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.

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.

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

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.
