Adopt the attached resolution (ATTACHMENT 1) approving the implementation of a "Resident Only" parking restriction on Cleveland Avenue between Paularino Avenue and Dorset Lane, Paularino Avenue Westbound between Coolidge Avenue and Van Buren Avenue, and Paularino Avenue Eastbound between Van Buren Avenue and the alley east of Paularino Avenue. 2. Authorize the Transportation Services Manager to extend the "resident only" parking restriction for a maximum of 1,000 feet as needed. BACKGROUND: In November 2015, a petition was received from the residents of Paularino Avenue, Arthur Avenue, Dorset Lane, Buchanan Way, and Cleveland Avenue requesting the implementation of a "resident only" parking restriction on their streets (ATTACHMENT 2). The petition represents 61 out of 89 households that would be directly affected by the requested parking restriction. These residents have expressed their concerns with a lack of on—street parking availability in their neighborhood due to parking intrusion by vehicles that are unrelated to their neighborhood. There are several nearby multi -family dwellings that could be the source of the parking intrusion. The attached map (ATTACHMENT 3) depicts the surrounding land uses, streets, and the location of the subject area under consideration. ANALYSIS: According to the recent guidelines adopted by the City Council in January 2016 (ATTACHMENT 4), neighborhood parking intrusions are considered "significant" if 70% or more of all available parking (on -street and visible off-street parking available to residents) are utilized by vehicles at any time. In an effort to determine the level of parking intrusion on the subject streets, Transportation Services Division staff has conducted several parking surveys during various times, including weekdays and weekends. The results of these surveys revealed that during the 1 most congested periods (evenings and on weekends), more than 70 percent of available parking was utilized on segments of Paularino Avenue and Cleveland Avenue, thereby meeting the minimum requirements set by the guidelines for consideration of establishing "resident only" permit parking. These segments are westbound Paularino Avenue from Coolidge Avenue to Van Buren Avenue, eastbound Paularino Avenue from Van Buren Avenue to the alley east of Cleveland Avenue, and Cleveland Avenue from Paularino Avenue to Dorset Lane. Other streets surveyed in response to the petition did not meet this threshold. Staff will re-evaluate these streets in the future after the implementation of the "resident only" permit parking on segments of Cleveland Avenue and Paularino Avenue is completed. If a "resident only" permit parking restriction is authorized, signs will be posted restricting parking on the affected street to only vehicles displaying a valid permit. Affected households may obtain up to three (3) permits for their legally registered vehicles upon providing proof of residence in the subject street segment. Additionally, guest permits, valid for a 24-hour period, will be provided to residents for their visitors. The City does not charge a fee for these permits. If the City Council approves the implementation of a "resident only" permit parking restriction on the subject streets, it is possible that the effect of this restriction would shift some parking intrusion onto other nearby streets. Therefore, the attached resolution provides the Transportation Services Manager with the authority to extend the limits of the permit parking area up to 1,000 feet in distance from the subject streets, as necessary to address continued resident concerns. This action will be based on each "extended" area meeting the minimum adopted guideline criteria in addition to receiving a qualifying petition. Notice of City Council consideration of this item has been sent to all affected residents. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: An alternative to the requested "resident only" parking restriction is to implement time - restricted parking or an overnight parking restriction. However, time -restricted parking or an overnight parking restriction will impact the residents and thus will likely not be supported by residents. This type of parking restriction also places increased demands on the City's Police services. Another alternative would be to not approve "resident only" permit parking. This alternative would leave the streets without any parking control restriction and will result in continued resident concerns for lack of available street parking due to parking intrusion by non- residents. FISCAL REVIEW: The cost to manufacture and install signs for the implementation of a "resident only" parking restriction is approximately $750.00. If authorized, funds are available through the existing traffic maintenance account for this purpose. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached resolution as to form and content. 0 CONCLUSION: A petition was received from residents of Paularino Avenue, Arthur Avenue, Dorset Lane, Buchanan Way, and Cleveland Avenue requesting the implementation of a "resident only" parking restriction on these streets. Staff has conducted a series of parking surveys on these streets and has confirmed that some segments of Paularino Avenue and Cleveland Avenue meet the Council -approved guidelines for consideration of "resident only" permit parking. Parking on other streets are below the threshold for "resident only" permit parking implementation. The petition and parking conditions on the recommended streets are in conformance with guidelines adopted by City Council. Therefore, after considering all alternatives, staff recommends the implementation of a "resident only" parking restriction on westbound Paularino Avenue from Coolidge Avenue to Van Buren Avenue, eastbound Paularino Avenue from Van Buren Avenue to the alley east of Cleveland Avenue, and Cleveland Avenue from Paularino Avenue to Dorset Lane. Staff also requests authorization for the Transportation Services Manager to extend the parking restriction for a maximum of 1,000 feet as needed, based on a qualifying petition from affected residents and meeting Council -adopted guidelines.

Box 1200 FROM THE OFFICE OF THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES MANAGER CITY COUNCIL GUIDELINES FOR CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF RESIDENT ONLY PERMIT PARKING Resident only permit parking will be considered in R-1 zones 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. • Requests for installation or removal of resident only permit parking shall be considered on a street by street basis or in segments with minimum of 25 contiguous households. • 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. • When considering requests to implement resident only permit parking, the City will conduct parking surveys to determine the utilization of on -street parking. Neighborhood parking intrusions will be considered "significant" if 70% or more of all available parking (on -street and visible off-street parking available to residents) is utilized at any time. • 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. • Only one signature per household will be considered. • 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. • 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. + 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. s Resident permit parking will be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Costa Mesa Municipal Code summarized below: ➢ Up to three (3) permits will be issued to eligible household based on verification of vehicle registration. ➢ Eligible household is defined as single family or multi -family residence along the designated permit parking street as well as single family residence located in mixed-use neighborhood located within 250 feet of the permit parking street. ➢ One hundred (100) guest parking permits will be issued per year to each eligible household. Each guest pass is for one-time use only. Residents may request up to twenty five (25) guest parking permits for a specific event at their residence. These permits will be date stamped by Public Services Department at the time of issuance. ➢ Parking permits are valid only for the zone they are issued. ➢ Parking permits in each zone expire after three (3) year period and are subject to renewal at that time.
