REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager August 8, 2016 SUBJECT Create a Residential Parking Permit Area in the Stambaugh-Heller Neighborhood RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution to establish a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Area "A" in the Stambaugh-Heller neighborhood, located in the area generally bounded by Middlefield Road, Chestnut Street, Spring Street and Maple Street BACKGROUND Redwood City’s Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program, established in 1985, is codified in Chapter 20, Article 7, Division 11 of the Municipal Code. RPP programs are typically established to discourage long-term parking by people who do not live in the residential neighborhood. RPP programs may also limit the number of resident vehicles parking on-street. The City currently has two RPP areas: · Area S which surrounds Sequoia High School, and · Area C which surrounds Sequoia Hospital. City staff and the Complete Streets Advisory Committee (“CSAC”) are in the process of updating the residential parking permit policy. The updated policy will establish the processes and procedures for creating, maintaining, and potentially removing residential parking areas. The CSAC reviewed a draft of the policy at its March 8, 2016 meeting. Following refinements to the policy, a revised draft will be presented to the CSAC at their August 10th meeting. The City Council will consider the recommended policy updates and other recommendations regarding neighborhood parking challenges at the September 12, 2016 City Council meeting. Given the commitment of neighborhood residents over the past 15 months, staff is recommending that the Council adopt the Stambaugh-Heller RPP request ahead of the larger RPP discussion this fall. The current RPP process, as well the results of the Stambaugh-Heller process, is described in this report. 6.3.A. - Page 1
