6.H. - Page 2 of 22 ANALYSIS This month, staff will begin accepting applications for Safe Parking Program participants and will tentatively schedule the opening of the off-street safe parking facility at 1402 Maple to open in late September/early October 2020. The parking ordinances will go into effect 30 days (October 14, 2020) after the second reading. City staff plans to have a two-week grace period providing warnings to RV owners between October 14 and October 31, 2020, with enforcement beginning on November 1, 2020. More information on the ordinance is available in the August 24, 2020 staff report, which can be found here. FISCAL IMPACT The total estimated project budget for the RV Safe Parking Program is approximately $1.7 million for two years. This includes approximately $750,000 per year in operational costs, including services provided by LifeMoves, and approximately $200,000 in one-time Parking Site improvement costs. The estimated budget does not include in-kind staff resources. Furthermore, the City Council at its July 13, 2020 meeting approved using $350,000 in state Permanent Local Housing Allocation grant funds for the rapid rehousing of the Temporary Safe Parking Program participants. 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 may decline to adopt the ordinances and provide direction to staff to pursue other options related to oversized vehicles, recreational vehicles, sleeping in vehicles, and two-hour parking.
