HomeMy WebLinkAboutOrdinance #3483 ORDINANCE NO. 3483 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH AMENDING CHAPTER 4.2 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH SPECIFIC PLAN RELATING TO THE DOWNTOWN PARKING MASTER PLAN The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Section 4.2.14 of the Huntington Beach Specific Plan is hereby amended to read as follows: 4.2.14 The Downtown Parking Master Plan The Downtown Parking Master Plan is based on a shared parking concept. Shared parking in effect allows one (1) parking space to serve two (2) or more individual land uses without conflict. Shared parking relies on the variations in the peak parking demand for different uses. In other words, parking demands will fluctuate in relationship to the mix of uses by hour, day of week, and season. The proper mix will create an interrelationship among different uses and activities which results in a reduction of the demand for parking. The Downtown core area is centered along the Main Street commercial corridor. This commercial corridor divides into two (2) distinct areas,north and south of Orange. The area which encompasses the Downtown Parking Master Plan is identified on the area map (Figure 4.1). Area 1 - The area south of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides the greatest amount of public parking opportunities both off-street and on-street. Area 1 has the greatest number of visitor-serving and seasonal commercial uses including year round entertainment. This area also has the greatest concentration of expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses, and therefore, the majority of the public parking spaces are provided in this area. Expanding commercial activity in this area remains the focus of the Downtown Master Plan, however, no additional parking for new or expanded commercial, restaurant and office uses should be required provided the total square footage and mix of uses do not exceed the Master Plan projections. The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a public parking facility. Area 2 - The area north of Orange Avenue along Main Street provides Iimited amounts of public parking opportunities. This area is still part of the Downtown core. However, the commercial uses in Area 2 cater more to year-round residents, therefore, additional on-street short-term parking is provided. The existing Downtown public parking facilities are not conveniently located for use in this area, thus, a combination of expanded on-street and on-site parking may be necessary for new or expanded commercial uses. The commercial activity remains primarily service-related commercial; the existing supply of on-street and on-site parking should be sufficient for anticipated uses. The mix of commercial and residential activities can justify a parking reduction and additional parking may not be necessary if development does jmp/planning/4-2 ord/10/26/00 1 not exceed the Master Plan projections. The city shall retain the option to purchase property for a public parking facility. City-owned and controlled public parking in the Downtown Parking Master Plan (DPMP) area shall be consistent with the City's certified land use plan. The DPMP is structured to protect beach user parking by providing adequate public parking within the Downtown area. The DPMP encourages the use of the City-owned and controlled parking sites within the DPMP area. To encourage the use of the City-owned public parking facilities, parking controls such as time limits, and parking rates may be adjusted to maintain the desired use of these spaces by patrons and employees of the downtown area. A validation program for the City-owned public parking structure has been established as an incentive for the use of the structure by the patrons and employees of the downtown area. Any changes to the program shall be submitted to the Executive Director to determine if an amendment to the Specific Plan is necessary. The Downtown Parking Master Plan anticipates a total development scenario of approximately 715,000 square feet of commercial activity. The DPMP has development thresholds of 144,000 square feet for restaurant, 300,000 square feet for retail, 126,000 square feet for office and 145,000 square feet for miscellaneous development. Area 1 will contain approximately 626,000 square feet of commercial development,with the remaining 89,000 square feet in Area 2. The Planning Department shall be responsible for monitoring the development square footage per land use and the number of parking spaces within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area. An annual review and monitoring report of the Downtown Parking Master Plan shall be prepared by the Planning Department and presented for review by the Planning Commission and City Council. Following the review by the City Council, the Downtown Parking Master Plan annual review and monitoring report shall be submitted to the Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission for review. The Downtown Parking Master Plan annual review and monitoring report shall include, at a minimum: 1) amount and type of development square footage approved during the annual review period; 2) total amount of square footage in the Downtown Parking Master Plan area; 3) an inventory of existing parking spaces; 4) a parking utilization study; 5) an assessment of parking demand compared with parking supply; 6) a determination of whether adequate parking remains to serve development allowed up to the total development cap. If the Downtown Parking Master Plan annual review and monitoring report indicates that the parking supply is inadequate to serve the approved level of development or if the development square footage exceeds the amount described above (up to 715,000 square feet total), all development within the Downtown Parking Master Plan area shall provide parking consistent with Off-Street Parking and Loading Provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless and until new parking to meet the identified demand is approved and constructed. Changes between one or more of the individual use categories maybe allowed as long as the total square footage does not exceed 715,000 square feet provided there are corresponding changes in the other use categories to assure adequate parking remains. jmp/planning/4-2 ord/t0/26/00 2 Parking shall be provided for each Area. If a project is built in Area One that requires more shared parking than is available in Area One, credit from Area Two shall not be used. If a project is built in Area Two that requires more shared parking than is available in Area Two, credit from Area One shall not be used. Although the Downtown Parking Master Plan distinguishes between the location and type of parking resources available in Area 1 and Area 2, the adjusted parking requirement for both Area 1 and Area 2 is the same (Figure 4.2). The common parking requirement is based on the shared parking concept for the entire master plan area. Existing and proposed building square footage and uses identified in the technical background report prepared by Kaku Associates (Sept., 2000), entitled"Downtown Parking Master Plan Update," (Appendix - Existing and Proposed Land Use Analysis Blocks A- 1) are parked within the public parking supply within the Downtown Parking Master Plan. In the event a property owner demolishes his/her existing building, and rebuilds a new building of equal square footage and use, no additional parking shall be required. Any code required parking spaces provided on-site shall be credited for any expansion of square footage or intensification of use. All required parking shall be calculated based on the reduced requirements of the Downtown Parking Master Plan. The Planning Commission or City Council may impose one (1), all, or a combination of the following requirements to ensure that adequate parking is provided for each development: 1. Require projects over 30,000 sq. ft. or one-half(1/2)block in size provide 50% of the code-required parking identified in Figure 4.2. 2. Require that any parking in-lieu fees be full cost recovery based on the parking requirement for specific uses. However, allow that these fees be paid over an amortization period, with appropriate security provided by the applicant to guarantee payment. 3. Require valet parking once the maximum build out of restaurant activity has been obtained. 4. Commercial projects greater than 10,000 square feet in size shall be required to submit a parking management plan consistent with the Downtown Parking Master Plan. 5_ Require valet and/or remote parking for special events and activities, and during the peak summer season. 6. Require the applicant to provide additional on-site and/or off-site parking for any development. 7. Develop parking options which may generate additional parking for any development. 8. Develop a sign program to direct motorists to primary parking facilities within the Downtown Parking Master Plan. jmp/planning/4-2 ord/10/26/00 3 SECTION 2.
