De Santis, Economic Development Administrator 949 - 644 -3207, Idesantis @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: Implementation of the Balboa Village Parking Management Program ISSUE: Policy direction on implementation of the Balboa Village Parking Management Program. RECOMMENDATION: Provide staff with direction on policy issues. DISCUSSION: Background: At the study session in July 2009, the City Council reviewed Walker Parking Consultant's study of Balboa Village. Following that review, the City Council instructed staff to draft an implementation program based on Walker's recommendations and return to the City Council for action. The program was to implement the following Walker recommendations: 1. Establish a Parking Benefit District (PBD) to collect parking revenue for development of off - street parking and neighborhood enhancement. 2. Price on- street parking at a rate which manages the high demand for this limited resource, and provides incentive to consumers to utilize lower priced off - street parking alternatives. 3. Establish a system of limited parking permits for Balboa Village residents within the PBD area and perhaps the immediate fringes. 4. In the future, consider building a new public parking structure after determining the impacts of actions 1 -3 and future development. Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 2 In the course of developing the implementing documents, staff encountered several policy questions, some of which have implications extending beyond Balboa Village that would benefit from Council direction. Municipal Code Issues: In the process of making amendments to Chapter 12.44 to create the Balboa Village Parking Management District, staff came across several sections of the Municipal Code that were out of date, unclear or no longer seemed to reflect current practice. Chapter 12.44 is attached for the Council's reference (Attachment 1). City -wide Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund vs. Specific Geographic Areas Section 12.44.025 creates the Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund. It provides that 50% of the gross meter fees collected from all on- street parking meter zones shall be deposited in this fund. The fund is to be used for purposes of the acquisition, development, and improvement of public off - street parking facilities located within the general vicinity of the parking meters contributing to the fund, and for any expenditures necessary or convenient to accomplish such purposes. Although the language of Section 12.44.025 indicates that funds should be spent in the geographic area from which they originated, there is no requirement for separate funds or accounting. The City's practice has been to deposit all revenue into one fund, accumulate enough money for a project, and use the money from different geographic areas to complete the project (e.g., the recent acquisition of 608 E. Balboa Boulevard). In addition, little revenue has been deposited into the Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund since the creation of the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve (Section 12.44.027). Since 1995 for West Newport and since 1997 for the Balboa Peninsula, 50% of parking revenue has been deposited in reserves for these areas rather than in the citywide Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund. (The remaining 50% is deposited in the General Fund.) As a result, only parking revenue from Mariners' Mile is deposited in the citywide Off- Street Parking Facilities Fund. As staff has been drafting Code changes to create a new Balboa Village Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund, and anticipating the creation of similar funds for areas such as Corona del Mar and perhaps Mariners' Mile in the future, we have debated whether the City should retain the citywide Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund or convert Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 3 to specific geographic areas. We support the recommendations of both Donald Shoup and Walker Parking that some parking revenue be returned to the area of its origin to help generate support for increased parking rates. However, we think it is important to keep the citywide fund because it provides the flexibility to accumulate funds from several areas until there is enough money to accomplish something. The City Council could still have the ability to create special funds for areas that are likely to generate sufficient revenue on their own, or where incentives to accompany parking rate increases are needed. Direction sought — Should the City Council maintain a citywide Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund and allow for the creation of funds for specific geographic areas? Revenue from Meters Serving Recreational Areas Subsection 12.44.025(A) provides an exception to the general provision regarding the Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund, and reads as follows: Fees derived from the operation of parking meters on 15th Street between Oceanfront and Newport Bay (Zone 6) as well as other areas or zones considered to be serving recreational needs shall be deposited in the general fund. The Code fails to say who determines which areas or zones are "considered to be serving recreational needs ", or how that determination is to be made. Further, the Code specifies only one of nine parking meter zones as being `recreational serving ". In practice, the Administrative Services Department tracks not the nine zones listed in the Code but 36 separate parking meter zones and parking lot zones, 4 additional areas by account number and 3 residential parking permit areas. Over the years, staffs in various departments have made determinations regarding the allocation of parking revenue based on the creation of new funds or reserves (e.g., Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve); budget needs at the time, and perhaps other considerations unknown to current staff. Of the 43 zones being tracked by Administrative Services, the revenue from 7 zones is evenly divided between the General Fund and either the Off- Street Parking Facilities Fund or the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve. 100% of revenue from 31 zones is allocated to the General Fund. Revenue from the remaining 5 zones is allocated to the Tidelands Fund. Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 4 Staff is of the opinion that Section 12.44.025 should be amended to provide greater clarity and to reflect current practice and budget needs. Subsections A, B and C should be deleted (Subsections B and C are out of date), and the section should state that off- street parking meter revenue and parking lot revenue not specifically designated for another fund such as Tidelands, Off - Street Parking Facilities or Neighborhood Enhancement shall be deposited in the General Fund. Direction sought — Should the Municipal Code be amended to eliminate the recreational area exception and provide that parking revenue not otherwise designated for a special fund be deposited in the General Fund? Operation Issues for Proposed Balboa Village Parking Management District: Outline of Parking Management District Proposal Below is a brief description of staffs proposal for the creation and operation of the Balboa Village Parking Management District. It is provided to put into context the subsequent issues and questions. The proposed boundaries for the Balboa Parking Management District are the Bay on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the south, Coronado Street on the west and B Street on the east as shown on the attached map. (Attachment 2) Within the Balboa Parking Management District are: • 865 metered off - street parking spaces located within six public parking lots; • 66 metered on- street parking spaces; and • 214 unmetered on- street parking spaces. Four of the six existing public parking lots in the proposed Balboa Village Parking Management District are located on Tidelands. Their revenues are directed by law to the Tidelands Fund and cannot be redirected or transferred to either off - street parking or neighborhood enhancement. However, for the purposes of coordinated management and pricing, staff proposes that the Tidelands parking lots be part of the District. Staff is proposing a four tiered seasonal /market parking rates program for the Balboa Village Parking Management District. The tiers would be: Tier 1) Peak summer weekends, defined as Friday, Saturday and Sunday commencing the second to last Friday in May and terminating the Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 5 second Monday in September. (Total of 17 peak summer weekends or 51 days annually) Tier 2) Non -peak weekends, defined as Friday, Saturday and Sunday commencing the Friday following the second Sunday in September and terminating the Monday before the second to last Friday in May. (Total of 35 non -peak weekends or 105 days annually) Tier 3) Weekdays, defined as Monday through Thursday year- round. (Total of 209 days annually) Tier 4) Holidays — Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day Staff is proposing the following seasonal /market parking rates for the parking lots in the Balboa Village Parking Management District. Tier 1, 2 and 3 meter rates are proposed to apply from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Tier 4 rates to apply from 12:00 am to 12:00 am on the specified holiday. Tier 1) Peak summer weekends: $2.50 /hr or $25 /day Tier 2) Non -peak weekends: $2.00 /hr or $20 day Tier 3) Weekdays: $1.50 /hr or $15 /day (current rate) Tier 4) Holidays — Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day: $25 /day As the Balboa Village currently operates, preferred on- street parking is essentially free. Only 66 of 280 on- street spaces are metered. Staff is proposing that 214 unmetered on- street parking spaces be metered using pay -by -space meters. The on- street parking meters would have the same Tier 1 through 3 hourly rates as the parking lots, except that meters are proposed to operate only from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays on residential streets. Staff is proposing that the new meters and parking rates become effective May 20, 2011. This would allow 13 months from the City's last parking rate increase, and would capture new revenue at the beginning of the peak summer season. However, staff proposes that the new Balboa Village Parking Management District funds be created and start receiving funds on July 1, 2011, at the start of the new fiscal year. Staff is proposing that all of the revenue from parking in the new district, both fees and fines, be deposited into two new funds and used within the district only. The first fund would be the Balboa Village Parking Management District Off - Street Parking Facilities Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 6 Fund, which would have the same purposes as the citywide Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund, but with a geographic limitation. The second fund would be the Balboa Village Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve, which would be carved out of the existing Balboa Peninsula (Area "B ") Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve and have the same purposes as the existing Reserves (i.e., enhancing and supplementing services to the neighborhood, including capital improvements, special services or extraordinary maintenance). Staffs proposal is that 96% of the district revenues be deposited into the Balboa Village Parking Management District Off - Street Parking Facilities Fund, and 4% of the district revenues be deposited into the Balboa Village Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve. Staff is suggesting that the Balboa Village Business Improvement District (BID) be designated as the entity to manage the use of the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve. Policy Issues and Questions New On- Street Parking Meter Hours The on- street meters in Balboa Village currently operate from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, a 10 hour operating day. The Balboa Pier Parking Lot currently charges fees from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, from 7:00 am to 2:00 am on Friday, from 6:00 am to 2:00 am Saturday and from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm on Sunday during peak season. The Balboa Pier Parking Lot closes a little earlier during the off -peak season, but still opens at 7:00 am daily. Changing the on- street parking meter pay period to coincide with the opening of Balboa Pier Parking Lot will keep those first arriving in the District from parking on street when they ought to be parking in an off - street lot. Given how few meters (66) currently exist on- street in Balboa Village and the number of new meters and the new technology proposed for installation, staff believes that the change in hours can be accomplished with little confusion. The first parking enforcement officer begins his /her shift at 7:00 am and the balance begins their shifts at 7:30 am. The Police Department Traffic Division is supportive of the proposed 7:00 am meter commencement time. The Parking Lot Crew chief supports the change in hours. Staff considered a residential parking permit program, as recommended by Walker Parking, which is discussed later in this report. To provide some relief from parking costs to full -time residents and to keep implementation of the program as simple as possible at the outset, staff is instead recommending that meters on residential streets be operational only from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays. This would enable residents to park for free 2 hours before commercial street meters cease for the day and 2 hours before commercial street meters become effective for the day. These are times when it Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 7 is most likely they will need to park near their homes, before leaving for work in the morning and when first returning home in the evening. Direction sought — Should the hours for on- street parking meters in the Balboa Village Parking Management District be 7:00 am to 7:00 pm? Should the hours for meters on residential streets be 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekdays only? Proposed market/seasonal rate structure One of the guiding principles of the Walker Parking Consultants recommendations was markettseasonal pricing of parking, with the intent of using pricing to make short-term street parking more readily available to short-term parkers and longer -term off - street parking more attractive to long -term parkers. Pricing is a mechanism to create turnover and availability. In June 2009, the Walker Study for Balboa Village recommended three pricing levels: Tier 1) Peak summer weekend: $2 /hr metered on- and off - street or $16 /day in a lot Tier 2) Non -peak weekend: $1.50 /hr metered on- and off - street or $12 /day in a lot Tier 3) Weekday: $1 1hr metered on- and off - street or $6 /day per day in a lot The Tier 3 weekday rates reflected existing conditions at the time of the report. Walker clearly felt that non -peak weekends should be priced at $0.50 more per hour than weekdays and that peak summer weekends should be priced at $1.00 more than weekdays. They also set the daily rate at 80% of the hourly equivalent. City parking rates were raised across the board in April 2010. Because the City increased its weekday rate from $1.00 to $1.50 /hr and its daily rate from $6 to $15, staffs recommended prices reflect an upward adjustment in the Walker proposed rates to maintain the pricing differential of $0.50 between weekdays and non -peak weekends and the pricing differential of $1.00 between weekdays and peak summer weekends. Staffs proposed daily rate is equal to 83% of the hourly equivalent. Therefore, the new rates, following the Walker formula, recommended by staff would be: Tier 1) Peak summer weekends: $2.50 1hr metered on- and off - street or $25 /day in a lot Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 8 Tier 2) Non -peak weekends: $2.00 /hr metered on- and off - street Or $20 /day in a lot Tier 3) Weekdays: $1.50 /hr metered on- and off - street Or $15 /day (current rate) in a lot Tier 4) Holidays — Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day: $2.50. hr metered on- and off - street or $25 /day in a lot Tier 1, 2 and 3 meter rates would apply from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm (except that residential street rates would apply 9:00 am to 5:00 pm). Tier 4 rates would apply from 12:00 am to 12:00 am on the specified holiday. Staff believes the proposed on- and off - street meter hourly rates are appropriate. However, even though the proposed daily rates have been logically calculated in light of Walker's recommendations, the daily rate may be a little high, especially since rates were increased in April. A daily rate that may be more appropriate initially might be: Tier 1 - $20 /day in a lot (80% of hourly) Tier 2 - $18 /day in a lot (75% of hourly) Tier 3 - $15 /day in a lot (current rate 83% of hourly) and Tier 4 Holidays - $25 /day in a lot. Adjusting daily parking lot rates slightly downward would result in a decrease in projected revenues. However, staff is concerned that we don't know the elasticity of the parking market, meaning that the last $5 (i.e. $25 /day) might be the increment that drives visitors away while charging less (i.e. $20 /day) could result in continued high use and increased revenues. Walker Parking Consultants made a strong case in their report for monitoring after 6 months to a year of implementation following any change in rates to determine the impact of the rate change and to further adjust rates to fit the market. In fiscal year 2009, the proposed Balboa Village Parking Management District area generated $973,024 in revenue to the Tidelands Fund and $119,661 that was divided equally between the General Fund and Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve for the entire Peninsula. With market pricing and the installation of 214 new meters, the Balboa Village Parking Management District could generate approximately $3,676,736 to Tidelands and up to $1,573,197 for off- street parking and neighborhood enhancement of the District annually (based on the highest rates). Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 9 Direction sought — Is the City Council still supportive of market/seasonal pricing? Has staff properly extrapolated daily seasonal rates based on the new standard rate? Should the maximum daily rates be set at a reduced daily rate initially? Exception of Excursion Boats and the Catalina Flyer Fishing and /or Whale Watching Excursion Boats and the Catalina Flyer have expressed concerns regarding the parking price increases adopted in April 2010. These businesses believe they already have a competitive disadvantage on the market because parking rates are lower in Dana Point, and higher parking rates in Newport Beach could be a further disincentive. The Balboa Village BID has been supportive of their concerns. As a result, these businesses and the BID are discussing approaching the City about a possible validation program. Staff is receptive to these concerns because these businesses are required, by grandfathered practice, agreement and /or City permit conditions, to direct their customers to use the Balboa Pier Parking Lot. As a group these businesses have a longstanding relationship with the City regarding use of the Balboa Pier Parking Lot as there are no other reasonable alternatives. Staffs suggestion would be that validated users of the Catalina Flyer and Fishing and /or Whale Watching Excursion Boats pay the current weekday rates of $15.00 per day regardless of season or holiday, i.e. that they be exempt from the seasonal /market pricing rates. Should these businesses wish to further reduce the rate that their customers pay, staff suggests that they enter into individual agreements with the City that would allow the businesses to pay the difference. This would result in no further loss of revenue to the City. Direction sought — Is the City Council supportive of exempting the Fishing and /or Whale Watching Excursion Boats and Catalina Flyer customers from the seasonal /market pricing rates and setting the rate for their customers at $15 per day? Parking Fine Revenue to District The Balboa Village Steering Committee, which served as a sounding board and guide for the Walker Parking Consultants' study, raised the idea of the Balboa Village Parking Management District receiving the parking fines assessed within the District in addition to receiving the parking fees not directed to the Tidelands Fund. They did so because, even with metering of all the on- street parking spaces in the District, the majority of parking revenue will be directed towards the Tidelands Fund ($3,676,736 vs. $1,573,197 to the district) as there are 825 Tidelands spaces and potentially only 353 non - Tidelands spaces. Parking fines are currently credited as revenue to Police Department Account #1820 -5212. Because all fine revenue in the City (including Police Department Administrative fines as well as parking fines) goes to the same account, Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 10 there is no current accounting by geographical area and no way to estimate how much revenue fines would add to the Balboa Village Parking Management District. Directing parking fine revenue to the Balboa Village Parking Management District would provide additional resources for parking and other improvements in Balboa Village. However, it would be a departure from City practice, and could set a precedent for parking management districts that may be established in the future. The loss of this revenue to the general fund would need to be reflected in expenditure reductions. Direction sought — Should the Balboa Village Parking Management District receive parking fine revenue for the District? Percentage of Revenue to and Administration of Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve Walker Parking recommended that some of the parking revenue generated from the area where market based pricing is implemented be returned to the business community in exchange for higher parking rates being charged of their customers. Based on revenue projections of the proposed system operating at completion, staff's recommended 4% of parking fees and fines could provide approximately $62,369 to the Balboa Village Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve. Every one percent is equal to approximately $15,732. The Balboa Village BID, which staff is recommending be designated to administer the Reserve, is contained within the boundaries of the larger Balboa Village Parking Management District and is an existing community organization established for the purposes of business district enhancement. Funds from the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve would be restricted to such items as capital improvements, and service enhancements such as extra sidewalk cleaning, street sweeping or security in excess of continued City services for the entire District - not just the smaller BID area. Since the BID is overseen by the City and the City Council annually reviews and approves its budget, appropriate checks and balances are already in place regarding the BID's spending. The Balboa Village BID annual budget is approximately $24,000. The addition of a potential $62,369 annually would make a tremendous difference in what they could do to physically reinvest in the Balboa Village Parking Management District. Direction sought — What percent of District revenue should be directed into the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve? Is the City Council supportive of designating the Balboa Village BID as the administrator of the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve? Residential Parking Permit Program Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 11 Walker Parking suggested that the City try to institute a residential parking permit program inside the Parking Management District and /or immediately adjacent (within 100 yards) of the Parking Management District, which is limited in terms of time and number of parking permits issued.. The program Walker proposed was as follows: 1. Offer residents of Balboa Village the opportunity to purchase on- street parking permits at a rate that, as much as possible, reflect the high value of on- street parking in the area. 2. Initially price permits as follows. (Walker's numbers are prior to the April 2010 rate increase and therefore now too low.) September 15 — May 15: $480 for the eight -month period ($60 per month). May 16 — September 14: $480 for the four -month period ($120 per month). The total annual cost of annual permit parking would therefore be $960, a roughly 45% increase above the current annual cost of the City's Master Permit. 3. Limit the number of permits to 2 per residence, and /or charge a significant fee for each additional permit. 4. Monitor residential parking on a regular basis and consider adjustments in the fee charged for parking permits accordingly. 5. As part of the parking permit program for residents, evaluate offering residents parking at the beach lots at either monthly or annual rates. Staff believes that some accommodation to help residents adjust to the introduction of parking meters and fees on residential streets is needed. We believe that the program proposed by Walker is quite complicated with its inclusion of two seasonal rates, and would be difficult to administer. We are also concerned that residents would not use the program, but purchase less expensive Master Parking Permits instead. Staff considered a much simpler program than Walker did, which is aimed at providing free parking for residents when it is most likely they will need to park near their homes, (i.e. on weekdays) before leaving for work in the morning and when first returning home in the evening. The program would consist of 2 parking permits per permanent household permanently affixed to assigned vehicles and valid for use from 5:00 pm until 9 :00 am. This would enable residents to park for free 2 hours before meters cease for the day and 2 hours before meters become effective for the day, if meter hours were 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Staff concluded that the effect of our residential permit program might be achieved by setting weekday meter hours on residential streets as 9:00 to 5:00 pm. These meter Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 12 hours could have the consequence of attracting long -term parkers to on- street spaces, which we are trying to avoid. That does not seem very likely, since Catalina Flyer and excursion boat customers are directed to the Balboa Pier Parking Lot, beachgoers tend to arrive later than 7:00 am, and long -term parkers would need to return to insert money in the meter at 9:00. The City would not be able to institute any parking permit program in this area until the Coastal Commission has reviewed the proposal and approved it. The Coastal Commission, at least in LA County, has allowed a few limited residential parking permit programs to address very specific problems especially if they do not limit public access. As a general rule they do not support permit parking. Staff suggests that the City begin the Balboa Village program with the more simple approach of limited weekday meter hours on residential streets, and monitor the use of these spaces. If there are unwanted consequences, a residential permit program can be considered later. Weekend parking may still be problematic for residents who do not have adequate off- street parking for their vehicles. The City's existing master parking permit program may offer an option for these residents. A City master parking permit would allow free parking at any metered space at any time year- round. However, excessive use of these permits by residents could interfere with the City's goal of directing short-term parkers to on- street meters and long -term parkers to off - street lots. Excessive use could also reduce revenue projections for the new parking program, unless master parking permit rates are increased. Direction sought — Should staff develop a residential parking permit program? If so, should staff look at the broader issue of rates for the Master Permit citywide? Consistency of Rates at the Balboa Pier and Corona del Mar Parking Lots The April 2010 rate change established a pricing parity between the Balboa Pier Parking Lot and the Corona del Mar State and City Beach Parking Lots. If parking rates are now raised only for the Balboa Pier Parking Lot, the public may eventually realize the difference in pricing and respond by going to Corona del Mar first in search of cheaper parking. The Corona del Mar Beach Parking Lot was not included in Walker Parking's study of Corona del Mar because of its distance from the village, and is not likely to be included in a parking management program for that village. Direction sought — Should parking rates at the Corona del Mar Beach parking lots be set to retain parity with the Balboa Pier Parking Lot? Budget Impacts: The 2010 -11 Budget assumes that $300,000 from the existing meters and public parking lots in Balboa Village will be available to the General Fund, and Administrative Services has assumed the same amount will be available to balance future years' Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 13 budgets. If staffs proposal to direct 100% of non - Tidelands parking revenue to the new Balboa Village Parking Management District funds is implemented, there would be a significant impact on the City's budget. Staff is proposing that negative impact on the 2010 -11 Budget be avoided by beginning deposits to the new Balboa Village Parking Management funds at the start of the 2011 -12 Fiscal Year. This would likely provide a slight positive impact to the 2010 -11 Budget, as it would benefit from 40 days of increased parking rates if they become effective May 20, 2011. To minimize impacts to the General Fund in future years, the Administrative Services Department has suggested that only the increase in Balboa Village parking revenue resulting from staffs proposals be directed towards the new Balboa Village Parking Management District funds. Alternatively, the City Council could establish an amount, such as $300,000, to be directed annually to the General Fund. Direction sought — Should deposits to the new Balboa Village Parking Management funds begin at the start of the 2011 -12 fiscal year? Should some portion of revenue from the proposed Balboa Village Parking Management District be reserved for the General Fund? Public Outreach: Staff held a District —wide publicly noticed kick -off meeting for the Walker Parking Consultants' study. Walker and staff were advised by a public member steering committee from the District. Regular progress reports have been made by the city liaison to the Balboa Village BID on the process. There has been a previous study session on the Walker Parking Consultants' recommendation. The Walker study report and recommendation have been available on the City website for a year. Although staff believes that there have been significant opportunities for public participation on the parking management program, we recognize that significant changes are proposed as part of the program. These changes will affect residents as well as businesses, and staff senses that residents have been less involved in the process than the business community. It may be prudent to provide another opportunity for public outreach and input before the City Council is asked to take action on the program. Direction sought — Does the City Council wish to have staff conduct any further public outreach prior to Council action on the parking management program? ENVIRONEMTNAL REVIEW Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it Balboa Village Parking Study September 28, 2009 Page 14 has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
