Cost Center: 5101
For Agenda of: 3/15/2022
Placement: Public Hearing
Estimated Time: 60 Minutes
FROM: Matt Horn, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Gaven Hussey, Parking Program Manager; Alexander Fuchs, Parking
Services Supervisor
SUBJECT: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE DANA STREET
PARKING DISTRICT TO ALLOW FOR THE ISSUANCE OF LIMITED
DAYTIME USE PERMITS TO ADJACENT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
RECOMMENDATION
1. Introduce an Ordinance entitled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San
Luis Obispo, California, amending Title 10, Chapter 36 (Stopping, Standing and
Parking for Certain Purposes or in Certain Places), of the San Luis Obispo Municipal
Code Allowing for the Issuance of Limited Daytime Use Permits in the Dana Street
Parking District”; and
2. Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo, California, modifying the Preferential Parking Permit District for the Dana
Street area of the City, establishing the issuance of Limited Daytime Use Permits for
commercial properties immediately adjacent to the district boundaries.”
DISCUSSION
Background
Dana Street is located just west of the downtown area and intersects Nipomo Street near
the future location of the Cultural Arts Parking Structure. Dana Street is made up of 46
residential properties (including five multi-family properties) and three commercial
properties. There are also two commercial properties located on the co rners of Dana
Street and Nipomo Street that are addressed to Nipomo Street but have frontage along
Dana Street. The entire block of Dana Street can accommodate parking for up to 78
vehicles not including private off -street parking spaces.
Dana Street, prior to the implementation of its Residential Parking District (approved by
Council on January 20, 2020), had long been used by residents, visitors, and employees
for their parking needs since it was the closest free parking adjacent to the downtown
area.
Page 965 of 984
Item 6d
Residents of Dana Street contacted staff in 2017 and expressed interest in establishing
a parking district to limit parking impacts generated by persons that do not reside in the
area. The residents were surveyed in 2019 and demonstrated e nough support to bring
forward a recommendation to establish a parking district for Council’s consideration.
On January 14, 2020, Council approved the establishment of a parking district on Dana
Street to only include residential properties with four or fewer units because the Municipal
Code sections that govern parking districts limited participation in the formation process
and restricted eligibility to receive permits to residential properties with four or fewer
units. Since then, the District has been modified to include multi-family properties of up
to eight units and to extend the District to the entire block. A summary of all previous
Council action on the Dana Street Parking District is listed below.
Previous Council Action
The following is a summary of Council action taken on the Dana Street Parking District.
1. January 14, 2020 – Council approved the establishment of the Dana Street
Parking District including a 2-hour timed parking overlay with direction to extend
the district to the entire street, explore providing one permit per unit for multi-family
properties of eight or less, and explore the formation of a special event permit
process.
2. December 8, 2020 – Council directed staff to survey multi-family properties of five
to eight units to ensure a majority wish to be included in the Parking District, return
to Council with Municipal Code amendments and an updated resolution based on
the survey results, and to eliminate the 2-hour timed parking overlay.
3. March 2, 2021 – Council introduced an ordinance and adopted a resolution
allowing for multi-family properties of eight or less to receive parking permits and
extending the district to the entire street.
4. April 6, 2021 – Council approved the seconding reading of the Ordinance codifying
the changes to the parking district formation process.
Request for Limited Daytime Use Permits
Throughout the districting process and beyond, Staff has received correspondence from
business and property owners located on Dana Street or immediately adjacent to the
district requesting permission to participate in the District. Prior to February 15, 2022, the
City only had the necessary Municipal Code language for the formation of preferential
parking districts for residential uses so alternate solutions were implemented. These
alternate solutions included the installation of a passenger loading zone on Dana Street
near the corner Nipomo Street as well the establishment of a courtesy customer pick -up
and drop-off zone on Nipomo Street just south of Dana Street. These efforts have
addressed some, but not all, of the businesses’ operational needs.
Page 966 of 984
Item 6d
Staff conducted an occupancy study of the Dana Street area on days and times shown in
Table 1 below. The peak observed on-street parking occupancy occurred at 3pm and
again at 6pm on Sunday, February 20, 2022, in which sixteen vehicles were parked. At
peak times, there were still 80% of on-street parking spaces available for use. This may
be due to residential parking impacts mainly occurring in the evening and nighttime hours
when residents return home from work for the night. Nonetheless, staff is confident given
the results of the occupancy study that the issuance of daytime use permits to adjacent
businesses would not significantly impact on-street parking availability for Dana Street
residents.

Table 1: Observed On-Street Parking Occupancy in the Dana Street Area
In recognition of the open daytime parking availability, staff is recommending the
introduction of an Ordinance (Attachment A) amending the applicable Municipal Code
sections to allow the issuance of limited daytime use permits to adjacent commercial
properties (520 Dana Street, 550 Dana Street, 583 Dana Street, 991 Nipomo Street, 1015
Nipomo Street and 1023 Nipomo Street). The permits would be useable between 8am
and 6pm, daily, when the on-street occupancy is low. Each addressed unit of the adjacent
commercial properties would be eligible to receive up to two permits which is the same
number of permits available to eligible qualifying Dana Street residential properties of
fewer than five units.
Staff is also recommending the adoption of a Resolution (Attac hment B) modifying the
Dana Street Parking District to include specific adjacent commercial properties that would
be allowed to receive the limited daytime use permits.
Policy Context
The California Vehicle Code section 22507 allows local authorities to restrict or prohibit
parking on certain streets except for permitted residents, merchants, and their guests.
The language of this Vehicle Code section has been interpreted to allow cities to establish
parking districts exclusively for residents, businesses, or both. In January 2022, City
Council approved the expansion of the City’s parking permit program to allow commercial
properties to establish parking districts. City Council has the authority to determine the
number of parking permits issued per addressed unit, the days and hours that the permits
are valid, and which type of properties are eligible to receive permits.
Page 967 of 984
Item 6d
Public Engagement
Staff have met with business owners to verify their needs and conducted occupancy
surveys to better understand the parking impacts during daytime hours. A postcard was
mailed to all residents and property owners within 300 feet of the Dana Street Parking
District notifying them of the public hearing to present the proposed modifications for
Council consideration.
CONCURRENCE
The City’s Attorney’s office has reviewed the ordinance and determined that the
amendments to the applicable Municipal code sections are legally permissible.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in
this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines
Sec. 15378.

*As of February 14, 2022
The Parking Fund’s current budget can accommodate one -time and on-going costs
associated with the establishment and expansion of parking permit districts. The Fund
receives multiple requests each year and staff has included an annual budget for
establishing districts in the non-staffing operating expenditure line items.
The initial costs to implement a limited daytime use permit program is approximately
$3,000 for the hangtag permits. The ongoing costs for the annual hangtag permits after
the initial year will cost approximately $2.50 per permit when ordered for all districts. The
cost of permits and staff time to administer the parking district program is largely offset by
the annual permit cost of $20 per permit which generated $35,125 in revenue in FY 2020-
21.
Page 968 of 984
Item 6d
Staff is pursuing digital permit technology which will reduce ongoing costs and staff time
to administer the program. Digital permit technology is anticipated to be implemented by
Fall 2022.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Modify Ordinance and adopt the resolution to include a termination of permit
issuance that coincides with the completion of the Cultural Arts Parking
Structure. Council could modify the language of the Ordinance to include a
termination of permit issuance that aligns with the completion of the C ultural Arts
Parking Structure as there is precedent which aligns for permit issuance to multi-family
properties of five to eight units. Additional planned parking programs offered at the
parking structures should meet the needs of the businesses that were impacted by
the formation and expansion of the Dana Street Parking District.
2. Do not amend the Municipal Code. Staff does not recommend this alternative since
the issuance of limited daytime use permits does not adversely affect parking of
residents living within the Dana Street Parking District and the issuance of the permits
supports the businesses that occupy the adjacent commercial properties.

Page 971 of 984
Ordinance No. _____ (2022 Series) Page 2
O ____
10.36.170 Designation of preferential parking permit areas —Adoption of
resolution.
A. The council should, by resolution, designate an area of the city as a preferential
parking permit area if the council finds that:
1. The streets in the area do not provide for paid parking controlled and
regulated by the city as set forth in Chapter 10.52;
2. The streets in the area are congested with vehicles parked by persons not
residing or working in the area and the designation is supported by a sixty
percent majority of the affected addressed units as indicated by a city
survey of the affected addressed units; or
3. Limiting the parking of vehicles along the streets in the area to vehicles
registered or controlled and exclusively used by persons residing in an
area or working in the area is necessary in order to preserve the character
and to manage parking demand of the existing area approved by a sixty
percent majority of addressed units in the area. Addressed units will be
determined using the city’s address database (there may be more than one
addressed unit per parcel) and will be limited to either commercial units or
residential units, including non-multifamily units of less than five dwelling
units with the exception of the preferential parking permit district on Dana
Street which will allows for the following modifications:
i. Mmultifamily units of five to eight dwelling units to be eligible to receive
permits. This exception will be in effect until the completion of construction
of the Palm-Nipomo parking structure or until nullified by city council action.
ii. Commercial properties located on or immediately adjacent to Dana
Street to be eligible to receive limited daytime use permits.
B. In determining whether limiting the parking of vehicles along the streets in the
area to vehicles registered to or controlled and used exclusively by persons
residing or working in the area is necessary in order to preserve the character
of the existing area for the persons residing or working in the area, the council
shall consider the negative effect of vehicles parked by persons not residing or
working in the area on:
1. Environmental characteristics such as ambient noise levels and air pollution
levels;
2. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety in the area; and
3. The burden on persons residing or working in the area gaining access to
their residences or places of employment.
