DENNIS DELZEIT Councilmember City Engineer DORIS D. BANKUS JOHN V.GILLESPIE City Clerk Chief of Police JOHN C. GEONEY MEMORANDUM City Treasurer TO = The Planning Commission FROM : Diane Eaton, Associate Planner DATE November 14, 1985 SUBJECT = PARKING IN LIEU CONCEPT ' o Background As you are all well aware, there is a serious problem in the downtown area along High Street with respect to lack of adequate parking spaces. This is an issue which we must address if the downtown area is to be developed, and residences converted to commercial uses. The usual process is that each project provides on site adequate parking to provide for it' s intended use as required by the applicable zoning code provision. In cases of existing non-conforming (i.e. no off street parking) uses the parking problem continues even with a change of tenants. In addition to the overall problem of lack of off street parking in the High Street area, there is a problem with individual projects that are unable to meet the parking requirements. The obvious solution is to scale the project back in size which may make it financially infeasible to construct and/or result in a less desirable, unattractive or ordinary project. Other options are to seek the permitted 25% reduction in parking space requirement, attempt an over reliance on compact spaces, seek nearby leased or purchased spaces or reduce the amount of landscaping or setbacks. A more permanent option is centralized public parking areas. These can be provided for by the City with such mechanisms as assessment districts. A variation on this concept is the parking in lieu fee concept. The two concepts would also be used together. The in lieu fee approach permits the developer to purchase the number of spaces 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805)529-6864 The Planning Commission November 14, 1985 Page 2 • SUBJECT: PARKING IN LIEU CONCEPT needed to permit his proposed development to proceed. The fee would be an amount set by the City to include costs related to providing the space such as land, construction, professional services and financing. While this permits an approved project to be built, a continued parking problem would exist in the short run until the spaces are actually provided. This would be mitigated by developing a definite timetable for this approach or by combining it with an an assessment district, City funds, if available, or potentially Community Development Block Grant funds if determined to be an eligible program cost. The in lieu fee concept could also permit a developer to construct additional square footage on his property (as permitted by the City) if parking spaces could be provided off site. As an illustration of how this program might work we look at a commercial development now in process which is located on the northwest corner of High Street and Moorpark Avenue. is is an extremely attractive commercial development which would greatly enhance our downtown; however they are lacking adequate parking spaces to develop the project as currently proposed. This development only exemplifies the parking space shortage which we must address along High Street. Although there is the option of leasing from the railroad (month-to- month) this is only a temporary solution to both the proposed development's parking needs as well as the downtown areas need. Staff has researched other city' s Parking In Lieu Fee Ordinances to broaden our understanding on how this mechanism is implemented to promote commercial development in the downtown districts. For example, in the City of Bakersfield, core areas and extended areals that encompass the downtown area of the city are given reduction in their parking requirements when there is a change in the use of an existing structure which would require additional parking. The requirements are reduced by 50% in the core area and 25% in the extended area. If new or moved structures are developed, the parking requirements are reduced by 35% in the core area and 25% in the extended area.. This reduction in development standards serves to facilitate and encourage downtown development. In the City of Bakersfield, the Parking In Lieu Fee is $7, 000 for each required parking space in the core and $5, 000 for each required parking space in the extended area. However, the specific fee amount and reduction in parking requirements in the downtown area will vary from city to city depending on the land value and construction cost of parking facilities which will determine the "in Lieu Fee" payable per parking space. o - Lir ✓ The Planning Commission November 14, 1985 Page 3 SUBJECT: PARKING IN LIEU CONCEPT In addition to the Parking In Lieu Fee requirement for off street parking spaces, your Commission should also consider a fee for annual operation and maintenance of the City' s parking facilities. This fee will be used to reimburse the City for such maintenance of the site. Staff has included in your packet several other city' s "Parking In Lieu" Ordinances which demonstrates the variations in rate structure and formula computed for an "In Lieu" Parking District. However, it will give your Commission a better understanding of the concept. Recommendation Recommend to the City Council that the Zoning Ordinance be amended .to include a "Parking In Lieu Fee" component. /crl
