TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1354 - CODE
AMENDMENT 08-001, OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
SUMMARY:
The City's off-street private parking regulations are currently located throughout the Tustin City
Code and the City's Parking Guidelines. Draft Ordinance No. 1354 consolidates the City's
parking regulations into a single chapter, providing elaboration on vague standards, introduces
updated standards and requirements, with an intent to prohibit any inappropriate use of required
parking spaces and garages, and addresses anticipated spillover impacts from on-street parking
restrictions. The goal of the proposed code amendment is to adequately address and minimize
potential impacts to off-street parking and to include provisions that clearly state use and design
requirements to ensure that parking areas and spaces function as intended.
RECOMMENDATION:
Have second reading by title only and adoption of Ordinance No. 1354 (roll call vote).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On October 7, 2008, the City Council had first reading by title only and introduction of the
