PARKING RESTRICTIONS DURING HOURS OF STREET SWEEPING
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of February 3, 1986, approve the
current practice of regulating parking during hours of street sweeping with the
addition of the six policies that would regulate that practice.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council meeting of January 6, 1986, staff was requested to provide a
plan to implement the installation/removal of parking prohibition signs during
hours of street sweeping without presenting each individual request to City
Council for their final action.
In July, 1985, staff investigated three options pertaining to parking regulations
during the hours of street sweeping.
At that time, Council elected to maintain the current program of addressing each
request as an individual Council action after each affected resident had been sent
a questionnaire letter regarding the implementing of any parking prohibition.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is again proposing the' following policy be implemented with regard to
requests for parking regulations during the hours of street sweeping.
That the current pPactice be continued as each individual request for
parking regulation is received. This current practice should be regulated
by the following policies:
ae
All restrictions should be placed on a block by block basis only for
most residential developments, except where a development is located
on a large parcel of land with one ownership such as an apartment
complex or a Homeowner's Association.
The resident(s) initiating said request should be required to submit
a petition signed by a minimum of 2/3 of the total number of
residents on any given block that are in favor of the requested
on-street parking restrictions.
c. Only one signature per dwelling unit should be utilized for
attaining the 2/3 count.

Staff would review the request and/or petition and implement the
action if the 2/3 signature requirement was met. Otherwise, if the
signature requirement was not met, staff would deny the request.
e. Appeals by the requesting party could be made to the City Council.
f. Request the sign removals would require a petition signed by a
minimum of 2/3 the total number of residents on any given block.
Staff would review the request and/or petition for removal and implement the
action if signature requirement was met.
This practice would require the residents of any given block to communicate with
each other regarding the matter when assembling the petition and would eliminate
the need for City Council action on each individual request.
In the event Council felt 2/3 count is too high, the count could certainly be
lowered to a simple majority or 51%.
