. to a parking structure, which would be too expenmlvei mtating that the post office has mtated they need all of their land1 to build parking over the drainage bamin would be almost as expensive as building a structure. Parking under the building im too expensive. Dr. Lange mtated the Planning Commission lm to be asked for a standard change and he referred to the Remolution of Intention, copy of which wam dimtributed to Board Hemberm prior to the meeting. Trustee Grosse mentioned that it might be helpful to find out how long standards have been at the prement level in citiea where they are lower for librariem. If they have been in effect within the lamt five years, that would help. Dr. Lange atated there would be a staff report to the Planning Comnission on December 5 on this requemt. Partnershitm for Chanae Grant Award Announcement ana Statue Rewrt. Lynda Jones gave a statu. report on the Partnermhipm for Change Grant Award, stating that 23 c-nitiem applied for grants. That was narrowed down to &-and Carlsbad was one of that 8. A needs amoessment warn made and it wam determined that there was a need for an information center in the hispanlc neighborhood. The plan was to move that center into the Cole Library when it was re-opened. The grant requcmt wan for $157,000, and the award was for $40,000. Each of the 8 librariem was awarded the same amount of money, with emphasis being placed on getting the infrastructure in place. Some of the money will be used for mignage and hiring of bilingual employeem as well aa collection developnent. As far am the information center, that will have to be on a scaled-down basim the firmt year. At the present time, it is hoped that some free space will be available for the center, And stme part-time help to open a center. President Trigas expresmed concern about moving the center two or three tlmes--as mhe felt thio would only add to the confusion and create more mistrumt. Geoff Armour stated that City Council would have to approve how the S40,OOO would be spent. He said the critical challenge would be the mtaffing. Staff will get feedback from the coalition and go back to Council prior to acceptance of the funds. ubrarv Comeuter Cataloa St atue Rewrt Dr. Lange reported that as of Monday of thim week, four terminals were in use at the Branch Library. He said the feedback is very positive, and the people like the new system ae it is very eamy to uee. TRUSTEES MINUTES October 17, 1990 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 YW -- Ceoff Armour continued the report, stating that there will be 17 terminals in the Main Library, and staff feela they will be heavily used. The electrical work is being finiehed at this time, and on October 29, the cable company will come in and pull cables from the computer room into the Library. Hopefully, the work will be completed by the end of the month. The hookup time will be over Veterans Day Weekend. There will be a dumpster for the over one million cards to be thrown away. Dr. Lange stated therm will be a ribbon-cutting on December 11, at 5100 p.m., with the Council and the Library Board to inaugurate the new catalog. NEW BUSINESS: a.

PARKING GUIDELINES Prepared by Raymond H. Bolt Raymond H. Aolt 6 AISOCiPtCI, Library Consultants .. . .- .- .. ,*-... .. The folloving guidelines are rupplied in the abrence of any . ro-called "Standard" for public library parking requirementr. Regardless of the formula ured for determining the number of parking rpaces, it is imparative that local conditions and the library ure patterns of the community be given primary conrideration. In mort rituations, adequate off-rtreet parking (accesrible and convenient to the library entrance) ir a major determinant in urer ratisfaction 86 vel1 as the amount of use a library faciltiy vi11 receive. Parking for a library in a denrely populated urban retting may bc quite different from the requirements vhich rhould be met by a ruburban or rural library of rimilar size. Patterns of use must a180 be conridered in term8 of the ratio of adult to juvenile library users. The rquare footage required for a typical parking rtall will var: considerably depending on length, vidth, depth, angle, drivevay dimenrionr, number of rovs and other derign factors. Parking provision8 should provide for a rafe and convenient area for parrenger drop-off. If rchool or other burer provide transportation for clarr or rpecial group viritr, additional rpace may be necerrary for their movement and. parking for discharging and loading. The area required for driveway access to the parking lot from the adjacent rtreet(8) ir rtill another v8riable vhich vi11 af f ect total parking rpact requirementr. b PARK1 #C CALCULATION GU I DELIRES Sone jurirdictionr have ertablirhed parking rtquiremcntr by ordinance or other mean8 vhich specifically include library facilitier, either ar a reparate entity or ar one of a particulax type of 08e~ Le., office buildings, theaterr, Churches, etc. The first rtep in determining parking requirementr is to astablirh vhether or not such a requirement exirtr in the particular jurirdiction. If ro, then the requirement should be examined to determine how well it fulfill8 the library'r potential need. 2. Ratio of Floor Area to Parking Parking requirements for commercial and public use (a) one parking rpace for every 400 square feet of (b) one square foot of parkiag for one rquare foot of rtructurer are often expressed a8 a ratio of a building's square footage of floor area. For inrtance: building, or buildiag. The applicability of thir type of requirement to library buildingr depends to rome extent upon the nature of the librrry and the- community rervcd. A popular branch library vith limited collection8 ured heavily by people who drive to the library may need a higher ratio of parking space to building rpace than a large central library vhich bar much of its rpace given over to collectionr and is ured primarily for retiour rtudy and research. 3. Ratio of P8rking to Seating A more pragmatic guideline ir to relate the number of parking spacer to rerting, rometimer rpecifically to adult reating. Asruming a typical car carrier two people, the ratio of 1 parking rpace for every 2 adult reatr ha8 rome rationale. This number, of course, rurt be rupplerented by additional parking spacer for a11 meeting roomr - usually covered by local rcgulationr. Parking for rtaff will be over and above such calcul8tions. A formula conrtucted on ruch a rationale taker into account the obviour fact that neither library materials nor children drive or park Car#, and thur rhould not be a part Of the C8 1CUl8tiOn8. 4. Staff Parking The number of parking stall8 required for staff is often .regulated by the local jurirdiction. pore lenient in this regard than are othtrr. Failure to provide adequate rt8ff parking often become8 a major rource of staff frurtration and dircontent. Wherever porrible, rtaff parking 8bould provide rufficient rpace for thore rtaff member8 who conristently drive their car8 to work.

I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution of Intenaon 184 to consider amending Title 21 of the Carlsbcld Municipal Code based upon the infoqnation contained in this report. 11. PROJECX DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND On May 6, 1986, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 9804, approving ZCA-187 which revised many of the parking requirements of the City, including the requirements for library parking. The libraxy parking standard was changed from one space per two hundred and fifty square feet to one space per one hundred and fifty square feet, however no discussion of library parking exists in the staff report and agenda bill that accompanied the zone code amendment request. Currently, there is a municipal project (PD 3244) to design and construct a 64,000 square foot library within the Plaza Paseo Real shopping center, near the intersection of Alga Road and El Camino Real. During the course of the Planning Department's review of the project it has come to staffs arrention that the current liirary parking standard of one space per one hundred and fifry square feet of Iibraxy space may be unrealistic. Preliminary research has indicated that the industry standard for library parking ratios is closer to one space per two hundred or three hundred square feet of library (see Attachment A). Since no survey of library parking adequacy was conducted prior to approval of ZCA-187 and because no discussion on library parking exists within the supporting documents of the zone code amendment, staff believes more research is needed in this area. Based upon the above, staff recommends approval of the resolution of intention which would allow proper analysis and, if necessary, adjustment of the parking requirements for libraries. The library design (Municipal Project PD 3244) could be affected by the parking requirements. Therefore, following action on this possible ZCA, the library design would be brought forward to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation to the City Council. ATTACHMENTS 1.

HOLZMILLER PLANNING DIRECTOR MG:nro SHARON SCHRAMM, Chairperson CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION . . > .. .I ' .. ’ PUBUCUBRMY MRKIffi NEEDS QUESTIONS on the number of parking spaces needed for a public library are asked frequently since there are no accepted standards. Square foot standards for pub- lic library buildings have been available from the work of Joseph L. Wheeler, American Library Association committees, and state libraryktate association com- mittees. This study was initiated with the aim of suggesting standards for parking. From the annual U public li- brary construction questionnaires (reported in the Dc- cember 1 issue each year). data was available on the number of parking spaces provided. and the square foot size of the buildings reported. From the buildings reported completed during the fiscal years ending June 30. 1972, 1973, and 1974, 150 main and branch library buildings were selected for study. Only buildings with on-site parking were included. A questionnaire was directed to the librarian in charge of each library asking if their building was too small or too large, and for their estimate of the site needed; if the parking spaces provided were too few or too many, and for their estimate of the number of park- ing spaces needed. Finally. an opinion was solicited for a standard on the number of square feet of parking needed for each square foot of building. Responses came from 108 librarians, 72 for main buildings and 36 for branches. Most of the 72 main library respondents consid- ered their buildings to be adequate in sire even though the buildings varied from .22 to 2.94 square feet per capita. (See columns 3, 4, and 5 of the main library tabulation.) The average size calculated from the totals was .61 square feet per capita. Branch buildings averaged .44 square feet ‘per capita for the area served. Most of the branch IibrJri- ans responding considered their buildings to be largr enough. The building size thought needed (Column 5 of the branch tabulation) varied from . I5 to I .33 squarc feet per capita. Branch buildings without need for ad- ministrative and technical service space were general- ly smaller per capita than main buildings. One square foot of parking for each square foot of public library building was the prevailing recommen- dation of the 38 respondents willing to state an opinion for a standard. The low recommendation was .?1 and the high was 2.5 square feet of parking for each 5qum foot of building. There was a noticeable cluster of in. formed respondents recommending I .5 squarc fer.! of parking per square foot of building. and these incluJcJ the standards of several major building codes. Several respondents doubted the wisdom of W’ gesting parking standards since there are so man?’ 3”. ables to consider. Some authorities. for examplr. low deductions from municipal code requircmcnl‘ when street parking is available. Population dcn-11‘ . public transportation. autos per capita. adjacent dT. Street parking, expected use of a library meeting rc’rln’. and estimates of parking to be absorbed for nonlibfilp purposes are some of the variables to consider. li Ihc parking lot is to be landscaped, or if diagonal parking I‘ planned, the common standard of 300 square feet F‘ parking space will need to be increased. ~ ~~ ~~~ ~ By Hoyt Gdrin, Head of Hoyt Galvin & Associates.

COMMUNITY LIBRARY SERVICE GRANT PROGRAM EVALUATION FIRST YEAR INTERIM REPORT 1990 Submitted to: THE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Submitted by: EVALUATION AND TRAINING INSTITUTE Cos Angeles, California FIRST YEAR RECOMMENDATIONS ET1 offers the following recommendations for CLSG program enhancement in the second and subsequent years. We first present recommendations for the enhancement of local library program implementation. and then focus on state level program design and implementation. LOCAL LIBRARY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT To enhance local CLSG program implementation and eventual incorporation, we present the following two recommendations, based on our first year review: Recommendation 1 : CLSG. programs should be encouraged to conduct community needs assessments on an ongoing basis. One of the positive components of the CLSG program design was requiring participating libraries to conduct a community needs assessment. Prior to the needs assessment component of the CLSG- program, most participating libraries did not have a means of assessing community needs. The process itself was educational. However, community needs change over time and needs assessments should be encouraged on a periodic basis to monitor and respond to changes. A periodic process of needs assessment also serves the evaluative purpose of providing the library with an indication of the extent to which its programs and services are meeting current community needs. 34 1 1 1 'We need to make some accommoda- tion to include staff which play a significant grant role but do nor fall within the existing 'A' 'B' and 'C partnership team structure.' Fresno Auberry Recommendation 2: Local programs should continue to recruit bilingual, bicultural staff, especially at the branch level. Bilingual, bicultural staff are an important element in the success of the CLSG programs, particularly in gaining the trust and support of the community. Continued recruitment of bilingual, bicultural staff, who work face-to-face with library patrons, should encourage continued partnership efforts. However, the continued scarcity of bilingual, bicultural librarians, particularly in the area of childrens' services, restricts the successful recruitment. Statewide promotion of the CLSG programs, and of the multicultural nature of these programs to library schools, may encourage more minorities to consider library service. STATE LEVEL PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION After the first year of CLSG program operations, we present the following five recommendations for enhancing the CLSG program in subsequent years: Recommendation 3: The CLSG training should be expanded to include additional staff from the libraries participating in the CLSG program. Several program participants noted that the CLSG training workshops would also be valuable to library staff participating in the CLSG program but not part of the "A "6' "C' configuration. In addition, many participants felt CLSG training would be appropriate for staff from other branches in participating jurisdictions, particularly in the areas of cultural sensitivity. Such training, expanded beyond the "A" "B" and "C" partners, would help promote the incorporation efforts of the CLSG programs. Means to expand training include one- day workshops, regional training sessions, and jurisdictional in-service activities by "A" "B and "C" partners. 35 IC_--- Recommendation 4: The training workshops should be provided on a regional as well as statewide basis. Many CLSG program participants expressed the desire to meet on a regional basis to compare activities and suggestions. There was the feeling that greater sharing of resources and strategies for meeting comqunity needs could be accomplished in a smaller group composed of programs that shared regional concerns. Recommendation 5: The State Librarian should support local programs’ incorporation efforts through communication with local elected officials. Many of the CLSG administrative partners indicated that the success of their efforts to incorporatethe goals of the CLSG program into their regular programs was dependent to a great extent on the level of funding provided for the jurisdiction by the local governing body. Incorporation was not dependent so much on receiving an increase in funding as on simply maintaining a constant level of funding, given the competing demands on local governments for health and safety services. Several participants suggested that their incorporation efforts could be enhanced by a strong showing of support from the State Librarian through a letter to the city council or mayor of participating jurisdictions, acknowledging the local CLSG programs. Recommendation 6: Future CLSG programs should be funded for a longer period, with an increase in funding between the first two years. The over-ambitious nature of the first year goals and planned activities in the CLSG programs is endemic to any new, specially funded program. Gearing up for a new project simply takes more time than most agencies plan, in part because of bureaucratic delays. In this first year of CLSG operations, some programs were unable to expend all of their grant because of delays in purchasing needed materials or equipment or in locating appropriate personnel. 36 . In planning future programs with multiple-year funding, we suggest that the State Library consider a five year funding period to encourage long-term incorporation. In the first year of the program, a smaller level of funding should be provided for community outreach and program development activities. Funding would peak in year two, with a slower rate of decline in year three to permit two years of close to full funding of program activities. In years four and five, the funding levels should dramatically decrease to encourage institutionalization of the program. Recommendation 7: State Library consultants should be trained in cultural sensitivity and managing change before they are assigned to PFC. One of the strengths of the CLSG program design is the care in providing appropriate training and support for the CLSG libraries. We suggest that similar trsining should be provided to the consultant staff from the State Library who are assigned to work with PFC. We believe that had training on the change process been provided to the PFC consultants in advance of the CLSG program implementation, not only would they have been better able to provide technical assistance to the CLSG libraries, there also would likely have been less turnover in staff. Training in cultural sensitivity and managing change should be provided to all new Library staff assigned to PFC, to provide continuity to the program and to prepare the staff for the demands and questions likely to be posed to them. SECOND YEAR FOCUS The second year of the evaluation will continue the formative review, and will develop the mechanisms for collecting outcome data to assess program impact. Working with the Evaluation Advisory Committee, appropriate measures of the impact of the CLSG program on participating libraries and their communities will be identified and collected. 37 OPAC TIMELINE 10/11/90 DESCRIPTION PHYSICAL BRANCH 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. a.

CA 94237-0001 Library Directors, CLC Programs in t..eir 6th & Subsequent Years cc: CLC Coordinators Gary E Strong, Chief Executhve Director, California Library Services Board October 1, 1990 Implementation of AB3381 (Chapter 1095, Statutes of 1990) I am very pleased to inform you that on Thursday, September 20, 1990, Governor Deukmejian signed into law AB3381 (Bakermoberti), thereby creating new prospects for the future of public library adult literacy services in California. The act has an urgency clause and therefore goes into effect immediately. At its August 1990 meeting, the California Library Services Board (CUB), directed me to award all of the remaining 1990/91 California Literacy Campaign State appropriation to implementing the AB3381 provision for State financial assistance to CLC programs in their 6th and subsequent years of operation. This Board action has two consequences: 1) No new local CLC programs will be initiated in the 1990/91 fiscal year; and, 2) A relatively small amount of supplemental assistance from the State will be available to CLC programs in their 6th and subsequent years of operation. The purpose of this memorandum is to alert you to the preliminary schedule for accomplishing this: September 25 - November 2 November 2 November 5 - 9 CSL staff develop draft plans of service and financial certification forms, instructions, and proposed implementation schedule CUB acts on draft forms, instructions, schedule Forms & instructions mailed to eligible libraries -2- December 14 Completed forms due at State Library January 7 Award process completed, notifications mailed I hope that this information will help you to anticipate and plan for the short turnaround time for compIeting plans of service and financial certifications necessary in this initiaI year of AB3381 implementation. I look forward to many years of Statehocal partnerships as we work together towards a more literate future for all Californians.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 3381 CHAPTER 1095 An act to add Article 4.2 (commencing with Section 18733) to Chapter 4 of Part 11 of the Education Code, relating to education, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. [Approved by Governor September 19, 1990. Filed with Secretary of State September 20, 1990.1 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST AB 3381, Baker. Adult illiteracy. Existing law establishes a library services program designed to prevent illiteracy through coordinated literacy and preliteracy services to families that include illiterate adults and young children. This bill would establish, in addition, the California Library Literacy Service, as a public library services program designed to reduce adult i 11 i teracy by providing Engl ish 1 anguage 1 i teracy instruction, as defined, and related services to adults and youth who are not enrolled in school. The bill would authorize the State Librarian to annually make apportionments of state funding to public libraries, in varying amounts, to share certain costs incurred in operating adult 1 iteracy instructional programs in accordance with designated criteria. The bill would require, as a condition of funding eligibility, that a public library annually.submit a plan of service and a proposed budget to the California Library Services Board for its review and approval. The bill would also direct the State Library to provide administrative support and technical assistance to participating pub1 ic 1 ibraries, and to conduct and coordinate specified services in support of the adult 1 i teracy instructional programs operated by those libraries. urgency statute. The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following: (1) There are more than 3,100,000 functionally illiterate adults in California. The majority of these adults are able to speak, but not able to read or write, the English language. (2) An adult's ability to function in our contemporary information age is critically and inextricably related to his or her literacy level and is of importance, therefore, both to the individual and to the whole of California society. (3) The need for adult literacy development is long-term and is increasing more rapidly than the state's 1 iteracy service capability. (4) The needs of illiterate adults are varied, and can best be met by a variety of approaches delivered through public and private organizations. (5) Adult literacy development involves growth in many aspects of an individual's life and requires unique instructional strategies and assessment procedures. (6) Knowledge about the extent of illiteracy in California and the means to address it requires ongoing expansion. (7) The California Literacy Campaign has proven itself to be an effective program, and has made important progress toward the reduction of illiteracy by mobilizing public libraries of California as providers of individualized English language 1 iteracy instruction for adults. (8) A partnership between state and local government has proven to be effective and necessary to provide adequate resources for library 1 i teracy services . (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to codify and enhance the California Literacy Campaign in order to establish a public library. English language literacy service for adults in California which will complement the activities of other pub1 ic and private adult education programs. SEC. 2. Article 4.2 (commencing with Section 18733) is added to Chapter 4 of Part 11 of the Education Code, to read: Article 4.2. California Library Literacy Service 18733. established, as a public library services program designed to reduce adult illiteracy by providing English language literacy instruction and related services to adults and youth who are not enrolled in school.
