Policy 9A: Minimize the need for more long-term parking facilities and encourage short-term shopper parking. Parking spaces are provided primarily by private property owners, the City through on-street parking, and through assessment districts. Parking requirements for residential, co;mnercial, industrial, and other uses ar~ contained in the City's 1978 Zoning Ordinance. ----___ _ _._, ~-'-'.-·--- Assessment districts have been used to develop publicly owned parking lots in the l}niversity Avenue and California Avenue business districts. Property owners who pay annual assessments have not. been required to provide their own of fstreet parking. Policy 9 and 9A apply to publicly provided and privately provided pgrking. Publicly Provided Parking The projected parking demands in 1990 sho~ that construction of ne'oif parking facilities in the Downtown and California Avenue business districts may become necessary. The 1976 Comprehensive Plan contained programs to designate on-street parking in business districts primarily for short-term parking and to restripe parking lots for compact cars. These programs have become part of continuing city activities. The 1978 Downtown Parking Management Plan specified steps that could be taken to deal with parking problems in the University Avenue area. It recognized that costly new parking facilities could be avoided by pursuing policies and p1ogra1DS designed to discourage auto use. Frogr41ft 23: Develop a program to regulate parking on streets in and next to business districts. Progralft 24: Help plan and develop sh 'rt-tera parking. In its assessment diatricts, the City should emphasize providing more short-term shopper parking. not more long-tera employee p.arking. Shopping trips are the most difficult to attract to transit and the most likely to go elsewhere if parking is difficult. Extensive daytime parking on streets next to business districts hurts the residential areas &n4 should be prevented through regulations. I . • Program 25: Reserve close-in public parking for short-term use. In the public parking lot system, short-term space should be located closest to the shopping areas while long-term parking should get the least desirable spaces. Program 26: Consider the use of park-and-ride lots located at the edge of the City. A way of helping to reduce the effects of commute traffic is to use shuttle buses, cabs, or other forms of transportation to take people to their jobs from outlying parking lots. Privately Provided Parking The following programs will insure that the parking needs of the community are met with the least amount of paving and disruption to adjacent residential areas: Program 28: Update the Zoning Ordinance periodically to reflect changes in the ratio· of compact cars to standard-size cars. Prog~am 29: Encourage holding some required parking spaces in landscaped reserve until they are needed. The Zoning Ordinance requires new parking lots to have a minimum number of spaces designed for small cars. It also allows for up to half the area needed for the required spaces to be held in landscaped reserve rather than paved. Tilis requires City approval. Program 30: Encourage employers to give a transportation allowance instead of free or inexpensive parking. Free or inexpensive parking provided by an ·employer is an employee benefit with a certain monetary value. This benefit encourages the use of automobiles. Employers could give transport at ion allowances to employees who choose t·C> travel by other than private auto. The number of automobile parking spaces could then possibly be reduced for a saving to the employer. •n" .... -.....,,--.----~ t'C-') • '°~ ,.,., k-b .. ~ 1<:J ,.-------~ -"~ ~_________.-. ~ ~ •• ,.._ . \ :_ l r --- • -LIJ z a: t-------1 t&.I u..

Property owners who pay annual assessments have not been required to provide their own offstreet parking. Policy 9 and 9A apply to publicly provided and privately provided parking. Publicly Provided Parking The projected parking demands in 1990 show that construction of new narking facilities in the Downtown and California Avenue bu~iness districts may become necessary. The 1976 Comprehensive Plan ~ontained programs to designate on-street parking in business districts primarily for short-term parking and to restripe parking lots for compact cars. These programs have become part of continuing city activities. The 1978 Downtown Parking Management Plan specified steps that could be taken to deal with parking problems in the University Avenue area. It recognized that costly new parking facilities ¢Ould be avoided by pursuing policies and progrllM!I designed to discourage autu use. Program 23: Develop a program to regulate parking on streets in and next to business districts. Program 24: Help plan and develop short-term parking. In its assessment districts, the City should emphasize providing more short-term shopper park:..ng, not more long-term. employee parking. Shopping trips are the most difficult to attract to transit and the most likely to go elsewhere if parking is difficult. Extensive 1 g I daytime parking on streets next to business districts hurts the residential areas and should be prevented through regulations. I Program 25: Reserve close-in public parking for short-term use. In the public parking lot system, short-term space should be located closest to the shopping areas while long-term parking should get the least desirable spaces. Program 26: Consider the use of park-and-ride lots located at the edge of the City. A way of helping to reduce the effects of commute traffic is to use shuttle buses)'fo take people. to their jobs from ou~lying parking lots. c_c~bs.; [ C (-ff'. Ct~, ...,,~ f': rr S -+ -,-( r."10·· ~-. , !'-i c3-+ I t t ' Priv~tely Pr~vided Parking · The following programs will insure that the parking needs of the cOIDl!lunity are met with the least amount of paving and disruption to adjacent residential areas: Program 28: Update the Zoning Ordinance periodically to reflect changes in the ratio of compact cars to standard-size care. Program 29: Encourage holding some required parking spaces ~n landscaped reserve until they are needed. The Zoning Ordinance requires new parking lots to have a minimum number of spaces designed for stnall cars. It also allows for up to half the area needed for the required spaces to be held in landscaped reserve rather than paved. This requires City approval. Program 30: Encourage employers to give a transportation allowance instead of free or inexpensive parking. Free or inexpensive parking provided by an employer is an employee benefit with a certain monetary value. This benefit encourages the use of automobiles. Employers could give transportation allowances to employees who choose to travel by other than private ac~o. The number of automobile parking spaces could then possibly be reduced for a saving to the employer. .. 111 .. ,..t 1111h&\o. .,...,.1,,.,, Md C09t rldt'r~ 1'1'lllt1nly Uttll'.

It rt; \ SE.E. Fr;. ~F 6 t ~ L l~B • • ln 1980, Stanford, the Clty and the County worked on a new aet of land uae categories and definitions which WE're incorporated iuto the County Genei-al Plan. Most University lands '<iest of Junipero Serra Boulevard are designated University Lands/Academic Reserve and Open Space in the County Genentl Plan. This land use cate- r,ory, which is compatible with the City's Open Space .•• Controlled Development designation, allows open space and low intensity academic uses including some limit:cd amounts A of housing. Also, in response to a Palo Alto City Council request, Stanford was working on planning studies for the area south of Foothill Expressway and east of ?age Mill Road> known as Stanford North and South and Coyote Hill. The University had also initiated a study of its land south of ,Junipero St:!rra Boulevard. In applying the 1978 Zoning Ordinance to parcels, the B Plan's housing policies were used. Especially important policies included reducing multiple-family density near single family areas and concentrating higher multiple- family density near comnercial areas. The 1978 Zoning Ordinance modified the co111nercial dis- trict regulations to encourage the mixing of housing ln cooaercial areas as called for in the Plan's Housing and Employment Sections. • • B (eon+.) 'nle 1980 updated Plan ident!f ies the need, in Housing Program 8, to encourage the mixing of housing in indus- trial areas. Modifications to the Zoning Ordinance will be needed to implement this program. .. . SMttr~.._,, Ruld&Wlitll: HK!Wcs -dwelli111 unit Oii -" _.
