CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
- REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 10/6/2014
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. 2014-77 establishing Residential Permit Parking District
"S" affecting residents within the proposed district on 7th Street, 8th Street, 9th
Street, Olive Avenue, Orange Avenue, Pecan Avenue, Acacia Avenue, and Palm
Avenue in Huntington Beach
Statement of Issue:
Residents within a defined area on 7th Street, 8th Street, 9th Street, Olive Avenue, Orange Avenue,
Pecan Avenue, Acacia Avenue, and Palm Avenue have petitioned the City for a permit parking
district to address night time parking issues with non-residents parking in the area.
Financial Impact:
The provisions of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires that the residents
choosing to participate in the residential parking permit district pay a proportionate share of the cost
to establish or amend the district, making the district revenue neutral. Typical costs include, but are
not limited to, installation of signs, curb markings, staff time to issue permits, and administrative
costs to create or amend the district. The revenue of$21,852 is expected to be off-set by the costs
to install and administer the program for this district over the next five-years resulting in a revenue-
neutral action. Cost for parking enforcement is not addressed by this requirement.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-77, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing Permit Parking District "S"Within the City of Huntington Beach" prohibiting parking
without a permit on the designated streets between 10 PM and 5 AM, daily.
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the recommended action.
Analysis:
Public Works received a request to implement a residential permit parking district containing the
following streets:
7th Street, 8th Street, between Walnut Avenue and Palm Avenue
Olive, Orange, and Acacia between 6th/7th alley and 9th/10th alley
Pecan from 6th Street to the 9th/10th alley; and
Southwest (ocean) side of Palm between the 7th Street and 9th/10th alley
The residents are requesting permit parking due to the late night disturbances and actions of those
parking in the area. The residential permit parking has been requested to be in place every day
Item 6. - 1 I I B -104-
Dept. ID PW 14-062 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 10/6/2014
from 10 PM to 5 AM. It is important to note that the area parking supply is not impacted to the point
of residents finding it difficult to park during these times.
As required by Chapter 10.42 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, Public Works created a
petition with all the addresses of the affected properties to be circulated on the street. The
requesting party circulated the petition and returned it with signatures from occupants or owners of
81% (366 of 453) of the dwelling units. Staff also reviewed support within each block and found
that the minimum 67% support was satisfied for each block within the proposed district. Upon
receipt of the petition, Public Works investigated the request, found that it meets the intent of the
residential permit parking program, and can recommend establishing the permit parking district on
the requested streets. Public Works has reviewed the requirements to establish the permit parking
district and the cost for the installation and parking permits is estimated to be $15,352 and $6,500,
respectively, for a total cost of$21,852.
The possibility of establishing a permit parking district near the downtown area was discussed at
length during the Downtown Task Force meetings held of the past year as well as City Council
study sessions. One issue reviewed in detail was the effect of Coastal Zone and Downtown
Specific Plan designations in the area. The proposed permit parking district lies entirely outside the
boundaries of both the Coastal Zone and Downtown Specific Plan making it eligible for
consideration under Chapter 10.42 of the HBMC.
If established, the permit parking district will be reviewed as to its effect upon the overall parking
situation in the downtown area. This review will contribute information to other parking efforts to be
analyzed based in input from the Downtown Task Force and City Council and presented to City
Council over the course of the next year.
Public Works Commission Action:
Not required.
Environmental Status:
Not required.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety

Hi Jennifer,
I am not going to tag you on the thread on HBCF, you got enough free publicity yesterday
Here is the video I mentioned -- It is outrageous and unconscionable and this is the person who
organized the gathering of signatures and delivered them to Bob,the transportation manager. Kim
Kramer can be heard saying in this clip"For those of you who raised your hands'no'...think about
what that is going to do to your life." This is a false choice that presents two choices,voting Yes, or
voting No and your life will be terrible. The ridiculous thing about their approach is that the outcome
presented as the only result of a 'no' vote is not even a possible legal outcome because a permit parking
area MUST include the third block as the municipal code makes implicitly clear. These bully tactics when
trying to gather signatures cannot be tolerated and cannot be considered an accurate representation of
I think many council member recently promoted a program to educate against bullying. If they are
aware of this, and still hold a vote on Monday, they are complicit in these types of tactics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLiDOQ4NHr8

No residents should be pestered and subjected to door to door untrue sales tactics when being asked to
sign up for a decision as big as this. Residents deserve to be given an unbiased account of how the law
works and what the outcomes of their vote will be.This message needs to be consistent and unbiased or
else it is a sham.
One resident was told, when being asked to sign, that if permit parking did not pass, that meters.would
instead be installed. The only thing that is consistent when talking with my neighbor's experiences
about the HBDRA's approach is that it was biased and completely unethical.
I intend to follow through with a class action on any vote that allows permit parking from the signatures
turned in by the HBDRA-- Neither of us want that to occur, and it would be a shame for our city to
spend money and your time fighting this action, but we both know that residents shouldn't be subjected
to blatant thug tactics by the HBDRA and these signatures need to be completely invalidated and done
correctly. I have made a proposal to ensure an unbiased and validated vote and would even agree to
raise the funds for postage and awareness and provide it to the city to oversee an accurate count free
from bullying and false information.
It has also come to my attention that the press is aware of this story,they are engaged and actively
prepared to cover the issue.
I know your role is not one to make the ultimate decision and your willingness to speak with me is most
appreciated. Please let the council know that myself and others cannot help but notice their approach
to this issue and how it is possible that there is a correlation to the endorsements and campaign
financing coming from the HBDRA and their willingness to disregard the rights of affected residents to
be considered. If they have alternative motives for continuing to put us on a course to accept the
signatures submitted by the HBDRA and their refusal to acknowledge their responsibility to determine
who else will be impacted and include them in the vote, according to the municipal code, we anxious to
hear them, but no matter what their reasoning for their approach thus far,this vote MUST NOT OCCUR
ON MONDAY.
Thanks,
Dean

Subject: FW: Parking Permit Downtown HB
Attachments: PERMIT PARKING ISSUES.DOCX; page 1.jpg; page 2.jpg,- page 3.jpg
Hi Connie,
Rebecca shared with rne your response to her letter—thanks for being so fast to acknowledge our concerns. |
do have a few follow upquestions.
We would all like a resolution, the downtown task force had several options. Why isit that only the one idea
that everyone agrees will impact everyone downtown would be the first approach attempted? How much
revenue do the parking garages produce after, say 6prn every night? |f the garages were free, | don't see why
bar patrons would choose to park on the streets. |f the revenue is negligible and the lots are empty, couldn't
the downtown bars be required to validate parking passes or pay to rent out the entire structure through
some sort of added tax? How about other ideas like modernizing the structures to make them feel more safe?
In rnY initial post, | was mostly questioning the process used to push through the permit parking and the
council's transparency in this matter. Let me break down my questions more succinctly— I realize that my
letter was quite long with a lot of detail.
1. You stated that no one has contacted you about their signatures being forged. Explain exactly how
that might occur-- since the transportation manager will not share information on who signed, how
would a resident reasonably find out that their forged signature was included? Are you suggesting that
the burden falls not on the persons collecting signatures, but that people who don't want the permits
have to proactively phone in and ask if someone signed on their behalf without their consent? This is
completely unrealistic and \f this is what you are suggesting, itis an embarrassing response. When
asked, the transportation couldn't tell rne how residents could determine if their signatures were real
and had no ideas on how they could be validated given that there is no validation done within the city
and the results are not shared publicly.
2. Since the transportation manager does not even require that the signature match the owner's name, it
may not be forgery, it might be someone who is not authorized signing the document—isn't it
reasonable to try and figure out if the person who signed actually lives at the residence? The city is
going to spend time to put in signs, print permits, charge residents, hire officers to enforce and collect
fines, but it cannot oversee a transparent valid and unbiased process to enact it in the first place?
]. Only residents who live on the affected streets who unanimously voted for this and who stand to gain
everything have been given sufficient notice of this meeting. People who you just stated will be
impacted, YOUR CONSTITUENTS ALSO, have not been notified and their voices will not be heard. Is this
an attempt by someone to stifle opposition to this vote?
1
4. The law states that an impact study MUST be performed. That study has not been performed. This is
seemingly a legal issue that no one, including Jennifer Mcgrath has yet addressed. I believe the law
states that any potentially affected streets must be included BEFORE any vote has been cast. This
would include my street and also streets on the other side of Main Street--people who have no idea
this problem is coming to them.
5. Let's remember that the proponents of this action are the ones who delivered every signature and
there were absolutely NO controls over the gathering process. If lies were told and incorrect
information was used to obtain valid signatures, is that of no concern to you? Doesn't HB deserve a
better process? I can tell you that I was told blatant lies when I was approached on a number of
occasions to be included.
6. This is as important as the upcoming election process to me and my neighbors that it affects. Would
you be open to an election where your opponents were in charge of going door to door and gathering
votes? Isn't that a ridiculous concept that parallels what is happening here? Your upcoming elections
are important to you and the validity of the results maintain credibility in our government— I believe
that something that is important to my neighbors and me deserves the same care and diligence. How
would you respond to your critics if you take a vote on this and pass this with all of the glaring issues
I've presented? Remember, as Bob the transportation manager stated, "This is just how it has always
been done." is not a valid response. We are looking to you all to lead the charge and make sure our
process of law is respected and improved when possible to protect the voice of us all.
The way this has been handled to this point is embarrassing and the fact that you seem to be supporting this
blatant misapplication of law seems misguided to me -- I hope you reconsider your position. It is not too late
to postpone a vote on this and analyze whether this was done correctly and to include the voice and opinions
of those you explicitly stated this would affect, yet failed to include. I thank you for addressing these follow on
questions with the same promptness as your initial response. I just found out about this yesterday and my
neighbors and I have had little time to try and understand how this could happen so quickly without any
notice. In the interest of time— I am cc'ing the rest of the council, Mrs. McGrath and am posting it as an open
letter to the residents of Huntington Beach. I have included the initial post I shared on several online HB
Facebook pages to get others caught up quickly. I welcome responses from all that I've included and would be
happy to setup a call or in person meeting to discuss.
Sincerely,
Dean DiCarlo (1.3 year resident on loth street)

Attn: City Council Members, City Attorney, City Manager,
Apparently Mayor Harper has already pre-determined his vote on this Agenda Item scheduled
for Monday's City Council meeting.
It is our understanding that City Council members are suppose to come to these meetings with an
open mind to hear public comments and discussion.
The permit parking hours are from 1 OPM to 5AM which are the exact hours the beach is closed.
And the coastal zone is excluded from the permit parking program.
Therefore, it would appear that Mayor Harper is falsely characterizing the permit parking
program as a "beach access" issue.
Additionally, that Mayor Harper has posted this on several political Facebook sites would seem
to be an inappropriate use of political influence.
At this point, we are not surprised at Mayor Harper's actions, but that doesn't excuse or justify his
actions one bit.

Will you join me in opposing Item #6 on the Monday City Council
meeting agenda that would impose a parking exclusion zone on 7th,
8th and 9th Street that would stop people from any other part of the
City from parking there during certain times?The movement to create
parking permit districts near the beach is growing and if we don't stop
this here,this is only the beginning. Will those who value beach access
stand against this?

Attn: City Council, City Attorney, City Manager,
On February 26th, 2014 the HBDRA conducted a community meeting of the downtown residents
to discuss Residential Permit Parking.
We invited all residents of 7th thru 12th streets and had 124 residents attend the meeting at the
Roger's Senior Center.
After the meeting we ask for their vote in writing which we received.
The results are as follows:
7th, 8th and 9th street residents voted 74.5% in favor.
loth, 11th and 12th street residents voted 42.9% in favor.
As a result of that vote, the HBDRA moved forward with a Residential Permit Parking District
for 7th, 8th and 9th streets only.
I will have the original voting documents with me at the City Council meeting in case anyone is
interested to see them.
The HBDRA recorded the meeting and it is linked below for your viewing.

Citizen name: Nicholas Mestanas
Description: I oppose Resolution No. 2014-77, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach Establishing Permit Parking District "S" Within the City of
Huntington Beach" prohibiting parking without a permit on the designated streets
between 10 PM and 5 AM, daily.
I question the procedure used to garner the signatures that brought this petition forward.
I question the validity of the signatures. I question the claims that "visiting cars parked
on our residential streets in the downtown area bring more and more vandalism,
urination/defecation, assaults, late night noise, trash, and riots every year." If true how
will moving them a few blocks solve this.
Finally, I am outraged that I as a long tern area resident and 8 year HB resident will be
considered an "outsider" in my own city since I don't live on any of these few numbered
streets.
I strongly urge all of you to reject this misguided resolution. I plan to attend tonight's
council meeting to express my opposition.
Sincerely,
Nick Mestanas

Bear Mr. Stachelski,
Thank you for helping us finalize the parking permit process for 71h-9Th Streets in HB. We voted yes and
are looking forward to less congestion and the ability to park in front of our own house and to not
having to compete with out-of-towners looking for free parking and then leaving a big mess in our
parking area, sidewalk area and front yard.

I would love to come to the meeting and talk about having 24hr parking permits like Sunset
Beach. The parking is the worst from June until late September
or any time the weather heats up inland. We get the same obnoxious crowds as 4th of July and
the US Open. They feel that they are free do and say anything they want to, while parking their
cars and walking to the beach. They conduct themselves as if our neighborhood is their trash
neighborhood that they've come from. I've had guest all summer long and they just shake their
heads and ask my husband and I "how do you guys put up with this". My reply is once summer
is over we have our piece if paradise back to enjoy!
I signed the petition for the permit parking from 10:00 p.m. To 5:00 a.m.. However, ever since
they built the parking structure we haven't really had any issues other than the 4th of July and US
Open and the Street Fair on Tuesday during to summer. All these events attract a trashy crowd!
When it's hot, the beach is free, the events are free and parking in our neighborhoods is free.
What more can these people ask for!
I know that this meeting isn't about 24 hour parking. It seems to me that if people are going to
be there complaining about the evening parking permits that we will never get 24 hr permits.
People from the 5th and 6th street block of 8th street have spoken to me. They told me they feel
that this whole permit thing is heading towards a police governed community.

They also said that's the price we signed up for when we all bought down here. I've mentioned
to them maybe so, but people who come to the beach have changed. As a kid growing up my
family and I were always respectful beach goers. Respect of others and their property has long
been forgotten by the trash that floods our neighborhood. Anymore, we all look the other way
and say nothing to this foul mouthed half dressed groups of people that come from who knows
where. It's really a shame that we only have 8 months at best to enjoy our community.
It feels like a loosing battle. There are many more issues that need to be addressed along with
the parking! Our alleyways are horrible! I have the vacant lot (the women's club that burned
down) directly behind my house to content with. An on going area across the street from my
house of stagnate water the city needs to attend to. Other than just coming out and spraying
chemicals so we aren't bombarded with mosquitoes. These are just a few to mention. I know the
city has many more hot items on their plates as well as do you.
Sorry for my long windy rambling email. I just needed to vent! Thank you for your hard work
and efforts!
Regards,
Mary Lou

Chris and Sue are both HBDRA board members and they care more about the community
than they do about themselves.
All seven of our board members live on Pecan or 6th street in the coastal zone.
Once permit parking for 7th, 8th and 9th is implemented, our parking problems and quality of
life will be worse since we are the first street for late night parking.
I doubt seriously that 1 Oth street will feel much of a difference.
In fact it might even get better - anyone of you can ask me about that on Monday- I would be
happy to explain.

Dear City Council,
We are out of town and are unable to attend Monday's meeting, but please
consider us to be there in spirit. We urge you to support the Downtown Task
Force and the residents of 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets by approving the
Resident Permit Parking District as submitted and recommended by staff.
Please keep in mind that the hours of 10:00 P.M. to 5:00 A.M. do not in any
manner restrict BEACH access since the beach is closed at that time and would
serve only to restrict bar parking in residential neighborhoods while
1
continuing to have bar parking available in the parking structure. We
attended the meetings held a few years ago. . . . .problems Not solved. We
attended the Task Force meetings. . .a few bones thrown to us, but No Meat!
Residential Permit parking is a mutually beneficial solution for all.
Please keep in mind that we do not reside on these streets, nor does our
street qualify for permitted parking. Therefor, this plea is not written for
selfish reasons, but simply due to the fact that we suffer with the same
issues and feel their pain.

Citizen name: Stefan Hanson
Description: Dear City Councilmembers,
Please vote NO on the permit parking downtown proposal that I have learned you will
consider at your October 6, 2014 meeting.
The measure seems limited to 6th 7th 8th and 9th streets going to the NW. I live in the
200 block of 1 Oth street and I know that my family will be very negatively impacted if
the measure is passed. The supporters of this proposed measure suggest that permit
parking up to 9th street will direct downtown bar traffic into the downtown parking
structures. This measure will not do that. Instead, the young people who are the bars
primary patrons will park on IOth, 1 Ith, 12th etc. and walk to downtown. This will just
increase the geographic range of the late nightpublic disturbances and make life more
difficult for those of us who live on streets IOth, 1 Ith, 12th etc. When we purchased our
home, I took good measure of the distance of our street from the downtown and it is
very troubling to see the problems of main street after dark being displaced onto our
street.
As a compromise solution, I suggest that if you are inclined to vote for this measure that
you consider expanding the permit parking to 14th or at least I Ith street. at least from
Walnut to Orange. This would provide a greater incentive for the young bar patrons to
actually use the downtown parking structures - and also would be more likely to
accomplish what the supporters of this measure had intended.
In its current form, this measure just passes one set of neighbors problems onto another
set of neighbors. It does not encourage the use of downtown parking structures by bar
patrons. SUPPLEMENTAL

How long does a city council meeting typically run? I have to get my boys to a troop meeting by 6:45,but I
would really like to speak. I live on 8th street and am a single mom of three. I've had four break ins at night
when my children and I were all asleep; (two by drunk men,the third a deranged homeless woman, the fourth is
unknown, but I lost thousands in electronics and jewelry) multiple instances of inebriated 20 somethings
running into my backyard to defecate in my vegetable garden, have had my children woken up and scared by
the 3 a.m. brawls outside our home, been threatened by vehicle owners who park in front of my driveway when
I have them towed because I can't gain access into my own private parking area. The list goes on and on as you
are well aware. Is there a way I could speak early on in the process in the case the meeting runs long?

Kim, I cannot make the meeting but I will speak on behalf of myself my family and my surrounding neighbors on 8th n
Olive. We have lived in our house for over 13 years and in this time we have watch our daughters grow up, with that
said we have not only had ALL of Halloween decorations stolen, but we have had people jump our fence to pee in our
yard,jump our fence to use our hose, park their cars in our driveway so they can go to the beach, write profanity's along
our sideway, break pieces of our fence off,one man decided he was going to rip one of our baby palm trees out of the
ground. We have had people throw up in front of our house, I can't tell you how much garbage I or my husband have
picked up due to the people throwing it on my grass or leaving it in the street. My parents have parked their
motorhome on the side of house(not blocking anyone's property)and they won't come anymore due to the disrespect
that people have. We have had our cars hit (bumped) by people trying to squeeze into a spot. When they come back
from down town (we call our corner the drunk walk) they are screaming turning their radios up full blast and not
respecting the surrounding home. They go into the church parking lot to use it as a rest room, our adjoining neighbors
have had people pee in their bushes, break into their side fence and do profound things where their daughter has come
home and seen this. The drugs that these people do freely in their cars is just amazing with no respect for the the
children that play in our front yards.
The people that are complaining about us downtowners have no idea what we go through, we have friends that live all
over the downtown ,aka 13th and main Alabama and Adams,that have nowhere nearly as many issues as we do, and for
these people to complain about us having permitted parking is insane, they aren't paying for it we are and it's a choose
that we have, if this mandate goes through I hope and pray that the city and the police dept will follow through with
their side of the deal.
My children have seen more on our corner then they really should be seeing but we choose to live down town but if the
city if finally willing to help us then this is worth the$100 that I might have to pay!

Dear Mayor Harper and Council,
I am writing to oppose Item#6 on the Consent Calendar regarding permit parking for selected streets in the downtown
area.
I will make my remarks tonight regarding specifics, but for now, I would urge you to pull this item for further discussion, if
you don't just kill it tonight.
In your own supporting documents, there is no description of how this plan will be implemented. Parking permits issued to
residents or homeowners and their tenants for a paltry sum of$36 per year? Meters installed on the streets?
There is no report on how this will be monitored or maintained. What will the costs be to implement and enforce this
planned privileged parking?Will the homeowners on those streets alone be asked to pay the freight or will the entire city
of taxpayers be footing the bill for the elite among us?
What exactly will the impact be on adjacent streets without permits?Where is the study that shows that any of the
activities this purports to eliminate will be successful?
And, how in the world was this even put forth without the signatures being verified?
You owe it to the other 193,000 residents of this city to have these answers before going forward.
Thank you,

We have lived here for over nine years and have experienced trash, vomit, vandalism, late
night noise and people sleeping in vehicles. In our time here we have paid over $100, 000
in taxes and believe we deserve better in our neighborhood. With over 82% of the

Dear Bob:
We are downtown residents and we support the permit parking, at least from 10 pm to 5 am on 7th, 8th, and 9th
streets. We consider this to be a fair and efficient solution to the current problem of late night nose,
disturbances, and crime.
Many times my wife and I were awaken at 2-3 am by loud drunken crowds returning from the downtown bars.
There are trash and vomit, drugs, human feces, used birth control devices, disturbances, fights, and in-car sex.
Many times police had to come to restore the order. We have been threatened to be killed and our home burnt if
we contact the police.
In our opinion it would be much healthier if downtown bar patrons parked their cars in the parking structure,
which could be monitored and policed. A small additional cost of parking attendant is well worth the peace and
safety of the tax paying downtown residents; this minimal cost will actually be offset by the savings on constant
police calls and patrolling.
We believe that permit parking will significantly improve image and safety of Huntington Beach downtown
without taking away from the late night life and entertainment.

Subject: Please Vote Yes For Parking Permits On 7th Steet
SPEAK UP! IF YOU SIGNED THE PETITION FOR PERMIT PARKING, YOU WILL NEED TO ATTEND
MONDAY'S CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
The older residential areas such as the numbered streets around the downtown village are plagued by the high
intensity of development where curb space is clearly inadequate for residents due to spillover.
Residential Permit Should Be Required So Established On-site Parking for Beach, Commercial, And Retail
Areas Are Used
Each community in Huntington Beach must decide for itself to what extent curb parking is acceptable and to
what extent permit parking and off-street parking should be required. Interference from outside areas within the
city are unwarranted and have no practical significance. Each Southern California Beach City that has permit
parking should be highlighted at Monday's Council meeting as they have provided the appropriate safety, such
as avoiding riots, for their residents by doing so. In fact, speakers opposing permit parking should be asked to
identify whether they live on the streets applying for permit parking or not.
Another reason is a concern for safety; our streets cluttered with parked cars, are very hazardous and dangerous.
Visiting cars parked on our residential streets in the downtown area bring more and more vandalism,
urination/defecation, assaults, late night noise,trash, and riots every year. There's a pseudo
H.B. author and his organized militia who plan to inundate Monday Night's City Council meeting and oppose
Permit Parking in an attention seeking plan to destroy our homes and further threaten the safety of our families.
----Parking Code Guidance
http•//www mtc ca gov/plannin /g smart growth/parking/6-12/Parking Code Guidance June 2012.pdf
9. Prevent spillover parking impacts in surrounding neighborhoods with residential permit parking zones
Cities can establish residential permit parking zones to prioritize curb space for local residents and/or
businesses, in areas where the availability of parking in surrounding areas is seriously impacted by workers,
transit riders, shoppers, business vehicles, and/or visitors.
The City of Hoboken in New Jersey took this idea of step further: they offer up to $500 in rewards to those who
turn in their residential parking permits, either giving up cars altogether(e.g., using the City's carshare, transit
and biking programs) or otherwise keeping their cars off the street(e.g., by keeping their cars in garages or
driveways). The rewards include transit passes, discounts on car rentals, discounts towards annual costs of being
in the carshare program, a bike helmet and a bike commuter training class a lLeen very
successful in this first test. COMMUNICATION
10. Establish Parking Benefit Districts Meeting Cale:
i
Agenda Item No.
Net revenues collected from on-street parking pricing and permit revenues can be dedicated to funding public
improvements within designated Parking Benefit Districts, ensuring that revenue is used to benefit the blocks
where the money is collected. Berkeley is one city doing this, Pasadena another.
State laws that provide for public parking facility construction, operation and maintenance include the Vehicle
Parking District of 1943, Parking District Law of 1951, and Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of
1989. All of these are in the California Streets and Highways Code. Substantive requirements for assessment
districts were changed significantly with passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, so the City Attorney should be
consulted to determent the best statutory authority to use for creation of parking benefit assessment districts and
statutory restrictions on the potential use of such funds.

Kim, Please add the following addition to my original letter. Thank you.
My young grandchildren often visit me a for a few days, and much to my distress, they
have had to witness unacceptable behavior by individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs
late in the evening.
I can control and monitor what is considered mainstream beach-going behavior during the day,
but when late night brings out the drinkers and the druggers, in front of my home,then my
grandchildren's fun is curtailed, and I have added concerns for their safety, and that they are
witnessing uncivilized behavior, over which I have no control.
I urge a YES vote in favor the Permit Parking Program for 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets.

Subject: Urgent Message to City Council Members
Dear Kim,
Please include this message when you communicate to City Council Members in support of the
Permit Parking Program for 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets.
Dear City Council Members,
i
It was with great relief and appreciation when this Permit Parking Program process was
initiated by concerned residents, and further validated, with over 80%voting in favor
of the Permit Parking Program, nightly after 10:00 p.m.
I have owned this property and resided at 309 9th Street since December, 1987, and
consequently, I have observed this neighborhood adjust to changing challenges throughout
those years. I see the Parking Permit Program as one more adaptation to unfortunate
circumstances, a program that ensures I can continue to feel safe and secure in my home.
I love living at the beach, seeing families and other beach-goers enjoy our beaches provides
me great joy and satisfaction, but these are not typical of those individuals who are causing
serious problems after 10:00 p.m. each night.
For example, several times each year, people will park in front of my home, and instead of
leaving after a day at the beach, continue to stay in their cars all night, continue with loud
raucous behavior, throw their food trash in my yard, then urinate and defecate close by.
I have phoned the police several times each time this occurs, and they are good about
responding, quickly, but I am told since the people are not sleeping when they arrive,
they can do nothing.
On numerous occasions, I have phoned the police reporting people camping in their cars in
front of my home. I have phoned the police several times, starting about 11 p.m....
then after the third police visit around 2 a.m. I have phoned and asked about my complaint:
I am told specifically,that the people in the care were not sleeping when the police arrived,
so the police could do nothing. Obviously, when a police officer knocks on the window of a car,
if the person was sleeping, the knocking would wake them up. It is absurd to think otherwise.
I understand the position of the police,they must abide by guidelines that do not infringe
on the rights of those individuals...but, my rights are being compromised and this Parking Permit
Program will bring me peace of mind, so that I can enjoy my home, safely and in peace.
I am a single 77 year old woman, living alone, and these situations have caused me a great deal
of stress, sometimes monitoring my surroundings all night, experiencing concerns for my safety
and security and not knowing what to expect next.
Then, there are the health and sanitation concerns: would the City Council be willing to fund
Porta-Potties on every corner of our downtown streets? And, even if Porta-Potties were available
...those individuals who are under the influence of alcohol or narcotics are highly unlikely to use
these facilities, as evidenced by various events that brings thousands to events near the pier.
Therefore, I strongly urge City Council to honor and support the overwhelming number of
residents' votes in favor of THE PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM, and vote YES to establish
the PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM for 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Owens

We need to heavily question as a community this group that calls themselves Huntington
Beach Downtown Residents (HBDRA.com) also claims they represent the majority of residents
in Downtown-HB and their ethics and why they come to HB City Council after lying and
misleading and confusing the residents when knocking on the doors to get residents to Go from
Free Parking to regulated Meter Parking then making shady deals with HB City Council
members who agree with them and you know who you are by voting YES on Metered Parking in
the residential zones that should be kept open for the PUBLIC and Residents alike because we all
paid taxes to repair the streets to enjoy Downtown HB with No regulated parking.
Free parking in residential zones is a way of life in old HB Downtown was a big reason why
my parents bought two houses on 1 Oth Street and would never ever consider Newport Beach
because of parking meters in the residential zones.
Now HB wants to turn my hometown HB into another LA, based on lies HBDRA brings to
HB City Council that claim they actually got 8,100 signatures and Bob Stachelski by phone tells
me there is no way to validate the signatures in question. Bob Stachelski your Transportation
Manager is ready to sign off with no accountability to the law. Bob goes on to say this,
"Eyeballing the signatures is the best WE can do and if they don't look the same then they don't
pass as valid signatures. All the signatures are good unless you can prove that they are forged.
This concept of collecting signatures is not legal and I recommend a Class Action Law Suite
against the City Of HB for metered parking in the residential zones including the proposed areas
1
5th to 9th Streets is put in because the City Council waived all Environmental impact studies of
residential streets that would be effected 5th street all the way to Goldenwest Street.
This Huntington Beach Downtown Association that's collecting signatures were told to just get
the signatures without an impact study and Transportation Manager will PASS this to the City
Council Bob Stachelski At best is passing a bias report on Residential Meters with to many
shady hands circulating the signatures
The military uses this method of Separate and Divide to Conquer the battlefield that's what this
homeowner group is doing to our residents who would certainly out Vote the Yes Vote if a
mailer was sent out to every home owner from 5th Street to Goldenwest Street. Grand slamming
this Metered Parking puts the HB City Council in the Hall of Shame. You would never been
elected into office with a plate form like this.

Request type: Comment
Request area: Inquiry to a City Council Member Agenda Item No. 6
Citizen name: Daniel Taylor
Description: Downtown Permit Parking Cannot Legally Pass on Monday.
Whether implementation of a permit parking district on 7th-9th streets downtown is a
good idea or not is immaterial. The fact of the matter is that the proposal did not go
through the proper legal process in order to be put up for a vote.
The city attorney and city transportation manager have both admitted that the signatures
collected by the HBDRA were not verified. The fact that they were hand gathered and
hand delivered by the largest proponent of the program places the validity of the entire
pile in doubt. There are residents ready to state under oath that they were given false
information during the signature gathering process, further invalidating these votes.
The city attorney, the city transportation manager, the HBDRA, and Councilwoman
Boardman herself are all on record as stating that surrounding streets will be negatively
affected by the implementation of this permit parking district, and yet none of the
surrounding streets were included in the district nor were their votes counted in the
survey as is required by law.
Allow me to state this clearly: passage of a permit parking district for 7th-9th Streets
during Monday's city council meeting will be met with a lawsuit against the City of
Huntington Beach.
Here is the code that has been violated.
From Section 10.42 of the Municipal code:
"***Upon receipt and verification of the petition**** signed by persons owning or
occupying dwelling units comprising not less than sixty-seven percent(67%) of the
developed frontage of the street proposed for designation, the Director shall undertake
such surveys or studies as are deemed necessary to determine whether a street should be
designated as a residential parking district. (3394-7/98, 3815-11/08, 3936-5/12)"
"The proposed parking district shall consider surrounding streets that could be affected
if the requested street becomes a permit parking district. If it is determined that the
surrounding streets will be affected said streets shall be included as part of the proposed
permit parking district. The residents of the streets proposed for addition to the district
shall be notified and their responses counted and included in the calculations of Section
1
I above. (3394-7/98)"
Here's the full text of Section 10.42 of the code:

Subject: Legality Issue of Permit Parking Downtown
am writing concerning the proposed permit parking area downtown that will be presented to Council tonight.
My husband and I purchased a house less than 10 months ago on 12th St., intentionally and specifically well away from
the Main St bar scene, and we paid top dollar for it. We bided our time for*2 years* until the right house outside of that
area came on the market. You can imagine our shock when not even two months later we received a notice that permit
parking was not only coming to our street but the map handed out at the meeting showed that our house would be the
Ground Zero of where it ends. Not one time during our purchase process was this disclosed to us and you can be sure we
would never had bought this house had it been. Should this pass, I will personally contact every realtor listing a downtown
home to ask if they're disclosing this to potential buyers. I will also be checking to see if there are any legal ramifications
available in my case and the case of every other resident who bought during this time period and have now been
negatively impacted by the city's arbitrary solution to a Main St crime problem.
It is a disgrace that people who knowingly and intentionally bought homes on the streets impacted by the bars can now
push their problem onto neighbors who knowingly and intentionally didn't. Main St and its associated problems, which
have been present for decades, snuck up on exactly no one. There is not one homeowner on any of those streets who
didn't know where Main St was; in fact, it could probably be argued that many bought those homes because of their close
proximity to Main St. It was bad enough when Council members voted to look into legalizing short-term rentals in order to
cash in on occupancy tax after we bought in the area but to now add allowing this permit parking district to encroach on
neighborhoods outside of the problem area has taken our investment and ground it into the dirt. We thought we were
buying in a more peaceful area of downtown and instead have discovered we're likely to be surrounded not only by
weekend/weekly rentals but now, on the whim of a handful of people who regret their choice of purchase location, we may
also be surrounded by the same rowdy bar patrons we wanted so desperately and paid mightily to avoid. Attendees,
including me, at the February parking meeting, all who lived within the originally proposed area, were overwhelmingly
against the establishment of this parking permit district. The video of this meeting is available to you all to view.
To approve this new downtown parking permit area will be against the intention of the ability to make permit parking
districts in the first place. This issue, as was repeatedly stated at the meeting, is not a parking problem but a noise
problem. Your decision tonight will impact far more than the few short-sighted people who bought homes in existing
problem areas of our city and now regret it; your decision will impact the several thousand who didn't. If approved, you will
see the impact of that in November. The importance of this issue to those who will be negatively affected cannot be
overstated.
To add further salt into the wound, we are now being referred to as elitists who don't want the little people parking on our
streets.
It is time to stop making everyone pay for the personal mistakes others make. Please, for the good of*all*your
constituents, vote against this.
Thank you for your consideration of this issue, whose tentacles will reach far and wide.

Citizen name: Janice Ugland
Description: Dear Council, City Attorney Jennifer McGrath and Transportation Manager Bob
Stachelski:
I hope you each had an enjoyable weekend. This is in reference to the parking permit
agenda item that you will take into consideration tomorrow night. I'll try not to be
lengthy as I realize you have exhaustive schedules -- it's not going to be easy.
I'm entirely against permit parking in our downtown. It's the hub,heart and pulse of the
community and belongs to all of us, freely. A few points I have are bulleted below:
- Streets beyond those targeted will be impacted and have not been taken into
consideration through an Impact Study per municipal code. In actuality, the whole city
will be impacted.
- When you're considering to impede upon the lifestyles of taxpayers; I'd appreciate
petition verification other than scanning to see whether signatures "appear the same."
Picture ID and utility bill for vetting.
- HBDRA parking permit meeting video shows in no uncertain terms Mr. Kramer
placing residents under duress if they don't go along with the plan. It's alarming. It's
polarizing.
- Ms. McGrath appearing at the meeting mentioned above and introduced as our city
attorney was completely inappropriate. It was brought up by Mr. Kramer during her
introduction that "sometimes you have questions." That meeting was not inline with an
official appearance.
Lastly and specifically, I'd like to address Jill Hardy and Connie Boardman. Both of you
are teachers, please consider this; HBCF (Huntington Beach Community Forum; nearing
4,500 members) on Facebook has active high school and college students engaging in
dialog, debate and education. It's refreshing and I really hope you take that to heart in
your leadership decision tomorrow night. Thanks to each of you for your time.

Kim,thank you for the update. Cathy and I won't be in town until the 27th but we want to give you our proxy to use our
names at the council meeting.
Next to our home on 8th Street we have had:
1. Weekly broken beer and liquor bottles in our lawn, flower beds and front porch and behind our garage in the
alley.
2. Drunken fights and loud yelling and screaming after the bars close to the point of scaring my wife and guests.
3. If these people are asked to tone it down we are threatened.
4. Sexual and drug related activities in parked cars next to our home.
5. Defecation by drunks after hours on our home and in our lawn after the bars close.
6. Motor homes parked for days next to our home using our garbage and doing drugs and defecating next to our
home. Creating a scene and noise after bar closing.The HB police have been very good at taking care of this
problem once notified. For the most part,these people are derelicts and could be dangerous.
7. My wall on Orange has been graffitied (tagged) and vandalized (always after hours). We have never had a run in
with any of these people, it is just being done by drunks after hours.
8. Pots and flowers stolen off out of our front patio and broken in the streets or thrown against our wall.
9. All of these actions are ongoing and a direct result of the ability of these people to get high in their cars (parked
next to our home) and then go to the bars without needing to park at the town garages provided.Then get
totally obnoxious at 2 or 3 in the morning and come back to their cars knowing that the HB police don't have the
resources to follow them and check on their levels of sobriety before they take off, as compared to getting them
off of our streets and forcing them to park in town where they can be observed by the police if they are too
drunk high or belligerent.
My question is"why would any neighbor that lives in the downtown area be against this?" "Why would a neighbor not
want to stand up for their neighbors that are being put into potential harms way by these drunken vandals? It just
doesn't make sense to me! Most of the other beach towns have enacted similar actions to reduce the problems caused
by these out of town people, but instead of everyone in the town rising up to take back their town and make it peaceful
and safe for our wives,girlfriends, and children, these few people choose to take an apposing view. What will it take?A
child being attacked, a wife being raped, a teenager being mugged, a home being broken into and people threatened or
hurt?
This is such a small thing to do and doesn't hurt any of the downtown business but can help my wife and I (and so many
other downtown residents)feel safe in our homes and on our streets.
1
Please pass this resolution to put the word out that Huntington Beach is a friendly beach town and we want people to
enjoy it as they have for years, BUT when they come to our town to enjoy we also demand that they show both the
town and the people who live here the respect that HB deserves or don't come back!

Hi Kim
We will be out of town next week. Most of this has happened to our home except the tagging and the broken pots—
thank God.
I would add car damage due to non residents coming into the area and trying to fit a Suburban size car into a Toyota
sized space. When you ask them nicely to please stop as they are damaging not only your car but other cars they are
mean, nasty and threatening. It has gotten to the point that we park blocks(6—8) away and apologize to the residents
there to avoid damage to our cars.

Hello Ms. Arbach,
I chaired the downtown task force and a recurring issue that came up was the impacts ofthe late night bar patrons on
residents. For about six months we met twice a month to listen to residents and discuss solutions tothe issues they
raised. The task force found that residential parking districts for the streets near Main where our late night bar scene
happens is a reasonable way to reduce the impacts of the bar patrons on our residents. If the council approves the
district, permits will be required to park on the streets from 10 PM to 5 AM. The flyer you attached that states the goal
would be to get bar patrons to parkin our parking structures is accurate. We have recently done a parking study that
shows during the time of night the permit parking would be required there are over4OU parking spots available in the
structures.
The residents on 7th 8th and 9th used an existing city process and if the residents of 10th, 11th or 13th, or other streets
find that their impacts have been made worse by the districts on 7th 8th and 9th they can also follow the process to
gather signatures and establish parking districts as well to mitigate the impacts of the bar patrons.
I have not heard from any residents on 7th 8th or9th claiming their signatures were forged on these petitions or that
they never signed them in the first place. The city requires only 6796 of the residents to sign and I believe the petition
gatherers have secured signatures from about 8096 of the residents.
Sincerely,
Connie Boardman

Agenda Item No. o
10.42.030 Designation Process and Criteria
A. Petition of Residents. The director is authorized to establish districts upon the following criteria:
1. Upon receipt of a written request for a permit parking district, the director shall create a petition
with all the addresses of the affected properties. The petition shall be circulated by the requesting
party to obtain the signatures, phone numbers, and any other data requested by the director of the
residents of the affected properties. A letter shall be sent to all the affected properties notifying the
residents that a permit parking district is being considered.
Upon receipt and verification of the petition signed by persons owning or occupying dwelling units
comprising not less than 67% of the developed frontage of the street proposed for designation, the
director shall undertake such surveys or studies as are deemed necessary to determine whether a street
should be designated as a residential parking district.
2. Findings of Need and Necessity. If the director finds that on-street parking on a street is
substantially reduced or impaired by commuter vehicles for an extended period, the director may
recommend to the City Council that the street be designated as a residential parking district. The
proposed parking district shall consider surrounding streets that could be affected if the requested
street becomes a permit parking district. If it is determined that the surrounding streets will be
affected said streets shall be included as part of the proposed per parking district. The residents of
the streets proposed for addition to the district shall be notified and their responses counted and
included in the calculations of subsection (A)(1) of this section.
B. Factors to Be Considered. In determining whether a street identified as eligible for designation as a
residential parking area may be so designated, the director shall consider factors and criteria that include,
but are not limited to, the following:
1. The extent to which the residents desire and need permit parking and their willingness to bear the
administrative and all permit costs in connection therewith.
2. The extent to which legal on-street parking spaces are not available for the use of residents and
their guests because they are occupied by commuter vehicles.
1
3. Whether other regulatory measures would better solve the problem, e.g., parking restrictions and
strict enforcement of such restrictions. (2619-1/84, 3394-7/98, 3815-11/08, 3936-5/12)

Subject: Residential Parking Permit District Request
Dear Dave,
Thank you for being a longtime proponent of the citizens of Huntington Beach.
Although the Department of Public Works received a circulated petition with signature from 366 of 453 residents, I
believe this was fraudulently obtained akin to identity theft.
The reason I believe this to be fraud:
(1) None of my neighbors or I have been asked to sign or not sign a parking petition.
(2) Last year the Huntington Beach Downtown Residents organization set up a mandatory meeting at the Downtown
Art Center if you wanted to voice your opinion and find out information regarding a proposal for residential
parking permits. When the residents went to the Art Center, they were told that the Fire Marshall had shut down
the meeting prior to the meeting because there were going to be too many people and the Art Center could only
hold a maximum of 80 people.
The residents were asked to sign their name, address, and email in order to be contacted for the
rescheduled meeting.
Although, this list was used to contact individuals regarding the rescheduled meeting, I believe that this list was obtained
and used without the consent of the residents for the parking petition.
If you believe that this petition was given with the residents'consent, then please verify by having an independent person
or city council member, contact each name on the list to verify that they signed this petition in favor of the parking
permits.

To the City Council Members of Huntington Beach CA,
As a resident of Huntington Beach and an attendee at City Council meeting Oct 6, 2014,
I am motivated to contact you.
I refrained from participating as a speaker in an attempt to unbiasedly view the
proceedings. It is unfortunate that many of the council members did not.
Let me assure you, the people in that room who opposed the permit parking on 7th-8th
and 9th streets did so out of a love and concern for this city. Many of us knew before
entering the meeting that the vote was going to be 4-3 in favor, and yet took time away
from families to stand before you and present case after case of why you should not at
this time vote to pass You did not listen you tolerated.
You do not represent the City of Huntington Beach you represent your own special
interests and pander to those you believe will help you succeed in those endeavors. How
many of the 19 parking districts in HB had as much resistance from nearby residents?
You owed those citizens at the very least a postponement of the vote.
I cannot believe that you heard one word anyone other than HBDRA spoke. After 80
speakers a reasonable mind would have come to the conclusion there is more to be done
for our downtown residents than to slap a no parking sign outside their homes.
Joe Shaw you are the most culpable of all....How dare you praise one side of the debate
while ostensibly chiding the opposition. Shameful.
In all my years of voting I pride myself in always voting FOR a candidate and not voting
purely against another. This year I make the case to all who will listen...2014 NO
INCUMBENTS.
