<br />Staff has contacted and will continue to reach out to businesses that may have <br />employees currently parking in the neighborhood to help them transition to other long- <br />term parking options (such the Marshall and Sequoia Station parking garages). Based <br />on the estimated number of non-resident vehicles currently parking in this <br />neighborhood, there are an ample amount of monthly parking permits to accommodate <br />drivers in the public parking garages. <br /> <br />Enforcement <br />Enforcement of the new parking regulations is expected to begin on October 3. This <br />allows roughly six weeks for the City to notify residents via letter about the Council’s <br />action and to erect parking signs, and for residents to pick up their RPP permit(s). <br /> <br />If adopted, vehicles without a permit will be able to park for a maximum of 2 hours in <br />RPP Area “A”. For the first month of implementation, the Police Department will issue <br />warning citations to first-time violators who park longer than two hours without <br />displaying a valid residential parking permit. Repeat violators would receive a citation. <br />Per the Municipal Code, the standard hours of enforcement are Monday through Friday <br />(except holidays), from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Given the relatively limited area covered by the proposed time limit, the Police <br />Department would enforce the time limits with existing staff resources. Enforcement of <br />time limits is traditionally more labor intensive than enforcing payment, as it requires <br />checking on a vehicle at least twice to establish how long it has been parked rather than <br />once to determine if the driver has paid for their parking space. Once established, RPP <br />areas are typically enforced on a complaint basis. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose to not adopt the proposed Resolution, leaving the neighborhood <br />with no parking time limits, as it is today. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The cost to install the parking signs and to purchase new permits should be less than <br />$15,000 and would be paid from the operating budget. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />As the lead agency under CEQA, the City of Redwood City has determined that adding <br />parking time limits is categorically exempt from further review under CEQA Guidelines <br />Sections 15303 – New Construction and Small Structures and 15305 – Minor <br />Alterations in Land Use Limitations as the project consists of installing permit parking <br />signs and issuance of parking permits. <br />6.3.A. - Page 4
