SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO MODIFY
SECTION 9296 TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF NON-RESIDENTIAL
PARKING AND ALLOW COMPACT PARKING; AND MODIFY SECTION
9291 RELATING TO OUTDOOR DINING PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
BACKGROUND
Over the past year, the City Council, Planning Commission and Public Safety
Commission have expressed interest in the need to review and update the City's
parking codes and standards. This is partly due to on-going issues with the shortage of
parking in the City's downtown, as well as parking challenges in other commercial
centers in the City.
In October 2011, the City obtained the services of RBF Consulting to conduct a
downtown parking study and strategic plan, and a city-wide traffic calming study and
master plan, both of which are currently in progress. Additionally, staff has reviewed the
City's parking standards and recommends that the City reduce the minimum dimensions
of non-residential parking spaces and allow compact parking spaces to be consistent
with the Los Angeles County Code. Furthermore, staff is recommending that the
outdoor dining areas be exempt from requiring parking spaces.
DISCUSSION
The current parking size requirement for an off street parking space is a minimum nine
feet (9') wide and twenty feet (20') in length. The Los Angeles County Code allows
parking spaces to be a minimum of eight feet six inches (8'-6") in width and eighteen
feet (18') in length.
The City has received numerous complaints about the changes to time restricted
parking spaces in public parking lot 3, located at the south east corner of Las Tunas
Drive and Temple City Boulevard, behind the existing buildings. The City used the Los
Angeles County Code parking design standards to redesign the parking lot and was
able to gain an additional 11 parking spaces, increasing the capacity from 56 spaces to
Planning Commission: July 24, 2012 2
Parking Standard, Compact Parking and Outdoor Dining Area Code Amendments
67 spaces. This is an example of how the size reduction presents an opportunity to
provide more spaces and address the current parking shortage in the City's downtown.
The City Code currently does not allow compact parking spaces for required off street
parking spaces. The Los Angeles County Code requires that a compact parking space
be a minimum eight feet (8') in width and fifteen (15') in length. The Los Angeles County
Code allows up to forty percent (40%) of a parking lot to be compact spaces, which
need to be spread throughout the parking lot. Staff feels that allowing compact parking
spaces in off street lots would also provide additional needed parking spaces
throughout the City, in particular in the downtown. As an additional benefit to the City
arising out of allowing compact parking spaces in off street lots, our discussions with
national tenants has shown that some national tenants have a minimum number of off
street parking spaces required before they will consider a site.
Gas prices over the past seven years have nearly doubled in the Los Angeles region,
going from $2.15 a gallon in May 2005 and climbing up to $4.20 a gallon in May 2012.
The increase in gas prices has created a demand of consumers seeking more fuel
efficient vehicles, as opposed to inefficient sport utility vehicles. The rising demand has
influenced auto manufacturers to release new hybrid electric I gas and electric models
that fall under the compact or sub-compact vehicle category. The increased number of
smaller vehicles on the road is an additional reason why compact spaces and new
parking standards could provide additional parking.
Staff is recommending that the current requirement that additional parking spaces need
to be provided for outdoor dining areas for restaurants and other food establishments be
removed from the City's Zoning Code. The current requirement discourages restaurants
and other food establishments from creating outdoor pedestrian oriented environments.
Many restaurants and food establishments are not able to fully comply with required
parking based on interior and outdoor service area, so they would either not be allowed
or would require a zone variance approval. Such variances are required because they
do not have the number of parking spaces as may be strictly required by the code; for
example restaurants require 1 parking space for every 100 square feet of floor area and
general retail require one parking space for every 250 square feet of floor area.
Requiring consistent use of the zoning process conflicts with both the City's vision of
creating pedestrian oriented environments in the commercial areas and sound planning
practices. Therefore, it is recommended that the requirement be removed from Section
9291 of the Zoning Code. Although staff is recommending that the requirement be
removed, staff will still have the ability to review and approve outdoor dining areas
through its normal site plan review and occupancy and building permit procedures to
ensure compatibility with surrounding properties and that there will be minimal impacts.
In conclusion, staff feels that the proposed Code Amendments would help address
parking shortages throughout the City, particularly along Las Tunas Drive and
Rosemead Boulevard. The reduced size of non-residential parking spaces and the
permitting of compact parking spaces would increase the number of parking spaces for
Planning Commission: July 24, 2012 3

current properties and for future commercial developments. Staff also feels that the
parking space requirement for outdoor dining areas conflicts with the City's vision of
creating pedestrian oriented environments and recommends that it be removed from the
Zoning Code. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a
resolution recommending that the City Council amend the City's Zoning Code reducing
the size of non-residential parking spaces, allow compact parking spaces and remove
the requirement for outdoor dining areas.
On July 12, 2012, a public hearing notice regarding the proposed Code Amendments
relating to Sections to 9291 and 9296 was published in the Temple City Tribune. If
approved, the item will be heard before the City Council at their regular meeting on
August 7, 2012.

The Planning Commission of the City of Temple City does hereby resolve:
SECTION 1. Based upon information presented in Staff Reports dated
July 24, 2012, and based upon a Public Hearing on July 24, 2012 to consider an
amendment to the Zoning Code, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
1. There are existing parking supply and demand shortages within the
City that have created challenges in meeting the needs of residents,
visitors to the city, employees and customers of businesses within the
City, and to adequately accommodate business changes and
development requests. The off street parking conditions are
determined to be potentially detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare of the residents and businesses of the City.
2. The City has attempted to improve the parking supply by acquiring
property and developing several public parking lots in the downtown
area; allowing for resident parking by permit on several streets;
allowing loading zones for businesses; and encouraging modes of
travel other than automobile. Despite all these efforts, supply and
demand challenges continue to result in the public safety and
economic issues for residents and businesses and to adequately
address new business and development requests.
3. It is necessary for the City to reduce the size of the non-residential off
street parking spaces in order to allow the opportunity for existing
properties and future developments to provide additional parking.
Additionally, by allowing parking lots to have compact parking stalls
would also provide an opportunity for businesses and developers to
provide additional parking spaces. The City recently redesigned a
Resolution No. 12-2354 PC

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:

Applicant: CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
Type of Permit: DISCRETIONARY
FileNo: A ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO AMEND OFF-STREET PARKING
FACILITY DESIGN, PERMIT COMPACT SPACES, AND REDUCE
PARKING SPACES REQUIRED BY OUTDOOR DINING
Description of the project:
A Zoning Code Amendment to amend off-street parking facility design, permit compact
spaces, and reduce parking spaces required by outdoor dining.
The Zoning Code currently requires that any off-street parking space have a minimum of
20 feet in length and 9 feet in width; does not permit the use of compact spaces; and
requires that food establishments provide off-street parking for outdoor dining areas. The
proposed code amendment to Section 9291 will remove the requirement that food
establishments need to provide off street parking for outdoor dining areas; and amend
Section 9296 to reduce the size of off street parking facilities and to allow tor compact
parking spaces.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Page 1
DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
60. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION: The City is considering changing
the size of the parking standards to be consistent with the County. The City would
reduce the size of off street parking from nine feet (9') wide by twenty (20') feet
deep to eight feet six inches (8' -6") wide by eighteen feet {1 8') deep, and to allow
up to forty percent ( 40%) of compact parking spaces with a size of eight feet (8') by
fifteen feet (15'). By reducing the size of the parking spaces and permitted
compact parking, new businesses and private developers would be able to provide
more parking spaces on site to comply with the required number of spaces. The
City is restriped a public parking lot using the Los Angeles County standards and
was able to create 1 1 additional parking spaces. In order to be more business
friendly to restaurants and other food establishments, the City is considering
removing the requirement of providing off street parking spaces for outdoor dining
areas. The removal of the requirement would allow the City to be more business
friendly and create pedestrian friendly environments, which is a goal for the City. It
could be argued that this could potentially lead to an increase in traffic for popular
food establishments. However, the City (Planning staff) will review each proposed
outdoor dining area on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not the
outdoor dining area will have an impact on adjacent properties. If it is deemed that
a proposed outdoor dining area is out of scale or will have an impact, staff will
recommend reducing the size of the outdoor dining area or other conditions to
minimize the impacts to adjacent properties.
