HomeMy WebLinkAbout07-17-2018 Item 12 - PH - Anholm Residential Parking Permit District Meeting Date: 7/17/2018 FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Public Works Director Prepared By: Alexander Fuchs, Parking Services Supervisor SUBJECT: ANHOLM RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution establishing the Anholm Residential Parking Permit District DISCUSSION Background Section 10.36.170 of the City’s Municipal Code outlines two different processes to establish a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD). One process is property owner initiated and the other process is City Council initiated. The difference is that, for a City initiated parking district proposal, the code states that the City Council “should” establish an RPPD if it finds that 1) the area is predominantly residential, 2) the streets are congested with vehicles parked by persons not residing in the area, 3) the designation is supported by a majority of the affected households as indicated by a city survey, and 5) limiting parking of vehicles along the streets in a designated area to the residents of that area is necessary in order to preserve the character of the existing neighborhood. On the other hand, the code states the City Council “may” establish a RPPD after receiving a request from a property owner, holding a public hearing, and making a finding that the establishment of the district represents the desire of a majority of the households of the area. Pursuant to the above Municipal Code section, the following steps were conducted in order to make this recommendation to Council: 1. In October 2017, the City received a request from residents living on the 700 block of Rougeot Place to establish a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD). 2. In February 2018, the Council adopted the Broad Street Bicycle Boulevard (Anholm Bikeway) Plan with the direction to investigate the support for establishing a parking district in the Anholm area (of which Rougeot Place is in), if desired by the neighborhood. The Anholm Bikeway, as approved, may result in the removal of parking on certain blocks within the neighborhood. The removal of parking would further restrict the available parking to residents of the area. As direction was given by Council to investigate the formation of a district, an informal survey of the potential affected area was not required. 3. In March, staff met informally with residents to discuss parking issues in their neighborhood. Discussions also included the RPPD formation process, potential enforcement hours that may address the parking impacts or issues. PACKET PAGE 541 12 4. Staff studied the residential area from Foothill Boulevard to Lincoln St reet and Santa Rosa Street to Broad Street to determine the potential affected area. Information used to determine a potential affected area included: car counts collected by the City’s Transportation Engineering Division in September and October 2017 as part of the Broad Street Bike Boulevard work effort (See Attachment A), feedback received from resident at the public meeting and by other communications, and field observations made by staff to determine where a survey should be conducted. 5. In April, staff held a community meeting at the San Luis Obispo Library’s Community Room to publicly present the potential affected area, discuss the RPPD process, and to answer parking-related questions. After the community meeting, staff mailed formal surveys to all the households in the potential affected area to determine support, if any for a district. 6. Staff then used the results from the formal survey responses to determine the proposed district boundaries and proposed district enforcement hours. Potential Affected Area There are two existing parking Districts near the Anholm neighborhood area. First is the Palomar-Serrano District that includes the 500-600 blocks of Serrano Drive, the 10 block of Palomar Avenue, and the 600 block of Luneta Drive. Second is the Murray Street District that includes the 800 block of Murray Street. Due to the adjacency of these existing districts, staff determined it was prudent to survey the residents residing in them to determine if there is support amongst the households to incorporate their districts with the new proposed district. The expansion of these parking districts will come to Council at a later date. Formal Survey Results On April 27, staff mailed each household within the potential affected area an introduction letter, a formal survey ballot, a copy of the relevant City ordinances, and a return envelope. Formal survey ballots needed to be completed and returned to the Parking Services office no later than May 18, 2018 to be included in the count. A total of 253 households surveys were mailed, with 108 completed and returned to the Parking Services office by the deadline. Only the returned surveys were used to determine the boundaries. Consistent with the recommendations made in 2004 by a task force that was established to improve the RPPD process, the residents living within the area were surveyed, not the property owners. Figure 1 below is an illustration of the formal survey results. The green lines represent blocks that met the 60% in-favor threshold while the red lines represent blocks that did not meet the 60% in-favor threshold. See Attachment B for a breakdown of the formal survey results by block. PACKET PAGE 542 12 Figure 1 – Formal Survey Results The City’s municipal code sections 10.36.170 to 10.36.232 govern Residential Parking Permit Districts. Section 10.36.170 requires that at least 60% of the completed and returned formal surveys be in-favor of the establishment of a district for the request to be forwarded to Council for consideration if the process is initiated by residents. If the process is initiated by City Council, then Council must make the finding that establishing a district represents the desire of a majority of residents of the area. Of the blocks surveyed, the following indicated households in-favor of establishing a new or maintaining their existing RPPD: • the 700-800 blocks of Murray Avenue; • 700-800 blocks of Meinecke Avenue; • 10 block of Rougeot Place west of Chorro Street; • 10 block of Palomar Avenue; • 500-700 blocks of Serrano Drive; and • 600 block of Luneta Drive. PACKET PAGE 543 12 Proposed District Boundaries Based on the formal survey responses received, staff recommends formation of a parking district with boundaries that include the 10 block of Rougeot Place, 10 block of Chorro Street, and 700- 800 blocks of Meinecke Avenue. Even though the 10 block of Chorro Street and Rougeot Place east of Chorro Street did not individually meet the 60% threshold, the overall combined area that constitutes the proposed district meets the 60% threshold in-favor of establishing a district and conforms with the requirements of Section 10.36.170. This will create contiguous district boundaries and avoid secondary impacts on these segments from the formation of the RPPD. Figure 2 below shows the proposed Anholm District boundaries. Figure 2 – Proposed District Boundaries Proposed Anholm District Enforcement Hours The formal survey asked households to indicate their preferred enforcement hours. The most common response indicated by the residents was 9 AM to 2 AM, daily. Staff recommends slightly modifying the preferred enforcement hours to 8 AM to 2 AM, daily, so that the start of the enforcement hours align with the start of enforcement the hours for the existing Murray District nearby. Parking Services enforcement personnel would be dispatched during the daytime hours of 9 AM to 6 PM, daily on an as -available basis. Parking Services and the Police Department are working through the final details for enforcement between 6 PM and 2 AM. This is consistent with the City’s Municipal Code section 10.36.232. PACKET PAGE 544 12 CONCURRENCES The proposed enforcement hours of 8 AM to 2 AM, daily partially fall within the responsibility of the Police Department’s Student Neighborhood Assistance Program (SNAP). The enforcement efforts of the district will be a joint effort between Public Works and Police Department. As additional parking districts are implemented, particularly in the overnight hours, additional discussions will be necessary to ensure that adequate funding is available to perform enforcement during these hours. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The recommended actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact for the proposed establishment of the Anholm District, including the installation of signs and signs posts and printing parking permits, is estimated to cost the City approximately $9,500. Some of the cost would be offset by the additional fine revenue collected from enforcement and the sale of annual residential parking permits. The current cost for a permit is $15 annually. There are no budgeted funds for the creation or expansion of Residential Parking Permit Districts and, if approved, the funds would come from other operating line items in the approved 2018-2019 budget that are able to absorb the additional expenses. ALTERNATIVES Deny adoption of the resolution. Staff does not recommend this alternative because responses from affected households meets the criteria set forth in the City’s Municipal Code section 10.36.170.
