CC RES 2015-072 RESOLUTION NO. 2015-72
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
ESTABLISHING THE RPV RESIDENT RECREATION PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM.
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 and west of Crenshaw Blvd, and visitors (non-residents) to the park and Preserve have
fully utilized all available public parking in the Park and along Crenshaw Blvd for extended
periods of time. These parked vehicles are precluding residents who live in the City from being
able to park and enjoy public amenities, which is causing a deterioration of their residential
quality of life; and
WHEREAS, the City is initiating permit parking for residents for ten parking spaces on
Crenshaw Blvd to address the parking problems associated with non-residents parking cars in
this area; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of permit parking for City residents along a small portion
of Crenshaw Boulevard consisting of ten parking spaces, seven days a week, from dawn to
dusk, is intended to reserve parking spaces along Crenshaw Blvd, and is necessary to provide
reasonably available and convenient parking for the benefit of residents who live in Rancho
Palos Verdes:
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
recreation parking permit program for residents who desire to park on Crenshaw Blvd for the
enjoyment of Del Cerro Park and the Nature Preserve, seven days a week, from dawn to dusk,
is necessary to provide parking on this street for the residents who live in the City that is caused
by long term parking of nonresident vehicles on Crenshaw Blvd. These adverse impacts have
resulted in deterioration of the quality of life to the detriment of its residents and their property
values. For these reasons, the City Council finds that the establishment of a designated permit
parking area for the portion of the street listed in Section 2 of this Resolution is necessary to
avoid the adverse impacts upon the residents and to provide reasonably available and
convenient parking for the benefit of the residents parking to enjoy the Park and Nature
Preserve.
Section 2. Designation of Permit Parking Area. Based upon the findings in Section
1, the following areas are designated for resident permit parking:
Crenshaw Blvd (first 10 parking spaces along the west side from Park Place to
about 200 feet northly)
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 on Crenshaw Blvd 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.
