§ 8176-3.8.3. Parking space reduction documentation.

The applicant shall provide documentation that describes the proposed parking reduction and identifies the parties responsible for implementing any parking measures associated with the proposed reduction. The documentation shall discuss the estimated parking demand for the land use, describe how parking demand will be met with the requested reduction, explain how the proposed measures will effectively decrease parking demand at the site, and include proposed performance targets for parking. Required documentation shall include information regarding specific parking reduction measures as described in Section 8176-3.8.1. Required documentation may also include existing parking counts, parking counts at similar land uses, calculation of future parking demand based on industry standards, the number of parking spaces on adjacent public streets, and identification of coastal access parking areas.

a.

Monitoring Reports. Monitoring reports shall be submitted to the Director three (3) years after building occupancy and again six (6) years after building occupancy. Monitoring reports shall identify daily, annual and, as applicable, seasonal peak parking periods based on a minimum of one (1) parking survey per year, unless a seasonal peak occurs in which case two (2) surveys per year will be required. The monitoring reports shall also describe the effectiveness of the approved parking reduction measures as compared to the initial performance targets. If necessary, the monitoring reports should provide suggestions for modifications to enhance parking availability or reduce parking demand. Where the monitoring reports indicate that performance measures are not met, the Director may require further program modifications or the provision of additional parking.

b.

Recordation. As a condition of approval of the parking reduction, the property owner, if different than the applicant, may be required to record agreements on the subject property prior to issuance of a land use permit to ensure that appropriate measures are implemented to justify the parking reduction.
