The City Council indicated that the preferent1al park1ng district should operate between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. and should exclude those portions of streets adjacent to schools, churches, and day care centers. In response to th1s d1rection, the accompanying ordinance has been prepared. The accompanying ordinance establishes Preferent1al Parklng Zone C. The proposed ordinance conta1ns the follow- 1ng features: p-€ MAY 2 5 1982 1. Establishment of Preferent~al Parking Zone C on Second and Third Street between Ocean Park Boulevard and the south city lim~ts and Beach Street, Hill Street, Ashland Avenue, pier Avenue, and Marine Street between Second and Third Streets. (Main Street has not been included in accordance w~th Munic1pal Code Section 3231.) 2. Exclusion of the port~on of any such street directly adjacent to a school, church, or a day care facility 1n other than 1n a place of residence. 3. Park1ng in Zone C requIres a permit during the hours of 6:00 p.rn to 2:00 a.m. 4. Removal of any vehicle parked without a permit. 5. An annual permit fee of $ 10.00 per permit. The enabllng ordinance contains provisions relatIng to ISSU- ance of perm1ts, duration of permits, vis1tor permits, exemp- tions, and fines, among other things. See MunicIpal Code Sections 3234-37. At thIS time, an init~al study has not been prepared in accordance w~th the provlsions of the Californ1a Environ- mental Quality Act. Earlier this year, in connection with the proposed preferent~al park~ng distrIct east of Lincoln Boulevard, the city Council concluded that the area had the potentIal of redirecting the traff1c problem to the east of the preferential parking area. In the oplnion of the TraffIc and Parking EngIneer, the same problems might be present wIth this proposed area, and he now believes that Fourth Street would be a better eastern boundary for the area. Therefore, before undertakIng the expense of an Initial study, the pro- posed ordInance is beIng presented at this time to determIne -2- whether or not the City Council is satisfied with the pro- posed boundaries of the area and the exclusions therefrom. If so, comp11ance with the California Environmental Quality Act will be ach1eved prior to return1ng the ordinance to the City Council for adoption. RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the accompanying ordinance be introduced for first reading. PREPARED BY: Robert M.
