California Vehicle Code Section 22507 authorizes the establishment, by city council action, of permit parking programs in residential neighborhoods for residents and other categories of parkers. B. On December 15, 2014, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 5294, adding Chapter 10.50 to Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, which established the city-wide procedures for (RPP) Districts in the city. C. On May 9, 2016, the City Council directed City staff to implement a Residential Preferential Parking program in the Evergreen Park-Mayfield area. D. In July 2016, a stakeholders’ group comprised of Evergreen Park residents and business interests met two times and made its recommendations to the City on the particular rules to be applied to the Evergreen Park-Mayfield RPP District. E. On December 14, 2016, the Planning and Transportation Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed Evergreen Park-Mayfield residential preferential parking program. F. 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Resolution No. 9663, which established the Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program pilot and rescinded existing parking restrictions that conflicted with the restrictions established by this RPP district. G. In October and November 2017, the City conducted a parking occupancy study in the Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program District and met with residents and stakeholders to receive program feedback. The study found occupancies below 60% in Employee Parking Zones A and B, with areas of higher occupancy closer to businesses. In addition, some businesses were unable to receive Employee Parking Permits under the current limits. H. It is the goal of the City to reduce the impacts of non-resident overflow parking from the commercial areas on the surrounding neighborhoods. I. On February 5, 2018, the Council adopted Resolution 9739, which continued the Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program as an ongoing program with modifications to address issues identified in the pilot. DocuSign Envelope ID: 3682E58B-F840-4FD6-841F-9A14FF6DE305 2 242_20211019_ts24 J. The Council now desires to amend and restate Resolution 9739 to eliminate employee parking permits in certain zones, allow the use of virtual permits, and update outdated procedures. 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 designating a Residential Preferential Permit Zone have been met as follows: A. That non-resident vehicles do, or may, substantially interfere with the use of on-street 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. B. That the interference by the non-resident vehicles occurs at regular and frequent intervals, either daily or weekly, in that the parking intrusion is most severe during daytime hours during the regular workweek. C. That the non-resident vehicles parked in the area of the 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. D. 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. SECTION 2. Definitions. A. “Dwelling Unit” shall have the same meaning as it is defined in Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 10.50.020. B. “Evergreen Park-Mayfield Residential Preferential Parking Program District” or “District” shall be that area as shown in Exhibit A to this Resolution.
