SUBJ:
Modification of Parking Management Plan
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution modifying the provision for the establishment of
10-hour parking meter permits to include an option to offer a
reduced rate of $5. 00 per month for qualified residents with 10-
hour meters in front of their residences.
BACKGROUND:
In July 1990, Council adopted Resolution (No.6834) approving the
revised Parking Management Plan. Included in the Existing Parking
Utilization component of the revised plan was the establishment
of a special permit valid at 10-hour parking meters. The intent
of the new permit was to encourage more use of the 10-hour meters
and offer users an economic incentive through a reduced monthly
rate. To date, the program has been reasonably successful with an
average of 60 permits sold each month.
Several months ago the Parking Management Committee was approached
by local residents from the 1000 block of Mill Street with 10-hour
meters in front of their residences. Their concern was that it is
a financial hardship and unfair to have to pay $300 per year to
park in front of their residences during the daytime. They felt
that there should be some relief from the meters and that they
should be able to purchase a residential permit similar to the Cal
Poly area.
DISCUSSION:
The Parking Management Committee considered three options:
1. Direct residents to purchase the 10-hour meter permits at the
regular price like other users. (Status quo of $25. 00 per month)
2. Establish a residential permit district similar to the one
adjacent to Cal Poly for $5 per year.
3. Issue 10-hour meter permits at a reduced rate of $5 or $10 per
month for qualified residents.
The committee agreed with the residents and felt that more than the
status quo should be offered to residents with 10-hour meters on

their block and no off-street parking. Option two was not chosen
because the intent of the Cal Poly permit district is to keep non-
residents out of the area, as opposed to shared use of the 10-hour
meters by residents and non-residents in the mixed-use area of the
Parking Meter District.
The option of issuing monthly permits at a reduced rate was the
final recommendation of the committee. However, the committee felt
that residents should use their off-street parking options before
they apply for residential 10-hour meter permits. Each household
would be eligible for two monthly permits at $5.00 each.
The permits would only be valid at 10-hour meters in their
neighborhood (one block in any direction of their address which has
10-hour meters) and would not allow overnight parking where it is
prohibited.
CONCURRENCES:
The Parking Management Committee and Public Works staff concur with
the recommendation to establish a residential 10-hour meter permit
at a reduced monthly rate for residents who live in the
neighborhood. This is in compliance with the Parking Management
Plan goal of protecting the character of downtown and surrounding
office and residential zones. Residents have also concurred with
the $5 per month option.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total number of residences that could possibly be eligible is
approximately 25 throughout the downtown area. Not all residences
would purchase permits, however, the potential loss in 10-hour
meter permit revenue (assuming these residents currently feed
meters) could range from $11-200 to $6,000 annually. There will be
some staff time utilized in issuing permits.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Not offer the 10-hour residential permit.
2 . Offer it at a more reduced rate, or higher rate.
3 . Offer a semi-annual or annual permit at $60 or $120.
Maintaining the full price for all users eliminates the loss of
revenue but does not meet the management plan goal of helping to
preserve the quality of life for residents in the downtown area.
Offering a lower rate would increase the loss of revenue but
benefit the residents.

A higher rate would address the revenue loss issue, but defeat the
original purpose of the residential 10-hour meter permit.
Since these residences are located within commercial-residential
zones within the parking meter district, it is reasonable to charge
a monthly rate of $5. The $5 monthly rate is nearly 90% less than
the normal monthly cost of feeding the meters for 8 hours each day.
The semi-annual or annual permits would be more convenient for the
resident and require less processing time 'for staff. It would also
require a new permit to be developed. This would create
inconsistency with the current process of color coding the permits
each month. Since meter permits are already atypical for
enforcement personnel, another special permit would add to the
problem of specialized enforcement. This option could be explored
further if the demand for residential permits increased.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Considering all the alternatives, staff feels that a monthly rate
of $5, with permits issued monthly, represents the best balance of
conflicting concerns.
