RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A RESIDENTIAL PERMIT
PARKING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, in response to the serious adverse effects caused certain areas
and neighborhoods of the City of National City by motor vehicle congestion,
particularly the parking of motor vehieles on the streets of such areas and
neighborhoods by non-residents thereof; and
WHEREAS, such long term parking by non-residents threatens the health,
safety and welfare of all the residents of the City of National City; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to enact parking regulations restricting unlimited
parking by non-residents therein, while providing the opportunity for residents to
park near their home; and
WHEREAS, uniform parking regulations restricting residents and non-
residents alike would not serve the public interest. Rather such regulation
would contribute to neighborhood decline while ignoring the public transit
alternatives to automobile travel available to non-residents;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the
continued vitality of the City of National City depends on the preservation of
safe, healthy and attractive neighborhoods and other residential areas therein;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the flight of residents and property
owners from cities can be traced in part to the deterioration of such cities as
attractive and comfortable places in which to reside; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that one factor that has contributed to this
deterioration is the excessive burdensome practice of non-residents of certain
areas and neighborhoods parking their motor vehicles for extended periods of
time therein. Since there is in certain areas of the city at any one time a
large surplus of motor vehicles over available on and off-street parking spaces,
this condition detracts from a healthy and complete environment; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a system of preferential resident
parking will serve to reduce a number of strains on residents of the city and
thus promote the general public welfare. For the reasons set forth herein, a
program of preferential parking is enacted hereby for the City of National City.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 19th day of June, 1984.
