shown to have lower parking ratios than typical City code. These include the <br />following: <br />Site City Address Size <br />Parking <br />Demand <br />Ratio per DU <br />Adagio on the Green Mission Viejo 2660 Oso Parkway 256 Unit 1.45 <br />Skye at Laguna Niguel Laguna Niguel 28100 Cabot Road 142 Unit 1.49 <br />Apex Laguna Niguel Laguna Niguel 27960 Cabot Road 284 Unit 1.28 <br /> <br />Furthermore, as discussed below, parking demand/empirical ratio compilations from <br />other sources, including nearby jurisdictions with similar transit oriented districts, <br />demonstrate that the City Code’s parking ratio requirements are substantially higher <br />than actual demand. <br />Table 2 presents a comparison of the residential parking ratios from the City as <br />included in the City’s TZC and the City’s Municipal Code, plus other sources which <br />located in a similar downtown setting with multiple modes of travel. These additional <br />parking codes include: <br />1. City of Long Beach Downtown Plan: The City of Long Beach Downtown <br />Plan embraces a “park once” philosophy that focuses on walkability and <br />transit options, and encourages high-density, transit-oriented development as <br />a means to minimize overall trips. Like the TZC, the Long Beach Downtown <br />Plan Area is served by multiple transit options, including bus lines (as a <br />central feature of the downtown area) and train lines, and pedestrian <br />movements include substantial walking and biking shares. Source, City of <br />Long Beach Downtown Plan dated January 2012 prepared by AECOM. <br />2. Proposed City of San Diego Municipal Code Parking Ratios for Transit <br />Areas: The City of San Diego is proposing changes to its parking ratios for <br />transit priority areas, which are areas within one-half mile of a major transit <br />stop. A major transit stop includes the intersection of two or more major bus <br />routes with a frequency service interval of 15 minutes or less during the <br />morning and afternoon peak commute periods. To determine appropriate <br />parking rates, the City undertook testing of multifamily sites. The City found <br />that 89% of the sites sampled had lower demand than the tested ratio.1 For <br />projects in the downtown area, 100% of the sample sites had lower parking <br />demand than one space per unit. Conservatively the ratios identified in Table <br />1 See the City of San Diego Planning Department’s Transit Priority Area (TPA) Multifamily Parking Update (available at <br />https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/ppt_-_tpa_parking_program_overview_cpc.pdf). 1- 114
