REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-31 Establishing Permit Parking District "W" Affecting Residents on
Farinella Drive between Edwards Street and Cooper Lane.
Statement of Issue:
Residents on Farinella Drive between Edwards Street and Cooper Lane have petitioned to establish
a residential permit parking district, Permit Parking District "W° in Huntington Beach.
Financial Impact:
The provisions of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires that the residents
choosing to participate in a residential permit parking district pay a proportionate share of the cost to
establish a district making the district cost neutral to the City. Typical costs include, but are not
limited to, installation of signs, curb markings, staff time to issue permits, and administrative costs to
create a new parking district.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-31, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing Permit Parking District "W' Within the City of Huntington Beach"
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the recommended action.
Analysis:
Residents on Farinella Drive, between Edwards Street and Cooper Lane, submitted a petition
requesting permit parking due to parking impacts, noise, and littering issues from commuter parking.
The area is located north of Warner Avenue, east of Edwards Street just north of the Wintersburg
channel, and is shown on Attachment 1. The residents expressed that these concerns occur daily
preventing the use of on-street parking for themselves and guests, and are inconvenienced by late
night noise and disposing of trash left on their front yards by others. The residents have requested
that the permit parking restrictions be in place all day, every day, including holidays.
Following procedures in Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, Permit Parking Districts, City staff validated

the petition, determined that the concerns of the residents require further consideration, and
examined the proposed boundaries. Ballots to vote on the permit parking district request were sent
to the eleven (11) properties fronting Farinella Drive between Edwards Street and Cooper Lane. Ten
(10) of the properties returned the ballot with eight (8) supporting establishing permit parking.
Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires a minimum of 75% of the property units to be in favor of the
parking district to move the request for further consideration.
The first eight (8) of nine (9) properties fronting Farinella Drive east of Edwards Street voted in favor
of creating a permit parking district. The last two properties fronting Farinella Drive with Cooper Lane
addresses voted against establishing permit parking. Due to these two properties not supporting
permit parking staff removed these addresses from the requested permit parking area. Attachment 2
shows the recommended properties along Farinella Drive to be included in the requested parking
district.
As required by code, staff investigated the conditions on Farinella Drive in the requested permit
parking area to examine the parking conditions and related concerns. Field observations and
discussions with the residents demonstrated that the street experiences recurring parking impacts
from commuter vehicles, with the most significant impacts occurring late evenings, early mornings,
and on the weekends. Due to these conditions, staff believes findings can be made showing that
commuter parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of available street parking for
residents and their guests, and causes other related disturbances. These findings are consistent
with the Municipal Code requirements as a basis for establishing permit parking. The number of
addresses that would comprise the permit parking district is nine (9). Notices were sent to the
affected properties and properties within 500 feet of the proposed district boundaries indicating the
date and time of the City Council meeting.
Environmental Status:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

Staff received a petition from residents on Farinella Drive east of Edwards Street requesting permit
parking be established on the street. The reasons for the request include issues with the availability of
on-street parking for residents and their guests,trash placed on the street and front yards, and
excessive late night and early morning noise attributed to vehicles parking from the nearby apartment
complexes.
As required by regulations of Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, Permit Parking Districts, staff reviewed
and determined that the petition and request were valid. The proposed boundaries were examined
and a determination was made to include all the properties fronting Farinella Drive between Edwards
Street and Cooper Lane as the permit parking area for consideration as shown in Figure 2. Ballots

Results of the returned ballots were 73%of the property units fronting Farinella Drive between
Edwards Street and Cooper Lane supported permit parking. Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires a
minimum of 75% of the property units to be in favor of permit parking to continue evaluation of the
request. Examination of the voting showed that 89% of the property units with Farinella Drive
addresses supported the request, while the last two addresses intersecting Cooper Lane voted to not
support permit parking. Results are shown in Figure 3 on the following page.
Since the two east end properties fronting Farinella Drive, 16751 Cooper Lane, and 16781 Cooper Lane
did not support the request (1 no vote, 1 ballot not returned), residents and staff discussed and it was
agreed to remove these properties from participating in the proposed parking district. With these
properties removed the voting supported a permit parking district consisting of properties with
Farinella Drive addresses only as originally requested (Figure 1). The voting results removing the last
two east properties are shown in Table 2.

Analysis:
Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires staff to determine whether commuter vehicle parking regularly
interferes with the use of available on-street parking, or the unrestricted parking produces health,
safety, or welfare concerns. Based on the field observations and discussions with the requesting
residents,the proposed permit parking district street experiences recurring parking impacts from
commuter vehicles. The on-street parking impacts regularly occur during the evening and early
morning hours on weekdays and on weekends as shown in the photos on the following pages. In
addition to the parking impacts from the commuter vehicles,the residents have expressed concerns
with trash on the street and late night excessive noise said to occur nightly. Because of the parking
impacts and associated disturbances the property owners are strongly in favor of establishing permit
parking. -
Staff Recommendation:
Based on the field observations and discussion with the requesting properties staff is recommending
establishing permit parking along the Farinella Drive, Farinella Drive addresses only, every day, all day,
including holidays. The last two properties on the east end of Farinella Drive would not be included
due to not supporting the permit parking district request. Staff believes findings can be made which
demonstrates that commuter vehicle parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of the
available street parking for residents and their guests. These findings are consistent with
requirements of the Municipal Code as a basis for establishing permit parking on a residential street.

Subject: Farinella Drive City Council Meeting
Hi Bob! I'm not sure if my;husband and I will be able to attend the council meeting tomorrow, our baby is sick
and we aren't sure if he will be well enough for us to attend tomorrow. We wanted to share our input about
the proposed residential parking permit. We understand that we can't carry out a conversation via email
about our concerns, so we will just list our points of concern here.
My husband and I bought our house on Farinella Dr. in 2016. He has lived in HB for about 8 years and I have
lived here 31 years.
#1 -The volume of cars that park on our street, in front of our houses is extremely high - and out of that
volume of cars, only a couple of those cars belong to known residents of Farinella Dr. Literally every available
spot on Farinella Drive will be taken up - we are talking 15-20+ cars on Farinella Dr.
#2 - We have seen time and time again that trash and food are left littering our street and front yards. We
have even seen a used feminine hygiene product left lying around in front of our house.
#3 - We have seen people sleep in their cars overnight in front of our house/on Farinella Dr. To us, that feels
like a safety concern.
#4 - Cars parked on our street are left for DAYS at a time.
#5 - Due to the high volume of cars parked on Farinella Dr, from non-residents, we have lack of available
parking for immediate family members.
#6 - Some cars that are parked on our street have broken windows, creating an easy target for theft, which
can escalate to secured vehicles or houses.
#7 - We feel the excess parking from non-residents decreases the value of our home.
#8 -The volume of cars on the street creates an un-easy feeling for our high-school aged son who walks
to/from school and also creates an un-easy feeling when we return home late at night.
#9 -The cars that belong to non-residents, we feel, belong to the near-by apartment complex residents. The
monthly rent that the apartment complex tenants pay helps to cover the maintenance of their own complex
and their designated parking area - however, the residents utilize Farinella Dr as their own parking lot/area,
yet we as Farinella Dr. homeowners are left responsible for extra maintenance due to these vehicles, and end
up having to clean up/maintain what is left behind from these vehicles- as if we should take care of it like
their association should if they were in their own designated area. It seems it should not be the burden of
Farinella Drive to take in the excess vehicles from the tenants of the apartment complex and be responsible
for their maintenance that should normally be covered be their apartment complex. It should not be the
burden of Farinella Dr to have excess trash, wear & tear and unnecessary safety concerns due to the lack of
parking available within these near-by apartment complexes - more burden than other HB streets.
#10 - As our baby grows up and begins to play outside, we would like the added comfort of not having the
ENTIRE street filled with parked cars and having trash on our front yard.
#11 - We feel that approving Farinella Drive the residental parking permits would improve the quality/value of
Farinella Drive and improve the quality of life of it's residents by decreasing fear/safety concerns, trash,
loitering, prolonged parking, lack of available parking spaces, cars that are not secured (broken windows),
etc.
We take pride in living on Farinella Dr in HB, but we don't feel our little street should bear the burden on non-
residents always parking on our street, leaving their trash, leaving the cars for days, creating safety concerns,
etc.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincereky,
Jennifer & Isaac Cambron

Subject: Farinella Dr parking permits - Yes
Hello Bob Stachelski,
Every time I drive out of the neighborhood, I feel bad for the Farinella Dr residents. Their
street is always lined with cars that I assume to be overflow from the nearby apartment
complexes. There would be no room for a homeowner's guest to park.
I think the parking permits are a good solution to the Farinella Dr street parking problem. I
also think the apartment residents, who clearly have insufficient parking at their complex,
would move to Brad Dr or Cooper Ln or across Edwards St if they haven't already.
Can there also be ways to address the issue at the source of the problem (i.e. , parking at
the nearby apartment complexes)? I spoke to a previous resident of the apartment complex on
the NW corner of Warner and Edwards who said the property managers did not efficiently handle
the parking spots available and some available permits and spots were unused. I saw an online
Yelp review (which I cannot personally verify) in the last month that claimed the parking
situation at the apartment complex on the NE corner of Warner and Edwards was atrocious and
made worse by the apartment management's recent change to parking policy. Can the city meet
with the nearby apartment complex managers and discuss the "nuisance" issue caused by the
overflow parking and `reported' inefficient parking management? Can the apartment management
be invited to the City Council meeting so they are fully aware of the problem?
Another possible solution might be for the apartment complex managers to work with the owners
of the parking lots on the corner (Big Lots parking lot, for example) and see if a portion of
that lot could be leased for apartment complex dwellers? That particular lot (Big Lots) is
never full and the property owners might welcome the additional income.
Thanks for working with the residents on this issue.

Subject: Farinella resedential parking permit request
As a nearby home owner (16791 Cooper Ln. ), I appreciate the concerns of the Farinella Drive
residents because the number of cars being parked there is discommodious to the extreme. I
am, however, concerned that the proposed permit parking limits are too constrained and the
same vehicles will just be parked on Cooper Lane. This would worsen the situation, as only
Farinella has an oversize residential plot with an unused curb side (on the north corner of
Farinella and Edwards) . The apartment dwellers on Warner seem to have insufficient parking
and are driven to park in remote locations and I don't think that walking one more short
block would be a deterrent. Perhaps the city might explore options for alternative parking
prior to just pushing the problem onto the Farinella residents' neighbors. Part of the value
of a home is the proximity to apartment buildings; the proposed Farinella permit parking
district might unfairly shift local property values. The parking lot for the strip mall on
the northwest corner of Warner and Goldenwest seems underutilized and there is normally some
room in the Murdy Park lot; perhaps the apartment dwellers might be offered some type of
parking permit for those areas, providing, at least, temporary relief in conjunction with
enactment of a broader Irby Park area resident parking permit district. Respectfully
submitted, Joe Pivetti

Subject: RE: Farinella Drive - Permit Parking Question
Ms. Runyan—The request was initiated from residents on Farinella to address problems they have been experiencing
from people parking on the streets that don't live in the neighborhood. The problems are basically twofold. First, the
parking impacts the availability of parking for those residents. Second,the nature of the parking results in significant
noise and litter in the neighborhood impacting the residents' quality of life. Generally speaking, the parking appears to
be associated with the apartment buildings along Warner—either residents parking in the neighborhood or their guests.
Our permit parking program acknowledges these "quality of life" impacts to neighborhoods as a reasonable basis for
establishing a permit parking district, at the discretion of the City Council.
I hope that helps to explain the circumstances. Would you like us to share your original e-mail with the City Council
tonight? Since it was just a question rather than directly expressing either objection or support for the request it isn't
clear if that was your intent.
Sincerely,
Bob Stachelski
