Residential Parking Permit Program Policy To be Adopted by the City Council of Redwood City Month Day 2016 Purpose The goal of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP) is to better manage on- street parking in residential neighborhoods. This document clarifies the procedures used by the City to implement the program. Background Redwood City uses a combination of parking meters, residential parking permits, time limits, and color curb regulations to manage on-street parking. On-street parking is part of the city’s transportation system and effective on-street parking management helps create parking availability, thereby making it easier to park, reducing congestion and illegal parking, and increasing public safety and economic vitality. Redwood City created its Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program in 1985. The program is codified in Chapter 20, Division 11 of the City’s Municipal Code. Since its inception, the City has created two RPP areas: · Area S which surrounds Sequoia High School, and · Area C which surrounds Sequoia Hospital. Policies This policy establishes the framework for initiating, operating, and removing residential permit parking areas. The RPP program is intended to regulate on-street parking in parking permit areas within the City in order to make more on-street parking available for local residents according to these policies: · To request implementation of a residential parking permit program, a parking impact generator must exist. This program is not intended to restrict or limit the amount of residential vehicles that may park on street within a given neighborhood. · The RPP program is intended for use in single family and multi-family residential areas, not in mixed use areas where residents and businesses are expected to share parking. 9.A - Page 9
