Home My WebLink AboutCity Councilmember Item for the February 2, 2015 City Counci ry t. CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Interdepartmental Communication TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: DAVE SULLIVAN i Council City oun Member !/ DATE: JANUARY 26, 2015 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE FEBRUARY 2, 2015 CITY COUNCIL MEETING—REPEAL CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 2014-77 AND ELIMINATE PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT"S" STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On October 6, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-77, which established Permit Parking District "S" ("District-S") in the downtown area. District-S consists of portions of 7th Street, gth Street, 9th Street, Orange Avenue, Pecan Avenue, Acacia Avenue, and Palm Avenue. Chapter 10.42 of the Municipal Code governs the establishment of Residential Permit Parking Districts. Several unclear issues have been noted regarding the implementation and effectiveness of the current parking district process as set forth in this Chapter. The implementation and effectiveness of the current process should be reviewed by staff and then a revised ordinance should be presented to the City Council for approval. In the interim, no new districts should be established. Time is of the essence in this endeavor in order to allow the public to apply for permit parking districts with clarity of process. RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1. Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to take the necessary steps to repeal Resolution No. 2014-77 and eliminate District-S, which consists of portions of 7th Street, 8t Street, 9th Street, Orange Avenue, Pecan Avenue, Acacia Avenue, and Palm Avenue. 2. Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to review HBMC Chapter 10.42 and prepare an ordinance that is unambiguous to improve the implementation and effectiveness of the current parking district process. 3. Direct the City Manager to suspend consideration of any future parking districts pending the City Council's review of an ordinance to revise Chapter 10.42. 5-COMIVOuI)e� +—,770 c/4VI — 4190ed'1160 S— /—/ �X y—NO) cc: Fred Wilson, City Manager Ken Domer, Assistant City Manager Joan Flynn, City Clerk a � rTle=T7oAI mod, �'--*3 _ I�OMo"�b —0 —/ Esparza, Patty From: Surf City Pipeline [noreply@user.govoutreach.com] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 8:14 AM To: CITY COUNCIL; Agenda Alerts Subject: Surf City Pipeline: Comment on an Agenda Item (notification) Request#21153 from the Government Outreach System has been assigned to Agenda Alerts.

As downtown residents we can personally testify as to the need for the 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. limitation. We are wakened in the early morning hours when the bars close with loud voices, and curses of those looking for where they parked their cars. Often fights break out (I'm sure you all know about the stabbings), and we have experienced loud pounding on our door in the middle of the night from some bar patron we have never met wanting to be let in. It was terrifying. It's impossible to get a good night's rest. Then there's the trash and human waste deposited on our property. One "up" side is those who park their cars and haul out their suitcases so they don't have to pay the parking fee at the Shorebreak. At least we know these people won't be around looking to go home in the middle of the night. We have talked to the police about these issues, and they agree that the parking limitation would be a good idea. I just hope that all of you haven't been adversely influenced by the bar interests downtown to disallow the ordinance that was passed by a different council a few months ago.

This has been a Herculean task. Now you want to repeal it?????? I thought this council was all about LETTING THE PEOPLE VOTEN Well, we did.....or does our vote only count when you agree with the outcome?Now it's your duty to respect our wishes.

Your vote to repeal our permit parking has further taken away my rights to have peace in my home.... Its sad that you can be such a hypocrite and live with yourself...Thanks for nothing!
