City Council Report
City of
Santa Monica
City Council Meeting: October 8, 2013
F.��N
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Gigi Decavalles- Hughes, Director of Finance
Subject: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Modifying Section
3.16.120 of Santa Monica Municipal Code Related to Exemption of
Payment at Parking Meters for Clean Air Vehicles
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading an ordinance
eliminating the phrase "valid and current" from Santa Monica Municipal Code Section
3.16.120 related to exemptions from payment at parking meters.
Executive Summary
Over the past several years, the City has adopted various policies to better manage its
parking resources. Additionally, the City has continued to adopt policies that seek to
minimize pollution and encourage the use of environmentally sustainable transportation.
For clean air vehicles, these policies sometimes contradict one another. The adopted
Land Use and Circulation Element includes numerous policies to eliminate parking
subsidies and to use pricing to manage parking. The Sustainable City Plan includes
policies to encourage the use of clean air vehicles and reduce the City's dependence on
non - renewable energy sources. Since 2002, the City has used various versions of an
exemption from payment at parking meters to encourage this environmental goal. The
current version of the ordinance provides an exemption from payment at parking meters
for vehicles that display current and valid decals. As the decals expire, so does the
exemption from payment at parking meters, eliminating one incentive for the use of
clean -air vehicles. To balance the City's parking and environmental goals, this report
proposes to eliminate the phrase "valid and current" from Santa Monica Municipal Code
Section 3.16.120, thereby permanently providing the exemption from payment at
parking meters for early adopters of clean air technology. This recommendation
provides the incentive for early adopters of clean air technology provided for in the
City's Sustainable City Plan, while limiting the total exemption to only those that qualify
for State - issued decals, reducing the impact on parking and reducing the impact to the
City's General Fund from lost meter revenue.
1
At its meeting on August 27, Council directed staff to prepare an amendment to
Municipal Code section 3.16.120, clarifying local parking policies to encourage electric
and other low- or zero - emission vehicle adoption by removing unintended
consequences caused by having linked those policies to changing state rules, and
return to the Council at a future meeting for discussion and possible adoption.
On July 10 2012, Council introduced an ordinance and adopted comprehensive parking
policy and rate changes that have helped the City better manage its parking, most
visibly through the relocation of over 900 long -term Downtown parkers out of the core
structures to the previously underutilized Civic Center. These changes further
implemented specific parking policies adopted in the Land Use and Circulation Element
(LUCE).
® 21.2: Consider eliminating direct and hidden subsidies of motor vehicle parking
and driving, making the true costs of parking and driving visible to motorists.
® 21.5: Strive to implement measures to minimize the time motorists spend
searching for parking through way - finding and pricing parking to create
availability.
® 21.6: Consider parking pricing and commuter parking limits as tools for managing
congestion.
® 26.6: Use parking pricing as a tool to manage congestion.
Over the past decade, Council has also adopted numerous policies to further its
environmental sustainability goals, including policies related to natural resources and
transportation that include:
® Reducing total greenhouse gas emissions by at least 15% below 1990 levels by
2015 citywide.
® Increase percent of total vehicles that are qualified low emission / alternative fuel
vehicles.
• Reduce number of signalized intersections with unacceptable motor vehicle
congestion (LOS D, E or F) during peak hours.
• Reduce the number of locally classified streets that exceed City thresholds for
traffic levels.
e Increasing energy use from renewable and more efficient sources.
2
• Increasing average vehicle ridership (AVR) for commuters.
• Increase ridership on the Big Blue Bus.
• Increase bicycle ridership through the various policies included in the Bicycle
Action Plan.
As a means to encourage the use of clean air vehicles, Council has adopted policies
that provide for an exemption of payment at parking meters for vehicles that display
clean -air decals. These decals are typically available only to early adopters of the
technology through a State program that often provides other incentives, such as single
occupant use of high occupancy (HOV) lanes. The original yellow decals were issued
for gas - electric hybrid vehicles and were valid through June 30, 2011. White decals are
available for an unlimited number of Federal Inherently Low Emission Vehicles (ILEV)
and are valid until January 1, 2015. Green decals are available to the first 40,000
applicants that purchase California Enhanced Advanced Technology Partial Zero
Emission Vehicle (PZEV). Attachment A includes a list of qualifying vehicles.
Additionally, some early owners of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV), 100%
electric, low speed vehicles, also have decals.
On February 26, 2002, Council adopted an amended ordinance exempting electric
vehicles displaying Clean Air Vehicle Decals from depositing money in City parking
meters. On November 12, 2002, in order to expand the exemption for payment at
parking meters to compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG),
Council amended the ordinance to extend the exemption to all clean -air decals.
On July 27 2010, Council adopted modification to SMMC Section 3.16.120 that clarified
holidays and also that sought to streamline the language providing exemption for
payment at parking meters for various special recognition plates. As part of the
streamlining of the language, the words "valid and current' were added to clarify that
only those license plates and decals that are then current are exempted from payment
at parking meters. This language was recommended at that time, in part, to ensure that
the City had the ability to continuously honor new clean -air decals and special
E
recognition plates that may be created in the future to ensure the City's ability to
continue to provide incentives to early adopters of the latest clean -air vehicles.
Discussion
Santa Monica has specific adopted policies to use parking pricing as a means to
manage traffic and congestion and to encourage the use of low to zero emission
vehicles. Over the past decade, Council has adopted various versions of a policy that
provides an exemption from payment at on- street parking meters as a means to
encourage the use of clean air vehicles. By utilizing the State's decal program,
described in the "Background" section, which has limitations and well defined
requirements, the City's exemption has been restricted to adopters of the latest,
cleanest vehicles. In addition to limiting the incentive to early adopters of clean -air
vehicles, the utilization of the State's decal program limits the potential revenue loss for
the City by providing free parking at on- street meters to only those vehicles that display
State - issued decals.
The proposed modification of Santa Monica Municipal Code Section 3.16.120, would
eliminate the phrase "valid and current" from the Code that exempts clean air decals
from payment at parking meters, thereby extending indefinitely the exemption from
payment at parking meters for early adopters of various clean air technology. The
proposed ordinance would immediately affect vehicles with the expired yellow and
neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) clean air decals, as those decals expired on July 1,
2011. These vehicles, along with vehicles that display the valid and current white and
green decals, would receive free parking at on- street parking meters. This proposed
change would continue the incentive for early adopters of clean air technology and
further the goals of the Sustainable City Plan by providing free parking at on street
meters for vehicles displaying clean air decals.
12
Alternatives
Council could also consider alternatives to staff's recommendations, specifically:
1) Maintain the current policy of only honoring "valid and current decals." This
alternative would further Council's environmental goals by providing exemption
from payment at parking meters for the latest clean -air vehicles and would
continue the expiration of the privilege as technology changes and new decals
are authorized by the State. However, early adopters of clean vehicle technology
would continue to lose the additional City - provided incentive as the various decal
programs expire.
2) Modify the ordinance to provide the exemption from payment at parking meters
to only the expired Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) decals, while continuing
to sunset the privilege for other clean -air decals, such as the yellow, white, and
green decals. This recommendation would favor the LUCE and Parking policies
Council has adopted by providing the payment exemption only to the latest,
cleanest vehicles and NEV vehicles. This alternative impacts early adopters of
clean vehicle technology, except for NEVs, as the various decal programs expire.
Financial Impact and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action. The revenue gain from the expiration of the yellow decals was
not significant enough to be measureable when the program expired.
