Sub~ect Resolution Establishing Preferential Parking Zones QQ and RR
Introduction
This report recommends the City Counal approve a resolution establishing preferential
parking zones QQ and RR on Harvard Street between Wilshire Boulevard and
Washington Avenue, and Paaf~c Street between Euclid Street and Eleventh Street
Discussion
Preferential Parkinp Zone QQ
The resolution establishes Preferential Parking Zone QQ on Harvard Street between
Wdshire Boulevard and Washingtion Avenue Parking restrictions for Zone QQ wdl be
"Two Hour Parking, 9 00 a m to 6 00 p m, Monday through Friday, except by permit "
The proposed restrictions are consistent with the written request of the residents
Harvard Street between Wilshire 8oulevard and Washington Avenue is pnmarily
single-family residences This area is impacted by long term non-resident parkers from
the commercial development along Wilshire Boulevard The parking analysis indicated
1 f ~ ~
ocTa7~
that Harvard Street had peak parking occupancies between 77°/a and BO% between
800amand400pm
AII provisions applicable to preferential parking zones would apply
Preferential Parkinq Zone RR
The resolution also establishes Preferential Parking Zone RR on Pacific Street
between Euclid Street and Eleventh Street Parking restrictions for Zone RR wdl be
"No Parking, 8 00 a m to 8 00 p m, Monday through Thursday, and 8 00 a m to 5 00
p m, Fnday, except by permit " This proposed zone is ad~acent to the college
preferential parking zone and is proposed to have the same parking restrictions
The proposed zone is a single-famdy residential area The area is impacted by non-
resident parkers attending Santa Monica College The parking analysis was conducted
when Santa Monica College was in full session The study indicated that Pacific Street
had peak parking occupancies between 55% and 67% between the hours of 10 00 am
and 4 00 pm It was observed by staff during the parking study that the ma~ority of
these midday parkers were college students These results indicate that the
establishment of preferential parking would help address the non-resident parking
intrusion in this neighborhood
Staff has determined that the proposed area should have hours of enforcement
consistent with the ad~acent college Preferential Parking Zone L The proposed
z
restnctions are consistent with the request of the residents All other provisions
applicable to preferential parking zones would apply
Initial studies were prepared for both proposed parking zones in accordance with the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act Based upon the initiai studies,
negative declarations have been prepared All documents are attached to this Staff
Report Notice of preparation of the negative declarations was given in the manner
required by law
BudqeUFiscal Impact
It is estimated that approximately 200 permits wdl be purchased by area residents in
the proposed zones This will generate approximately $3,000 annually in additionai
revenue in FY 98/99 Budget revenue account 01-210-415-00000-0029-10000 should
be revised to reflect an increase of $3,000 Installation of signs wdl be done by City
crews The departmenYs current budget should be sufficient to finance necessary
expenditures involved with pasting these zones
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Counal
1 Approve the negatroe declarations for each proposed zone
2 Approve the attached resolution establishing Preferential Parking Zones QQ and
RR
Direct Finance Department staff to make the budget ad~ustments outl~ned in this
report

V. DISCUSSION OF ENVIROn'~iE\TAL EVALG'ATION
AREAS CHECKED "NOT SIGIVIFICANT"
1 Earth (a, b, c, d, e, f, g)
The proposed preferent~al parkmg zone and the two alternarive scenanos will not have
geological impacts as the proposals enta~l only the installanon or posUng of signs adjacent
to one block of a crty street and the acquisuion of parkmg permits by neighborhood
residents.
2. Air (a, b, c, d)
The proposed preferenhal parkmg zone and the two altemative scenanos will not
s~gmficantly ~mpac2 ur quahty although some mcreased vehicle emissions would occur in
the short term as dnvers without parlang permits search for on-street parlang dunng an

The proposed preferendal parkmg zone and the two altemahve scenanos will not
sigmficantly impact any present or future land uses in the area and will not result m any
demohtion, remalehng or relocat~on of any residential, commercial or mdustnal facility

I5. Housing (a, b)
The proposed preferent~al parking zone and the two altematrve scenarios will not
sigmficantly impact housmg as the proposals enta~l only the implementahon of an on-strcet

significanUy impact any pubhc nghts of way as no alterations to existmg pubhc nghts-of-
way aze mcluded m the proposals.
17 Transportation/Circulation (a, b, c, d, e, t~
The proposed preferential pukmg zone w~ll not generate considerable addikonal demand
for parlang or create considerable impacts on exutmg transit systems, air uaffic, or traffic
safety to pedestnans, bicycl~sts or motonsts as the preferential parkmg zone is only
limiang nompermitted on-street parkmg m a one block area. The parku~g zone will not
result m s~gmficant alteraUOns to present patterns of cuculanon through any changes to
roadways as no roadways aze to be changed as part of the project.
An msigmficant mcrease m vehicle movement would occur temporanly as dnvers without
parkmg permits search for on-street parking dunng an mmai ad~ustment after the posang
of the parking restnctions The proposed parking zone will generate some amount of
addiUOnal vehicular movement as non-residents withou[ permits will be hmited to one hour
pazlang withm the proposed preferential parlnng zone The non-residents who pazk withm
the zone will be hmited to one hour pazking, requinng the vehicle be moved to another
locauon after that ume or use of alternanve modes of transportadon to the area if the
expected stay withm the area is longer than one hour. It is anncipated that the additional
amount of veh~cle movement created by the pazkmg restnetions will dimmish over tlme
as those persons who generally requ~re a parkmg duraGon of greater than I hour will
eventualiy find that the movmg of the vehicle every hour is an tmpositron.
The first alternahve scenano for preferential parkmg which would hmit all on-street
parlang withm the zone to resident permrt holders ("No Parlang 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Fnday, except by Permit") will not result m significant add~honal veh~cle
movement m the area and, after an ~mtial ad~ustment penod, may actually reduce the
number of vehicle movements as non-residents without permits will not be able to park on

on-street parlung withm the zone to two hours to non-res~dents ("Two Hour Pazlang 9 00

proposed preferen[ial parking zone
18. Utilities (a, b, c, d, e, ~

No The proposed preferennal parkmg zone and the two altemahve scenanos will
not degrade the quality of the environment or affect natrve plants or ammals as the

No. The proposed preferenhal parkin~ zone and the two altemauve scenanos will
affect a one block residenhal area of the city and will not have any impacts to long-
term environmental goals.
e. Does the pro~ect have impacrr ~rhich arc tndivtdually kmued, but cumuluttvely

No The two alternahve scenar~os to the proposed zone ("No Pukmg 9:00 a.m

9 00 a.m. to 6:00 p m, Monday through Fnday except by permrt") would have
slightly different restrichons than the restnctions of existing preferenrial parlang
zone "BB" whuh hmits parkmg to 1 hour dunng the same times and days;
however, rt is not ant~c~pated that these alternatrve scenanos would have a
considerable cumulatrve effect smce thc pazking restnct~ons are not sigmficanfly
