EXHIBIT A Redwood CityI California wmdA1sn Permit Parking Program Poli Purpose The goal of the Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program is to better manage on -street parking in residential neighborhoods. This document clarifies the procedures used by the City 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 Program in 1985. The program is codified in Chapter 20, .Article VII, Division 11 of the City's Municipal Code. Since its inception, the City has created four RPP areas: • Area S which surrounds Sequoia High School, and • Area C which surrounds Sequoia Hospital. • Area A which is along Stambaugh Avenue just outside Downtown Redwood City • Area B which is the northern portion of the Friendly Acres neighborhood Policies This policy establishes the framework for initiating, operating, and removing residential permit parking areas. The RPP program is intended to regulate on -street parking in permit parking areas within the City in order to make more on -street parking available for local residents according to these policies: • To request implementation of a residential permit parking program, impacted parking must exist. • The 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. • Implementation of a RPP area does not guarantee 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.
