AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING PARKING
REQUIREMENTS FOR OFFICE BUILDINGS OVER 100,000
SQUARE FEET IN AREA AND PROVIDING FOR REDUCED
PARKING FOR MIXED USE PROJECTS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
1. Studies show that parking requirements for large mid- and high-
rise offices are lower than for garden office projects;
2. Peak parking demand for different uses varies by hour, day and
month;
3. Peak parking periods for separate uses within a mixed use project
can be canplimentary thereby reducing the total parking requirement;
4. Requiring more parking than is needed unnecessarily increases
velopment costs and can be detrimental to the environment by causing
excessive amounts of land area to be covered by impervious materials;
ACCORDINGLY, the City Council of the City of Costa. Mesa hereby mends
the Costa Mesa Municipal Code as hereinafter set forth:
SECTION 2.
1. Amend Section 13-552(1) to read:.
"Office uses (except as identified below) and retail stores - 4
spaces per 1000 square feet of gross floor area with minimum of 6
spaces.
Office buildings exceeding 2 stories in height and 100,000 square
feet in area - 3 spaces per. 1000 square feet of gross floor area."
2. Amend Section 13-554 to read:
"PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS
[nen there are mixed uses within a single development which share the
same parking facilities, the total requirement for parking shall be deter-
mined as outlined in "City of Costa Mesa Procedure for Determining Shared
Parking Requirements" which is included herein as Exhibit A and which may
be amended fron time to time by resolution of the City Council following
receipt of the report and recommendation of the Planning Commission and
upon a duly noticed public hearing. A greater reduction in parking than
would be allowed under this procedure may be approved by Conditional Use
Permit where it can be demonstrated that less parking is needed due to the
hours of operation or other unusual features of the users involved."
SECTION 3.
This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force thirty (30) days
from and after the passage thereof, and prior to the expiration of fifteen
(15) days from its passage shall be published once in the ORANGE COAST
DAILY PILOT, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in
the City of Costa Mesa or, in the alternative, the City Clerk may cause to
be published a summary of this Ordinance and a certified copy of the text
of this Ordinance shall be posted in the office of the City Clerk five (5)
days prior to the date of adoption of this Ordinance, and within fifteen
(15) days after adoption, the City Clerk shall cause to be published the
aforementioned sutmary and shall post in the office of the City Clerk a
certified copy of this Ordinance together with the names of the members of
