CC RES 2019-002 RESOLUTION NO. 2019-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, REVISING THE CITY OF RANCHO
PALOS VERDES RESIDENT RECREATION PARKING PERMIT
PROGRAM AND RESCINDING AND REPLACING RESOLUTION
NO. 2015-72.
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.
WHEREAS, on July 21, 2015, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes adopted City Council Resolution No. 2015-72, establishing the RPV
Resident Recreational Parking Permit Program, which reserved ten parking
spaces on Crenshaw Boulevard to City residents who wish to visit the nearby Del
Cerro Park and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve for recreational purposes.
WHEREAS, the City Council established the RPV Resident Recreational
Parking Permit Program because nonresident visitors fully utilized all available
public parking for extended periods of time. These parked vehicles were precluding
residents of the City from being able to park and enjoy the public amenities, which
constituted a deterioration of their residential quality of life.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that parking by non-residents on Park
Place to access Del Cerro Park and the Nature Preserve is causing excessive
traffic because the street is a cul-de-sac, and spaces are taken by nonresident
visitors for many hours at a time.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that reserving the 16 non-ADA parking
spaces on Park Place instead of the 10 spaces on Crenshaw Boulevard to
residents visiting Del Cerro Park and the Nature Preserve will achieve its goal of
easing resident access to the amenities and will reduce the traffic issues on Park
Place, while at the same time ensuring public access to Del Cerro Park and the
Nature Preserve.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the 16 parking spaces on Park Place
may also serve as spaces for guests of Park Place residents, subject to a properly
submitted and approved petition for neighborhood permit parking by the Park
Place Homeowners Association, as required by Chapter 10.20.
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined 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 FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Required Findings.
The City Council finds that a recreation parking permit program for City
residents who desire to park on Park Place for the enjoyment of Del Cerro
Park and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve continues to be necessary to
mitigate the adverse parking impacts caused by long-term parking of
vehicles belonging to nonresident visitors to the public amenities. These
adverse impacts have resulted in deterioration of the quality of life for City
residents, and are detrimental to 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 mitigate these adverse impacts and to provide reasonably
available and convenient parking for the benefit of City residents who wish
to access Del Cerro Park and the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve.
Section 2. Designation of Resident Recreation Permit Parking Area.
Based upon the findings in Section 1, the following areas are designated for
resident recreation permit parking:
Park Place 16 existing non-ADA parking spaces
These parking spaces may also be subject to Neighborhood Permit Parking
restrictions.
Section 3. 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, shall be
as follows:
Resident recreation parking shall be by permit only. Recreational parking
permits shall be available to all residents of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes. Parking shall be limited to 3 hours maximum from one hour before
dawn till one hour after dusk, 365 days a year. Between one hour after dusk
and one hour before dawn, citywide parking limitations shall apply.

at the vehicle owner's sole expense.
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).
