These IODA’s will not be allowed in the Redevelopment Area or within the Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone. They also will not be allowed on sites located in the Coastal Zone west of the railway line where the development does not provide adequate parking to Code requirements for the indoor seating. This will ensure that no existing “under-parked” situations in the Coastal Zone will be exacerbated. V. COMMISSION OFFICE USE ONLY: AMENDMENT # DATE RECEIVED DATE FILED COMM.

AMENDMENTS RELATIONSHIP TO AND EFFECT ON OTHER SECTIONS OF THE PREVIOUSLY CERTIFIED LCP The project proposes an amendment to the text of the local coastal program (LCP) segments zoning. The purpose of the amendment is to provide an incentive to restaurant owners/operators to encourage provision of small outdoor dining areas associated with restaurants providing indoor seating. The incentive provided is a waiver of the parking requirements which would otherwise be associated with the small outdoor dining area. The project will not change any currently allowed or prohibited land uses or their potential locations. It will also not relieve any developer/project from full compliance with all applicable Coastal regulations. The only action this amendment will have is to create an incentive for small outdoor dining areas. It will do this by allowing these small dining areas to be provided without providing the otherwise-required parking spaces for those small areas. This parking waiver will not be available to restaurants within the CommerciaWisitor-Serving Overlay Zone. It will also not be available on sites located within the Coastal Zone west of the railroad right-of-way where parking for the indoor dining area is not provided at Code required levels. Thus, there will be no exacerbation of “under-parked” situations, Approval of the proposed LCP Amendment would establish consistency with the City’s zoning regulations. 4. ZONING MEASURES THAT WILL IMPLEMENT THE LCPA A Zone Code Amendment (ZCA 99-01) was approved to achieve consistency with the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment. 5. AFFECT ON PUBLIC ACCESS The project area is Citywide outside of the Redevelopment Area and outside of the CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone. Consequently, the amended Code could be applied at a variety of locations. However, the amendment does not change any of the uses currently allowed or prohibited on any locations. It also does not relieve any developer/project from any otherwise applicable Coastal Zone regulations to provide public access. Therefore the project will have no affect on public access. 6. ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON COASTAL RESOURCES The project will have no potentially significant adverse cumulative impacts on Coastal resources. The project will not change any currently allowed or prohibited land uses or their potential locations. It will also not relieve any developer/project from full compliance with all applicable Coastal regulations. The only action this amendment will have is to create an incentive for small outdoor dining areas. It will do this by allowing these small dining areas to be provided without providing the otherwise-required parking spaces for those small areas. This parking waiver will not be available to restaurants within the CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone. It will also not be available on ATTACHMENT “A” sites located within the Coastal Zone west of the railroad right-of-way where parking for the indoor dining area is not provided at Code required levels. Thus, there will be no exacerbation of “under-parked” situations. 7.
