REPORT OF PARKING CCNIDITIONS
Tract Number 5664
Huntington Strand
I. Location
The subject tract is located in the southern portion of Huntington Beach,
generally at the intersection of Brockhurst and Bushard Streets. The area
is located within the Coastal Zone.
The streets involved are Gateshead Drive, Harwich Lane, Folkstone Circle,
and Wallingford Lane. Exhibit A, attached, shows these streets and the
adjacent area.
II. Petition and Desire of Residents
A petition of the residents was received by the Public Works Department.
The 49 properties represented by the signatures were 75.4% of 65 existing
in the tract. However, they represent only 71.8% of the "developed front-
age" in the tract. The ordinance calls for at least 75% of that frontage
to be represented by the petitioners. Vacant properties and properties be-
ing sold represent more than the difference in footage. Exhibit B shows
the properties shaded which did not sign the petition.
III. Parking Availability
As shown on Exhibit C, on-site parking opportunities represent 290 parking
spaces. All of the properties have at least 2 on-site driveway parking
spaces available.
Parking studies were conducted during the week days when the parking pro-
hibition did not apply. Table 1 summarizes the results of those studies.
Time lapse films were also taken of the area around the Bushard entrance.
None of the studies demonstrated a negative impact by "ccnmuter vehicles"
upon the on-street parking available for use by local residents.
Field observation of driver behavior revealed that many drivers entering
the tract observed the signs posted, and failing to note that the restriction
only applied to Saturday, Sunday and holidays, turned around and left the
area-Although this misunderstanding produced a desireable effect, i.e. no
commuter parking, it did not allow accurate data to be acquired regarding
commuter parking demand in the tract. These observations did indicate a
much higher demand for parking by non-residents than was indicated by the
figures in Table 1.
IV. Alternative Measures
Consideration was given to alternative parking restrictions to accomplish
the same goals as would be achieved by permit parking measures. The alterna-
tives were:
a. 2-hour parking limit= 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
b. No parking during certain hours --
Reason for rejection: has the same problem as the current signing
in restricting resident use.
