CITY COUNCIL GUIDELINES FOR CONSIDERATION OF
INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF RESIDENT ONLY PERMIT PARKING
Resident only permit parking will be considered in residential areas to address high levels
of vehicle parking in a residential area for the specific purpose of access to other
residential, business or entertainment activities unrelated to the affected street or
neighborhood. The use of resident only permit parking is appropriate in areas where
other parking control measures have been considered and failed and a true need has been
documented by Transportation Services staff. The use of resident only permit parking
should be limited to this type of installation and not as a first level parking control
measure.
1. Requests for installation or removal of resident only permit parking shall be
considered on a street by street basis.
2. Streets or portions of streets to be considered must be contiguous block by block,
and consistent with any adjacent parking prohibitions.
The creation of an isolated resident only permit parking "island" unrelated to
surrounding land use or current parking conditions will not be allowed.
4. When considering requests to implement resident only permit parking, the City
will conduct parking surveys to determine the utilization of on -street parking by
vehicles unrelated to the neighborhood. Neighborhood parking intrusions will be
considered "significant' if 50% or more of available parking is utilized by
vehicles unrelated to the neighborhood at any time, and/or 40% or more is utilized
for more than a 24 hour period.
5. A petition signed by a majority (51% or greater) of households along the affected
subject street must be submitted to install or remove resident only permit parking
prohibition.
6. Only one signature per household will be considered.
7. Upon receipt of a valid (majority) petition, the City will send notification of the
resident only permit parking installation or removal request to all households on
the affected subject street or street segment.
(DD
8. Notification will also be made to households on adjacent streets, which may be
affected by the requested action. Notification will advise residents of the
requested action and afford them the opportunity to voice their opinions to the
Transportation Services Manager. Based on input received, the Transportation
Services Manager may determine to conduct a neighborhood meeting on the
request.
9. If the Transportation Services Manager approves the requested change in parking
control, a recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
If the Transportation Services Manager disapproves of the request, an appeal may
be made for City Council review by forwarding a letter of request, along with
associated fees, to the City Clerk's Office. Once final action has been taken by
the City Council, no further changes or requests for changes in resident only
permit parking prohibitions for this street segment will be considered for a
minimum period of one year.
