9.A. - Page 2 of 31 The City currently has four RPP areas (Attachment A): • Area A near the south end of Broadway in the Friendly Acres Neighborhood • Area B near Downtown in the Stambaugh/Heller Neighborhood • Area S which surrounds Sequoia High School, and • Area C which surrounds Sequoia Hospital. Current Residential Parking Permit Program Key features of the RPP program, as outlined in Chapter 20, Article VII, Division 11 of the Municipal Code include: • On -street parking permits may be issued to property owners or residents of a property within an RPP area • Up to three annual permits may be issued to a single address, but only one permit is issued per vehicle • Up to 10 (24-hour), guest permits may be issued per address per year • The City may charge a fee established by resolution for the permits, but to date no such resolution has been adopted • On -street parking time limits are set when an RPP area is established, typically 2 hours • Parking restrictions are in place Monday — Friday, 7:OOAM — 6:OOPM. Vehicles with permits may be parked on street for up to 72 hours. Vehicles without permits may be cited for violating the time limit at the cost of approximately $40.00. The City has established Residential Permit Parking program areas in four Redwood City neighborhoods. Attached are maps of each of these areas. At this time there are no active requests for new areas, but there are requests to expand two of the existing areas. Community Development staff are currently reviewing these requests with neighborhood representatives. Later this year, at the request of nearby neighbors, staff will explore eliminating or reducing the area around Sequoia Hospital as it no longer serves the purpose for which it was installed. The current RPP ordinance was adopted to provide a mechanism to obtain parking relief in neighborhoods experiencing spillover parking from nearby commercial centers. While this need still exists today, staff also recognizes an increased need for relief for on -street parking congestion from within the neighborhood itself. This impact is not addressed by the current program because parking congestion generated within the neighborhood occurs at different times and can manifest in different ways. Staff recommends modifying the RPP program ordinance in response to feedback from residents, described further below. Staff also seeks City Council feedback on proposed revisions to program policy and procedures and on proposed administrative fees to partially offset the cost of providing the RPP program.
