Gilbert, Director of Public Works DATE: May 3, 1996 (Council Meeting 5- 15 -96) iTE �O i!�- SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing the City Manager to Revise the Procedures Relating to the Issueance of Parking Permits Exempting Certain Vehicles from Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions to Allow for the Parking of Certain Vehicles Along the Frontage of HOA Community Recreational Facilities A. Background 1. In November of 1993 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93 -985 establishing parking restrictions throughout the City to facilitate street sweeping. 2. In February of 1995 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 95 -1121 providing for the issuance of PARKING PERMITS exempting certain vehicles from those parking restrictions under certain conditions. 3. The action taken by the City Council in February 1995 provided for the issuance of PARKING PERMITS to certain vehicles only under certain conditions generally described as follows: a PERMIT could be issued to a moving van retained by a property owner or resident, when and if the moving day is coincidental with the parking restriction. • a PERMIT could be issued to a vehicle registered to a resident for a designated period, when and if medical problems require said vehicle to be readily available and off - street parking is not available; • a PERMIT could be issued to a vehicle registered to a resident for a designated period, when and if medical problems prevent the owner of the vehicle from moving the vehicle; • . pool -prk ""K, CAUTCPIN"A 00022'7 Community Pool Parking May 1996 Page 2 • PERMITS could be issued to vehicles registered to a contractor or subcontractor retained by a resident to perform home remodeling or repairs, when an if there are no off - street parking available for such vehicles; PERMITS could be issued to vehicles registered to a City contractor, subcontractor or supplier working on a City Public Works contract. 4. The above mentioned action taken by the City Council provided that one free PARKING PERMIT could be issued to a resident or property owner per calendar year. Each additional PERMIT issued to said party within a given calendar year would require payment of a $25.00 fee. 5. Resolution No. 95 -1121 directed the City Manager to provide for the establishment of a set of procedures to set forth the general guidelines to be followed when evaluating applications and issuing parking permits. Those procedures are attached as Exhibit 1. B. Parking at Community Recreational Facilities Concerns have been raised that the street sweeping parking restrictions prevent or hinder the use of HOA Community Pools. Requests have been received for the establishment of a waiver to those parking restrictions to eliminate this inconvenience. The concept of refraining from enforcement of street sweeping parking restrictions at Community Pool Areas was discussed. It was determined that such selective enforcement would not be consistently applied and that continued issuance of parking citations would likely occur. It is the view of staff, therefore, that the waiver of parking restriction at Community Pool Areas could only be accomplished by one of two methods which are generally described as follows: a. adopt a resolution deleting the subject areas from the area subject to the parking prohibition and the placement of signs indicating that those areas are EXEMPT from those parking restriction; or b. pursuant to the authority provided by Resolution No. 1121, authorize the City Manager to amendment to the existing guidelines and procedures (Exhibit 1) pertaining to the issuance of parking permits exempting certain vehicles from said parking restrictions. pool -prk Community Pool Parking May 1996 Page 3 Staff recommends the latter approach which is discussed in more detail below. C. HOA Parking Permits Attached as Exhibit 2 is a draft Moorpark Administrative Procedure (NAP) pertaining to the issuance of Parking Permits waiving street sweeping parking restrictions. This draft document contains all of the language set forth in the existing procedures attached as Exhibit 1. Said language has been revised by adding new language pertaining to the issuance of HOA PARKING PERMITS. The added language (shown shaded) establishes procedures which will allow any HOA which owns and manages a Community Pool Recreation Area, to issue HOA PARKING PERMITS to property owners and /or residents within its HOA, exempting those parties from the street sweeping parking restriction when their vehicle is parked in front of a given Pool Area. Each HOA owning such a facility would have the option to participate in this program or decline from participating in the program. Those HOAs which choose to participate would be offering such permits to their clientele at the cost of a reduced level of street sweeping service. Those HOAs which declined would be preserving the present level of street sweeping service by maintaining the parking prohibition. The issuance of an HOA PARKING PERMIT by an HOA would have to be done in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set froth in the above mentioned draft MAP (Exhibit 2). Those guidelines and proceedures are generally summarized as follows: 1. The issuance of HOA PARKING PERMITS shall be administered by the HOA. Each HOA may participate or decline to participate in this program at their discretion. Permits may only be issued by a representative of the HOA or the HOA's management company. 2. All Permits would be numbered and would be valid for a specific Pool or Recreation Area. 3. Parking shall be restricted to the frontage of the Pool / Recreation Area, except that NO PARKING SHALL BE PERMITED ON A COLLECTOR STREET (i.e. Walnut Creek Road). 4. Parking shall be available on a first come - first serve basis. pool -prk 00022,9 Community Pool Parking May 1996 Page 4 5. Permits may only be issued to the owner and /or resident of a property within an HOA. 6. Only Permit forms provided by the City shall be used. Application forms provided by the City shall completed and shall be kept on file by the HOA. 7. Permits shall only be valid for a maximum period of one year and may be renewed upon expiration. D. Committee Review This matter has been reviewed and discussed by the Transportation and Streets Committee. The Committee recommended that procedures be developed which could conveniently accommodate the granting of such a waiver to these parking restrictions at HOA Community Pool Areas. E. Summary The revised guidelines and proceedures set forth in the draft Moorpark Administrative Procedure (MAP) attached as Exhibit 2 provide for the issuance of HOA PARKING PERMITS by participating HOAs which will allow those authborized to park their vehicles along the frontage of an HOA Community Pool Area during periods when parking is prohibited to facilitate street sweeping. It is the recommendation of the Transportation and Streets Committee and staff that the City Council authorize the City Manager to revised the guidelines and procedures pertaining to the issuance of parking permits exempting vehicles from street sweeping parking restrictions, as described in Section E: Summary of this report. pooljrk 000Z;J0 Exhibit 1 (Page 1) Procedures For the Issuance of Parking Permits Exempting Certain Vehicles from Parking Restrictions Established to Facilitate Street Sweeping i_�_�� To establish guidelines and procedures for the issuance of PARKING PERMITS exempting certain vehicles from parking restrictions established to facilitate Street Sweeping.
