WHEREAS, a text amendment was initiated by the City for the consideration of requiring that parking facilities be provided in compliance with Code when existing uses are changed to a more inten- sive use; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on January 8, 1980, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and present evidence; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RECOMMENDS TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENT BE MADE TO THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE: Section 1, That Section 9269,3, be amended to read: "9269,3. CHANGES IN USE. Whenever the existing use of a structure or lot is changed to another use re- quiring a larger number of parking spaces than required for the existing use, parking facilities sh~ll be pro- vided in accordance with the standards set forth in Part 6, Division 9 and Part 8, Division 4 of this Chapter," Section 2, The Planning Commission finds that this proposed change will provide for more clarity in the Code, will establish necessary regulations for parking facilities, and that the public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice justify the above recommendation, -1- 1143 J : . tt , , . . ~ Section 3. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia, I HEREBY CERTIFY ,that the foregoing resolution was adopted at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia on the lOth day of June, 1980, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Hedlund, Hegg, Kuyper, Sargis, SOldate, Brink NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Fee /M4v /J~ Chairman ATTEST: tJ)(lM(~-I~ - Secret ary -2- 1143 : . . , r,e (e MAY 27, 1980 TO: CITY OF ARCADIA PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT CASE NO. : T.A. 80-5 Text amendment to require that parking be provided in compliance with Code when existing uses are changed to a more intensive use Since the Planning Commission's original consideration of this item on January 8. 1980. the Planning Division has contacted 16 other cities regarding their parking regulations. Ten of the cities have specific regulations requiring parking to be changed when there is a change in the use. Unfortunately, most of the regulations are as pcorly worded as our existing code section. Five other cities did not have specific regulations in their codes but did indicate in conversation that none the less, changes in parking were required with changes in use. One other city did not have or impose any restrictions with respect to such changes. However, from the regulations of a couple of the cities, the Planning Division was able to obtain some ideas as to language which would make more clear our intent.' The following is a proposed revision to the wording of Section 9269.3. CHANGES IN USE, from the wording contained in our original staff report: "9269.3. CHANGES IN USE. Whenever the existing use of a structure or lot is changed to another use requiring a larger number of parking spaces than required for the existing use, parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with the standards set forth in Part 6, Division 9 and Part 8. Division 4 of this Chapter." . , The intent of the text amendment is to require the upgrading of parking facilities (number of spaces, landscaping, etc.) when a more intensive use is sought for the property or structure. No upgrading would be required. when either a similar or a less intense use is sought, even if there was an existing deficiency. PLANNING DIVISION ,WILLIAM WOOLARD Director of Planning WDW/kl . f '.. . ~ . . . . e (e JANUARY 8, 1980 TO: CITY OF ARCADIA PLA:oINING COMMISSION FRm!: PLANfnNG DIVISION CASE NO: T,A, 80-5 PREPARED BY: WILLIAM WOOLARD DIRECTOR OF PLANNING GENERAL INFORI,IATION APPLICANT: City of Arcadia REQUEST: Text amendment to require that parking be provided in compliance with code when exisLing uses are changed to a more inLensive use. PROPOSAL This text amendment was initiated by the City in order to provide clarification to existing code requirements, Existing Arcadia Municipal Code Section 9269,3, states as follows: "9269.3, CHANGES IN USE, Whenever the existing use of a structure or lot is changed to another use, park- ing facilities shall be provided in accordance with the standards set forth herein," This amendment is for the consideration of amending the aforementioned section to read as follows: ",9269,3. CHANGES IN USE, Whenever the exist ing use of a structure or lot is changed to another use which requires a greater number of parking spaces than the number of parking spaces required for the previous use based on the provisions of this Division, then parking facilities shall be provided in accordance with the standards set forth herein," ANALYSIS The existing code section does not differentiate between changes from more intensive uses to less intensive uses or vise versa, In addition, : . . .. . Ce (e T,A, 80-5 January 8, 1980 the term "standards set forth herein" is not limited to just the number of required parking spaces, but to all of the other parking criteria, . The strict application of the existing code section would impose a tremendous hardship on many property and business owners. However, it is becomming apparent that to not enforce this section would allow for a building to be designed, built and occupied by business office uses requiring four parking spaces per 1001 square feet of gross floor area and then to change uses to a retail uses requiring five parking spaces per 1001 square feet of gross floor area (a reduction of 20%) or to medical uses requiring six parking spaces per 1001 square feet of gross floor area (a reduction of 33%), Substantial hardship will be avoided if the proposed amendment is adopted and the upgrading of parking facilities is required only when the change in use requires additional parking spaces. In addition, the amendment will reduce the potential for circumvention of the existing parking space requirements, Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project, Said initial study did not disclose any substan~ tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the phy~ sical conditions.within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance, Therefore, a Negative Declaration bas been prepared for this project. Before the Planning Commission and City Council takes action on this project, the Commission and Council should "move to approve and file the Negative Declarafion and find that the projeci will not have a significant effect on the environment," RECm.l~lENDA T I ON' The Planning Division recommends approval of TA 80~5, PLANNING DIVISION ~~ \\'ILLIA11 WOOLARD Director of Planning I\'IV/\'b -2- , .
