8.A. - Page 16 accommodate the assumed emergency scenario." (Impact 7-10.) Pete's Harbor (411 units) and One Marina (249 units) amounts to 660 units, and as such a secondary access is not yet needed. Traffic Impacts The Appellant's assertion that the amount of "DU is dangerous past the One Marina curve" (p. 6, Appeal) is unfounded. Staff assumes that the Appellant's concerns are with regard to the amount of traffic that will be occurring in this area, "past the One Marina curve". Addendum No. 1 includes an analysis of traffic conditions for a One Marina build-out of 796 units (rather than the 249 units ultimately approved and built), plus construction of 412 units at Pete's Harbor for the cumulative traffic impacts. (Addendum No. 1, p. 3-23; Revised Addendum No. 2, p. 2-1 , 3-28.) Ultimately, One Marina has only 249 residential units. (See Revised Addendum No. 2, p. 3-27.) The One Marina Project was required to adopt mitigation measures based upon the impacts associated with the 1,208 additional residential units (412 plus 796). (See Revised Addendum No. 2, p. 3-27.) The total traffic attributed to full build-out of Pete's Harbor (411 units) and One Marina (249 units) is equal to 660 units. This is 55% of the units assumed in Addendum No. 1 , which is markedly below the assumptions the impacts were based on. Parking Plan Appellant also incorrectly asserts that there is a parking deficit and does not supply any substantial evidence that supports this claim. Staff and BCDC have both worked with the Applicant to ensure that the parking management plan responds to both Project and public access needs. As discussed in the "Expanded Project Description" section of the Planning Commission's February 4, 2014 staff report, the Zoning Ordinance provides that multi- unit housing projects must typically provide for 2.25 spaces (resident and guest) per unit. However, the Zoning Ordinance authorizes modifications under a Planned Development Permit "if it is determined that the proposed development will provide an environment of physical and functional desirability, in harmony with the character of the surrounding neighborhood district." (§ 46.7.A.6.) The Applicant requested, and the Planning Commission approved, a parking management plan of 2 spaces per unit based on a parking management plan that satisfies section 46.7.A.6 assuming multiple components, including the assignment of at least one space per unit and the provision of numerous unassigned spaces for residents and guests, an addition of 33 spaces for boat lessees, active patrol and management of the parking facilities, a pedestrian- friendly setting, and secure bicycle and motorcycle parking (see Parking Provisions table in this report). Moreover, parking is studied in the EIR (p. 7-70) and Revised Addendum No. 2 (p. 3-32). The Applicant has also worked with BCDC's Design Review Board to incorporate their feedback for parking to support the public access areas. The BCDC's feedback included the requirement to provide an additional 7 spaces reserved for public access parking. As previously discussed in this report, the Applicant has incorporated BCDC design review input according to BCDC's current policy and regulatory framework.
