CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item: 8
January 25, 2005
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
Gregg B. Ramirez, Associate Planner
(949) 644 -3230, gramirezOcity.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Medical and Dental Office Parking
Code Amendment No. 2004 -001 (PA2004 -007)
ISSUE:
Should the City Council approve a proposed amendment to Section 20.66.030 of the Municipal
Code (Off Street Parking and Loading Spaces Required) to increase the number of parking
spaces required for medical and dental office uses from 1 per each 250 gross square feet to 1
per each 200 gross square feet?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Code Amendment No. 2004 -001 by
introducing Ordinance No. 2005- amending the medical and dental office parking
requirement and pass to second reading on February 8, 2004.
DISCUSSION:
On January 6, 2005 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City
Council approve the proposed amendment. The Commission's decision was based on
information included in the January 6, 2005 staff report (attached). The report includes
information about medical parking requirements gathered from other jurisdictions (cities,
Coastal Commission), national planning organizations (American Planning Association,
Institute of Transportation Engineers) and a small, two -site parking study conducted in 2003
at two existing medical office buildings on Old Newport Boulevard.
Should the City Council desire to adopt the attached amendment, staff suggests that projects
currently under review in plan check and those submitted into plan check prior to the approval
date be subject to the existing 1/250 regulation, even if building permits for those projects are
not issued prior to the effective date of the amendment. Projects submitted after the approval
date of the ordinance would be required to comply with the new parking requirement, unless
permits are issued prior to the effective date of the amendment. The Council does, however,
Code Amendment — Medical and Dental Office Parking
January 25, 2004
Page 2
have the option to determine that the applicable date of the new regulation should be the
effective date (30 days after the second reading) or possibly a future date of, for example, 60
or 90 days after the approval date. This would provide a set "grace period" for projects
already in plan check.
Additionally, staff is processing a discretionary application that will likely be affected by the
proposed regulation. Should a new parking requirement be adopted, staff believes this
project, and any others submitted prior to the effective date of the amendment, should be
required to provide off - street parking at the newly adopted ratio unless the findings for a
parking waiver can be made.
Environmental Review:
This project has been reviewed and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 5 (minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations).
Public Notice:
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot a minimum of 10 days in advance of
this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the
agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.
Alternatives:
1. Do not adopt the draft ordinance and maintain the existing parking requirement for
medical and dental offices.
2. Recommend a different parking requirement ratio.
3. Continue the item and instruct staff to study the issue further. This may not be effective
without funding sources to prepare a number of comprehensive parking demand
studies at multiple sites.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: Planning Department
Gregg B. Ramirez, Associate Planner
(949) 644 -3230, gram irez(a2citv.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Code Amendment No. 2004 -001 (PA2004 -007)
Proposed amendment to Section 20.66.030 of the Municipal Code (Off Street
Parking and Loading Spaces Required) to increase the number of parking spaces
required for medical and dental office uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached draft resolution, which
recommends the adoption of the proposed amendment that 1 parking space be provided for
each 200 square feet of gross floor area used for medical or dental office uses.
DISCUSSION:
Section 20.66.030 of the Municipal Code requires that medical and dental offices provide a
minimum of 1 parking space per each 250 square feet of gross floor area. The land use
classification "Office, Medical and Dental' is defined as:
Offices of firms or organizations providing medical/dental services.
This classification includes facilities for the diagnosis and
treatment of human patients and medical /dental laboratories
incidental to the office use.
For some time, there has been concern that the current standard falls short of actual parking
demand based on the experienced parking shortages at various locations within the City. In
making the recommendation above, staff researched the parking requirement of several other
jurisdictions, the requirement of national planning and traffic engineering organizations and
looked at a parking demand study done in 2003 at two medical office buildings on Old
Newport Boulevard.

Other Jurisdiction Requirements
A survey of several Southern California. jurisdictions was conducted. Staff attempted to
choose jurisdictions with hospitals, assuming that those cities would likely have more medical
office use than those cities without hospitals. The table below outlines those requirements:
Jurisdiction

City of Fountain Valle
1/143
City of Huntington Beach

City of San Diego

California Coastal Commission
1/150
City of Newport Beach
1/250
Average Requirement
11198
*All requirements based on gross square footage
Staff spoke directly with staff members from several of the listed cites and found that their
respective parking requirements were typically based on using other jurisdiction requirements
or that the standard has been "on the books for years ".
As the table illustrates, the only jurisdictions that require the same or less off - street parking
than Newport Beach are Loma Linda with a 1/300 requirement and the City of San Diego with
a 11250 requirements. All other jurisdictions require a minimum of 1 parking space per each
200 square feet.
Parking Demand Study
A parking demand study was conducted in 2003 as part of the review process for a proposed
medical office building on Old Newport Boulevard. Parking counts were taken at two existing
medical office developments located at 415 and 455 Old Newport Boulevard. The following
table outlines the findings of the study.

Includes 12 off -site spaces leased exclusively for employee parking and assumed occupied during business hours.
" 455 Old Newport Boulevard includes a 3,400 square foot credit union. The counts used a 'worst case' formula and
assumed all cars were employees/patrons of the 10,687 square foot medical office portion of the building.
As shown in the chart, the study found that, in this particular case, the building with more
tenants generated a higher parking demand while the building with fewer tenants generated a
lower parking demand. Given the low sample size, these ratios may not be a good indicator
of what the citywide standard should be. Staff believes that the type of medical office use
may also play a key role in parking demand. For example, a general family practitioner
typically creates a much higher demand due to current health management practices than a
specialized physician such as a heart specialist or cosmetic surgeon. Therefore a building
designed and parked for a medical office use may have ample parking for a certain medical
use but not enough for another type of use.
National Organizations
Staff looked at parking requirements published by the American Planning Association (APA)
and a recent study conducted by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
The APA numbers are drawn from many sizes of local jurisdictions across the country.
Requirements range from 6 per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (1/150) to 3.3 spaces
per 1,000 square feet of gross floor areas (1/303). Some jurisdictions add the number of
doctors or examination rooms into the equation but staff believes using this formula would be
difficult to administer. The APA publications do not identify the most appropriate standard.
The ITE handbook titled Transportation and Land Development suggests a parking
requirement of 5.5 spaces per each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or 1/181.
Additionally, staff contacted a member of ITE and received some preliminary results of a
parking demand study conducted at 13 locations. That study found that parking demand rates
range between 1.8 and 4.7 per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area with an average of 3.4
parking spaces per each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or 1/295.

Code Amendment— Medical Office Parking
November 18, 2004
Page 4
Summary
During the course of research and with years of collective interactions with doctors seeking
office space, staff found that parking demand for medical and dental office uses varies
depending on a variety of factors such as the type of medical or dental practice, the location
of the practice and the overall size of the practice or office building. It was clear however that
the existing parking requirement of 1/250 is on the low end when compared to other
jurisdictions in Southern California. Staff believes the Code should be amended to ensure
that enough parking to adequately serve a wide range medical and dental office uses.
Since the City does not categorize different types of medical office uses, staff believes the
requirement should provide enough parking spaces to reasonably serve a medical office that
may experience change in tenants and a possible change in parking demand over the life of
the building. Although it is reasonable to conclude that parking demand may fluctuate based
upon the operational characteristics of the use, the long term administration of medical office
sub - categories is not recommended and would take a substantial amount of research to
determine parking rates for various uses. Therefore, staff is recommending that the parking
requirement for medical and dental office uses be amended to require 1 parking space per
each 200 square feet of gross floor area to ensure sufficient parking is provided for future
medical /dental facilities.
It should be mentioned that any change to the Code requirement will make all existing
medical /dental office buildings that provide 1 space for every 250 square feet non - confirming
in terms of parking. These buildings would then be subject to the non - conforming parking
regulations provided in Chapter 20.62 Non - Conforming Structures and Uses, which would
limit additions, interior alterations and structural alterations.
Environmental Review:
This project has been reviewed and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 5 (minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations).
Public Notice:
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot a minimum of 10 days in advance of
this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the
agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.
Alternatives:
The Planning Commission may determine that one of the following alternatives is more
appropriate than the recommended action.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING THE
ADOPTION OF CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2004 -001
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED OFF -
STREET PARKING SPACES FOR MEDICAL AND
DENTAL OFFICE USES (PA2004 -007)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, there are some existing medical office buildings in the City parked
at the existing 1 per 250 square foot rate that have a greater parking demand than the
number of spaces provided, which causes off -site parking conflicts.
WHEREAS, the City Council initiated this proposed amendment on January 13,
2004 in accordance with Chapter 20.94 of the Municipal Code.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on November. 18, 2004 in the City Hall
Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of
time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal
Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the
Planning Commission at this meeting.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. The intent of the proposed amendment is consistent with the original intent of
the Off Street Parking and Loading Requirements, which is to ensure that
adequate off - street parking and loading spaces are provided to meet the
parking demand of specific uses.
2. The proposed amendment will ensure that adequate off - street parking spaces
are provided for medical and dental office uses regardless of the type of
medical practice. The increased requirement will also help ensure that an
adequate number of spaces is provided for the life of the medical or dental
office building.
3. Although a number of sites with medical /dental office buildings will become
non - conforming as to parking requirements they will be allowed to continue in
their present use.
4. The proposed amendment to Section 20.66.030 of Title 20 is consistent with
the General Plan and will not be detrimental to the City of Newport Beach
since future medical /dental office sites will provide adequate off- street parking
I

and will impact neighboring sites and available on- street parking to a lesser
degree.
5. The project has been reviewed and it has been determined that it is

of the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
Section 1. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council of the City of Newport Beach adopt Code
Amendment No. 2004 -001 to amend Section 20.66.030 of Title 20 of the Newport

Planning Commission Minutes 01/06/2005
Ramirez noted that at the request of some of the Planning Commissioners, st
ded to the table of the cities that were surveyed. Staff found parking requirements
o additional cities. One of them was Irvine that has a parking rate of 1 space per 1
uare feet of medical office; and, Fullerton has 1 space per 182 square feet
:dical office with another provision that buildings that were 5,000 square feet or le
uld receive approval of a parking ratio of 1 per 250 square feet with the approval
Planning Director.
r. Ramirez then summarized the information contained in the staff report.
;sioner Selich asked what was going to happen to existing complexes,
up at Newport Center, the Avocado buildings? Assuming they aren't pars
ratio, under what circumstances would they have to bring their parking
nce? What about tenant improvements?
Ramirez answered that they would be considered legal, non - conforming. Th
ild fall under the non - conforming parking section of the Code. They can contir
present use in perpetuity, but should they want to come in and do additions to th
ablishments or alterations to the buildings, the non - conforming parking section
Zoning Code would take affect.
Ir. Campbell added that if the existing tenant space is already devoted to medical use
iey could remodel that space fairly readily and would not have to comply with the nev
arking standards. If they were to expand the facility by less than 10 %, they woulc
ave to provide the parking for the addition at the new parking ratio. If they wer(
dding more than that, they might have to bring the entire facility up to Code. If thel
idn't have the space for that, it might preclude those additions to the buildings.
ssioner Selich noted they could take one of those buildings and wipe out all
improvements on every floor, completely re -do it but as long as they didn't
nal square footage to the building it would be okay, is that correct?
r. Campbell answered if it is devoted to medical use now, that would be correct. If
general office and they are converting it from one to another, no.
missioner Hawkins asked if instead of adding square footage, they divided
rooms, would that trigger any additional parking demands? He then noted
nal organizations numbers noted in the staff report.
r. Ramirez answered, no it wouldn't, it is all based on the square footage and not
is divided. The ITE report was an empirical study that is going to be published.
3mmissioner Toerge noted given the different ways of calculating square footage,
ntable, rentable, useable square footage, shouldn't we designate this as 200 sqt
et gross building area to be clear on that?
r. Ramirez answered we can add that to the resolution in Section one. As far as
:hibit goes, the Code requires that all parking be based on gross unless other
iecified. So, on the tables when there is a straight 1 per 200 or whatever it is, if it
owed to be parked at net, it would say 1 per 200 net.
Page 2 of 27
missioner Cole asked about buildings that have mixed use such as general offic�
want to convert a portion of the building to medical, are you proposing for tha
file: //H: \Plancomm \2005 \0106.htm 01/18/2005

Page 3 of 27
portion of the building there would be a different parking requirement?
Mr. Ramirez answered yes. General office use and professional office use is parked a
1 per 250 of net square feet; whereas, medical office use is gross square feet. The net
excludes certain areas such as stairwells and elevator shafts, things of that nature. I
here is a mixed development with general office and professional office, we have to
alculate the square footage of the general and the square footage of the medical and
figure out the parking for each.
