1. Com�act Ratio

C:i: - 3:'4:; ,��'_
FL' �r . nrPT.
a. The "standard size" parking spzce (9' X lII' to 9' X 20'),
required by most parking ordinances, acco�imodates full-size
cars, class 11, 12 or 13 (*). The proportion of registration
of full-sized cars has steadily declined from 76% in 1958 to
22.`� in 1974. By comparisor., s�nall car (class 8) reqistration
nas ircreased fror 21" in 1953 to 59� in 1974. Intermediate
size (class 9 or 10) car registration increased from 3% to 19%
during the same period (see Attachment A).
b. This trer,d is unlikely to be reversed, considering the severe
concerns over depletion of energy supplies, the rising cost of
fuel, pollutant effects and crowded roads. Today, many models
that are considered "full size", such as the Cadillac Seville,
Ford Grarada, Piercury Ptonarch, Mercedes Benz 450 SEL, etc.,
are really Class 9 inter�ediate size cars. Their cost and
po�ularity demonstrate that the public is indeed willing to
pay high prices for cars which are less than "standard size".
c. The pcpularity of small cars (Class 8 and less) has also been
w211 deronstrated, particularly as small cars have bzcome more
efficient, co��fcrtable and better built, such as the Honda
Accerd, Volks.�asen Rabbit, etc. As fuel cost substantially
increases, which it rrust, in addition to the other prcblems
mentioned above, the demand for this class will grow even
faster than it already has.
d. Although the registration of small cars of Class 8 or less is
well over 50ro, small cars �rill frequently be parked in standard
size spaces if the driver finds this to be significantly more
conv2nient than heading towirds stalls assigned as compact
spaces, znd/or if th2 compact spaces are not distinctly marked
and located. Although there are several scher�es (some patented,
such as �he Drachman Syster) which induce small cars to park in
the compact spaces assigned to them, many communities have
establisned a maximum ratio of 20Y to 25;6 or more for compact
stalls and have found that this has adequately compensated for
the number of small cars which incorrectly park in the standard
stalls.
(*) "Class 11" is defined as a car that occupies 11 to 11.99 square meters
(118 to 129 sq. ft.) of plan area. The older terminology of "Class
120" (120 sq, ft.) is equivalent to the current "Class 11."

Several examples of cor;pact parking ratios perTitted by Bay
Area communities are:
- San Francisco: 20% after first 20 cars.
- Larkspur: 25Y after first 20 cars, or up to 40� if
compensated by additional landscaping.
- Sunnyvale: 25%
- Redwood City: 20w
e. Stall Sizes:
A compact stall size of 8' X 17' o-iill acco�odate cars
through Class 9(interrr2diates sucn as Ford Grana�a,
Cadillac Seville) in size, or almost t:vo-thirds of
passenger cars registered. The width cf cars in Class
9 range from 5' to 6.2', �•ihich w-ould leave fro� 3' to 1.9'
(36" to 21.6") between adjaceni parRed cars. This dista^:e
is recorrmended as 16" mini�um, 20" optir,:m (see Rti�c��-,er.t Cj,
and therefore there wculd be sore leeway for cars r,�t centered
in the stalls.
2. A stall size of 8.5' X 19' will accomnodate ccrs thr�u5h
Class 11 size with a distance bwtween centereC a�jacenc cars
of 22". The only passenger cars which exceed Class 11 (!575)
are the Cadillac Fleetwood, the largest Lincoln and the 2,:ick
Electra.

2. Parkinq Ratios
Surveys of existing office buildings and recommendations by the
National High.aay Research Board and Wilbur Smith and Associates;
ordinances enacted by other communities (Attachn;ent D), indicate
that satisfactory parking quantities have been acheived by parking
ratios of 2 to 3 spaces per 1,C00 sq, ft. of gross office floor
area (1/500 to 1/333 sG. ft), particularly where adequate public
transportation is avai.lable nearby (*). Since the intended first
floor uses a�ould primarily serve the building occupants, the
parking generated by these uses would be less than if they were
primarily used by outside visitors.
(*) Surlingame's parking ordinance presently reGuires 1 space per "s00
sq. ft. of gross floor area for offices and banks and 1 per 400
sq. ft. for retail uses.

3. SumrrarY
It is proposed that parking needs be accorrmodated by tne fo:lowing �
variances:
a. Permission to provid2 up to 25� of the total nur,ber of required
spaces as compact stalls 8' X 17' �Nith a 22' aislz for 90° -
compact parking, and a 12' aisle for 45° compact parking.
b. Permission to reduce the requirzd number of parking spzces from
the amount required by the present p�rking ordinance to the
quantities shown on the exhibit drawings,
c. To provide assurance to the City that parking needs wili s�ili be
satisfactory, actual parking denand and usage, as cor,�ared te
occupied floor area and uses, would b2 v2rifi2d by r;2�neds
satisfactory to tne City when tne building is abQut 5u� cccupi2d.
If a shortage is found to exist at that time, the Cwner vrould
guarantee that he would rectify the shortase fcr tne er�tire
building, if any, by rrethods acc2ptable to the City.
The basis and justification for the request r'or variance is sur;arized
by the following points:
a. Decline of "full-sized" car registration to less than 25=; and the
accompanying rapid increase of snall czr regis�ratior,.to �„ore tnan
60% as a result of the following factors: '
1) Rising fuel cost and depletion of erergy suppl�es.
2) Pollutant efiects
3) Crowded roads
4) Operating economy and lower initial cost of small cars
5) Increase in quality of small cars
6) Maneuverability of sr;all cars
b. Availability of good public bus iransit systen adjacent to
the site.
c. Adjacency of hotels and other buildings within �•ralking distance.
d. The reductton of paved area to reduce negaiive visual impacts
and to increase landscaped areas and public pdth.}�ay.
e. The elimination of the need to provide double d2ck �zrkirc and!�r
basement parking with their neaative visual ard econc�^ic ir,.pac�s.
f. The economic burden of the existing 3-level basemznt excavation
which had been constructed for a project mucn larger in size.

Re: Proposed Office Building
1350 Old Bayshore Highway
Dear Chairman Taylor:
The purpose of this letter is to set forth our proposal for the utilization
of the basement and the ground level retail spaces of the proposed projec�.
It should be emphasized that the basement level is not suitable for acceptable
office tenant uses. This level is a thick walled concrete enclosure with no
outside window area. We would not go to the expense to create a basement
except for the existence of a costly foundation. Although it's an oversimpli-
fication in the project's present state, it's not much more costly to build a
basement than to fill the existing "hole." �
We have no intention of allowing an occupancy in the basement which would
increase the daytime parking requirement and impose a hardship on the lease-
ability of the upper office levels. A portion of the basement would be reserved
for mechanical equipment rooms and uti.lity rooms for the customary electric,
gas, water and telephone services necessary for a building of this size. 7he
basement would be solely for the use of the tenants and include individually
walled off storage areas for dead files, unused furniture, sales samples, etc.
Other uses under consideration would include health and gym facilities for the
tenants' exclusive use and, perhaps, computer equipment and tape storage.
Other public uses which would be non-conflicting with the daytime parking might
be a dinner restaurant, discotheque or meeting rooms which would be made
'available to the surrounding hotels.
Mr. Thomas C. Taylor
May 2, 1977
Page 2
The retail space on the ground level would be primarily for the use of the
tenants in the building and, secondarily, to accommodate the guests of the
hotels in the area. We anticipate such uses as a delicatessen, photo copy
center, dry cleaner, variety store (offering food, magazines, etc.), beauty
salon and barber shop. In addition, approximately 5000 sq. ft. would be
allocated for a branch bank or savings and loan installation.
I hope that the above cormients respond adequately to your desire for additional
information about the intended use of these two levels.
Very truly yours, �

PARKING
1. Compact Ratio
a. The "standard size" parking space (9' X 18' to 9' X 20'),
required by most parking ordinances, accommodates full-size
cars, class 11, 12 or 13 (*). The proportion of registration
of full-sized cars has steadily declined from 76� in 1958 to
22% in 1974. By comparison, small car (class 8) registration
has increased from 21% in 1958 to 59q in 1974. Intermediate
size (class 9 or 10) car registration increased from 3� to 19%
during the same period (see Attachment A). �
b. This trend is unlikely to be reversed, considering the severe
concerns over depletion of energy supplies, the rising cost of
fuel, pollutant effects and crowded roads. Today, many models
that are considered "full size", such as the Cadillac Seville,
Ford Granada, Mercury Monarch, Mercedes Benz 450 SEL, etc.,
are really Class 9 interrnediate size cars. T�7eir cost and
popularity demonstrate that the public is indeed willing to
pay high prices for cars which are less than "standard size".
c. The popularity of small cars (Class 8 and less) has also been
well demonstrated, particularly as small cars have become more
efficient, comfortable and better built, such as the Honda
Accord, Volkswagen R�bbit, etc. As fuel cost substantially
increases, which it must, in addition to the other problems
mentioned above, the demand for this class will grow even
faster than it already has.
d. Although the registration of small cars of Class 8 or less is
well over 50q, small cars will frequently be parked in standard
size spaces if the driver finds this to be significantly more
convenient than heading towards stalls assigned as compact

9 range from 5' to 6.2', which would leave from 3' to 1.8'
(36" to 21.6") between adjacent parked cars. This distance
is recommended as 16" minimum, 20" optimum (see Attachment C),
and therefore there wauld be some leeway for cars not centered
in the stalls.
2. A stall size of 8.5' X 19' will accommodate cars through
Class 11 size with a distance bwtween centered adjacent cars
of 22". The only passengPr cars wliich exceed Class 11 (1975)

3. Summar
It is proposed that parking needs be accommodated by the following
variances:
a. Permission to provide up to 25% of the total number of required
spaces as compact stalls 8' X 17' with a 22' aisle for 90°
compact parking, and a 12' aisle for 45° compact parking.
b. Permission to reduce the required number of parking spaces from
the amount required by the present parking o►�dir�ar�ce to the
quantities shown on the exhibit drawings.
c. To provide assurance to the City that parking needs will still be
satisfactory, actual parking demand and usage, as compared to
occupied floor area and uses, would be verified by methods
satisfactory to the City when the building is al�out 50% occupied.
If a shortage is found to exist at that time, tfie Owner would
guarantee that he wou1d rectify the shortage for t:he entire
building, if any, by methods acceptable to the City.
The basis and justification for the request for variance is summarized
by the following points:
a. Decline of "full-sized" car registration to less than 25� and the
accompanying rapid increase of small car registration to more than
60% as a result of the following factors:
1) Rising fuel cost and depletion of energy supplies.
2) Pollutant effects
3) Crowded roads
4) Operating economy and 1ower initial cost of small cars
5) Increase in quality of small cars
6) Maneuverability of small cars t
b. Availability of good public bus transit system adjacent to
the site.
c. Adjacency of hotels and other buildings within walking distance.
d. The reduction of paved area to reduce negative visual impacts
and to increase landscaped areas and public pathway.
e. The elimination of the need to provide double deck parking and/or
basement parking with their negative visual and economic impacts.
f. The economic burden of the existing 3-level basement excavation

DOOFI OPENING CRITERIA
STA�L MIDTH FIELD INVESTIGATION
The adjacent photographs illus[rate exam-
ples of Che field experiments conducted to
de[ermine the minimum satisfac[ory s[all
width in terms of door opening convenience.
The sequence at Che left indica[es e9ress
from the drivers seat with a six[een inch
clearance between vehicles. This is the
clearance resul[ing from full-size cars
parked in the center of eight foot wide
stalls.
The sequence at the right indicates the
same movement wi[h a twe�[y inch clearance
between vehicles. This is the clearance
provided 6e[ween vehicles when cen[ered in
8'-4" wide stalls.
This experimen[ was conduc[ed with a four-
door vehicle and in each case the movement
was acconp}ished without great difficulty.
However, the subject noted a very signifi-
canc increase in effor[ required to make
the exiting movemen2 with the six[eert inch
clearance as compared [o the twenty inch
clearance. _

DDOFI �PEIVING CF;ITERIA
STALL t11DTH FIELD INVESTIGATION - LONT'D.
Additional examples of the field experiments
described on page 58 are illus[rated here.
In this case the vehicle is a full-size [wo-'
door vehicle and the subject is carrying a
briefcase while entering [he car.
The sequence at the left indicates entry
movement with a six[een inch clearance be-
tween vehicles, and the sequence at the
righ[ indicates the same movement with a
twenty inch clearance.
Wi[h [he wider door of the two-door vehi-
cle, movemen[ was noticeably more difficul[
at six[een inches clearance than at twen[y
inches. AS a resul[ of these experiments
and other observations in the field, i[
was concluded that although sixteen inches
was workable with some degree of discom-
fort, the corresponding eight foot stall
wid[h should no[ be recommended as a sat-
isfactory minimum because full-size cars
must be exactly centered in their stalls
to obtain the sixteen inch clearance.
Ni[h an 8'-4" wide staTT, [here is a safe-
[y factor of up to four inches to allow
for cars not centered in stalls.
DOGR GLEi,rZ".NCcS
The available dinension for the door ooening movenent de[ermines the
level of cor.venience provided the parki-ng patron. following procedures
used by Ricker in [he Eno Founda[iort S[udy field observations were
noted on [he 6asis of "res[riction of movement," and "no restriction
of movement." �7estricted !rovemen[5 were noted in onfy five (3.Q6";)
out of 163 observa:ions in iaciii[ies •.ri[h 24" clearance. In 96
o6servations of 1" clearance parking 5[alls 43 res[ricted movements
(4j.5$) .vere recorded_ In one facility utilizing 20" clearance par4ing
stalls 8 res[ricted move`�ents ou[ of 67 observations (11.9$) were noted.
The only restric[ions observeQ in 28" cfearance s[alTs aere with
inproperly parked cars.
