south half of 24th street between pico Boulevard and Pearl street
have petitioned against the implementation of preferential

would not install the preferential parking signs. However, the
ordinance should be adopted in its current form, and if in the
future the residents want two-hour preferential parking, they can
petition and the City can implement preferential parking with
little delay and not require the long preferential parking
process. This representative of the petitioners agreed with
staff's recommendation. All of the other signers of the petition
were advised of this by letter, a copy of which is attached.
staff has only received one response to the letter and the
resident expressed concurrence with staff's approach.
Recommendation
It is respectfully recommended that the accompanying ordinance be
adopted.
