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. In Redwood City ("City"), the adopted RPP program was designed to discourage long-term parking by people who do not live in the residential neighborhood, and generally limit the number of resident vehicles parked on the street during daytime hours. The City currently has three RPP areas: • Area S which surrounds Sequoia High School • Area C which surrounds Sequoia Hospital, and • Area A which in the Stambaugh -Heller neighborhood southeast of Downtown The City received two petitions requesting an RPP program in the Friendly Acres Neighborhood. The first was received in late 2017 from Avenue Two Apartments and the adjacent properties on Second Avenue. The second petition was received in January 2018 from the residents within the area generally bordered by Second Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Broadway and Bay Road. The petitions requested RPP areas to reduce parking in the residential neighborhood by employees of nearby commercial areas and to generally limit the number of vehicles parking on -street.
