6.F. - Page 4 of 23 presented at the September 9, 2019 City Council meeting. Feedback provided by the City Council has been incorporated into the final version of the document. This document was reviewed by the Transportation Advisory Committee and recommended for approval. This policy and procedures document will be used to educate the public on the purpose of the Residential Permit Parking Program and to provide a clear outline on the process that is followed to establish and administer new permit parking areas. Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the policy and procedures as identified in the document. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed changes do not have any direct costs associated with them. The current residential permit parking program costs approximately $35,000 annually to administer. The proposed changes could increase community interest in the program and lead to increased costs for the program if more people participate. In addition, future costs potentially could be incurred if existing parking signs need to be altered to reflect changes to the parking regulations in each area. The expansion in permit areas or hours of parking restrictions could increase Police Department enforcement costs. None of the proposed changes includes establishing a permit fee at this time. Staff will further analyze the program's costs and will bring a program budget recommendation to the City Council in 2020. This could include recommendations to increase citation costs and impose permit fees. All residential permits for the calendar year 2020 will be provided at no charge to permit area residents. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting ALTERNATIVES The City Council can choose not to adopt the proposed Ordinance amendments and instruct staff to continue to administer the Residential Permit Parking Program per the existing code. This could impact staff's ability to administer the Permit Parking Program or to deliver other transportation or parking related services due to budget constraints.
