This District includes the blocks on either side of and including Main Street, and constitutes the oldest commercial area'in the City. The purpose of this District is to re-establish the area as the Downtown for the City by creating a more urban atmosphere, encouraging relatively higher intensity development with viable commercial office and residential uses. View corridors along with height and orientation restrictions in the development requirements of this District are intended to focus development on the Main Street corridor. The Main Street-pier axis is intended to be an active, vital and interesting pedestrian way, intersecting with and complementing the visitor-serving commercial area on PCH and the pier area. The District promotes mixed uses of commercial, office and residential developments. Boundaries. District #5 includes the area from the alley between 6th and 5th Streets to the alley between 3rd and 2nd Streets and the Lake Street frontage (on the northwest side) from Walnut to Orange Avenues.

The Downtown Master design concept must concentrate on the City pier, realizing that all other areas within the Downtown are linked either directly or indirectly to the pier . The level of energy and excitement generated at the pier-head area needs to be capitalized upon and spread through the Downtown core. The pier area has the potential to accommodate a great deal of activity by offering a variety of uses and services . However, developments at the pier should also be scaled to a pedestrian level with passive activities given equal consideration with more vigorous activities . Pedestrian boardwalks on various levels and the pier itself will offer views of the ocean and ocean activities . The overall form and shape of all development in Downtown Huntington Beach should allow people to see the- ocean from as many places as possible. The pier area will continue to serve as the major attraction in the City and should become the major activity node for the Downtown area. The Master Plan identifies the pier-head and the area immediately across Pacific Coast Highway from the pier as the focus for the greatest intensity of future activity and development . The interdependence of public and private development activities can create this major activity node at the pier-head. It is important to emphasis the development of this node and encourage this activity to extend up Main Street inland from the ocean and to encourage pedestrian movement along the street. By expanding this activity from the pier, the commercial core along Main Street can become a lively shopping thoroughfare oriented to pedestrians and offering opportunities to shop, dine or browse in an ocean-related atmosphere. ��,2 LEGEND 1.

Pacific Coast Highway 9 ` I I 1 �p. 2 Main Street activities should extend inland to a second major activity node proposed for the northern terminus of the downtown core at Sixth Street . The activities in this area should be of a year-round variety, providing the convenience of neighborhood shopping and the clustering of public and private services, along with new opportunities for li-wing within walking distance of the ocean. The prospect of two major activity nodes within walking distance of each other on opposite ends of the Main Street commercial corridor will tend to encourage additional activities between these two locations . The Master Plan for the Downtown core is intended to be compatible with the adjacent transitional areas and the surrounding residential neighborhoods . Outside of the Downtown core, the plan calls for commercial uses which are intended to be compatible with the existing residential uses immediately adjacent, and also to enhance and reinforce the primarily residential character of the area . The establishment of a secure private residential uses adjacent to, but adequately buffered from, the public areas is one of the objectives of the plan. DOWNTOWN PROJECTS To date the City has approved several projects within the downtown core, thus setting the stage and context for future projects . The attached map and chart illustrates the nature and scope of development which have either been built or have received entitlements to build. 1.

The definitions that are available in the literature are abundant and diverse. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has identified seven principles which help to create a village. Principle No . 1 - Promote Diversity of Use The basic objective in revitalizing the downtown economy is to attract more people more frequently and hold them as long as possible by creating a variety of reasons to come and to stay. Principle No . 2 - Emphasize Compactness The downtown should be compact and walkable, with a tight physical structure and an efficient spacing arrangement . Principle No. 3 - Foster Intensity Development densities should establish downtown as the community' s central place. But care is required to ensure that new large scale projects do not overwhelm Downtown' s existing character or market potential . Principle No . 4 - Ensure Balance Day and evening as well as weekday and weekend activity generators should be interspersed to capitalize on the full economic development potential of a multi-use approach. Principle No . 5 - Provide Accessibility A clear emphasis on pedestrian use must be established in the downtown core if walking and street activity are to be encouraged. A positive balance between vehicular and pedestrian use of the street must be established. Principle No. 6 - Create Functional Linkages People must be able to walk between activity centers . Pedestrian connections should link the Downtown' s major anchors and should connect the core area with adjacent neighborhoods . Principle No. 7 - Build a Positive Identity Retailing, culture, entertainment, recreation and special events programming, create an identity for a downtown. -5- The question which is raised after examining these principles is how do they translate into practical development standards which accurately reflect a village concept for Huntington Beach. The seven principles above truly apply to almost any successful Downtown. The key to a village concept is to achieve them in a less intense, less urban atmosphere, with a greater sense pedestrian scale. Within these parameters we recognized the need to find a balance between competing forces which influence the type of development proposed. The intent in recommending changes always considered protecting and serving residential neighborhoods, while still allowing for the expansion of visitor/tourist activities . We also recognized the need to develop both a nighttime and daytime population that thrives during all seasons of the year . Staff believes that additional new criteria also needs to be analyzed by the City Council as part of the updated Downtown Specific Plan. In proposing revisions to the Downtown Specific Plan, staff limited the scope of changes to three (3) basic issues : 1. Determine the type and location of of uses most appropriate for the downtown. 2 . Identify the intensity of uses for the downtown. 3 . Scale the architectural massing, building form and site layout for the Downtown. -6- Mo. 2 ISSUE 1 - DETERMINING THE MOS-T• APPROPRIATE TYPE AND LOCATION OF USES COMMERCIAL Commercial uses should be concentrated along Main Street between the Pacific Coast Highway and Sixth Street . Commercial uses should also extend along the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway between Sixth Street and Lake Street and to a limited extent on the oceanside of Pacific Coast Highway at the pier-head. The ground floor in these areas should be exclusively commercial retail and restaurant uses . Second floor commercial should be permitted, however, limited to those areas and activities which can take advantage of ocean views . Other commercial opportunities should be allowed in the transition areas along Fifth Street and Third Streets, however, commercial in these areas should not be mandatory. The commercial use along Main Street should transition from Visitor Serving Commercial in the first block to general retail in the third and fourth block. Development incentives should be considered to encourage uses which enhance pedestrian activity on Main Street like bookstores, record shops, art galleries, fast food outlets, etc. Incentives should also be offered to retail uses which provide services for Downtown residents such as barber shops, beauty salons, food market and other take home food vendors . One incentive could be a reduction in the required parking By creating the identified commercial needs and providing incentives to certain businesses, the City Council will be recognizing the divergent demands for the downtown. It will also send a message to the business community as to the type of businesses needed to create a lively and vital atmosphere. This concept will accomadate approximately 90, 000 square feet of restaurant uses, 250, 000 square feet of general retail, a 1, 750 seat theatre and a 12 unit bed and breakfast complex, based upon existing, proposed and anticipated projects . -7- OFFICE The most critical and problematic element of creating an active daytime population for the downtown rests with the amount of office space provided. Offices support restaurants, shops, personal and business services, hotels, and the surrounding residential . However, economically office space moves a project from black to red ink due to the current weak demand. As a result, the development community is hesistent to provide office space in a mixed use project . In order for office use to be considered viable development incentives and/or subsidizing may be necessary, for the short term. As additional development occurs, and the downtown becomes more active, we believe there will be a greater desire to lease office space. Office space in the commercial areas should be prohibited from the street level unless it can be demonstrated that they are pedestrian oriented. Pedestrian oriented office uses could be used to occupy a small percentage of a the overall frontage. This concept will accomadate approximately 70, 000 square feet of office space based on existing, proposed and anticipated projects . RESIDENTIAL Currently residential development drives the economic decisions for downtown development . Projects "pencil" based on the number of residential units proposed in mixed use projects . The location of residential units is very imnportant to this plan. Staff believes that residential uses should be prohibited at the street level within the commercial areas . Resistance to the development of residential at street level will help to maintain the integrity of the pedestrian atmosphere which has to be created for successful revitalization. Residential uses should be distributed in varying densities around the Main Street core. It would also be appropriate for residential units to be constructed above the second level of the street facade if setback far enough so as not to detract from the pedestrian character of Main Street. This project will accomadate approximately 500 new residential units in the downtown core with an additional 500-700 units in the surrounding area, based on existing, proposed and anticipated projects . -8- n ISSUE 2 - IDENTIFY THE INTENS-ITY OF USES COMMERCIAL Currently the Downtown Specific Plan allows projects to be developed up to eight (8) stories in height (approximately 90-100 feet) and have a floor area ratio of 3 . 5 (3 . 5 x lot area) given a full block consolidation in certain areas . This intensity of development is economically unrealistic and undesirable considering the intensity of new projects in the area . The original thinking behind the plan was to allow for the widest range of opportunities and not preclude any one option. Many of these development standards may be inconsistent with the village concept. The existing Downtown Specific Plan regulations have put too much emphasis on the ratio of commercial square footage for each project . Staff would recommend that the current ratio of 50 % commercial to 50% residential for each block be reduced to one-third (1/3) commercial to two-thirds (2/3) residential ratio. This would still allow for approximately 400, 000-500, 000 square feet of commercial and office development in the Downtown Core. A major factor in achieving the village concept with the commercial uses can be accomplished by keeping as many existing established retail tenants as possible. Individual names are as much a part of the existing downtown feel as is the existing intensity of development . OFFICE The Downtown Master Plan encourages office use, however, there are no specific standards in the DTSP that relate to office use. Staff suggests that the intensity of all future projects be encouraged to provide some office space. Staff would recommend that the parking requirements for office space be reduced significantly to facilitate office development . -9- RESIDENTIAL Currently, the DTSP has a graduated density calculation for residential development based on lot size and frontage. Typically the densities range as follows : LOT SIZE (FRONTAGE) MAXIMUM DENSITY HEIGHT Less than 100 feet 1 DU/2, 000 sf lot area 3 stories 21 DU/acre 100 feet up to but less 1 DU/1, 360 sf lot area 3-6 stories than a full block 32 DU/acre Full block 35 DU/Acre 6-8 stories There are pros and cons to this method of encouraging property consolidation through higher densities . Some planners believe that you achieve a more cohesive and better integrated project when you develop an entire block. Circulation patterns become more fluid, driveways are minimized, and there are reduced conflicts with adjacent properties . The other school of thought believes that to only allow the higher densities on large parcels, encourages massive projects . A certain rythm to the street pattern is lost when lot consolidation is encouraged. There may be situations where the City' s affordable housing needs require higher densities on less than a full block. There are other circumstances when the adjacent developed properties are better indicators of the proper density for a site. The concept of lot consolidation may not be consistent with the existing nature of old town/town lot residential . High Density consolidations tend to overwhelm the existing area and may be contradictory to a village concept. Staff would recommend that the City Council maintain the graduated density scale for residential projects with an amendment to only allow 35 DU/acre on parcels having 100 feet of frontage if 25% of the units were devoted to affordable housing as defined by the Housing Element . This may be the first step toward encouraging the development of affordable housing units to meet the redevelopment law requirements . Staff estimates that the Main Pier Redevelopment project area will have to provide at least 500 affordable housing units in order to comply with the law. This is exclusive of replacing affordable units removed through redevelopment actions . -10- ISSUE 3 - SCALE OF DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT The village concept is guided by principles of creating a greater emphasis on pedestrian orientation and recognizing the role of architectural design as it relates to the street. It is important to remember that linkages between blocks need to exist if the downtown is to be successful . The intent of the Master Plan is to incorporate into the area a strong, recognizable physical image and identity. This can be accomplished by coordinating several related design features, for example: - Building architecture to reinforce a consistent theme or style of architecture. - An architectural style responsive to the climate and location including the following : plain wall surfaces built of stucco or block-smooth surfaces, background wall colors from white to pastel shades, inset windows shaded from sunlight, brightly colored awnings, window boxes, flower pots , light fixtures and other building accents such as entry doors, creation of shade for pedestrians by use of awnings and courtyards, minimum of "reflective" glass, outdoor eating and pedestrian areas to maximize views to the ocean. - Streetscape elements should be brightly colored accent elements played off against the white and pastel of the building forms and shapes . - Public areas should be integrated into development proposals in key locations or in conjunction with major consolidation projects . -11- Y Signage, landscaping, -and lighting should be used to create the visual character of the area. Graphic elements should be bright colors to contrast with the background architecture. Landscaping should be used as an identify element to provide interest and character to specific locations . This concept will provide a logical, coherent, unified network of land uses, activities and circulation systems . Landscaping materials for Downtown should be scaled and clustered to establish a visual identity and extensively used for buffering in transitional areas . The height limits for all new development should be limited to a maximum of three (3) and four (4) stories with the Main Street frontage limited to one (1) and two (2) stories, except at the intersect of Main and Pacific Coast Highway where a large building bulk could be accomodated. The Pavilion project and Third Block West development should be the upper limits for height in the downtown. Ideally, Townsquare should anchor the northern part of the Downtown Core. These developments should serve as the cornerstones of the downtown and attempt to plan within their dictates . However, creating a village is not achieved soley by regulating the height of the buildings that line the street . Rather, the more critical relationship is the one formed between the pedestrian and the street level building facade. The street level must be designed to engage our attention. There should not be block walls to the street but rather windows, displays, doorways, alcoves and outdoor cafes . The possibility of interaction between inside and outside is extended also to upper floors by providing balconies . These design considerations are of primary importance to the street life created. -12- I`10 ,2 CONCLUSION The Downtown area has long served as an area of mixed uses and activities . This area contains the City' s initial commercial core and the original residential neighborhoods ; along with the recreational and oil production resources which have contributed to the City' s identity. The Downtown is comprised of a number of very distinct areas . The transitional area surrounding the Downtown core should ensure a gradual coordinated change in terms of heights, scale and uses, between Main. Street and the adjacent residential areas . Main Street should continue to serve as a commercial core with an emphasis on retail activities, however, an option for office, residential or additional retail activities above the first floor can be allowed. This multi-use aspect is intended to create a lively place to be day or night for both visitors and residents . Main Street should maintain a pedestrian-oriented shopping street character . Commercial uses should be required on the ground floor with building fronts close to the sidewalk to establish a more intimate scale. In order to afford the visual, climatic and recreation amenities of this unique area to a greater number of people, higher residential densities should be provided. Offices should be encouraged to located in this district in order to help establish the desired Downtown atmosphere. The commercial emphasis on Main Street can be achieved with varying intensities, providing the commercial link between Orange Avenue and pier along Main Street is not broken at the pedestrian level . This district should encourage rehabilitation as well as new development . The larger scale new development should not detract from smaller infill projects, rehabilitation and new developed should be scaled and designed with this intent . The Downtown Master Plan proposes to continue this combination of uses and activities with designations which provide for mixed-use activities . The mixed-use designation is intended to encourage but control a variety of uses . (8235d) -13- LEGEND A. Main Pier Two B. Pierside Pavillion/Pier Colony C. Second Block Rehab. D. H.B. Promenade E.

Shared parking is defined as parking that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict or encroachment . Shared parking can be considered when there are variations in the peak accumulation of parked vehicles . Generally, as the result of different activity patterns of adjacent or nearby land uses (by hour, by day, by season) . It can also be considered when relationships among land use activities result in attraction to two or more uses on a single auto trip to a given area . The City' s zoning regulations are expressed in terms of peak parking indices or ratios for major types of individual land uses . Thus, existing parking requirements may be overstated by requiring space for the peak parking requirement of each individual land use. Realistically, the peak parking demand for individual land uses in a mixed-land use development can occur at different times . It usually occurs by hour of day, but it is also significant by day of week or season. Further, the proximity of the land uses encourages multiple-purpose trips in which people attracted to a mixed-use development visit more than one land use. Therefore, a single parking space can be used to serve several land uses . -1- I�o . 3 LEGEND A. Main Pier Two B. Pierside Pavillion/Pier Colony C. Second Block Rehab. D. H.B. Promenade E.

Mixed-use developments are defined as developments having three or more significant revenue-producing land uses . In addition it should provide significant functional and physical integration of project components (including continuous pedestrian connections) . A mixed-use area should provide coherent development plan specifying project phasing, scheduling, land uses, and other characteristics . The Downtown Master Plan is intended to provide for mixed-use projects which will serve as a catalysts for revitalization and create a unique and interesting place which incorporates land uses that extend daytime activity periods into the evening. Combining land uses has a number of advantages, including the opportunity to take advantage of a captive market, certain economies of scale, and cost savings associated with a reduction in the amount of parking required. In order for the revitalization of the Downtown to be effective there must be an adequate amount of easily accessible public parking . The preparation of a shared parking plan deals with more detailed issues and relationships than traditional analyses of parking demand. Knowledge of the site and intended land use therefore becomes more important. In addition to square footage of uses, it is necessary to describe both the physical and anticipated functional relationships between the land uses . While the physical relationships concern the basic layout , distances between land uses, surrounding uses, proximity to transportation and other parking facilities are equally important . -3- IV.O, 3 THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN EXISTING, PROPOSED AND ANTICIPATED LAND USES BLOCK RETAIL RESTAURANT OFFICE OTHER RESIDENTIAL A 45, 000 sf 10, 000 sf 10, 000 sf 12 Unit/ 112 du Bed & Break.

The area is centered around the Main Street commercial corridor. The Downtown Master Plan anticipates 250, 000 square feet of general retail, 90, 000 square feet of restaurant uses, 70, 000 square feet of office space, a 1, 750 seat theatre project and a small bed and breakfast facility. The required parking by City standards would be a total of approximately 2, 550 parking spaces in order to meet the anticipated demand. However, a shared parking concept for this mixed-use area can succeed if properly planned with convenient public parking opportunities and easy pedestrian access . The true parking demand can then be reduced by a factor of approximately 20-25%, thus requiring fewer spaces with each individual project. The Downtown Parking Master Plan does not address any residential parking concerns . All residential parking should be required to be satisfied on-site for each project . However, a reduction in residential parking requirements may be proposed in conjunction with new types of residential units . Estimating the overall parking demand for a mixed-use development simply by adding the peak parking requirements for individual land uses produces an estimate that is too high. Actual peak parking demand is substantially less than the gross peak parking requirement. There are three factors which should be considered in projecting the actual parking demand for mixed-use areas : 1 . Time Differentials 2 . Captive Market 3 . Market Synergy -5- mo , 3 l 7 'sue I 3 s H an t G ' Orange Ave. r 1 Vl Olive Ave. I � C D ' V E Ave. — I n - PacMle Coast Highway � J DOWNTOWN PARKING DEMAND BASED ON CURRENT CODE Block Retail Restaurant Office Other Total 33 sp 15 sp 373 sp A 225 sp 100 sp 583 sp 1 ,046 sp B 172 sp 238 sp 53 sp 340 sp C 200 sp 100 sp 40 sp 173 sp p 120 sp 40 sp 13 sp 27 sp 127 sp 117 sp E 100 sp 67 sp F 50 sp 150 sp G 150 sp — 150 sp H 150 sp 75 sp I 25 sp 50 sp _ Total 1 ,192 sp 528 sp 233 sp 598 sp 2,551 sp —6— It10 . 3 TIME DIFFERENTIALS The first factor is to determine the time differentials for the various mix of land uses . Estimates need to be conservative for peak parking demand and fluctuation factors (hourly, daily and seasonal) in order for estimated shared parking supply to be higher than actual parking demand. In order for this concept to be successful findings must be made that shared parking is sensitive to the amount of land use, the specific land uses involved, and the combinations of land uses . To obtain the maximum potential for shared parking, land uses with dissimilar demand patterns need to be combined. The land uses in mixed-use areas must produce peak demands of similar orders of magnitude to achieve the maximum reductions in parking spaces required as the result of time differentials . If the magnitudes differ then adjustment must be made in the reduction assumptions . The shared parking concept makes the following assumptions : ° Office/Retail use • Weekdays, retail parking demand is lower than on Saturday but competes with office parking demand. • Weekend retail parking demand increases is accommodated by the decrease in weekend office parking demand. Entertainment use • Peak parking demand coincides during evening hours . • Differences for the day of the week are significant, weekend evening is the highest demand. C Retail/Entertainment use • Midday peak in retail parking demand complements the evening peak in entertainment parking demand. However, the potential for evening shopping hours may limit shared parking on weekends . ° Beach/Entertainment/Retail • Weekend midday will be highest potential for conflict . Therefore, hourly, daily, and seasonal differences in the peak parking demand for various land uses in a mixed-use development make shared parking possible. Based on the above assumptions a reduction in the necessary parking requirements are appropriate in determining the actual parking demand in the Downtown area . - - -7- TIME DIFFERENTIALS HOURLY DEMAND BY PERCENTAGE OF PEAK HOUR Hour Office Retail Restaurant Theatre of Day Weekday Saturday Weekday Saturday Weekday Saturday Daily 6:00 a.m. 3% 7:00 a.m. 20 20 8 3 2 2 _ 8:00 a.m. 63 60 18 10 5 3 _ 9:00 a.m. 93 80 42 30 10 6 _ 10:00 a.m. 100 80 68 45 20 8 _ 11 :00 a.m. 100 100 87 73 30 10 _ 12:00 Noon 90 100 97 85 50 30 30% 1 :00 P.M. 90 80 100 95 70 45 70 2:00 p.m. 97 60 97 100 60 45 70 3:00 p.m. 93 40 95 100 60 45 70 4:00 p.m. 77 40 87 90 50 45 70 5:00 p.m. 47 20 79 75 70 60 70 6:00 p.m. 23 20 82 65 90 90 80 7:00 p.m. 7 20 89 60 100 95 90 8:00 p.m. 7 20 87 55 100 100 100 9:00 P.M. 3 _ 61 40 100 100 100 10:00 P.M. 3 _ 32 38 90 95 100 11 :00 P.M. _ _ 13 13 70 85 80 12:00 Mid— _ _ _ 50 70 70 night MONTHLY VARIATIONS AS PERCENTAGE OF PEAK MONTH Month Office Retail Restaurant Theatre January 100% 65% 80% 90% February 100 65 75 70 March 100 70 90 50 April 100 70 90 70 May 100 70 95 70 June 100 75 100 100 July 100 75 100 100 August 100 75 85 70 September 100 75 80 80 October 100 75 80 70 November 100 80 - - 80 50 December 100 100 90 50 —8— J CAPTIVE MARKET The second factor is refered to as the captive market, a term to address the inner relationship of land uses . Certain land use relationships in mixed-use projects produce a greater reduction in parking demand. For example, office employees and downtown residents supporting retail uses, retail patrons supporting entertainment uses and Downtown employees supporting restaurant uses . Although the captive market effect in mixed-use areas can significantly reduce parking demand in Downtown Huntington Beach there will be a limited amount of office uses (15% of the overall gross leasable area) and the majority of the Downtown employees will be working in the various food outlets . Therefore, an over all reduction in the proposed parking requirements should be limited in consideration of this factor . The true impacts of a captive market can only be determined after a user survey has been conducted. MARKET SYNERGY Third factor is that of a compounding attraction, a greater number of uses relate to a greater attraction. The effect of market synergy is to create a market demand exceeding that which would occur in developments with a single land use. Market synergism, however, does not necessarily translate into a corresponding increase in parking requirements; it may result in a reduction because of the reduced demand for parking per land use as the result of a number land uses within walking distance of each other, which allows individuals to patronize more than one destination on a single trip . Therefore, whether or not the net effect of market synergy is to increase or decrease parking requirements depends upon whether or not the market support from complementary sources are included in the analysis of each type of land use. Although limited this impact on the Downtown parking requirements should be included in an over all reduction. -9- �„10 . 3 1 3 I 1 S e, I H 1 G I Orange Ave. 1 in Olive Ave. 1 C D 1 A ` B - <' 1 " Pacitio Coast Highway J -------i --------- DOWNTOWN PARKING SUPPLY Total Adjusted Total On—site On—street ParkinSupping Parking Block Required Parking Parking Demand 50 sp 250 sp 291 sp A 373 sp 200 sp 310 sp 815 sp B 1 ,046 sp 300 sp 10 sp 258 sp C 340 sp 882 sp 33 sp 50 sp 50 sp 93 sp 133 sp D 173 sp 832 sp 50 sp 195 sp 112 sp E 127 sp 145 sp 50 sp 145 sp 110 sp F 117 sp 95 sp 40 sir— 100 sp 120 sp G 150 sp 60 sp 75 sp 150 sp 128 sp H 150 sp 75 sp 30 sp 15 sp 45 sp 75 sp I 75 sp Total 2,551 sp 1 ,770 sp 400 sp 2,170 sp 2,050 sp —10— ma , 3 CONCLUSION The location of parking in relation to Downtown commercial areas is constrained by the availability of land, its high cost (either in dollars or in lost opportunities) and the distance which people are willing to walk from centralized lots or sturctures to reach their destination. Studies have shown that in order to receive optimum utilization by shoppers, a parking facility should bw within 300-400 feet of the commercial use which it serves . For workers, or other people who are parking for the whole day, the distance can be as great as 1, 500 feet. These constraints must be considered when evaluating possible locations for parking facilities . Parking spaces for Downtown shoppers should be provided at an expanded number of curb spaces and in off-street parking lots and in parking structures located within or immediatley adjacent to the Downtown area . Parking controls, such as time limits and parking rates, should be adjusted to maintain the desired use of these spaces by shoppers and employees . As specific projects are developed, such as certain commercial, office and/or residential complexes, their individual parking needs will be identified and satisfied through the construction of specific and related parking facilities . These parking spaces should be controlled to varying degrees and not open to general public use. New commercial and restaurant development on the beach side of Pacific Coast Highway, on or adjacent to the pier, should be constructed on top of a decked parking structure which could be open to the public and would provide parking structures which could be open to the public and would provide parking for a variety of patrons of the pier facilities, the restaurants, and could serve as additional parking for the commercial establishments along Main Street, as well as the beach users . Since the periods of peak parking demand for these different types of users vary to some extent, the utilization of the parking structure will be improved and parking revenues from it will be increased. New parking anticipated for the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway should not be included in the calculation for available Downtown parking supply, when and if constructed will serve as overflow parking in the evenings for the inland commercial uses . Public participation in providing parking will help to encourage uses which otherwise may not be viable. The City could form parking assesment District, or construct parking structures . Merchants could then lease space in these structures on an annual fee basis or by setting up a system of validated parking . As new development occurs, each developer could be assessed an in-lieu fee to offset the costs of building parking structures nearby, thus satisfying parking requirements . -11- �,0 , 3 e \ 1 y�3 1 J} °n r 1 G m !
