SR 09-26-2023 14A City Council Report City Council Meeting: September 26, 2023 Agenda Item: 14.A 1 of 10 To: Mayor and City Council From: Anuj Gupta, Interim Director of Transportation, Mobility (DOT) Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Amending Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY Recommended Action Staff recommends that City Council: 1. Adopt a finding of no possibility of significant effect pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. 2. Amend Preferential Parking Zone QQ for the following block: Harvard Street between Washington Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard by changing the regulations from 2-hour parking 9AM-6PM Monday-Friday, except by permit to 2-hour parking 9AM-10PM daily, except by permit. 3. Amend Preferential Parking Zone YY for the following three blocks: Princeton, Harvard, and Yale streets between Arizona Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard by changing the regulations from 2-hour parking 9AM-10PM daily, except by permit to 2-hour parking 9AM-6PM, No parking 6PM-9AM daily, except by permit. 4. Approve the Resolution amending Preferential Parking Regulations (Attachment A). Executive Summary In response to citywide restructuring, at the July 28, 2020, City Council meeting, Council adopted a moratorium on the designation of new or amended preferential parking zones for a period of four years, from September 24, 2020, through September 24, 2024. Staff was directed to continue to implement pre-approved zones as residents submit petitions and issue and renew permits in existing zones. Petitions to amend existing regulations from blocks in the vicinity of Harvard Street and Wilshire Boulevard, including but not limited to: Harvard Street between Washington and Arizona avenues and Princeton 14.A Packet Pg. 1879 2 of 10 Street between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue were excluded from the moratorium as those petitions were already in process. Residents of the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard Street and the 1200 blocks of Harvard and Princeton Streets have submitted qualifying petitions to amend the existing preferential parking regulations. A petition was also submitted by the 1200 block of Yale Street in September 2019, but the petition has not yet qualified as it represented less than 67% of the households on that block. Residents contend that non-resident parking regularly interferes with their ability to find parking near their homes. Parking data indicates that these streets regularly experience an average parking occupancy of 77% and an 89% peak parking occupancy on both an average Wednesday and average Saturday. To ensure a balance between the parking demands of all users and a broader consistency with the preferential parking regulations already in place on neighboring streets, staff recommends approving amended preferential parking regulations for the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard Street located in Preferential Parking Zone QQ and the 1200 blocks of Harvard and Princeton streets located in Preferential Parking Zone YY. Additionally, staff recommends pre-approving amended regulations for the 1200 block of Yale Street in Zone YY, to enable residents to petition for the same regulations in the future. Background Preferential parking is a tool the City uses to manage non-resident parking on residential streets, as authorized by Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) 3.08 Preferential Parking Zones and the California Vehicle Code. Only residents who live on a block with preferential parking regulations are eligible to purchase a permit for each vehicle registered to the address. Up to two additional visitor permits may be purchased. Permits may be used within the assigned district, up to two blocks away from the permit holder’s address. Residents in an existing preferential parking zone may request to amend regulations via a petition representing at least two-thirds of the residential units and at least half the 14.A Packet Pg. 1880 3 of 10 residential frontage on the block. Upon receipt of a petition representing two-thirds of the residential units on a block, a parking occupancy study of the neighborhood is conducted, and a community meeting is held. In evaluating the petitions, staff typically evaluates the larger neighborhood, rather than an individual block due to the potential for parking displacement when regulations are established or changed. As a result, staff typically recommends that the Council pre-approve preferential parking regulations for more than one block to streamline and expedite the process for adjacent blocks should some displacement occur. Once Council approves preferential parking regulations, they are implemented on the block or blocks that have submitted qualifying petitions. Preferential parking regulations are not implemented on blocks that have been pre-approved by the Council until the time that the residents of those blocks submit qualifying petitions representing two-thirds of the residential units on the block. If Council amends preferential parking regulations, they are implemented within approximately 12 weeks. The preferential parking work effort was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and citywide restructuring, as discussed at the July 28, 2020, City Council meeting. Past Council Actions Meeting Date Description 7/28/2020 (Attachment B) Council adopted a modification to SMMC Chapter 3.08— Preferential Parking Zones: suspend designation of new or amended preferential parking zones for a period of 4 years; continue to implement pre-approved zones and issue and renew permits in existing zones 14.A Packet Pg. 1881 4 of 10 Discussion To balance the competing needs for curb space and private vehicle parking along the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard Street and 1200 blocks of Princeton, Harvard, and Yale streets, staff recommends the following amendments to preferential parking zones QQ and YY: 1. On Harvard Street between Washington Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard (Zone QQ), change the regulations from 2-hour parking 9AM-6PM Monday-Friday, except by permit to 2-hour parking 9AM-10PM daily, except by permit. This aligns with the neighborhood preferential parking regulations implemented on the following adjacent streets: 1100 blocks of Princeton, 26th, and 25th Streets, and Chelsea Ave. 2. On Princeton, Harvard, and Yale Streets between Arizona Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard (Zone YY), change the regulations from 2-hour parking 9AM-10PM daily, except by permit to 2-hour parking 9AM-6PM, No parking 6PM-9AM daily, except by permit. This aligns with the neighborhood preferential parking regulations implemented on the following adjacent streets:1200-1300 blocks of Stanford, Berkeley, and Franklin Streets. In 2018-2019, petitions with signatures representing at least 67% of households on the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard Street and the 1200 blocks of Harvard and Princeton Streets were submitted to the City to amend the existing preferential parking regulations. Additionally, a petition was submitted from the 1200 block of Yale Street, though that petition did not qualify as it represented less than 67% of the households. In September 2019, staff conducted community outreach and held a community meeting with area residents, businesses, and property owners to discuss parking concerns and identify solutions. Those in attendance expressed the need for remedies to address the difficulties they encounter finding parking near their destination. Residents stated that employees and patrons of Wilshire Boulevard businesses park on residential streets which negatively impacts their ability to find available parking. Additional comments from the public meeting included an increase in negative parking 14.A Packet Pg. 1882 5 of 10 behaviors such as people parking vehicles that block driveways and double parking, and increased congestion with the influx of delivery and customer vehicles. At the community meeting, many of the comments were related to concerns with the operation of the then-new business at 2800 Wilshire Boulevard, Erewhon Market. Staff spent the months following the community meeting working with representatives of Erewhon to mitigate impacts and organize traffic flow by implementing the following interventions: 1. Right-turn only out of Erewhon’s driveway onto Harvard Street 2. Right-turn only from Harvard Street onto Wilshire Boulevard 3. On-street loading space on Wilshire Boulevard to reduce the impacts to Harvard Street Additionally, staff worked with Erewhon to have obstructions removed from their parking lot that blocked parking spaces and the on-site loading space. Erewhon Market offers valet parking in their parking lot and complies with SMMC 9.53, the City’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance. In November 2022, staff commissioned a parking study, to collect parking utilization data during a 14-hour period on two days when both Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District schools and Santa Monica College were in session: Wednesday November 16, and Saturday, November 19. A parking occupancy of 85% per block is considered ideal as it means that the spaces are being well-utilized while still maintaining some availability on each block which prevents the need to circulate searching for parking. Based on the parking data, peak occupancy (utilization of 85% or more) on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, occurred during the lunch hour on the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard; early morning, mid-day, and early evening on the 1200 block of Harvard; late morning on the 1200 block of Princeton and early afternoon on 1200 Yale. The 2700 block of Arizona had peak occupancy during mid-morning and late evening hours and the 2700 block of Wilshire had peak occupancy during mid-morning. Peak Occupancy of 85% or more – Wednesday, November 16, 2022 14.A Packet Pg. 1883 6 of 10 The peak occupancy during Saturday, November 19, 2022, was more evenly distributed, with the peak time of 85% or greater utilization occurring during the 9AM hour along the 1000-1100 block of Harvard Street and mid-day lunch period along the 1200 blocks of Harvard and Princeton Streets. The peak occupancy on the 1200 block of Yale was during the late afternoon and early evening, whereas the 2700 block of Arizona saw peak occupancy during the early morning hours and the 2700 block of Wilshire saw peak occupancy during the lunch hour and late evening hours. Peak Occupancy of 85% or more – Saturday, November 19, 2022 In Spring 2023, staff mailed a survey to all 315 residential addresses on the subject blocks to gauge the level of difficulty in finding parking and identify potential preferential parking solutions. The following areas were surveyed: • Harvard Street between Washington Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard (Zone QQ) • Princeton, Harvard, and Yale Streets between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue (Zone YY) The survey results focused on the easiest and most difficult times to find parking, number of private vehicles, access to private driveways and garages and resident suggestions for preferential parking solutions. For parking solutions, respondents were permitted to select multiple options. Based on the responses, every block surveyed selected the most restrictive regulation, No Parking 9AM-10PM Daily, except by permit. 14.A Packet Pg. 1884 7 of 10 In light of these results and considering the broader neighborhood context and balancing the needs of various users of parking in the area (see Attachment B) without creating additional parking challenges on neighboring streets, staff recommends changing the regulations on the 1000-1100 blocks of Harvard to 2-hour parking 9AM- 10PM daily, except by permit. The majority of the households on Harvard Street between Washington Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard are single family homes with garages. This recommendation aligns with the neighborhood preferential parking regulations implemented on the adjacent streets including: 1100 blocks of Princeton, 26th and 25th Streets, and Chelsea Ave. Households on the 1200 blocks of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale Streets are primarily multi-family homes with more limited access to off-street parking and therefore have an increased reliance on street parking. Staff recommends amending the preferential parking regulations to 2-hour parking 9AM-6PM, No parking 6PM-9AM daily, except by permit. This aligns with the neighborhood preferential parking regulations implemented on the adjacent streets including:1200-1300 blocks of Stanford, Berkeley, and Franklin Streets. 14.A Packet Pg. 1885 8 of 10 Current parking regulations: Alternatives City Council could maintain the existing regulations or adopt different hours and types of regulations than the staff recommendation. Next Steps If Council approves the recommended action, regulations would be implemented on Harvard Street between Washington Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard and Harvard and Princeton Streets between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue within 12 weeks. This time period allows for signs to be ordered, manufactured, and installed, as well as a grace period between the installation of signs and enforcement of the amended preferential parking regulations. Regulations on Yale Street between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue would be pre-approved until such time that the residents submit a qualifying petition to change the existing regulations. Environmental Review The preferential parking modifications are categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) “where it can be seen with certainty that there is 14.A Packet Pg. 1886 9 of 10 no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” The proposed changes to the preferential parking of Zones QQ and YY consists of programmatic changes and would not result in a physical environmental effect on the environment.   In addition, Section 15302 exempts Class 1 projects from CEQA, which include the “operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures [or] facilities, including streets, sidewalks, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities.” The project consists of transitioning from a one set of preferential parking regulations to another. The transition is a programmatic change and would not necessitate the construction of new vehicle travel lanes for operation. Therefore, the preferential parking changes in Zones QQ and YY qualify as a Class 1 exemption. Financial Impacts & Budget Actions The amendment of Zones QQ and YY would not generate any additional revenue as residents on the blocks are already eligible to purchase preferential parking permits. The costs to purchase and install new signage for the amended zones is nominal and would be covered within the Department of Transportation’s FY 2023-24 budget.

Summary Changes to the Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) and transportation procedures are necessary to align with restructuring of City services adopted by the Council to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term economic impacts. Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance to implement the most time-sensitive changes in the areas of Employer Trip Reduction, Preferential Parking, Pedicabs and Bikeshare programs, as follows: • SMMC Chapter 9.53—Transportation Demand Management: suspend requirements, including the Emissions Reduction and Worksite Transportation plans, for employers of 49 people or fewer; suspend City rideshare program; and reduce Transportation Management Organization services; • SMMC Chapter 6.50—Pedicabs: eliminate the requirement for a local pedicab driver permit and operator permit; retain existing requirements for a business license, insurance, inspection decal, and pedicab driver and carriage requirements, and update SMMC to remain in compliance with State law; 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1908 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 2 of 9 • SMMC Chapter 3.08—Preferential Parking Zones: suspend designation of new or amended preferential parking zones for a period of 4 years; continue to implement pre-approved zones and issue and renew permits in existing zones; • SMMC Chapter 3.20—Bikeshare: enable a commercial operator to run the City’s public bike share system in the public-right-of-way. Staff also seeks direction on pursuing changes to SMMC Chapter 6.49—Taxicabs to transition the current franchise-based system to a permit-based system and pursue regional permitting options. Background On May 5, 2020, Council considered citywide restructuring necessitated by the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. This included reconsideration of staffing, program funding, and contractual obligations in order to address the projected budget shortfall. On June 9, 2020, Council considered a draft budget proposal that identified budget impacts on staff activities and services. On June 23, 2020, Council approved a citywide budget that established FY20/21 departmental budgets and finalized staffing and resource changes. The Santa Monica Municipal Code (SMMC) includes several transportation-related provisions that require changes to align with the adopted restructuring. Discussion On June 9, 2020, Council received details of how City services and programs are being restructured to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term economic impact. Citywide changes included operational, maintenance and permitting functions that eliminated internal functional capacity for street striping and signs, engineering, rideshare, neighborhood traffic calming and grant reporting due to the loss of 16 staff dedicated to these efforts. Some changes identified in the transportation services and programs require updates to relevant SMMC sections as identified in this report. Redline changes to the code sections are provided in Attachment A, the proposed ordinance. 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1909 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 3 of 9 1. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Changes to SMMC Chapter 9.53—Transportation Demand Management, internal rideshare program, and Transportation Management Organization services. Santa Monica established its Transportation Demand Management Ordinance (TDM) in 1993, with the goals of proactively reducing congestion, reducing automobile dependence, improving air quality and enhancing transportation choices. It is modeled closely after Rule 2202 administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The TDM Ordinance requires employers of a certain size to submit either a Worksite Transportation Plan or an Emission Reduction Plan. Contents of a Worksite Transportation Plan include estimations of transportation mode choices for staff, on-site information requirements, and a signed letter from management demonstrating commitment to reducing drive alone trips to and from the worksite. The Emission Reduction Plan, more robust in nature, requires an employer to survey employees about how they arrived and departed work over a 5-day period, calculate Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR), and reach a designated target AVR based on worksite location. Employers completing an Emission Reduction Plan who do not reach their AVR target either create a plan describing how over the course of the next year they will reduce the number of drive alone trips to the worksite or purchase mobile source emission reduction credits from a verified vendor. In past years, staff supported businesses through this program with annual commuter resources and non-auto commuting guidance, facilitating collaboration among businesses for carpool, vanpool and parking, and more recently some problem-solving for commuter and customer access needs following COVID-19. City restructuring has impacted the ability to continue regulating this many employers and providing these additional support resources. In 2016, Santa Monica amended the TDM Ordinance by increasing AVR targets citywide and increasing the applicability of the greater requirements of the Emission Reduction Plan to business of 30 employees or more (instead of 50+). Staff is proposing to update SMMC Chapter 9.53 to return to pre-2016 thresholds that apply the ERP requirements only to employers with 50 or more employees. Additionally, staff is proposing to suspend Worksite Transportation Requirements entirely. The proposed updates would suspend these requirements until 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1910 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 4 of 9 September 2024 or until restoration of program resources. The changes do not affect procedures for employers with 50 or more employees or developers. As an employer, the City is subject to employee trip reduction requirements from AQMD, and as a facilities builder (such as City Hall East) is subject to local TDM requirements for developers. Restructuring reduces the capacity of our internal programs and includes the suspension of the City’s internal employee trip reduction program (in compliance with any requirements imposed by labor group MOUs) including incentives for transit, vanpool, carpool, etc. until resources are available. Additionally, restructuring resulted in a reduction of the Transportation Management Organization (TMO) contract from $250,000 to $195,000 for FY20/21, with half of the remaining contract funded by development agreement contributions. The TMO supports medium and large employers through the provision of transportation solutions, encouraging green commuting and teleworking, and improving worksite access. 2. Pedicabs Changes to SMMC Chapter 6.50—Pedicabs, which eliminate the requirement for a local pedicab driver permit and operator permit. The changes retain requirements for a business license, insurance, inspection decal, and pedicab driver and carriage requirements in compliance with State law. Santa Monica adopted pedicab regulations in 2013 which were informed by a year-long pilot program in 1998. Current SMMC regulations require a pedicab driver permit, operator permit, pedicab inspection decal, business license, and outline operating requirements such as minimum driver age, driver’s license, pedicab cleanliness and safe operations. Detailed Administrative Regulations were issued in 2013 to accompany Section 6.50. Local rules also require each driver to successfully complete a pedicab driver class. In 2015, the State established California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21215 regulating the safe operation of pedicabs and establishing insurance, annual incident reporting, routing and loading/unloading requirements. 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1911 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 5 of 9 City restructuring has impacted the ability to continue the local permitting of drivers and operators. CVC 21215 has filled the prior gap in safety provisions and operating expectations, but still requires local agencies to inspect pedicabs annually. Staff is proposing to update the SMMC to retain language regarding pedicab vehicle equipment standards and driver qualifications, update to align with State regulations, and to continue requiring annual inspections for a fee. The proposed update would eliminate the requirement for local permitting and classes until there is a restoration of resources for this program. The Business License Unit would continue business license processing and insurance verification, pedicab rules would be enforced by Code Enforcement staff, and “rules of the road” would be enforced by the Police Department as they do today. 3. Taxicabs Direction to pursue changes to SMMC Chapter 6.49—Taxicabs to transition the current Franchise program to a permit program and seek regional permitting options. Santa Monica has the authority to regulate for-hire vehicles within the city. In June 2009, Council adopted an ordinance establishing a franchise-based system for the regulation of taxicabs. The franchise was initially established to address an oversupply of taxis in the market and operating standards. In November 2010, Council approved franchise agreements with five companies, which operated with extensions for approximately eight years. In 2018, Council approved simplified taxicab permitting in compliance with California State law (AB1069) and approved a franchise with one company that is substantially located in Santa Monica: TMAT Corp., dba. Taxi! Taxi!. AB1069 was passed in response to the market challenges created by Transportation Network Companies (TNCs, such as Uber and Lyft), and reduced local regulation to those taxicab companies which are “substantially located” in the jurisdiction. AB1069 also enables a regional or other agency to perform the permitting function on behalf of local agencies. Staff has been in regular communication with cities throughout the region to explore regional permitting function and best practices for local regulation. 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1912 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 6 of 9 Some cities are transitioning their franchise systems to permit systems including the City of Los Angeles. Franchise systems are time consuming to create, and once created are closed to new providers and are difficult to update. The permit system would allow for more flexibility and openness to new customer services, while still enabling requirements for accessibility, fare maximums and other core benefits of the franchise system. A permit system does eliminate a franchise holder’s right to a market area, but this exclusivity was already undone by recent state law that allowed any company to serve a “pre-arranged” trip in the city. Once Los Angeles’ permitting system is operational, they may be able to facilitate permitting on our behalf through a Memorandum of Understanding or other agreement. In light of Santa Monica’s restructuring that resulted in the elimination of staff resources for this program, and the changing market dynamics of taxicab services which has eliminated the concern regarding oversupply, staff recommends that Santa Monica move toward a regional permitting solution, and initiate those steps in coordination with the local franchise company. The current franchise agreement with Taxi! Taxi! has a termination date of December 31, 2023 or earlier at the discretion of the City. A regional permit system does not yet exist, and as one becomes available staff would pursue it in coordination with Taxi! Taxi! This does not preclude the City from establishing a local permitting solution for taxicabs and similar transportation providers with a future restoration. 4. Residential Preferential Parking Program Changes to SMMC Chapter 3.08—Preferential Parking Zones to suspend designation of new or amended preferential parking zones for a period of four years, or until restoration of staff resources. These changes do not affect the ability to obtain and renew permits in existing zones or the implementation of pre-approved zones. Currently, the City’s residential streets are largely blanketed by residential preferential parking zones that are already implemented or pre-approved. City staff answer hundreds of calls and emails each year regarding changes to preferential parking, collect parking occupancy data, assist with resident notifications, host community 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1913 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 7 of 9 meetings, and prepare analyses to support amendments to the preferential parking program. Restructuring has eliminated staff resources to process changes to the preferential parking program, requiring the suspension of new or amended residential preferential parking zones for an estimated period of four years (until September 2024) or until restoration of the program. Zones that have been pre-approved by Council and in which residents are able to independently collect the required signatures will continue to be implemented during this period. Suspend interdepartmental coordination toward implementation of the unbundled parking Section 9.28.110.A.1 which will result in the continued ability of residents of new mixed-use projects in commercial zones to have access to preferential parking district permits. This change would be incorporated into SMMC 3.08.080: 3.08.080 – Suspension on the designation of new or amendment of existing zones. No new zones will be designated, nor any existing zones amended, during the period of September 24, 2020 through September 24, 2024. Zones that have been pre- approved will continue to be implemented during this period, and qualified petitions received by September 24, 2020 will be processed. Applications received before the effective date of the ordinance amendment would also continue to be processed including: • Petitions to reduce existing restrictions on Hill Street between 21st and 23rd streets and 25th Street between Idaho and Washington avenues • Petitions to amend existing regulations from blocks in the vicinity of Harvard Street and Wilshire Boulevard, including but not limited to: Harvard Street between Washington and Arizona avenues and Princeton Street between Wilshire Boulevard and Arizona Avenue • Application for California Coastal Commission approval of the expansion of Zone F, which Council approved on February 25, 2020 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1914 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 8 of 9 5. Bikeshare Changes to SMMC Chapter 3.20 which enables public bike share other than the City’s designated operator. SMMC Chapter 3.20 was adopted just prior to the introduction of the City’s Breeze bike share system in 2015. This section created enabling language for a public bike share system operated by the City to function in the public right-of-way. As part of direction to continue piloting shared mobility services, Council directed staff to investigate options for public bike share that could deliver the affordability, reliability, equity and outreach elements of the Breeze program but be operated by a private commercial entity. Staff recently released a request for information regarding the potential for a private operator to achieve these public outcomes. This minor update to Chapter 3.20 would enable a private commercial entity to operate a public bike share system in the public right-of- way, that meets the aforementioned criteria, should an operator be identified in the future. Next Steps Upon first reading, the amended ordinance will return to Council for a second reading/adoption and take effect 30 days after adoption. Affected businesses will be notified of the reduced or adjusted regulations as their permits and approvals come up for renewal. If directed to pursue a taxicab permit-based system, staff will work with the City Attorney’s office and regional agencies to define process, procedures, and timeline. 14.A.b Packet Pg. 1915 Attachment: July 28, 2020 Staff Report (5823 : Amendment of Preferential Parking Zones QQ and YY) 9 of 9 Financial Impacts & Budget Actions There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended actions.

Attached is a photo I just took in front of my home at 1039 Harvard Street at 7:40 p.m. on Thursday, September 21. Does it look like we need to extend 2‐hour parking regulations until 10 pm? This is what our block looks like on nights and weekends. The few cars you see belong to residents. There is no need to extend 2‐hour parking into the evenings and on weekends; it will only make it harder for guests to visit easily. Before voting, please come to Harvard Street north of Wilshire on nights and weekends to see for yourself that this change is unnecessary. It may be that people who live close to Wilshire have a greater concern, but that’s what comes from living close to a major thoroughfare. Enacting changes unneeded by most residents, especially in the haphazard way the city implements them with a different parking rule on every block, is an unnecessary mess that does nothing more than push problems to other blocks. My friends in Sunset Park who live near the college say no one enforces nighttime parking regulations anyway. What’s the point? Until you have a comprehensive plan for the whole neighborhood, please leave Harvard Street parking north of Wilshire as is. Don’t kowtow to exclusionary residents who want to essentially privatize our street.

EXTERNAL Dear Community Leaders: I was parked on the west side of Harvard in the YY zone yesterday. It was the correct side of the street for street cleaning. At 12:45 when the the sweeper arrived there were 15 cars on the east side of the street. Probably from Ewon's patrons. The street was not clean due to the cars blocking the truck.. The driver was delayed by the parking enforcement who was writing tickets for the 15 cars. The sweeper sat and blocked the street with the motor running. I support the change to the preferential zone but better signage is needed for cleaning days.
