9.A. - Page 30 of 31 DRAFT — FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY ESTABLISHING RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT FEE FOR THE ISSUANCE OF PARKING PERMITS FOR USE IN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING AREAS WHEREAS, on October 14, 1985, the City Council of the City of Redwood City ("City") adopted an ordinance to establish a Residential Permit Parking program ("Program") to allow permit areas to be established within the City to provide residents an option to reduce parking impacts in their neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the City has established four Residential Parking Permit Areas ("permit areas") to date. These permit areas consist of the neighborhood around Sequoia Hospital, the neighborhood around Sequoia High School, a portion of the Stambaugh - Heller neighborhood, and a portion of the Friendly Acres neighborhood; and WHEREAS, under the current Program, the City does not charge residents a fee for parking permits. City staff conducted a fee study evaluating the current staff resources and costs needed to install new permit area signs and to administer parking permits to residents on an annual basis; and WHEREAS, the fee study was based on the permits issued in 2019 and took into consideration staff time, the cost to run the online portal residents use to apply for permits, printed materials related to the permits, and other City resources; and WHEREAS, the lack of a permit fee has made the Program difficult to sustain. Current Program costs and staff resources are being subsidized from general parking operation and sign maintenance budgets. With increased interest in the Program across the City, a reliance on general operating budgets is unsustainable and may negatively impact other City services; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish parking permit fees. City Code section 20.205 authorizes the City Council to establish by resolution fees for the issuance of residential parking permits, temporary permits, and for the replacement of lost, damaged, or destroyed permits or stickers ("Parking Permit Fees"). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. 2. The Parking Permit Fees shall be as follows: ATTY/RESO.0090/CC RESO ESTABLISHING RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT FEE REV: 09-03-19 PR Page 1 of 2 171
