This document clarifies the procedures used by the (:try 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 Permit Parking Permit (RPP) Program in 1985. The program is codified in Chapter 20, Article VII, Division 11 of the (:try's Municipal Code. Since its inception, the City has created two four RPP areas: 6 Area S which surrounds Sequoia I ligh School, and © Area C which surrounds Sequoia I lospital. 0 Area A which is along Stambaugh Avenue just outside Downtown Redwood City M Area B which is the northern portion of the Friendly Acres neighborhood Policies This policy establishes the fnunework for initiating, operating, and removing residential permit parking areas. The RPP program is intended to regulate on -street parking knot weekdays in permit parking permit areas within the City in order to make more on -street parking available for local residents according to these policies:! 9.A. - Page 13 of 31 154 Redaoal (:1g Res�den ml fading Pemut Pa)gnm ^_ 11To request implementation of a residential permit parking permit program, aimpacted parking impact generator must exist. ]'Itis program is not intended to restrict or limit the amount of residential vehicle., that may park on street within a given neighborhood. O'1'he 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. 0 Implementation of a RPP area does notguarantee the availability of parking spaces on a public street, or within a specific neighborhood, because more parking permits may be issued than there are available on -street parking spaces. p The program allows for the ncighborhooclCity Council to set the days and hours for anyone passenger vehicles to park on -street Monday through Friday (except for City holidays) from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm up to the posted time limit (which areis established by a resolution with the creation of each RPP area), those with a parking permit displayed can park longer.are exempt from the posted restrictions ® Blocks within each permit parking permit area will be determined based on the potential of parked cars to overflow and impact adjacent streets via a collaborative process between residents Commented (ICII: I see no reason why the permit parking should be limited to weekdays. No=d land use Policy (that I can think of) only applies during business hours. Commented pt21: Again, why the arbitrary Omits to daytime hours during the business week? If irsa residential program, it operates independently of business demand. les not like out of [owners are leu likely to store cars in Friendly Acres at 9 on Friday night than they are at 7 on mondaymorning.
