C. interests met and made its recommendations to the City on the particular rules to be applied to the Southgate RPP District. D. On April 26, 2017, the Planning and Transportation Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed Southgate Residential Preferential Parking program. E. On June 19, 2017, the Council adopted Resolution No. 9688, which established the Southgate Residential Preferential Parking program pilot and rescinded existing parking restrictions that conflicted with the restrictions established by this RPP district. The pilot program was twice amended in 2018 by Resolution Nos. 9742 and 9756. F. The Council desires to conclude the pilot program and implement on a continuing basis the Southgate Residential Preferential Parking program with modifications as detailed in this Resolution, including increasing the number of employee parking permits in Zone S1 to twenty and limiting the number of daily parking permits available to employees to twentyfour per sixmonth period. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES, as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. The criteria set forth in Section 10.50.030 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code for annexing the areas described in this Resolution as part of the Southgate Residential Preferential Parking Program District have been met as follows: That nonresident vehicles do, or may, substantially interfere with the use of onstreet or alley parking spaces by neighborhood residents, in that, based on observation, there are few available parking spaces available midday, while the streets are relatively unoccupied at midnight, thus demonstrating the parking intrusion is largely by nonresidents. That the interference by the nonresident vehicles occurs at regular and DocuSign Envelope ID: 280728B2-311E-4436-9519-08BF2748EEC1 frequent intervals, either daily or weekly, in that the parking intrusion is contained to the daytime hours during the regular workweek. That the nonresident vehicles parked in the area of the proposed district create traffic congestion, noise, or other disruption (including shortage of parking spaces for residents and their visitors) that disrupts neighborhood life, in that based on information from residents and other city departments the vehicle congestion is interfering with regular activities. Other alternative parking strategies are not feasible or practical in that the City has implemented a series of alternative parking strategies in the past and concurrently and there is still a shortage of parking available.
