September 9, 1981
Page 2
Amendment, 25 percent compact parking .would be allowed for commer-
cial developments with a minimum of 20 parking spaces. A full-size
parking space is 9 .x 19 feet, whereas a. compact parking space would
be 8 x 15 feet.. The Planning Commission approved-Code Amendment
No. 81-6 deleting' Section 9792. 8 . 3, Landscaping. The Planning
Commission felt that the purpose of the amendment was to utilize the
land more efficiently, thus .the landscaping requirement was elim-
inated.
Further, the original code amendment which the City Council requested
addressed compact parking in residential and industrial zones.
However, the Planning Commission wanted �further .study in these areas
prior to considering a provi-sion for compact parking in those types
of development. The staff is in the process of analyzing residen-
tial and industrial zones for such provisions.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Pursuant. to the. provi.sions set forth in the California Environmental
' Quality Act, Code Amendment NO. . 81-6 is .exempt from environmental
review.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may consider denying Code Amendment 81-6, which would
continue the prohibition of compact car. parking. spaces in commer-
cial developments. . ,

This is an amendment to Article 979 to .allow a percentage of
compact parking in commercial developments. This amendment will
allow compact parking spaces for only retail and office/pro-
fessional uses.
The public hearing was opened. Speaking on behalf of the Hunting-
ton Center, James Truxel stated that he is concerned with the
justification for landscaping requirements. He felt that the
existing landscaping in the Center is attractive and failed to
see the need for additional landscaping. If the proposed guide-
lines were followed, he would end up with less parking than he
now has . The position of the Huntington Center is that if he
had to include the landscaping requirement, he would just leave
the Center the way it is now. He recommends excluding the land-
scaping requirement. The public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion opened. Commissioner Paone felt that the
purpose of the amendment was to be more efficient and stated he,
would recommend excluding the landscaping requirement. Commis-
sioner Porter agreed, stating that the question is not so much
new development, but a nonconforming use based on area and not
the number of spaces. Commissioner Bannister felt that multi-
story parking should be explored.

SUBJECT: Compact Car Parking Study and Usage Characteristics
Huntington Center
Huntington Beach, California
We are pleased to submit our findings relative to
current trends in vehicle size and compact parking as well as
the results of our compact parking study at the existing
Huntington Center in Huntington Beach, California. This study
was initiated in conjunction with the current discussion on a
potential revision to the City' s parking ordinance to permit
compact parking at commerical centers . Although our study
findings relate specifically to the Huntington Center , we
believe they reflect current vehicle fleet and usage trends
representative of other commercial centers in the City as well
as Orange County and Southern California in general.
"COMPACT CAR" DEFINED
A compact car is generally defined as having dimensions
which fall within a 15-foot by 6-foot envelope (overall length
of 180 .inches and overall width of 72 inches) . Following is a
list of some of the current and past production models which
fall within that category:
AMC Gremlin, Pacer Mazda Rx2, .Rx3., Rx7, GLC, 626
Audi Fox, 4000 Mercury Capri, Bobcat
1199 EAST WALNUT STREET, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91106 (213) 796-2322
S Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Inc., Engineers
Buick Skyhawk, Skylark Oldsmobile Starfire, Omega
Chevrolet Vega, Monza, Chevette Plymouth -Aries
Datsun B210, 210, 310, 510 Pontiac Astre, Phoenix
Dodge Colt, Omni, Reliant Toyota Tercel, Starlet, ,
Fiat 124, 128 Corolla, Corona
Ford Mustang II, Pinto, Fiesta VW Rabbit, Scirocco,
Honda Civic, Accord,. Prelude Jetta, Beetle
It should be noted that there are a number of cars which are
ordinarily considered by most persons as falling into the
compact car category which do not meet the 6-foot x 15-foot
envelope criteria. While these are 72 inches or less in width,
they exceed the 180-inch length. Examples of vehicles within
this category are the past models of AMC Hornet, Audi 100LS,
Dodge Dart and Ford Maverick and current BMW. 530i , Datsun
Maxima, Toyota Cressida and most Volvo models.
The dimensions of the compact car space as developed by
the parking industry and adopted in many municipal ordinances
are 7.5 feet wide by 15 feet long which are consistent with the
compact car definition presented above.
CURRENT VEHICLE FLEET TRENDS
The most readily available compact sales data in
Southern California are from the Los Angeles Times New Car Sales
Analysis for Los Angeles County and are summarized in Table 1.
Our" experience indicates that this information is representative
of Orange County as ,well.

SOURCE: Los Angeles Times New Ccir Sales Analysis.
As shown in Table 1 , compact car purchases constitute
an increasing percentage of total sales , ranging from 22 . 8
percent in 1965 to 43 . 67% in 1979 . Subsequent data for Los
Angeles County totalled 60.6 percent compacts in December 1980
and 61 .2 percent in March 19.81, which is the latest reporting
period available. Equivalent data for Orange County in. December
1980 and March 1981 equalled 64 .7 percent and 63 .6 percent,
respectively. Based on a continuation of the sales trends
identified by the L.A. Times, we estimate that compact car sales
will reach 75 percent by 1990, and that well over 60 percent of
the cars in use by 1990. will be compact.

ORDINANCE PROVISIONS IN OTHER CITIES
An inventory of the zoning ordinance provisions as they
relate to compact parking in commercial centers has been
conducted in 27 cities and 4 counties in the Southern California
area. Those jurisdictions which currently permit or are
considering . revision of their ordinance to permit compact
designated parking are presented in Table 2 with the applicable
parking criteria. Some other .cities indicated that although they
do not intend to ammend their ordinances , they do encourage
applications for variances to permit compact parking and
consider those requests on a case-by-case basis.
As shown in Table 2,. three jurisdictions are currently
considering ammending their ordinance to permit compact parking
while 10 others currently permit compact spaces ranging from 10
to 50 percent of total supply. The cities of Irvine and San
Diego permit 50 percent compact spaces, as does the County of
Orange with administrative review. The City of Los Angeles
recently .ammended their ordinance to permit 40 percent compacts
at commercial center.s in fulfillment of the code parking
requirements.
The dimensions of the compact space within each
ordinance are fairly consistent with the industry criteria of
7.5 feet by 15 feet, although there are some exceptions. Our
typical recommendation in a commercial setting is an 8-foot
width and a 15-foot length. We believe that the 8-foot width
provides greater flexibility in overall supply, eases vehicle
entry by shoppers with packages, and is appropriate, given the
parking turnover characteristics of a retail center.
PAST EXPERIENCES WITH COMPACT PARKING
Designation of compact parking at a shopping center is a
relatively new application of a practice which has been common
within a commercial office setting for many years. Extensive
studies have been conducted of office parking demand in a
"compact" versus "standard" context; Those studies, including
extended investigations at Newport Center by Linscott, Law &
Greenspan , Inc . . (1974-76) indicated the average number of
compacts to be approaching one-half of the total vehicles
observed. The Newport Center data ranged from 44 .9 percent in
1974 to 49 .4 percent in 1976. A 1980 study at a Fountain Valley
office/financial institution site yielded a 51 percent compact
oberservation-. Based on those studies, we typically recommend a
compact car allocation of at least one-third (33 percent) of the .
total parking supply when applied to office developments. This
figure has been developed to take into account the large number
of high value autos, which while they fall into the compact
category dimensionally, are not susceptible to. compact parking
because their owner desires a wider space
