ITEM TITLE: REQUEST TO ESTABLISH RESIDENTIAL PARKING DISTRICT
"K" ON BOTH SIDES OF E. 26Te STREET BETWEEN "B"
AVENUE AND "D" AVENUE, AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF "B"
AVENUE NORTH OF E. 26TH STREET (BY M. ERICKSON/P
FERNANDEZi
PREPARED BY: Kenneth Fernandez, P.E., Acting Assistant Civil Engineer,
Engineering and Public Works Department, Engineering Division
DISCUSSION:
Ms. Maria Erickson and Ms. Alma Fernandez, residents of 2535 and 2525 "B" Avenue,
respectively, have requested the establishment of a residential parking district in their
surrounding neighborhood on both sides of E. 26th Street between "B" Avenue and "Dr
Avenue, and on the east side of "B" Avenue north of E. 261h Street to address on-streel
public parking_ According to both Ms. Erickson and Ms. Fernandez, the number of
vehicles regularly parked on the street often times nearly occupies a majority of available
public parking regardless of the time or day of the week. There is a similar parking
condition immediately to the west at "A" Avenue where Parking District "i" is in operation.
Currently, there are nine active residential parking districts: "A", "Cr, "D", "E", °FA, "G'1,
"H" T, and 'X This report addresses a proposed tenth Residential Parking District "kr.
Two citizen -initiated petitions were created and distributed around the neighborhood.
Both petitions clearly stated the action being requested and spec; ir_. location of said
action. It was then submitted to Engineering staff for review. The neighborhood is
composed of commercial, single-family, multiple -family, apartment complex, and
condominium residences. This proposed parking district excludes the frontage of the
commercial, apartment complex, and condominium residences. Engineering staff
analyzed the petitions in accordance with the Residential Permit Parking Program -
Poiicy Number 710.
First, at !east SO% percent of homeowners within the proposed boundaries of the
�cair{ r! a parkin permit d!st t are required to sign the petition in order to rnove
farwarci with the rvv u. Thi-S condition was met.
Second, Engineering requested that the City's Neighborhood Services Division, Parking
Enforcement Section provide data throughout a four -week window and record the
license plates of vehicles parked in the proposed district. Data was collected in the early
morning and again in the late afternoon/early evening except on Sundays. This task
was completed.
Next, Engineering analyzed the data and compared it with DMV vehicle registration
information (a.k.a. 10-28 Forts) provided by the City`s Police Department. Staff then
differentiated parked vehicles registered to residents within the proposed parking
districts to those parked vehicles not registered within or associated to a commercial,
apartment complex, and condominium residences adjacent to the proposed parking
district. As such. it was determined that approximately 8Q % of the vehicles parked did
not belong to the proposed residential parking district.
if a residential parking district is established, those residents within the district are able
to purchase an annual parking placard for $35 year=ro:ind. Each permit ie effertiva
1 ebrueiy i' clnc ex3irez oil Jai usry 31$' of the Foi;uLVif`ig. yeak'. Z.ivaIified residents are
allowed to purchase up to two placard (or up to four placards if the residence is located
on a comer lot). Currently, there is no proration of the district parking permit fee if
purchased after February 15'`. Those residents with a valid parking or disabled placard
shall be allowed to park in the sarne location within the district for up to 72 continuous
hours. Vehicles without a properly displayed permit or with a permit but at a different
parking district than that assigned to them may be cited and/or towed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Given the data collected, analyzed, and evaluated per Policy Number 710, Staff
recommends the following enhancements in establishing Residential Parking District "K"
on both sides of E. 26th Street between "B" Avenue and "Du Avenue, and on the east
side of 'B" Avenue north of E. 26"' Street tor the purpose of addressing on -street public
parking:
1. Order and Install "No Parking except vehicles displaying District "K" or disabled
parking placard" signage with "Start" and "End" indicators on poles with time-,
day, and parking district -restricted verbiage on the public right-of-way.
