IV. Current Business
A. Parking Subcommittee Update
The subcommittee reviewed the letter sent by the CdM BID to the City Council
in which the BID offered to pay for the City to hire a consultant to assist with
a new parking study.
The subcommittee discussed the following:
The City has a modification process that could be streamlined.
A review of the ability to utilize leased parking verses the parking
management plan to satisfy the parking requirements for businesses. The
approval process appears to be in a grey area and mixed messages are
being sent by the City. Ms. Wisneski will review with her staff.
Alternative forms of transportation are not a part of the current parking
code and it should be included in the review and proposed study.
The first step would be to define a scope of work and conduct an RFP to
retain a consultant to conduct a parking analysis.
2
The results of the previous 2008 Walker Study and the 2014
Nelson\Nygaard Study were discussed. It was agreed that the proposed
new study would have to be more focused and comprehensive to address
the modes of transportation; the current parking conditions; and a review
of the effects of making changes to current hot spots.
Various options for highlighting parking in the area were discussed, which
included wayfinding signs, mobile app; potentially using other parking lots
such as the City’s OASIS Senior Center; and reviewing what has been
implemented on the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island.
Ms. Wisneski and Mr. Laidlaw will work together to develop a scope of
work for review at the next subcommittee meeting.
A review of using a service such as the Downtowner will be discussed at a
later time.

From: Brenda Wisneski, Deputy Community Development Director
Chelsea Crager, Assistant Planner
Date: August 1, 2017
Re: Parking Consultant Solicitation
At its July meeting, the Subcommittee requested assistance in retaining a
consultant to evaluate parking conditions with the intent of justifying modified
parking standards and recommending other parking management strategies.
Attached is a draft scope of work for your consideration.
The scope details the overall project objectives, while highlighting potential tasks.
There may be various approaches for achieving the project objectives, so the
consultant can be selected based on experience and the best approach.
I look forward to your feedback at the August 8th meeting.

DRAFT – August 1, 2017
Background:
Parking has been a point of contention a number of years in the Corona del Mar neighborhood.
There are a number of commercial areas that experience a shortage of parking, areas that seem
to have underutilized parking, and residential neighborhoods that experience impacted on-street
parking from commercial uses.
In 2014, a parking management plan was considered by the City Council as an attempt to address
some of the ongoing issues, however it was not adopted. Concerns related to reliance on
outdated parking data and strategies which were not well received. Due to changes in
commercial and transportation trends, a new parking study that determines existing conditions
is necessary. It also would be more effective to focus on key strategies to better understand their
implementation and impacts on the area.
The City is working with the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District (BID) to improve that
parking conditions in the area in a way that will benefit both commercial uses and their residential
neighbors.
Scope of Services:
The parking study shall include a parking inventory count, parking demand analysis, and parking
managementstrategies.Inparticular,the study shouldconsiderthe March2014draftCoronadel
Mar Parking Policy Plan, which considered a number of parking management strategies. The
proposed parking study should narrow these strategies and provide analysis on those that are
anticipated to be the most effective. Some strategies to consider may include the value of
wayfinding, use of private lots, and an area-wide valet program.
The BID, which meets monthly, will provide a forum for public discussion and review of the
parking study and management strategies. Community Development Staff will administer the
Consultant agreement and, along with staff from Public Works Department, will provide input to
the consultant team.
