These areas are shown on Figure 2. These locations appear to be impacted by the vehicle owners of residents from, the nearby apartment complexes, i� .. 4 W- 4- 11 AM AL in kka �, xx � _a � Y Figure 2. Parking Impacted Areas. To account for the potential movement of the commuter vehicles to locations just outside the recurring impacted parking areas, the district is recommended to be placed beyond the most impacted areas on the streets indicated below: • Softwind Drive between Springdale Street and just west of Woodstock Lane, and ® Angler Lane between Softwind Drive and just south of Palisade [give Number of addresses in parking district = 39 The proposed permit parking area is shown in Figure 3.

Complaints of excessive trash, noise, rudeness and late night activity were all cited along with typical parking impacts. Residents believe that all of these impacts are caused by commuter vehicle parking and not a result of tract resident use of the on-street parking. The following photos were provided by residents demonstrating the impacts that can be seen visually. Clearly some of the complaints cannot be fully substantiated by staff since they involve personal interaction with motorists over a significant amount of time.

A minimum of 75%of the Property Units on Softwind Drive and Angler Lane are in favor of the proposed Permit Parking District; and 2. Unrestricted parking creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot be used for parking by Residents or their guests because Commuter Vehicle parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of the available street parking; and 3. Unrestricted parking creates a situation where Commuter Vehicles or their occupants produce significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns. Therefore, the Director of Public Works has found the requirements of Chapter 10.42 to be reasonably fulfilled, and determined that the Permit Parking District will not affect other uses of on-street parking, NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve as follows Permit Parking District"T" is hereby established to include Softwind Drive and Angler Avenue, effective every day from 12 a.m. to 5 a in 15-4985/128075 doc 1 Resolution No . 2015-75 PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 16 t h day of November , 20 15 gyp,u or REVIE ,APPROVED APPROVED AS F YV ity Manager City Attorney Ilu'� IN IATED AND APP VE Director of Pub 'c Works 15-4985/128075 doc 2 Res.

Monday, November 16, 2015 12 04 AM To: Stachelski, Bob Cc: Rob W Subject. Fwd Residential Permit Parking on Angler Lane Last email was incomplete. Here is the complete letter Dear Mr Stachelski My husband and I live at 16302 Angler Lane, which is a little further down from the proposed area According to the map on the letter that we received, our concern is that the proposed area doesn't include our block on Angler, and it should for the following reasons First of all, by only sectioning off the affected area on Angler up to Palisade will bring the apartment parking problem to further down our block on Angler,just like it did to the current residence north of us on Angler and Softwind The permit parking should extend to all of Angler, so that we can prevent it from happening to us Our area is close enough for the people living in the apartments to want to park where we are It will save the city from costly changes later on when the same parking problem arises, like it did on Ballentine and Softwind Another reason to extend to our block is that our sidewalk is being fixed right now It wouldn't be too much of a problem to put up the signs right now On a positive note, extending the permit parking also may generate revenue for the city if someone violates the permit Finally, it's a traffic nightmare in the morning when I drive down on Angler around 7am to take my children to school We lived in this track for about 10 years, and it has gotten worse each year It use to never be that busy in the wee hours in the morning Right now, it's busy street like Edinger by Bella Terra No residence wants that in front of their house For that reason,the permit parking needs to extend to the end of Angler We don't want that traffic to extend to our block. Thank you for fixing the current parking problem, but don't let parking problem come down our block Anh&Rob Warren i Charles Messenger 6100 Edinger Ave #123 Huntington Beach, CA 92647 Dear Mr Stachelski This residential parking permit idea is a good idea in theory The only problem with the idea is that people need a place to park I need to work tonight,so unfortunately I can't make the meeting However,this is all good and fine, but residences in the immediate area should have the right to apply for a permit Not only the homeowners Best regards, Charles Messenger
