SU8JECT: REMOVAL OF TWO HOUR PARKING RESTRICTION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of July 18, 1983, deny the request
to have the two hour parking restriction removed along the southerly si de of First
St. between "A" and "B" Streets.
BACKGROUND:
A few months ago, City Council requested staff to review the feasibility of
removing the two hour parking restriction on the southerly side of First St.
between "B" St. and "A" St. In lieu of studying only this isolated area, the
entire length of First St. (both sides between the Costa Mesa (Newport) Freeway
and Newport Avenue was evaluated.
For the first few years after the widening of First St. in 1973/74, similar
requests for the removal of the parking restrictions had been made to the City
and, as a result of previous studies, the parking restrictions have remained in
place.
DISCUSSION:
A letter questionnaire has been mailed to either all property owners,.
businesspersons, or residents along Fi6st St. within the area of concern with the
exception of those that had no existing parking on First St. A total of
ninety-eight (98) letters were mailed asking for either concurrence or
non-concurrence of the requested parking restriction removal. As of this date, a
total of sixty-eight (68) responses were returned, plus three being returned by
the post office as not being deliverable. The response effort is 69%. The
breakdown of responses is as follows:
Number of % of
Responses Responses
Remove Parking Restriction 25 36.8
No Action On Parking Restriction 42 61.8
No Opinion 1 1.4
TOTALS ~ 100%
Over the last three years, staff has not received any comments or requests, except
for the current request, with respect to the removal of parking restrictions along
First St.
In the event the Council elects to remove parking along the southerly side of
irst St. between "A" and "B" Streets, it is suggested that the restriction be
