§ 21.41.226. Special parking requirements for CNP district.

The number of required parking spaces for uses in the CNP zone district are specified as follows:

A.

In area D of the coastal zone (Second Street, between Livingston Drive and Bayshore Avenue), the parking in the CNP district shall be one-half (½) of the parking required in Chapter 21.41, Table 41-1C. In all other areas of the coastal zone and outside the coastal zone, parking in the CNP district shall be as required in Chapter 21.41, Table 41-1C. Any new parking provided, or reconfiguration of existing parking facilities, in area D of the coastal zone can utilize tandem parking subject to the provisions of Subsection 21.41.235.B of the tandem parking regulations.

1.

Restaurants. The one-half (½) parking standard shall not apply to restaurants (new and reuse/conversion of existing nonrestaurant lease spaces) which shall conform to full parking standards. This Subsection does not apply to ready to eat restaurants (as defined in Section 21.15.2332), which may utilize the one-half (½) parking standard.

2.

Determination of nonconforming rights. Owners of properties with nonconforming parking rights within area D of the coastal zone may apply for site plan review to obtain a determination of nonconforming parking rights. Such determination will establish the number of nonconforming spaces that applies to the property at the time of the request and will allow the property to maintain nonconforming parking rights to the established number of spaces regardless of change in use of the existing buildings.

B.

Outdoor dining. In area D of the coastal zone (Second Street, between Livingston and Bayshore), outdoor dining on private property shall require the same parking as required for indoor dining.

C.

Within established parking district. If the site to be developed or expanded is located within a parking district established pursuant to the laws of the State of California or local ordinances, the required parking spaces shall be provided as follows:

1.

For a new development on a lot with gross lot area less than five thousand (5,000) square feet, or for any expansion of an existing building, the development may, in lieu of providing all or part of required off-street parking on-site or within six hundred feet (600′) of the site, pay a fee to the parking district based on the cost of providing such parking. The amount of the in lieu fee shall be established by the City Council by resolution and shall be reviewed periodically to assure its adequacy to cover the cost of providing parking under this provision.

2.

For a new development on a lot with gross lot area of five thousand (5,000) square feet or more, a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the required parking shall be provided on the site, or within six hundred feet (600′) of the site. The remaining required parking may be provided by an in lieu fee as described above.

3.

All existing parking provided for or leased by any business shall hereinafter be the minimum required for the existing use on that site. If the parking now required exceeds that established pursuant to Subsection 21.41.226.A, the parking now provided may not be reduced below that required in Table 41-1C.
