CC RES 2015-065 RESOLUTION NO. 2015-65
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
ESTABLISHING PERMIT PARKING ON VALLEY VIEW ROAD IN THE RANCHO CREST
HOA NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY
FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, Chapter 10.20 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code authorizes the
City Council to establish permit parking in areas in the City by resolution pursuant to the
authority provided by California Vehicle Code Section 22507; and
WHEREAS, Del Cerro Park and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve is located just to the
south of the Rancho Crest HOA neighborhood, and patrons (non-residents) of the park and
Preserve have been observed parking their vehicles for long periods of time on the streets
within the area. These parked vehicles are precluding residents who live in this area from being
able to park vehicles in front of their homes, which is causing a deterioration of their residential
quality of life; and
WHEREAS, the residents along Valley View Road, have requested the City to regulate the
parking in this neighborhood to address the parking problems associated non-residents parking
cars on these streets; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of permit parking 7 days a week, 24-hours a day, is
intended to reduce parking impacts along this streets created by nonresident vehicular parking,
and is necessary to provide reasonably available and convenient parking for the benefit of
residents who live on this street and their guests.
WHEREAS, the City Council determines that establishing permit parking would
not result in significant environmental effects because the result of the program will not
significantly alter existing conditions. Therefore, in accordance to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council finds that establishment of the permit parking program is
considered a Categorical Exemption from CEQA based on Section 15301(c) of Article 19, which
states that operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of
existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographic features
involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
determination.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Required Findings. The City Council finds that the establishment of a
permit parking area for Valley View Road 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, is necessary to
provide parking on this street for the residents who live there that is caused by long term parking
of nonresident vehicles on these streets. These adverse impacts have resulted in deterioration
of the residential quality and character of the Rancho Crest neighborhood to the detriment of its
residents and their property values. For these reasons, the City Council finds that the
establishment of a permit parking area for the streets listed in Section 2 of this Resolution is
necessary to avoid the adverse impacts upon the adjacent residential area indicated above and
to provide reasonably available and convenient parking for the benefit of the residents along
these streets throughout the day and evening.
Section 2. Designation of Permit Parking Area. Based upon the findings in Section
1, the following areas are designated for permit parking:
Valley View Road (both sides from Crenshaw Blvd to end of street)
Section 3. Designation of Parking Restrictions. Pursuant to Section 22507 of the
Vehicle Code, the permit parking restrictions on the portions of the streets listed in Section 2
above in the Rancho Crest HOA neighborhood shall be as follows:
No parking except by permit only.
Section 4. Posting of Signs. The parking prohibitions contained in Section 3 of this
Resolution shall not become effective until signs have been posted giving adequate notice of
the parking restrictions imposed by this resolution. The Director of Public Works is hereby
authorized to erect such signs. Vehicles that are parked without displaying the required permit
may be towed pursuant Vehicle Code Section 22651(n).
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 21st day of July 2015.
