The Honorable City Council
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Jose E. Pulido, City Manager }�
By: Joseph M. Lambert, Community Development Managed
SUBJECT: UPDATE REGARDING REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO LARGE
COMMERCIAL PARKING LOTS WITHIN TEMPLE CITY.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is requested to review Ordinance No. 06-915 which regulates parking
lots with more than 50 spaces. Staff recommends that the City Council select one of
the three following options:
Option One: Refer this matter to the Public Safety Commission for review and
possible amendments to Ordinance No. 06-915 (TCMC Section 3337);
Option Two: Refer this matter to the Planning Commission for review and possible
amendments to TCMC 9290 (part of the Zoning Code); and/or
Option Three: Direct staff not to make any changes to Ordinance No. 06-915 (TCMC
Section 3337) or TCMC 9290.
BACKGROUND:
1. On February 1, 2011, the City Council asked staff to prepare a report regarding
the history of the "Large Parking Lot" ordinance adopted in 2006, Ordinance No.
06-915. This was in response to concerns regarding the installation of wheel
stops and other improvements at the Temple City Plaza, (i.e., the K -Mart Shopping
center).
2. On December 5, 2006, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 06-915 to provide
additional safeguards for all parking lots with 50 or more spaces within the City,
unless they serve a non-commercial, residential, park, or school area. Ordinance
No. 06-915 added Section 3337 to the Public Safety portion of the Temple City
Municipal Code.

ANALYSIS:
In reviewing the staff report from 2006, it seems that Ordinance No 06-915 was drafted to
provide additional safeguards for all large parking lots within the City, whether owned by
one entity or multiple entities and tied together by a reciprocal parking agreement. The
Ordinance includes language regarding maintenance, lighting, landscaping and physical
layout. There are also regulations to ensure optimal circulation patterns in all future
parking lots containing more than 50 spaces. It is staff's assessment that this Ordinance
was adopted specifically to address large parking lots such as the one at Temple City
Plaza, (i.e., the K -Mart Shopping center).
Article 9290 of the Temple City Municipal Code regulates all off street parking facilities,
regardless of the size of the parking facility. This Code Section sets forth the required
number of parking spaces required for all uses, and also regulates the layout and design
of parking lots. However, this Code provides minimal regulations regarding landscaping,
lighting, and other development standards for parking lots.
Temple City Municipal Code (TCMC) Sections 3337 and 9290 both regulate parking
lots within the City, and a copy of both Code Sections is attached for City Council
review. Section 9290 applies to all parking lots and is much more general in nature.
Section 3337 applies only to large parking Tots (i.e., 50 spaces or more) and contains
specific maintenance, landscaping, and lighting restrictions. This Code Section also
specifically requires wheel stops for large parking lots, whereas TCMC Section 920
does not.
CONCLUSION:
The City Council directed staff to bring back more information regarding TCMC Section
3337 in response to concerns regarding the installation of wheel stops and other
improvements at the Temple City Plaza. If it is the desire of the City Council to omit the
language requiring wheel stops in large parking lots, then staff can prepare a Code
Amendment to this effect. If said Code Amendment affects only TCMC 3337, then staff
suggests taking the Code Amendment to the Public Safety Commission for a
recommendation. If the direction is to amend TCMC 9290 (part of the Zoning Code) then
staff suggests taking the Code Amendment to the Planning Commission for a
recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This item does not have an impact on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11 City Budget.
