PLANNING AND HOUSING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DATE: 7/25/2022
TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Planning and Development Department
APPLICATION REQUEST:

ZTA2022-0002: Amendment to Chapter 17.76 Corona Municipal Code (Off-Street Parking) and other ancillary parking criteria within Title 17 (Zoning Code), including the number of parking spaces required for various land uses. (Applicant: City of Corona) RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission recommend APPROVAL of ZTA2022-0002 to the City Council, based on the findings contained in the staff report.

BACKGROUND
The City Council at its meeting on March 8, 2021, made the decision for staff to study the City’s Parking Ordinance. The purpose of the study was to determine if the city’s current parking requirements are consistent or in alignment with other surrounding cities and general requirements used in the industry. Specifically, the City Council expressed concern on the parking required for market-rate multiple-family residential projects. Several multiple-family residential apartments and attached condominium projects in the city have experienced a lack of sufficient parking spaces to accommodate the demand from residents.

In September 2021, staff completed its parking study, which compared Corona’s parking requirements for various land uses to the cities of Ontario, Eastvale, Orange, Moreno Valley, Riverside and Lake Elsinore. A comparison was also done using the average parking requirement for specific land uses from the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE) Parking Generation Manual.

The Committee of the Whole at its meeting on September 8, 2021, was presented the parking study.

The Committee recommended changes to the multiple-family residential parking requirement that would increase the parking requirement for studio/one-bedroom units and three or more bedroom units. The following table shows the changes recommended by the Committee.

On September 20, 2021, the Planning and Housing Commission held a study session to discuss the results of the parking study performed by staff. The Commission concurred with the recommendation made by the Committee of the Whole on the multiple-family residential parking.

The Commission also recommended the following changes to the Parking Ordinance:

Use Current Parking
Requirement
Recommendation by the
Planning Commission
Senior citizen apartment
housing (market rate)

1.5 spaces/unit 1.5 covered spaces/unit, plus
1 uncovered guest space/4
units
Senior congregate housing 1.0 spaces/unit 1.0 covered spaces per unit or bed, whichever is greater,
plus 1 uncovered guest space
per 4 units or beds
The Commission recommended changes to senior housing requirements because they wanted to be consistent with the other multi-family housing uses; except, the Commission recommended a guest parking ratio of 1 space/4 units, instead of the multiple-family requirement of 1 spaces/5 unit. The Commission also asked staff to consider eliminating parking criteria for land uses that might be redundant or outdated.

Throughout this process staff has reminded the Committee of the Whole and the Planning Commission that multiple-family residential intended for affordable housing, which is defined as housing set aside for low-income and moderate-income households, is subject to parking requirements regulated by Section 65915 (p)(1) of the California Government Code. Staff will continue to refer to the California Government Code for parking when it comes to the development of affordable housing for low and moderate-income households. For reference purposes, the current parking requirement in the government code for affordable housing is:
a) Zero to one bedroom: 1 onsite parking space.
b) Two to three bedrooms: 1.5 onsite parking spaces.

City of Corona Page 2 of 10 Printed on 7/20/2022

File #: 22-0632
c) Four or more bedrooms: 2.5 onsite parking spaces.

In addition to the parking requirements contained within Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Corona Municipal Code (CMC), the City has numerous specific plans that establish their own parking standards. Changes to the City’s specific plans are being proposed under Specific Plan Amendment 2022-0004 (SPA2022-0004), which will make the multiple-family residential parking requirements in specific plans match the requirement within CMC Chapter 17.76.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT
As previously discussed with the Committee of the Whole and the Planning Commission, ZTA2022- 0002 proposes an increase to the current parking requirement for multi-family residential projects by a half (0.5) space per unit for studios units, one-bedroom units, and units with three or more bedrooms. For three bedroom and more units, the increase is created by requiring each unit to have one additional uncovered parking space, and by eliminating the half (0.5) space requirement for each unit’s covered parking. ZTA2022-0002 does not propose any change to the number of parking spaces required for two-bedroom units.

ZTA2022-0002 also proposes required guest parking for senior citizen apartment housing (market rate), senior congregate housing, and convalescent homes. The guest parking would be at a ratio of one (1) uncovered guest space per four (4) units (or beds, when applicable). The amendment would also require senior citizen apartment housing and senior congregate housing to provide covered spaces for the parking required for each unit/bed.

Other changes proposed by ZTA2020-0002 are intended to provide clarity regarding operational criteria, address outdated terminology and practices, and consolidate most parking standards into a single Zoning Code chapter.

Operational Criteria
A reoccurring issue with the Planning Commission is the preservation of parking spaces for their intended use. For instance, the City is often compelled to condition multi-family development projects to conduct annual inspections that ensure garages are used for parking, or require property owners to post and enforce signs stating guest parking spaces are for guests only. It is also believed that some apartment owners are charging tenants for required parking spaces, or they are assigning spaces to tenants that should otherwise be available for guests. Staff has proposed the following language in CMC § 17.76.010 to clarify the City’s operational expectations:
“(H) Multi-unit residential uses.
(1) All required parking spaces for guests shall be open and unenclosed, clearly marked with appropriate signage, and accessible at all times. A signing program for the required guest parking shall be prepared prior to issuance of building permits. (2) Guest parking shall be evenly distributed throughout the development for convenient use by guests. In condominium, stock cooperative or apartment projects, the required guest City of Corona Page 3 of 10 Printed on 7/20/2022
powered by Legistar™
File #: 22-0632
parking spaces shall not be individually sold or assigned to units. (3) All required parking spaces shall be available for use by tenants and guests without separate or additional charges. No property owner or property manager shall lease, rent, sell, use for storage, or otherwise make the required parking spaces unavailable to residents and guests.
(4) For multi-family development projects of four or more units, the rental or purchase of a dwelling unit shall be deemed to include, at a minimum, the exclusive use of one (1) covered parking space, and equal access to all other required open parking spaces reserved for residents.”
Outdated Terminology and Updated Practices
CMC Chapter 17.76, Off-Site Parking, does not currently state how to interpret the number of required on-site parking spaces when the sum of required parking has a fractional space. Staff has added CMC § 17.76.010(G) to reflect the City’s current practice of rounding up the required parking when the sum is 0.5 spaces or more; and rounding down when the sum is less than 0.5 spaces.

Most jurisdictions allow large shopping centers and office developments to reduce the number of required on-site spaces when on-site uses do not share the same peak parking times. The proposed amendment allows mixed-use retail or office projects of 20 acres or more to request a reduction of parking after preparing a shared parking analysis. Staff has recommended CMC § 17.76.070(B) to clarify the process and criteria for granting such a parking reduction:
“(B) A reduction in required parking spaces may be granted to commercial and office centers greater than 20 acres in size, upon submittal of a shared parking analysis showing that the number of parking spaces needed is less than the sum of spaces required by Section

17.76.030. The shared parking analysis shall be prepared by a traffic engineer registered by the State of California.
(1) An application for a reduction in parking shall be reviewed per Chapter 17.91, as follows:
(a) Approval of a Precise Plan in conjunction with proposed new commercial or office development.
(b) Approval of a Precise Plan Modification in conjunction with a proposed commercial or industrial development meeting the criteria of 17.91.020(B). (c) Approval of a Precise Plan Modification when no development is proposed, and a parking reduction has not been previously approved.
(d) Approval of a Minor Precise Plan Modification when no development is proposed, and parking reduction has been previously approved for a shared use parking facility.

City of Corona Page 4 of 10 Printed on 7/20/2022

File #: 22-0632
(2) The granting of a reduction in parking shall be based on the following findings:
(a) The nature and location of the proposed uses within the development, as well as their size compared to that of the overall development. (b) The location and adequacy of the parking spaces in the portion of the development where shared use of parking facility is proposed. (c) Assurances that the proposed uses will not overlap during peak-activity periods. (d) The availability of parking and the type of uses beyond the property boundaries. (3) As a condition of granting a reduction in parking, the property owner shall be required to record a covenant or agreement against the property in a form acceptable to the Director that provides notice of the shared use of parking facilities and guarantees that the uses will operate during mutually exclusive hours, and upon circumstances or criteria as the Planning Commission, or the City Council on appeal, may require.” Staff also recommends adding definitions to clarify “Parking Facilities, Joint Use” and “Parking Facilities, Shared Use”. Joint use of parking is when multiple property owners use a single parking facility to meet their parking requirement, and assumes that the sum of the parking in the facility helps accommodate or exceed the parking requirement for each use. Such a facility would typically be in a downtown location where a central parking lot or parking structure accommodates the needs of multiple properties. Joint use of parking is currently allowed with approval of a Minor CUP (CMC §

17.92.030). Shared use of parking, as previously discussed, is when multiple uses share one or more parking space(s) based on each use having different peak parking times.

Consolidated Parking Requirements
A number of the land use chapters within the Zoning Code include parking ratios and parking requirements. Staff has removed most of these standards and, where appropriate, added them to Chapter 17.76. The intent is to have most parking requirements in one chapter, rather than being spread throughout Title 17.

standards
These types of uses related to indoor
sports facilities that often locate in
industrial areas where there is limited
parking. Uses often occur at off-peak
times from other on-site operators. Use
not intended to include clinics, swing
consultants, and sport specialty stores.

Public park or any other
public recreational facility
As prescribed by the
Director of Parks,
Recreation and Community
Services, based upon
nationally recognized
standards
A private park or recreation facility
would be ancillary to a primary use, and
reviewed as part of a development
proposal. The Director of Community
Services only reviews parks and
recreational facilities readily accessible
to the public.

Mixed uses: Sum of the requirements
for each use. A reduction
of parking may be granted
for commercial and office
centers greater than 20
acres, gross area, subject
to Section 17.76.070(B).

Cross-references process to allow
reduction in parking for land uses in
large development projects that have
different peak parking demand times.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempted from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This amendment is solely a text revision and there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the City of Corona Page 8 of 10 Printed on 7/20/2022
powered by Legistar™
File #: 22-0632
environment. The Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit 2.

FISCAL IMPACT
ZTA2022-0002 is an application initiated by the City. The amendment will not result in a negative fiscal impact.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENTS
A 10-day public notice was advertised in the Sentinel Weekly News. As of the preparation of this report, the City has not received any public comments on the proposed amendment.

STAFF ANALYSIS
California Government Code § 65850 provides the City authority to adopt ordinances that establish requirements for off-street parking, and Government Code § 65860 requires that various land uses authorized by the ordinance be compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan.

The City of Corona 2020-2040 General Plan states that “adequate and convenient parking is important in both residential neighborhoods and in commercial and industrial areas. In residential areas, adequate off-street parking will minimize on-street parking impacts and spillover of parking to areas that impact adjacent land uses. In commercial areas, parking must have sufficient spaces and convenience so that businesses can succeed. Conversely, the overbuilding of parking in a commercial area can be detrimental because it uses up too much land, makes development inefficient, and is not attractive. In mixed-use areas… …reductions in parking supply may be appropriate since mixed use encourages the ‘park once’ concept, where a visitor parks one time and visits multiple land uses in a single trip.”
Ordinance amendments proposed by ZTA2022-0002’s are intended to establish adequate and convenient parking in both residential and commercial zones, and minimize impacts to public streets and adjacent properties. The proposed amendment clarifies the intention to make multiple-family parking spaces available to tenants and guests as required by the Code, it consolidates parking requirements within Chapter 17.76, updates parking criteria to provide clarity, and defines joint-use and shared-use parking strategies.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF ZTA2022-0002

1. Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Exemption has been prepared for the project because Section 15061(b) (3) states that a project is exempted from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This amendment is solely a text revision and there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment.

2. The criterion necessary in recommending approval of a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment as set forth in Section 17.106.030 of the Corona Municipal Code do exist in reference to ZTA2022 City of Corona Page 9 of 10 Printed on 7/20/2022
powered by Legistar™
File #: 22-0632
set forth in Section 17.106.030 of the Corona Municipal Code do exist in reference to ZTA2022 -0002 for the following reasons:
a. General Plan Goal CE-7 states that there shall be provided an adequate supply of convenient parking for all developments in the City in a manner that is consistent with the goals of managing transportation demand. i. General Plan Policy CE-7.1 requires new developments to provide adequate off-street parking in compliance with Corona Municipal Code Chapter 17-76.
ii. General Plan Policy CE-7.2 allows for the provision of adequate parking that is required to meet the needs of residential uses, commerce, and other land uses and is sensitive to the context and broader transportation goals of the City.
iii. Policy CE-7.4 encourages the joint and shared use of parking facilities as part of an area plan or site plan, based on the peak parking demands of permitted uses in the planning area. iv. Policy CE-7.5 encourages the use of shared parking arrangements in areas with parking shortfalls, downtown and in appropriate mixed-use projects, and along the Sixth Street Mixed Use Boulevard corridor.
v. Policy LU-17.18 promotes the development of centralized parking facilities that can be shared by multiple businesses to allow for a more pedestrian and social environment in Downtown.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the Planning and Housing Commission discuss and provide input on the City’s Parking Ordinance Update.
.Body

Staff completed a recent study comparing Corona’s parking requirement to other surrounding cities that included Ontario, Eastvale, Orange, Moreno Valley, Riverside and Lake Elsinore. Staff also reviewed the average parking requirement for land uses from the Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE) Parking Generation Manual.

A parking table was prepared by staff comparing Corona’s parking requirement to the cities studied and to the average parking requirement of the ITE Manual. The table is attached as Exhibit 1. The table also includes a column with staff’s recommendation on the parking requirements for the land uses listed. Staff’s recommendation includes “no change” to the current requirement or a new parking requirement. The recommendation column also includes the recommendation made by the Committee of the Whole at its meeting on September 8, 2021.

The Committee of the Whole at its meeting was presented parking scenarios for the land uses of most concern. The land uses of most concern included multiple family residential, including senior citizen apartment housing (independent living), day care and restaurant.

The proposal for the mixed-use land use is to add language that would allow the Planning and Housing Commission to consider a reduction in the parking requirement for a commercial retail center greater than 20 acres subject to the preparation of a shared parking analysis prepared by a City of Corona Page 3 of 4 Printed on 9/15/2021

File #: 21-0853
center greater than 20 acres subject to the preparation of a shared parking analysis prepared by a traffic engineer registered by the State of California. Shared parking is generally defined as parking space that can be used to serve two or more individual land uses without conflict. The shared parking methodology operates under the assumption that different land uses have different peak parking demand times. Shared parking would be applicable to non-residential land uses.

This study session also allows the Commission to discuss the parking requirements on land uses of interest, including the existing land uses where staff has proposed no change to the parking requirement.

Next Steps
Following this study session, staff will prepare an amendment to the Parking Ordinance and applicable specific plans on the proposed changes. The proposed amendment will be brought before the Planning and Housing Commission at a future meeting for review and for a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed amendment.
