Redwood City Residential Parking Permit Program 3 Procedures The procedures below provide for consistent parking permit area development from one neighborhood to the next. Staff has the flexibility to modify the following procedures when appropriate. Area Creation Initiating a new residential parking permit area requires completion of the following steps: 1. Resident or staff complete a Residential Parking Permit Program application form and submit it to the City’s Parking & Transportation Demand Manager at City Hall. 2. Through discussions with the applicant, the days and time limits of the proposed area and the geographic area will be identified. 3. Applicant will coordinate collection of signatures on a petition. The petition will clearly identify the proposed streets to be included in the RPP area, the time limits, and general rules associated with the RPP program. At least 50% of the addresses on each block must be reflected in the petition. Only one signature is needed per dwelling unit. Each house, apartment, or condominium will be considered a dwelling unit. The signature of a multi-family building owner or the building manager may substitute for signatures from each apartment within a complex. Staff initiated requests may skip this step at the discretion of the Parking & Transportation Demand Manager. 4. Optional: a. The applicant may request a neighborhood meeting to present the components of the RPP to the area. b. The applicant may demonstrate the support of their homeowners’/neighborhood association (if one exists) through the submittal of a letter of endorsement from that group. Any letters of support will be considered by the City’s Parking & Transportation Demand Manager. 5. Engineering staff will collect occupancy data on key street segments within the proposed RPP area. Only areas with an average occupancy rate of 80% or more during the proposed permit hours will continue in this process. 6. After completion of the parking occupancy survey, the Parking & Transportation Demand Manager will finalize the RPP area boundary and time limits and then distribute a survey to substantiate residential support for the new area. The survey will be distributed by the City to all residents in the proposed RPP area. At least 25% of dwelling units must respond to the survey, and of those respondents, a super majority (67%) must be in support of the RPP area to continue in this process. Survey results will also be provided to the Police Department for their input. 7. The Parking & Transportation Demand Manager will approve or deny a request for a residential parking permit area based on the information gathered during the evaluation process. The decision of the Parking & Transportation Demand Manager is final unless appealed to the Community Development Director. 9.A - Page 11
