Financial Impact: The regulations of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 (Permit Parking Districts) require 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, fabrication and 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 $825, or $55 per address. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2020-18, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Establishing Permit Parking District `Z' Within the City of Huntington Beach." Alternative Action(s): Do not adopt Resolution No. 2020-18, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Residents along the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Sabot Lane, as well as Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive. have petitioned the City requesting a permit parking district be created, due to commuter vehicle parking impacts and related issues. The neighborhood is located on the north side of Heil Avenue between Goldenwest Street and Gothard City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/10/2020 powered Legistarl- File #: 20-1504 MEETING DATE: 6/15/2020 Street, as shown in Attachment#2. Including the commuter vehicle parking impacts, residents expressed their concerns with associated issues of late-night noise, littering, parking too close to driveways, and finding curbside areas to place trash bins on the street on collection day. The requested permit parking restrictions are 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 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 merit further consideration, and considered the proposed area to be reasonable. Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district proposal. As stated in Chapter 10.42, a minimum of 75% of the property units must vote in favor of the parking district to move the request forward for further consideration. The voting results met the minimum criteria initiating the evaluation of the conditions on the requested permit parking area. Following the procedures outlined in Chapter 10.42, staff investigated the conditions 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 on the weekend. Although noise and trash bin moving issues were not observed by staff, these concerns were mentioned by several of the residents as frequent commuter vehicle parking related issues. Due to these conditions, staff determined that the unrestricted parking creates situations where the commuter vehicle parking regularly interferes with residents and their guest parking, and creates other concerns for the residents. Prior to the original date when the City Council was set to consider the permit parking district request, notifications were sent to the surrounding area. As a result of these notifications, several residents on nearby streets expressed interest in being included in the permit parking district, and one resident communicated changing their original vote. In response to these comments, staff re-balloted the area, which included the Heil Avenue frontage road, Sabot Lane, and Sunlight Drive. The results showed the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Sabot Lane, and Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive, both met the voting requirement to request establishing permit parking on those streets. Based on the voting results, field surveys, and discussions with residents, staff believes findings can be made demonstrating that commuter vehicle parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of available on-street parking for residents and 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 affected addresses that would comprise the permit parking district is 15 addresses, as shown in Attachment#3. Notices were sent to the affected properties, as well as properties within 500 feet of the proposed district boundaries, indicating the date and time of the City Council meeting.

The requested parking restrictions are 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, including holidays. Including the commuter vehicle parking impacts, residents expressed their concerns with associated issues of late night noise, littering, parking too close to driveways, and finding areas for placing trash bins on the street on the collection day as the reasons for initiating the process to establish permit parking on their street. As required by Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, staff reviewed the request, determined the petition and concerns of the residents were valid, and considered the proposed area to be reasonable. Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district request. 2_L.P a g e 100 Per Municipal Code 10.42 a minimum of 75% of the property units (1 vote per unit) shall be in favor of establishing permit parking to move the request for further consideration. Of the 19 affected properties, 18 ballots were returned with 15 votes in favor of permit parking (83%) and three votes not supporting permit parking. The 75% minimum support requirement was satisfied to continue the evaluation. Table 1 summarizes the voting results of the original Heil Avenue frontage road permit parking district request.

Voting Summary of Permit Parking District Original Request As required by code staff investigated the parking conditions and related issues on the proposed permit parking street. The code requires that facts exist that reasonably establish that unrestricted parking creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot be used for regular parking by residents or their guests, or creates a situation that commuter vehicles or their occupants produce significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns to continue the process for further consideration. Below summarizes the field surveys of the parking conditions in the originally requested permit parking area.

The most impacted field observation occurred on the weekend where a majority of the available on- street parking was occupied by commuter vehicles. These parking impacts could affect the availability of on-street parking for the residents and their guests. In addition to the parking impacts, the residents expressed concerns with trash left on the street and front yards, and late night noise attributed to the commuter vehicle parking. Although staff observations of the area did not witness occurrences of trash on the street or noise, these concerns were expressed by many of the residents as recurring commuter vehicle parking issues. Municipal Code 10.42 requires that specific conditions shall exist for a parking district request to move forward for consideration to the City Manager's office. These include: unrestricted parking creates a situation where on-street parking cannot be regularly used by residents and guests; or, unrestricted parking by commuter vehicles produces significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns. Based on the field evaluations and discussions with the residents, staff determined that the unrestricted parking creates a situation where the commuter vehicle parking regularly interferes with residents and their guests parking, and produces significant sources of welfare concerns, and recommended establishing the permit parking district. Revised Voting Results: Prior to the original request being considered by City Council, staff mailed notifications to properties within a minimum of 500 foot radius of the proposed permit parking district area. Staff received several responses from residents in the neighborhood supporting and opposing the permit parking district request. In addition to receiving responses from residents outside the parking district area, staff was contacted by a resident within the proposed parking district who communicated the desire to change their vote from "YES" to "NO". Due to this change, the original permit parking district area no longer met the minimum 75% support requirement, however, the west section of the Heil Avenue frontage road still qualified with a minimum of 75% voting in favor of the request. The revised voting results for the west and east section of the Heil Avenue frontage road based on the one vote change is shown on Table 2 and Figure 2. 5 1 P a g e 103 PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT REQUEST REVISED VOTING RESULTS HEIL AVE FRONTAGE NUMBER OF PERCENT IN SUPPORT OF ROAD SECTION PROPERTIES PERMIT PARKING WEST SECTION . 12 75% EAST SECTION 7 71% Table 2.

Staff received comments from the residents on Sabot Lane and Sunlight Drive expressing interest in joining the Heil Avenue frontage road for permit parking, prompting staff to re-ballot the area to determine if these streets would qualify to be included in a new permit parking district. The voting results showed the west section of Heil Avenue frontage road and Sabot Lane between Heil Avenue and Sunlight Drive qualified to be considered for permit parking.

I live on the Frontage Road East of Sabot Lane which is not covered by this Resolution. Therefore my section of Heil will have all the overflow parking in front of my house plus the 6 other homes East of Sabot Lane. The Resolution should have covered the complete length of the Heil Frontage road. Do not pass this resolution as written. I have attached a letter that I sent to Bob Stachelski in the Public works Department that gives more detail.

I have sent a copy of all Correspondence we've had from Bob Stachelski. We thought the prior vote was for the entire St between Goldenwest St and Gothard St. We were un aware that he separated the streets when we recast our votes the second time. We have been put in a position to participate in the permit parking as if we vote no the east side of Heil Avenue will be burdened with the overflow of cars from the west side of Heil Avenue. Originally our goal was to have Heil Avenue re-done as it is now turned into Beach Boulevard. We have problems with emissions pollution safety and now with the addition of the dedicated left turn lane that's going up on Goldenwest Street and Heil Avenue will only exacerbate the problem. I would also like to ask that when this matter is reviewed and voted for that we set aside a special fund for a beautification project on Heil Avenue. In other words the money that the homeowners who are taxpayers pay& the money from the tickets on the street be dedicated to a beautification fund for our street.Seeing as Heil Ave is now turned into Beach Blvd. Thank you, Lisa Simington file:///C:/Users/mooretalAppData/Local/MicrosoftANindows/lNetCache/Content.Outlook/86MUPSXB/ATT00001 (003).htm 1/1 City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street ♦ PO Box 190 ♦ CA 92648 Travis K.

Hopkins, PE Department of Public Works Director (714)536-5431 December 18, 2019 Subject: Proposed Residential Pen-nit Parking District on Heil Avenue Frontage Road Dear Huntington Beach Resident: Earlier this year, the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department received a request to create a new residential permit parking district along the Heil Avenue frontage road between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street. The request was to be considered at the October 7, 2019 City Council Meeting but was withdrawn by staff in response to input from residents of the affected addresses and neighborhood prior to the scheduled meeting. The review was prompted by one resident who notified the City that they wished to change their vote from being in favor of the district to being opposed, significantly altering the narrow results for the east end of the cul-de- sac. After reexamining the request in light of the revised voting, which included reviewing permit parking voting results from earlier in the year, the proposed permit parking area was modified to reflect those areas that met the required support. Please refer to Figure 1 on the second sheet back side illustrating the new proposed permit parking area: • West section of Heil Avenue frontage road (west of Sabot Lane) between Goldenwest Street and Gothard Street Please note that street sections can be included only if a street votes a minimum of 75% in support of permit parking. Due to this change, staff enclosed a second ballot to residents in the area to vote on this proposal. The second ballot is to affirm whether you support or do not support the permit parking request for those who have voted earlier this year, and to provide the opportunity for nearby addresses shown on Figure 1 to participate should sufficient support exist,with the knowledge that the west section of the frontage road appears likely to meet the required 75% support. It is our intent to recount all votes as part of this process to ensure an accurate review. This means that you must resubmit a ballot indicating your preference. Prior votes will not be considered. The proposed parking restriction time is 6:00 pm to 6:00 am daily, including holidays. Please indicate whether you do or do not support the establishment of the parking district by completing and returning the ballot in the provided envelope by January 24,2020. Heil Avenue Frontage Road Resident December 18, 2019 Page Two Residential Permit Parking fees are currently $24.00 for the first permit and $10.00 for each additional permit up to a total of four. Each household purchasing permits.will be issued two guest permits at no charge. Permits are valid for up to five(5)years. Additionally, a one-time setup fee estimated to be between$50 to$60 is charged for each household for the costs associated with implementing the permit parking district. Occupants are not required to purchase a parking permit if they do not plan to park on the street during the restricted times. The Huntington Beach Police Department or Parking Control can cite any vehicle parking in a residential permit parking district that is not displaying a parking permit for that district during the restricted time. You are encouraged to read the residential permit parking ordinance (MC 10.42) which can be obtained from the City Clerk's Office at 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach or from the City of Huntington Beach web site http://vti�,",.huntin tonbeachea.,;ov/.

Letter dated June 1, 2020, Proposed Residential Permit Parking Upon receipt of Robert Stachelski,Transportation Manager's letter received on June 6, 2020, 1 was perplexed as to the sense of urgency to schedule this matter for the June 15th City Council meeting. Due to the current seriousness of a corona virus pandemic, it would be in very poor judgment to conduct business on this non-urgent matter. When I received Mr. Stachelski letter I immediately called him and inquired as to the urgency. He stated to me the Heil Ave. homeowners have been waiting for over a year on this issue. Please, both sides of this public parking matter needs to be fully considered. The residents impacted by a proposed change in public parking would like to attend a public meeting and voice their concerns to the City Council members in less restrained health conditions. However, some folks will attend the City Council meeting on June 15th. I do understand approximately 12 residential homeowners on Heil Ave. would like the public parking for their own use. My observation is the homes all have a two (2) car garages as well as their parking driveways. And, one of the homes does has a three (3)car garage and driveway. This proposed public parking change would give the homeowners additional parking and parking for their guests. I don't have control who parks in front of my home and few people do as it is public. The Covington four-plexes across the street from the residential houses on Heil Ave. were built in 1968/1969, and they have been a residential rental community for all of these years. Some years ago the City took away the street parking on Goldenwest St., causing all the residents of the Covington four-plexes on Goldenwest St. to move their motor vehicles inward to the alleys and to the next street, Bartlett Lane creating a parking nightmare. The residents occupying the Covington four-plexes, some long-term and hard working families would love to be the proud owners of a Huntington Beach house but circumstances don't permit them from having the luxury of home ownership. The above-mentioned public parking on Heil Ave. has been valuable for some tenants because they work late at night and when they arrive to their apt. there is no parking is available. Their jobs in the restaurant, food service business, home service industry often requires them to close up the business at night. Also, in normal times, no pandemic we have night school students that can only go to school at night due to their day jobs and parking is a real issue. We are once again reminded of the"essential service" provided by hard-working Americans, many are tenants in our community. There should not be any discrimination between homeowners and tenants. They are all people attempting to make a decent living and raise their children. In keeping the current public parking on Heil Ave.for all is the best most fair and the decent thing to do. Thank you for your understanding. Respectfully submitted. Bonnie Cayer From: Fikes.Cathy To: Aaenda Alerts Subject: The adoption of Resolution number 2020-18.

Hello, my name is Alice Elderkin, and I own and manage properties on Tunstall, Bartlett, and Sabot. I've lived in the area almost my whole life, living in both the apartments and the Prestige home track for many years. I am sending you this email to request that you rei=the adoption of Resolution number 2020-18. "A resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach establishing Permit Parking District "Z" within the city of Huntington Beach",that you will be voting on Monday,June 15tn This rejection request or postponement of this Resolution is necessary because information presented in the previous meeting on October 7th, 2019 is not correct. The apartment area that was discussed is directly across from the homeowners,they share Heil for their addresses. The biggest misinformation claim is that there is sufficient parking for the apartments, and that the residents are not utilizing the available parking and are abusing the situation. To clarify the situation; each individual 4 unit apartment building located on Heil and the surrounding area, have two private parking spaces and two 2 car garages. There is also a shared space located between buildings. Each individual 4 plex has a three bedroom apartment in the front and three two bedrooms units= nine bedrooms for that building, which means that without any street parking,each apartment has 1 and a half parking spaces that they can use. It was also stated that you could park in front of the garages,this is incorrect and unsafe. When done the garages are blocked and become inaccessible, the alleyway becomes a hazard. It was also stated that the garages are being used for storage,this is an unpermitted change on some buildings and the city should correct those owners through enforcement. Each apartment has access to one car sized spot in a shared 2 car garage and rotating use of a exterior%space parking spot. In comparison to the four available spots for each home(2 on driveway-2 in garage). If I have not said this clear enough—there is insufficient parking for the area. The Street parking is constantly packed, In addition,there is a large apartment complex that has limited parking for the number of units that it has. Exact numbers are not available at this time. It's understandable that there has been some confusion as it appears that there are large parking areas at the Park and closed school, but none of those spaces are available for parking by the residents of the neighborhood. Since the expansion of the Murdy Park Community Center(2017), the increase in noise,trash, and criminal activity has increased for the residents of the apartments. That is where the claims of criminal activity are coming from. Apartment Owners must be very careful when limiting vehicles as it can be construed by Fair Housing as a violation. For example:You have a 2-bedroom apartment. You limit the resident to one car. Which means that you will give preference to a family with children that are not of driving age, or families over roommates. Even if the owner or manager does not state this. This is a clear violation of Fair Housing. This was a recommendation I received when I called Public Works about the situation. The homeowners have unfortunately ignored the park as the center of the problems. Which is located next to the apartment complexes. Currently the city has closed certain areas of parking which has pushed even harder on the residents as people return to the park.True "commuters" park on the resident streets even though the residents are not allowed to park on the school or the park, they have been told this by the city and threatened with towing. Concerning the frontage road and blocking the use of the frontage road from the Apartment residents from across Heil, this will not widen the frontage road if the homeowners continue to use the road themselves. If there is not sufficient space, the frontage road should be declared a Fire Lane and restrict all cars from parking there. A Fire Lane would address all space issues for Trash pickup day, emergency vehicles,tight turns to get out of drive ways and increases visibility. Putting in a Restrictive Parking District in this area,moves the issue to another.nearby area. If the apartments do not get access to the basic amenity of parking,then the area will decline as residents move and owners struggle to fill a unit that can only have one car in it. To truly give these homeowners the quiet and space that they are requesting, it is imperative that the true parking shortage be addressed in the neighborhood. Please be a stand-up city council and help the owners of these apartment properties, many of whom have as much pride in their properties as these homeowners do. Thank you.

I am strongly requesting that this proposal NOT be passed for the following reasons: --When this issue was first discussed with residents last year, there was no mention whatsoever of"splitting"the frontage road into and east and a west side to be considered separately for permit parking. All discussion was about permit parking for the entire frontage road from Goldenwest to Gothard. --I was very surprised when a second vote of residents was requested, splitting the road into two separate entities, apparently voting separately. It had never been discussed to vote as separate entities. Also, the east side of the road includes 7 residences, and the west side includes 12 residences. --The way the proposal stands, if passed, all non-residents of the Heil frontage road will be allowed to park in front of the seven residences on the east side of the road only, creating impacted parking for the residents. --If passed, those of us living on the east side will be very limited in our own guest parking and will have no access to guest parking even along Sabot. So our guests will have to park on Sunlight Drive. --Although I do not live at the 7151 address,just looking at the map, the homeowners there have the worst scenario if passed. They will not be able to park along Sabot Lane, which is directly adjacent to their property. Very unfair. --This proposal is unfair to seven residences and should not be passed. The permit parking should extend for the entire length of the frontage road or not at all. --For the record, at the time of the first vote, I voted against the permit parking because I was not bothered that much by non-residents parking along the road. And I felt it was quite costly for homeowners. However, when I saw how the whole issue had been changed, I voted in favor of the proposal the second time, because I could see how a split proposal would be unfair to seven residences. I urge you to take these points into consideration when you vote. Sincerely, Lynda G.

Two of the properties are located at 7092 and 7102 Heil Avenue across from the proposed residential permit parking district. We respectfully ask that you vote against the proposal. As providers of multifamily housing our tenants are hard working individuals who often work odd hours or evening shifts. In addition, to help with expenses our tenants often double up. As an example, one of our larger three-bedroom units has three roommates and three cars. They are provided two parking spaces on the property. These individuals are health care workers and therefore considered essential workers during the pandemic. They work long hours and often come home later in the evening when parking is a premium. In our effort to provide affordable, safe housing, parking for our tenants is a must. Over the past few years household formation has increased and it is not unusual that apartment dwellers have multiple drivers with two and three cars. This taxes older properties with 60's and 70's parking requirements and allocation. We would like to add that the red curb along Golden West has placed added stress on parking in the area as tenants who would have parked along Golden West now must park along an interior street. Again, we ask for a no vote on the proposal.

To the honorable Barbara Delgleize, Councilmember Regarding: Proposed Establishment of Residential Permit Parking District on Portion of Heil Avenue Frontage Road and Sabot Lane. I am attaching the letter sent to me from the City I am against 15 entitled property owners that wish to establish an exclusive parking area limiting their neighbors from across the street to park on a seldom used dead end public Street. Unfortunately, there is not enough off-street parking for the hard-working citizens of this community. Occasionally the residents do park on the dead-end street, when there is an insufficient amount of parking available to them. Parking across the street is done only when there is no other alternative and they cannot get off street parking or on street parking on the South side of Heil Ave. Which means that the residents on the South side of Heil Ave. will fill up the parking on the South of Heil first because of convenient then once filled with no other parking available on the South side they will park in the dead-end street of Heil Avenue Frontage. The parking fills up from 10pm till lam weekdays and not every week day. The worst I have seen across the street was about ten cars for that time period. The parking plan was designed and approved prior to construction by the City of Huntington Beach back in the 60s. Each of 15 entitled property owners has double the off-street parking per house-hold. We should not make Heil Avenue Frontage Road exclusive on-street parking for the 15 entitled property owners. Now by limiting the on-street parking to the 15 entitled property owner household's vs the 18 lots with 4 households each lot to a total sum of 72 households the City of Huntington Beach will burden more of the less fortunate working-class Huntington Beach citizens. We should not have to change the parking that has been working for over a half a century and incur the cost of signage and enforcement for a small amount of home owners verses 4 times the amount of house-holds that reside in Huntington Beach.

I am a resident of Huntington Beach. I live at 7161 Heil Avenue. I had initially voted no to the parking permit due to the times stated. I have a lot of family gatherings and the times for the permit was not a good time frame. I misunderstood and thought that both sides of Heil Avenue were included as a whole, and not split up as I just found out. I became aware with the recent city letter that was sent out. If the street is being split up this will cause more of a problem with the parking issue. At this point I prefer to work on the permit parking for both sides. Thank you for speaking with over the phone.
