On January 23, 2017, the Council adopted Resolution No. 9663, which established the Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program pilot and rescinded existing parking restrictions that conflicted with the restrictions established by this RPP district. B. On February 5, 2018, the Council adopted Resolution No. 9739 concluding the pilot and continuing the Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program as an ongoing program. At that time, the Council expressed a desire to expand the District boundary to include the east side of El Camino Real between College Avenue and Park Boulevard which would be established as a new, separate parking zone. El Camino Real is a state highway under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, and the application of the RPP regulations to El Camino Real is therefore subject to Caltrans' approval. C. The Council now desires to expand the District boundary as described above and make some technical corrections. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES, as follows: SECTION 1. SECTION 3, "Parking Restrictions within District", of Resolution No. 9739 is amended to read as follows: SECTION 3. Parking Restrictions within the District. A.
