CC SR 20150721 L - RPV Resident Recreation Parking Pass ProgramMEMORANDUM RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: ,(MICHAEL THRONE, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS -Y�o DATE: JULY 21, 2015 SUBJECT: ESTABLISH THE RPV RESIDENT RECREATION PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM REVIEWED: DOUG WILLMORE, CITY MANAGER M/tt) Project Manager: Nicole Jules, Deputy Director of Public Works T1 RECOMMENDATION ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ESTABLISHING THE RPV RESIDENT RECREATION PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM. BACKGROUND As the City continues to address the issue of parking as it relates to access to our public amenities, it is important to ensure that parking is reserved for our residents who help fund many of the public improvements enjoyed by all. At the April 21, 2015 and June 16, 2015 City Council meetings, while providing an update on the Crenshaw Blvd/Del Cerro Park Parking alternatives, staff introduced the concept of establishing a Resident Recreational Parking Permit Program that would allow residents to park in designated parking areas throughout the city. DISCUSSION In accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 10.20, the City may initiate a resident recreational parking permit to limit parking to residents only within certain areas of the City, which are to be defined by resolution of the Council. The Resident Recreational Parking Permit will be an annual pass to be obtained by any resident who desires to park in designated spaces throughout the City. Permits may be obtained for each vehicle owned by any bona fide resident of the city. Proof of residency is required at the time permits are applied for. The permit would apply every day of the week, from dawn to dusk. The cost for the Resident Recreational Parking Permit is free. 1 These annual passes will be distributed by the Public Works Department, similar to the Neighborhood Permit Parking program, to city residents upon confirmation of proof of residency. A decal will be issued to each registered vehicle and shall be placed in the lower left corner of the driver's windshield so that it is easily seen by parking monitors. The cost to administer this program is nominal and will consist of purchasing small informational signs and decals. The decals cost $2.50 each and will look similar to the decals issued for the Neighborhood Permit Parking program. Parkinq Enforcement The City's parking programs are continuously growing with the addition of the Del Cerro, Rancho Crest and Island View Neighborhood Permit Parking programs coming on line in the near future. With the addition of the Resident Recreation Parking Permit, the City will have a total of 13 parking programs. To achieve full effectiveness of these programs, enforcement is an essential tool to discourage violators. The Lomita Sheriff's station is the city's default enforcement tool however, parking enforcement may not be the best area to direct these essential resources. As an alternative, the City may consider utilizing the services of a roving unarmed security company to conduct parking enforcement, 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff received two proposals for enforcement services. The proposals are summarized below. —F HourlY IMonthlY AnnualSecurit Service Provider Rate Cost Cost Green Knight Security Mobile Patrol Unit $16.05 _Bike Patrol Specialist 6 $17.92 Ameriquest Foot Patrol Officer $_16.25 _Mobile Patrol Unit (3xlday�_ _ $20 FISCAL IMPACT $3,595 $43,140 $4,014 $34,406 $3,640 $43,680 $1,600 $19,200 Adopting staff's recommendation will result in an impact to the FY 2015-2016 budget. The costs associated with establishing this permit program is approximately $2,000 which funds the production and installation of the permit parking signs and procures the 2 parking decals. Funding for these costs is available in the Traffic Management Program of the adopted FY 2015-2016 budget. Should the Council decide to move forward with a roving security unit to conduct parking enforcement, a budget adjustment will be needed to fund the cost of the security services.

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: 1470461-1 ki 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.
