provide additional parking spaces. The City recently redesigned a
public parking lot at the south east corner of Las Tunas Drive using the
Los Angeles County parking space dimensions and was able to gain
11 additional parking spaces. Additionally, the requirement to provide
off street parking spaces for outdoor dining areas for restaurants and
other food establishments conflicts with the City's vision of creating
pedestrian oriented environments in the City's commercial areas.
Section 9291 of Title 9, Chapter 1, Article J of the Municipal Code is
modified to accomplish the purpose of providing additional parking
spaces throughout the City. Also, Section 9296 of Title 9, Chapter 1,
Article J of the Municipal Code is modified to allow more opportunities
for pedestrian oriented environments.
SECTION 2. This project should result in no significant effects upon the
environment, a Negative Declaration has been prepared, and the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council adopt said Negative Declaration in accordance with
the State CEQA Guidelines. The initial statement as prepared indicates that there is no
potential for adverse impact to the environment as it relates to all wild animals, birds,
plants, fish, amphibians and related ecological communities, including the habitat upon
which the wildlife depends for its continued viability.
SECTION 3. The Planning Commission recommends modifying Section
9291 of Article J of Chapter 1 of Title 9 of the Municipal Code, and Section 9296 of
Article J of Chapter 1 of Title 9 of the Municipal Code to read as follows:
