Herbel, PE, Acting Director of Public Works Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-46 establishing Permit Parking District "Y" affecting residents on Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive Statement of Issue: Residents on Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive have petitioned the City to establish a residential permit parking district, Permit Parking District "Y" 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 or amend the district making the district cost neutral to the City. Typical costs include, but are not limited to, installation of signs, curb markings, which are initially funded in the General Fund Signs and Marking business unit 10085302, and staff time to issue permits, which are funded in the General Fund Transportation Management business unit 10085301. The total cost for this parking district is estimated at $850 or $47 per address. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-46, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Establishing Permit Parking District "Y" Within the City of Huntington Beach." Alternative Action(s): Deny the recommended action. Public Works Commission Action: None required. Analysis: Residents on Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive submitted a petition requesting permit parking due to commuter vehicle parking impacts and other associated issues. The area is located north of Slater Avenue east of Beach Boulevard and is shown on Attachment 1. The requesting residents expressed that these concerns occur daily preventing the use of on-street parking for themselves and guests. In addition to the parking impacts, other specific issues include City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 7/10/2019 powered by Leaistar-" File #: 19-731 MEETING DATE: 7/15/2019 moving of trash bins on collection day to create parking areas, parking too close to driveways, and late night noise. The requested permit parking restrictions are midnight to 6 am, every day, including holidays. Following procedures in Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, Permit Parking Districts, staff validated the petition, determined the concerns of the residents require further consideration, and examined the proposed boundaries. Due to the potential parking issues moving to nearby areas, staff expanded the proposed permit parking district area to include Marken Lane between Holland Drive and Friesland Drive, and Holland Drive between Marken Lane and Waal Circle. Ballots were sent to the affected addresses to vote on the proposal. Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires a minimum of 75% of the property units to be favor of the parking district to move the request for further consideration. Residents on Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive (petitioned street) voted 83% in support of permit parking. Residents in the expanded area (Marken Lane between Holland Drive and Friesland Drive, and Holland Drive between Marken Lane and Waal Circle) received a total of 19% in support of permit parking. Due to the low interest for permit parking in the expanded area it was removed from consideration for permit parking. The requested permit parking district is the original petitioned street, properties fronting Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive and is shown on Attachment #2. As required by code, staff investigated the conditions on Marken Lane 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 between the late evening and early morning hours, and on the weekends. Although the noise and trash bin moving issues were not observed by staff, these concerns were mentioned by several of the residents. Due to the observed parking conditions and discussions with the residents, staff believes findings can be made showing that commuter vehicle parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of available on-street parking for residents and their guests, and causes other related disturbances. These findings are consistent with requirements of the Municipal Code as a basis for establishing permit parking. The number of addresses that would comprise the permit parking district is eighteen (18). 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. Public Works Commission Action: None required. Environmental Status: The project is categorically exempt from CEQA. Strategic Plan Goal: Enhance and maintain infrastructure. Attachments: 1.

Requested Permit Parking District on Marken Lane. Marken Lane Permit Parking Request Summary Public Works staff received a petition from residents on Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive requesting permit parking be established on the street. The reasons for the request are concerns with the availability of on-street parking for residents and their guests, cars parking in front of 2 1 P a g e driveways, moving trash bins to uncollectable areas to obtain additional on-street parking, and late night noise from commuter vehicle parking on the street. 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 requested boundaries were examined and a determination was made by staff to include properties on Marken Lane north of Holland Drive, and Holland drive from Marken Lane to Waal Circle to vote on the proposal. These streets may be impacted should parking restrictions be implemented on the first block of Marken Lane and gives an opportunity for these residents to be included in the parking district should interest exist. The code allows staff to modify the boundaries of the proposed parking district and to send notices to the additional residents as if included with the initial request.

Permit Parking Voting Results. 4 Page Properties along Marken Lane between Slater Avenue and Holland Drive voted 83% in favor of the request, while Marken Lane between Holland Drive and and Friesland Drive voted 19% in support of permit parking. Holland Drive between Marken Lane and Waal Circle received no votes (0%) in support of permit parking. The Municipal Code requires a minimum of 75% of support for the permit parking district request to move forward for further consideration. Since the first block of Marken Lane was the only street section meeting the 75% support criteria with the other streets demonstrating minimal or no interest in permit parking, the proposed permit parking district request was determined to be Marken Lane from Slater Avenue to Holland Drive (the original request). Field survey of parking conditions: As part of the process for evaluating a residential permit parking district request, staff conducted field investigations of the area to examine the on-street conditions on Marken Lane. The following summarizes parking conditions from field reviews of the street. The days and times of the survey were based on suggestions from the residents. Field Survey 1: Wednesday, 6:30 am Marken Lane No. Parked Parking Percent (Slater Av to Holland Dr) Vehicles Capacity Occupancy East Side 10 15 67% West Side 9 14 64% Field Survey 2: Sunday, 7:00 am Marken Lane No. Parked Parking Percent (Slater Av to Holland Dr) Vehicles Capacity Occupancy East Side 14 15 93% West Side 13 14 93% Field Survey 3: Tuesday, 9:00 pm Marken Lane No. Parked Parking Percent (Slater Av to Holland Dr) Vehicles Capacity Occupancy East Side 12 15 80% West Side 11 14 79% 5 Page Field Survey 4: Thursday, 5:00 pm Marken Lane No. Parked Parking Percent (Slater Av to Holland Dr) Vehicles Capacity Occupancy East Side 6 15 40% West Side 6 14 73% 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. Staff observed parking impacts during the late evening and early morning, consistent with discussions with Marken Lane residents. Another parking issue voiced by residents was vehicles parking in front of driveways even for brief periods of time. Although this condition was not observed by staff from the field visits, a few residents voiced their concern about this issue. The requested parking restriction times are midnight to 6 am which is consistent with the peak commuter vehicle demand periods, with on-street parking generally available and not impacted during regular working hours. Additionally, discussions with the residents regarding the commuter vehicle parking disturbances included issues with trash bins, late night noise, and littering. The residents complained about commuter vehicle occupants moving trash bins to uncollectable locations or parking too close to the bins to prevent them from being emptied on trash day. Although staff did not notice these disturbances on one observed trash collection day, the issue was repeated by discussions with several residents. Additionally, staff did not notice noise disturbances during the field visits, but the issue was repeated by several Marken Lane residents. One resident spoke of littering and trash on the street though not observed by staff during the field surveys. Photos of on-street conditions on Marken Lane are shown on the Page 7. Staff Recommendation: Based on the field observations and discussions with residents, staff is recommending establishing permit parking along Marken Lane from Slater Avenue to Holland Drive from midnight to 6 am every day, including holidays. Staff's opinion is that criteria specified in Municipal Code 10.42 has been met 6 1 P a g e for creating a new permit parking district for City Council consideration. The number of affected properties is eighteen (18). Photo 1. Typical On-Street Impacted Parking on Marken Lane after 7:00 P.M. Photo 2.

We as taxpayers already contribute (by law) to parking at the beach as well as higher taxes. PLEASE allow people to park on public streets without restrictions or permits! Midnight to 6 a.m. is often when people might need to leave their car where they parked it due to having bonfires at the beach or maybe due to drinking. We can keep our streets safer by not forcing people who may have had a drink or two to get in their cars and drive due to an unnecessary permit area. It's another form of control of our public streets that should not be allowed. We must start being willing to share our space with others. People come to this area to enjoy the great restaurants as well as the beautiful beach. People should not have to worry about moving their cars if they're here contributing to the local economy. These are PUBLIC streets and the WHOLE public should be able to use them. Thank you for your time.

I am against permit parking on only one section of Marken Lane between Slater Ave and Holland Drive. I was confused as to where the city thinks the offenders would park if they did not have a permit. They would probably move to other parts of the neighborhood that don't require permits. I feel if you permit one part of the neighborhood you should permit all the neighborhood.

I live on the corner of Slater and Van Buren Lane, and when we first moved in there was plenty of parking off Slater Ave. That was later changed to build a sidewalk,which leaves us to park strictly on Van Buren Lane. I noticed that we got the letter concerning Permit Parking on Marken Lane, and I am all for it. However, that will have a huge effect on parking situation across the street on Van Buren Lane.As of right now, the parking situation is atrocious. The neighbors are very, for lack of a better word, annoying. Everyone that lives around this area has multiple vehicles, more than 4 usually. And as you can see from the pictures I have attached, people here think its better to leave huge gaps between parking spaces making it difficult to find parking. This isn't just on Van Buren Lane, this is all around that entire area. Van Buren Lane, Michael Drive, Opal Circle, and Jefferson Lane. Marken Lane is sometimes the only place some of us can park when coming home late, so when I read this letter I feared that I would no longer be able to park my car on Marken Lane and then walk across the street to my house. People on Michael Drive have already started making it clear that they do not appreciate us parking in front of their homes, even though it is perfectly legal to do so. I have had multiple confrontations with the surrounding neighbors about such issue. So sometimes its best to park on Marken Lane, but the people around their don't appreciate that either. I would like to suggest that you make the surrounding neighborhood streets permit parking only as well, or at least come paint parking space lines on streets mentioned earlier. The surrounding streets are mostly filled with vehicles that are owned but hardly ever move because people own too many cars and only use one. I have reported vehicles for not moving for weeks at a time. I would like to Thank You for your time. Sincerely, Issac Sanchez P.S.-There are fire lanes without proper markings, e.g. red paint, if anyone could come paint those too that would be nice. I am tired of getting sited because it is impossible to tell how close we are allowed to park near them. Even though one leaves a reasonable amount of space, which in turn ends up not being enough I guess.

Our community and I would like to thank you for accepting our petition and helping us along the process. In the past years,our community observed that street parking issue has been getting worse and worse. More and more "commuter" vehicles from outside this area are parking in this district caused a lot of issues, most of them are: 1. Reduces parking space for resident and their visitors 2. Noise in the midnight as more "commuter" vehicles arriving after midnight, with loud music and exhaust 3. Frequently, garbage collection blocked by those vehicles parked next to it, and garbage can got hit by those vehicles caused damage 4. More trash on the street and sidewalk 5. Jacked up pick-ups and SUVs park at the edge of driveway exit, blocking the sight of driver who are backing up vehicles out of driveway, creates safety issue for residents 6. Drug dealing close to the intersection of Marken Lane and Holland Drive 7. Store vehicles, some commuter vehicles parked on the street for server days without moving. Recently, we had one disabled car parked on the street for more than 17 days,even after getting two street swiping parking tickets 8. Crimes, several houses got broken into (or attempted) a while back, the recent one is this: https://www.facebook.com/HuntingtonBeachPolice/i)osts/1742552419122649 SUPPLEMENTAL TAL Again,we really appreciate the time and effort City Officials/Staffs put into.
