Huizar, Chief Deputy City Clerk ATTACHMENT: Ordinance ORDINANCE NO. 1362 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TUSTIN CITY CODE SUBSECTION 5331 n REGARDING DESIGNATION OF ZONES FOR PARKING BY PERMIT ONLY The City Council of the City of Tustin, California, hereby ordains: SECTION I: The City Council finds and determines: A. That section 22507(a) of the State of California Vehicle Code grants cities the authority to establish preferential parking on designated streets or portions thereof, during all or certain times of the day, upon approval by the City Council of an ordinance or resolution containing provisions that are reasonable and necessary to assure the effectiveness of a preferential parking program, and after signs giving adequate notice of such regulations are placed. B. That the City Council has determined that, for a variety of reasons that differ by location in the City, parking in certain locations in the City is impacted, and at times, residents and their guests are unable to find parking spaces in convenient proximity to their residences. A lack of adequate parking within convenient proximity to residences can have an adverse impact on safety of the traveling and pedestrian public, and may adversely affect the quality of residential living. C. That the City Council has adopted a ban on parking on some arterial streets in the City that, in some locations, is causing those who might otherwise park their vehicles on those streets to park on streets located adjacent to the arterial streets. Some of those adjacent streets already have limited parking available for residents and their guests. D. That in light of the foregoing, it is beneficial to the business merchants, the residents and to the safety and welfare of the community as a whole, to establish a process for the designation of locations for preferential parking privileges to better ensure availability of adequate parking within convenient proximity to residences. E. That this Code amendment is regulatory in nature, and the City of Tustin has a substantial interest in protecting the health and safety and welfare of the public, including those traveling upon and parking upon City streets. F. That on March 17, 2009, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held concerning this Code amendment. Ordinance No. 1362 Page 1 of 3 G. That the Code amendment regulates the use of existing public highways and streets for public health, safety and welfare purposes, directs a minor alteration in the operation of the City roadway system, and as such, the Class 1 Existing Facilities exemption in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, Section 15301 applies. H. That the proposed amendment is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Tustin. SECTION II.
