PARKER, CITY MANAGER FROM: ELIZABETH A. BINSACK, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: ON -STREET PARKING IN OLD TOWN RESIDENTIAL AREA SUMMARY: During the past several years, Old Town residents have expressed concerns about the impacts related to an increase to on -street parking in the Old Town residential area. Concerns were expressed at the various public workshops and public hearings held on the subject of second residential units in Old Town Tustin in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and when the Vintage residential project was considered and approved in 2016. To address these concerns, the City Council directed staff on September 15, 2015, and November 15, 2016, to take several actions including: the facilitation of permit parking requests; increased enforcement; an updated overnight vehicle count; a resident survey; a community workshop; meeting with apartment managers; studying potential parking impacts in conjunction with the proposed Downtown Commercial Core Plan; and outreach to the Tustin Acres community. The City Council also directed staff to report back with its findings and to recommend a strategy for the Council's consideration. This report summarizes: 1) the ongoing concerns related to on -street parking in the Old Town residential area; 2) the City's 2015 and 2016 Old Town on -street parking counts and findings; 3) public outreach undertaken to address the issue; and, 4) recommendations of additional actions fof the Council's consideration. RECOMMENDATION: That the City,Council direct staff to take the following actions to address the issue of on - street parking in the Old Town residential area: 1) Mail a summary of a proposed Old Town residential area permit parking policy and a ballot/petition (Attachment A) by certified mail to all owners of property within the Old Town residential parking study area (Attachment B), including single and multiple family residential property owners; and, City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 2 2) Report back to the City Council with the results of the ballot/petition to provide the basis for a recommended strategy for Council consideration. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed actions would have an impact on City resources, which would result in fiscal impacts to the General Fund. The magnitude of these impacts depends on the actions taken and is undetermined at this time. If permit parking were implemented in the Old Town residential area, fiscal impacts could be offset by a permit parking fee and enforcement revenue. INTRODUCTION: This staff report provides the City Council with some background, an analysis and discussion, as well as one (1) recommended action to further address the issue of on - street parking in the Old Town residential area. The report is organized as follows: BACKGROUND --A brief description of prior actions at the public workshops, Planning Commission hearings, and City Council hearings related to the issue of parking in Old Town. • ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION — A discussion of: • Summary of the predominant public input received regarding parking issues in Old Town. • Actions taken by City staff/Police Department and associated findings. • RECOMMENDED ACTION — A recommended action to address parking in the Old Town residential area for City Council consideration, including a proposed permit parking policy for the Old Town residential parking study area. BACKGROUND: Second Residential Units Workshops and Hearings From February 2013 to May 2015, the City conducted three (3) public workshops and four (4) public hearings on the subject of second residential units in Old Town Tustin. The concerns raised at the workshops and hearings and through a public survey included: 1) increased traffic and on -street parking in Old Town, 2) changes to the single family character of the Old Town residential area, 3) increased housing density, 4) permit parking, 5) illegal parking, and 6) the use of garages for living space. In response to the input received at the May 5, 2015, hearing, the City Council directed staff to take the following actions regarding on -street parking, residential privacy, and illegally converted structures in the Cultural Resources (CR) District: City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 3 a. Explore solutions to address parking impacts within the CR District; b. During the plan check process, examine ways to respect residential privacy for properties adjacent to any proposed second floor residential project; c. Continue to enforce the California Vehicle Code for illegally parked cars obstructing sidewalks, driveways and/or accessible ramps; and, d. Continue to enforce illegally constructed or converted structures. Vintage Project On September 27, 2016, and November 15, 2016, the Planning "Commission and City Council, respectively, considered the Vintage project, a request to construct 140 residential units at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and B Street. Although the proposed residential community would provide an attached two -car garage for each residence that would be required by CC&Rs to be accessible for parking and would provide a total of sixty-nine (69) guest parking spaces, when only thirty-five (35) guest spaces are required, concerns were expressed regarding the impact to on -street parking in the Old Town residential area. Based on the public input regarding on -street parking received during the public workshops and public hearings between 2013 and 2016, it was evident that the concern regarding on -street parking in Old Town is a broader issue that should be addressed in a more comprehensive manner versus 'on a project by project basis. As such, the City Council bifurcated the decision on the Vintage project from the overall parking issue and directed staff to take additional actions including: an updated overnight vehicle count; a resident survey, a community workshop; meeting with apartment managers; studying potential parking impacts in conjunction with the proposed Downtown Commercial Core Plan; continued outreach to the Tustin Acres community; establishment of permit parking, if deemed necessary; and, continued enforcement. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: According to many residents, Old Town currently has a variety of parking issues which can be summarized as follows: • Many vehicles are parked on the residential streets of Old Town, especially in areas that are adjacent to properties with existing rental units and/or multiple family residences, and in locations close to businesses. • Vehicles frequently obstruct sidewalks and, driveways. • On -street parking is further impacted when garages are used for storage rather than vehicles, and when individuals from other areas park their vehicles in front of single family residences. • It was expressed that there is illegal construction and/or conversions of garages or other structures to living units which increases the need for additional parking. City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 4 Residents were concemed that the addition of residential units via second residential units, new condominium projects, and possible future projects would exacerbate the demand for on -street parking in Old Town. Residents feel that additional outreach and communication to the impacted area should be provided. In response to these concerns, staff has conducted extensive public outreach and completed two (2) overnight vehicle parking counts to assess the issue and to develop recommendations for the Council's consideration. City Actions — Vehicle Counts On several days in July 2015 and December 2016, the Tustin Police Department collected license plate information from all vehicles parked overnight on streets within the Old Town residential area (from First Street to Sixth Street and from the 55 Freeway to EI Camino Real) and then identified the registration addresses associated with these vehicles. The following table summarizes the findings of the 2015 and 2016 vehicle counts: Registration Address 2015 Count 2016 Count Within Old Town 51% 51% Outside Old Town 49% 49% Outside Tustin 35% 40% Tustin Acres 20% 9% *Only the first two percentage figures add to 100% because the addresses outside of Tustin and within Tustin Acres are subsets of the other figures. For example, addresses outside Tustin are also outside of Old Town, and Tustin Acres is within Old Town. As shown in the table, approximately one-half of all vehicles parked ovemight on Old Town residential streets in the 2015 and 2016 counts were registered at addresses outside of Old Town. Although some of the vehicles that were registered outside of Old Town may have belonged to visitors or to Old Town Tustin residents who still had their vehicles registered at previous addresses, it is evident that a significant number of vehicles being parked overnight in Old Town do not belong to Old Town residents. It City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 5 should also be noted that in the 2016 vehicle count, the percentage of vehicles registered to Tustin Acres residents dropped to approximately nine (9) percent, which suggests that Tustin Acres residents may be utilizing a greater percentage of their on-site parking spaces, including those within the Tustin Acres parking structure. Based upon the 2015 and 2016 parking survey data, the impacted parking situation in Old Town is largely the result of residents of Tustin Acres and multiple family dwellings outside of Old Town Tustin (either in Tustin or Santa Ana) not fully utilizing their on-site parking spaces or not being able to secure on-site parking, and parking their vehicles on Old Town streets. City Actions — Public Outreach in 2017 In February 2017, a community survey (Attachment C) was mailed to all residential property owners and residents in Old Town. The survey was also posted on the City's website and Facebook page and was able to be completed by hand or via Survey Monkey. Of the ninety-six (96) individuals who responded to the survey, approximately sixty (60) percent expressed support for overnight permit parking in Old Town. A summary of the survey results and comments received is included in Attachment D to this report. In addition to the survey, staff also conducted a public workshop which was held on March 2, 2017. Approximately forty (40) members of the public attended the workshop. The workshop provided the public with an additional opportunity to learn more about the issue, to provide public input, offer suggestions, and ask questions. Comments were made regarding public safety, theft, blocked driveways, the need for more enforcement, litter, lack of space for trash bins, and the hesitancy to contact the Police Department. On April 4, 2017, staff met with board members of the organization, Tustin Effective Apartment Managers (TEAM). The board members acknowledged that many of the residents of the complexes they manage possess multiple vehicles and are unable to park all of their vehicles in the parking spaces that are provided on-site. These residents are often unable to find adjacent on -street parking and will drive to other less congested neighborhoods, such as Old Town, where more space is generally available for street parking. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Based on the input received at the various public workshops and hearings and through the surveys, it is apparent that Old Town residents would like to be able to park in front of their homes and are primarily concerned about vehicles parked overnight that belong to individuals who do not reside in Old Town. They are also concerned about public safety and quality of life. City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 6 To address the concerns of many Old Town residents, staff recommends that the implementation of overnight permit parking in the Old Town residential area be considered. If overnight permit parking were to be implemented in the Old Town residential area, it is anticipated the number of vehicles parked on -street overnight and the associated negative impacts would be significantly reduced for the following reasons: • Many Old Town single and multiple family residents have sufficient space on-site to accommodate all of their registered vehicles. • Residents of other cities and other areas of Tustin would not be eligible for permits to park overnight on streets in the Old Town residential area. • All Old Town residents, including those of Tustin Acres and other multiple family dwellings in Old Town, would need to fully utilize provided on-site parking to be eligible for parking permits. Proposed Permit Parking Policy for Old Town Residential Area If permit parking were to be implemented in the Old Town residential area, it is recommended that a separate permit parking policy for the Old Town residential area be adopted that includes the following provisions: • Permits would be made available to residents of single family and multiple family dwellings within Old Town, pursuant to the California Attorney General's Opinion No. 14-304, which concluded that local authorities may limit the issuance of long- term preferential parking permits to residents only, but may not distinguish among residents based on the type of dwelling in which they live. • Permits would be required for all vehicles parked on residential streets in the Old Town area between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. • Full utilization of on-site parking spaces, including garage, carport, and driveway spaces would be required before a resident is eligible for parking permits. • An annual fee of up to $25 per permit would be assessed to offset (but would not fully cover) the cost to administer the program. • Limited term guest permits would be issued to Old Town residents at no cost. Recommended Approach The implementation of permit parking is often a highly controversial decision and therefore it may be appropriate for the City Council to consider the desire of the majority of Old Town residents. City Council Report June 6, 2017 Old Town Parking Page 7 Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to take the following actions: • Mail a summary of a proposed permit parking policy and a ballot/petition by certified mail to all owners of residential property within the Old Town residential parking study area, including single and multiple family residential property owners. Owners would be asked to respond as to whether they support the implementation of permit parking in the Old Town residential area, as described in the summary. • Report back to the City Council with the results of the ballot/petition to provide the basis for a recommended strategy for Council consideration. This recommendation may include the implementation of permit parking in the Old Town residential area, if permit parking is supported by a majority or super majority of Old Town residential property owners.

If yes, please specify: 1: People from other neighborhoods 3/4 to 1 mi away park on our residential street all the time. We can never have guests over because there is nowhere for them to park on the street. I'm constantly seeing people park in front of my house and then get picked up by a friend or relative to go to another neighborhood further away. 2 Too many people who don't live here park on our street — we see car drop-offs all the time. Also, neighbor rents out multiple rooms and all the cars pile-up. 3: I have a 13 unit development with 4 homes facing A Street. 4: There's a lot of litter, drugs, people sleeping in cars, stealing mail, zooming through stop signs. 5: No drive way at house — requires on street parking. 7: Yes, they bring trash, crime and nuisance. Unable to have guests park by or in front of my house. No parking available for residents. Very disrespectful on trash day. Don't have room for trashcans or they move them in front of my driveway or put on my lawn then they don't get picked up. My elderly parents are unable to park in front of my house. I'm sick of it. I've endured this for over 25 years and it is getting worse. 8: Mostly on -property parking, some on -street. 9: Condos next door to me use them all — not allowed to use their own. 10: Yes, lots of people park & are picked up & driven somewhere else. 11: Cars are parked several days in a row in front of my house, often blocking my driveway. 12: Old Town Tustin has become an overnight parking lot for people outside of Old Town. The residential portion of Myrtle Avenue is used for tenant/guest parking for several businesses on First Street. 13: Areas of Old Town have problems with overnight parking over flow. 14: They come from apartments on 1 S` St. and from bootleg apartments and park up and down A Street and are now parking on 2nd Street as well. 15: It's my home — my friends and guests have a place to park. 16: Too many cars parked on residential streets. Page 2 18: Non-residents taking all available parking, dropping off cars combined with event parking for Wilcox Manner. 19: People are carpooling and leave their car all day using it like a park-and-ride. 21: It is necessary for parking. 24: People from out of the area regularly leave their cars/trucks parked in the same space in front of my house overnight & from Friday to Monday on the weekends. 25: More people are using two cars to drop-off one for a long period of time. 26: Over -crowding of apartments in Tustin and Santa Ana has turned our street into a parking lot. The majority coming from across the 55 fwy, from Santa Ana, which has increased trash on our street daily. 27: Tons of parking. Lots of space available in commercial lots. 28: Streets are often full of non-residents at night. 30: We use our garage but do require on street as we have no driveway and Pasadena Ave. is full due to Wilcox Manor x Tustin Acres overflow. 31: Late-night noise, no parking for quests, excessive trash thrown on curb and property. 32: With new multi-unit/higher density housing approved on 6 1 St, I'm concerned that my guests and family will be challenged to find parking. 34: `Drop -Off parking, extended parking, work trucks trash, speeding. 35: 1 — exit my driveway, line of sight block car speeding. 2 — Junk cars. 3 — Neighborhood watch. 36: I live on Myrtle Ave. and like the parking restrictions we currently have, despite the occasional ticket. 37: Now residents parking overnight and some for several days leaving no parking for myself and my family. 38: People from other areas are parking overnight and some for several days at a time, leaving NO PARKING for myself and my family. 39: Yes, many times people who don't live on our street take up the parking spaces in front of our house, and then cars stay there for several days. 40: Street parking occupied by non -Old Town residents to the point residents cannot park. Page 3 41: We have car-pool drop-offs on a regular basis. They drop-off car to get into another and drive away. 42: Cars park so they are infringing on our ability to exit driveway safely — no place to put trash cans. 43: Trash left for to pick up. Car alarms going off in the night — sometimes off and on for hours. 44: Hampers trash pick-up often. Vehicles left for multiple days at a time; partially blocked driveways. 45: Steven's Square people park in my 2 parking spots all the time! ! 46: Cannot see oncoming traffic due to the many cars parked curb side. 47: Too many people park and then stay there for days. It is difficult to put out the trash bins for pick-up. 48: The parking seems to me that there is regulation. I have showed many pictures to the city, with cars blocking the crosswalks and driveways. 49: Unknown people, cars, trash, noise are all problems. 50: Commercial area should have time limits and be enforced. 51: Blocking driveways, long term parking. 52: Parking in front of fire hydrant at A St. and I" St. Red curb in front of home but no fire hydrant (230 S. A St.). 53: We have a one (1) car driveway and often need to back out and move cars around usually at night. There is no parking on our street for visitors. 55: The surrounding apartments, trailer park all park on our street. 58: Do not spot zone. Keep density the same. 59: There seems no parking when there is events and nobody uses the parking structure on'C'. 60: There needs to be more parking for our businesses! 63: We have a single car driveway and we always have at least one car on the street. As long as you would issue 3 permits to one household, then I don't have an issue with permitted parking. Page 4 64: we live on Norwood Park Place, between Irvine and 17th and Prospect and Livingston. Our street has exploded with multi -family homes (We're county) and some homes have as many as 10 cars. 66: If the density of the housing increases, on -street parking will become a major issue. Cars lining both sides of the street is a sign of urban blight in my opinion. 67: Limited street parking 69: There are too many cars parked on every street in Old Town. We are having crime and drug problems from those parked cars. Leaving our driveway, it is difficult to see around them. 70: Villa Viento Apartments, where I live, hands out more'unassigned parking' passes than there are spaces. By a fair margin. Those of us who come home from work after about six P.M. often wind up parking on A or B Streets. 72: It's hard to find on -street parking where I can deploy the wheelchair ramp out of the passenger side of my van. 73: I would like to be able to find parking in Old Town Tustin easily so I can enjoy the shops and restaurants with ample time. I don't know what changes are in store, so I just wanted to share my concerns and priorities in the matter. 74: Tustin seems to enjoy revoking the right of residents to park on the streets. Many residences were designed with the expectation that guests and possibly residents would park on the street. Disallowing street parking is a band aid that solves one problem and creates a whole host of others 75: It causes more congestion, and shitty drivers who can't park will ruin it for EVERYONE. Just say NO. I have to deal with this DAILY where I live and it's never been a pleasant experience. 77: Not enough 78: Yes, with all the regulations it is hard to find on street parking. 79: Some streets in Old Town are too narrow for on -street parking. 83: We don't have a drive way. Unfortunately 1 of our cars has to be parked outside St. 84: Non-residents from churches and other businesses regularly park in front of private residences, leaving no room for residents and guests. 87: The Old Town "look and feel" is greatly diminished by the vehicle lined streets. Page 5 89: The impacted parking in my area of Old Town is primarily due to the condominium parking on Main Street. It has overwhelmed the parking on 3rd street, Pacific, and Main Street. It's so bad that residents on those streets cannot park or find parking near or adjacent to their residence. Condo residences are parking two to three cars outside of their condo community. There are commercial/business vehicles parking routinely for days at a time, exceeding any current city requirements. Routinely trash, drugs, condoms, and food are left by those who park on the above mentioned streets. On street sweeping days, it is a rodeo. Cars are being moved before the street sweeper, and immediately the streets are filled up once the street sweeper or parking enforcement passes. A resident or guest cannot park in front of or adjacent to their property. Some are parking on their lawns and front yards to park. Some are even running businesses from garages, which again impacts the residential parking. 90: The City council does not manage their population density regarding existing apartments. The residential properties SUFFER for this. There are 6 cars to one small apartment. Residential property owners are punished by permit parking and cannot park in front of their own homes. We have been denied our privacy and freedom by the City council members of Tustin who do not care at all about homeowners, let alone enforcing the disrespectful low income renters who have no attention to civic beauty or neighborhood commitment. Red Hill to the 55 fwy is the new Santa Ana, crime is rampant, parking people are rude and disrespectful, they litter, they are selfish and stressed out. Stop subletting, make a law for that, a lot of this parking bingo will stop! Focus on the issues, stop making band aid responses. These are not solutions; they are excuses to cover the city council. I want to be able to park in front of my house on my street overnight as I have done since 1970. I do not want these lowlife apartment druggies and gang bangers parking overnight or having the hoboes and vagrants sleeping on our street. Just because we are logistically disadvantaged to own a home near these areas we are punished the most and we have NO voice regarding our neighborhood. Now you want to do the same band aid to Old Town. I feel so sad for those people; they too will have a loss of freedom coming. 93: I drive through El Camino Real regularly and at least a few days a week there are cars that back out of parking spaces into oncoming traffic with little regard to moving traffic. In addition, driving north on ECR from Newport, cars will wait to merge left to the last possible moment and will force their way into traffic. 94: We have no garage (House built in 1800s) and our "driveway" fits one car. We have two cars. We regularly park in front of our house, but also have to compete for that spot. 95: Parking on the street isn't available when I need it. Strangers parking in the neighborhood introduces an element of uncertainty in which people we know nothing about are coming and going. One thing about a neighborhood is that you know your Page 6 neighbors and the people around you. It's unsettling to have people you know nothing about parked in front of where you live. Strangers parking on the streets leave behind a LOT of litter. 96: Due to the recent increase in permit parking in the surrounding areas, Old Town has seen a rapid increase in non-resident overnight parking. This has led to more trash build up, difficulty finding places to park in front of your own house, and unwanted noise and loitering. 6) If concerned, please describe the frequency and timing of on -street parking problems 1: every late afternoon through evening - it doesn't let up until after 8 P.M. in the mornings. Weekends are the worst! 2: Every day, all the time — curb can fit (2) cars, yet people park in middle & ruin it. 3: Most nights, tenant's park on street as it is a safety issue. 4: Daily! Especially evenings. 10: Multiple times a night. 11: Evenings & weekends. Fridays are especially bad. 12: Every night cars park on Myrtle Avenue and another car soon pulls up and picks up the driver of the parked car. These cars usually parked from 6:00 P.M. — 7:00 A.M., & 7 days a week. The Parking from commercial tenant/guest parking on Myrtle Avenue is usually from 8:00 A.M. — 5:00 P.M., Monday — Friday. 13: Evenings — Street sweeping. 14: Commercial vehicles> daily> overnight and particularly on long weekends. 15: 1 — 2 times a week. 18: Daily. 19: Day and night park in front of our house and leave their trash such as beer bottles and even used condoms. 24: Daily & throughout the weekend. 25: Mostly Weekends. 26: Daily overcrowding on our street, starting in early P.M. to A.M, hours. 27: Daily/weekends, trash day. Page 7 30: Daily! 31: Cars are left all day in some areas all night and weekends elsewhere. 32: Currently — frequency and timing are not a big problem on my street. 34: Every day. 36: P street is overcrowded though and needs a solution. 37: Daily — 3 P.M. till following day or days for some cars. 38: Daily — 3 P.M. till following day or days for some cars. 39: It is usually during the daytime, M — F. 40: Night — every night. 41: Constant — some leave cars for days. 42: Daily. 43: Day and night — Sometimes herd talking in the night. 44: All days. 45: All the time — today 1 car took up 2 spots. 46: Daily. 47: Can't see oncoming traffic down Pacific when I un -park. 48: Usually on the weekends, but also blocking driveways during the week and parked well over 3 days without moving the cars. 49: Every day. 50: Ongoing problem. 51: Often. 52: Residents having no curb and no fire hydrants. 53: Day. 55: Four times a week 59: Noon. Around lunch time. Special Events. Page 8 63: We can never find parking in front of our house when there are events in the park. Also there are a lot of homeless people parking in front of our house. If this will help with situation we will support it as long as there are no restrictions on RESIDENTS for how many permits are issued. 64: Our neighbors (At least 3 of them) have so many cars, that they spread right down the street. 66: I am not aware of any issues in Old Town at this time. My concern is with the possibility of condominium or other high density housing development in Old Town. 69: Daily, all day long and always overnight. 78: Every evening I have a guest overnight. 79: Weekends, when residence and area customers are circling the area competing for parking. 84: Weekends and evenings. 87: The daily overall clutter of resident and assorted work vehicles on evenings and week -ends diminish the safety on the streets by limiting visibility. 89: Frequency - daily. Weekdays, 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. Weekends, 24 hours. 90: I am a residential property owner. I want to be able to park in front of my home without a parking ticket. Please REVOKE the permit parking rules for homeowners to park in front of our houses! Why are we being punished because of your zoning enforcement for population density? Give us back our neighborhoods. Punish those who deserve it, do not take away from us our freedom or why we bought a home here in the first place. City Council members are inconsiderate and now all our neighbors are parking vehicles like ghetto on their grass and sidewalks to avoid tickets. This is insane management. Stop the madness and give us back our neighborhoods. Please enforce your rental slumlords. South Tustin and those who own homes near apartments are held hostage by the lack of code enforcement. Slumlords and renters sublet their couches, floor space and generally create a civic nightmare with congestion at night, LITTERING and rude behavior. Listen to the residents and please help us for God's sake! 91: our apartment complex has very little, almost no guest parking and it is very hard to find on -street parking when we have guests so much so that we have to "shuttle" them in 94: Late afternoon and evenings during the week. Fortunately, my husband gets off early and can usually get the street parking, leaving our driveway for me. Page 9 95: Most of the problems on B street come from Stevens Square. During the day the street is packed with cars. There's a 2 hour parking sign but I've never seen it enforced. The problem persists until 6 or 7 at night. We get occasional "park and riders" who leave their cars overnight but concerned the problem will spread and get worse. 96: The frequency would be nightly unless the non-residents know it is the night before street sweeping. Timing would be from 5 P.M. - 9 A.M. Sometimes cars are left for multiple days at a time. 12) For your street only, which do you prefer and why? 1: So residents & their guests can park on the street if needed. Right now it is almost impossible to have guests over - there is nowhere near to the park - residents from surrounding condos/neighborhoods park their cars in our neighborhood & then walk across the street to their home 3/4 miles away. 2: I often get home from work & can't park in front of my own house. But if it goes to permits, then all in my family need one. 3: It is time you care more about the people than the look of your perfect city. 4: It keeps residents safe, especially children, eliminates trash, drugs, and transients. 6: I live near the park and expect active parking. 7: Residential only, and yes please on my street, W. 3rd. They are not respectful and don't care about the residents. 9: Can't park — condos use them all. 10: So our street is for residents, not residents of other streets. 11: This will give parking for guests but prevent the ditching of cars for extended periods. 12: The residential portion of Myrtle Avenue is impacted by non-resident parking nearly 24 hours per day. The other night a car alarm went off at 1:25 A.M. AND 1:40 A.M. Since the car owner is non-resident, they could not deactivate the alarm or check on the vehicle. 13: New development could create a greater problem on Sixth Street. 14: Most homes do not have adequate parking for residents. 15: Maintain local homeowners use. Page 10 16: Two overnight parking permits per each street address, (With decal stickers or some sort of sign displayed inside cars) [i.e. Handicap cards]. 17: There are no parking problems on 98% of OTT streets (Residential). Permits push the problem /create problems in adjacent hoods. 19: We have a parking problem — some houses have as many as 4-5 cars in the family so cars are parked on both driveway and street. 20: I have a large driveway and we also have not had any problems when guests come and park on the street. 22: This has always worked. Old Town will end up like Tustin Ranch where there are restrictions galore & no overnight parking!!!! 24: Safety concerns & limited parking availability for residents. 25: I like the freedom to park as needed in front of my house, as needed. 26: At times we can't park in front of our home. My daughter recently turned 16 and many days can't find parking near the house. My wife's car was recently broken into; we had a 2 -car fire in front of our house! 27: Trash day, constant short term occupation, long term non-residents, daily carpool drops. 28: Permit parking for overnight use because at night the streets begin to fill up with non- residence, causing the streets to become very cluttered. Though putting trashcans out, people stopped in the middle of the street to drop-off or pick-up. 29: Overnight wouldn't do any good. 30: 1 — Mandatory we have street parking as we have no driveway. 2 — Street is full of non-resident cars. 31: Safety concerns- too many strangers hanging around in cars, trash thrown from cars, no place for legal residents to park — they are from out of the area! 32: Not sure because no info on cost and restrictions available; however, leaning towards the need for permit parking. 34: Avoid `Drop-off' from distance parking, extended parking until sweeping day. 36: I can't speak for others but I like the restrictions on my street, but I don't think it's realistic for the whole city, In places where there are condos etc. it doesn't seem to work. Page 11 37: I'm unable to park at my home because my street is full of cars from other areas. Trash is left (Unsafe). 38: People are parking overnight and for several days at a time. Leaving trash and drinking in their cars. It's unsafe for my family. 39: We use the parking space in front of our house so that the one car space in our garage can back out of the driveway. 40: Allows residents to park on street. 41: Irregular availability of use. 42: See #5, additionally, cars parked overnight frequently leave trash in parkways, noise in late hours, park for more than 48 hours. Alarms going off middle of night. 43: Our quality of life has changed from the lovely quiet neighborhood — what a shame. 44: To ensure adequate parking for residents; to ensure proper access to trash pick-up. 45: With the new construction on 6th St. everyone with be using my 2 spots "UGH". 47: Concerns about safety. 48: People should be able to park, but they need to park properly, without blocking crosswalks and driveways. 49: It is the only way to curb parking problems, residents need. 50: Some cars park and stay for 2 — 3 days before moving. 52: My taxes pay to the middle of the street so no on your.request. (We don't have a parking problem). 53: I think its thenley way to have our street. (Transcribed to best of ability) 55: half of cars are not residents of our street 57: Plenty of parking available. Most homes owner occupied and no rentals with more than one family. 58: I've never had trouble finding parking during the business day when I patronize a business. 59: Because you won't have an individual who unaccounted for parking in a spot designated for an employee of a business in Old Town or a person who rents or owns property Page 12 60: We need to encourage people to go to the Old Town businesses. 61: So you know who is parking in front of your home 62: Streets are public! 63: Because of the reasons mentioned above, if there are no restrictions on how many permits are issued to residents we support it. If you limit the number of permits, you will create a headache for us locals! 64: It's AWFUL on this street. Permit parking would solve so many of the problems. People can park freely on Prospect. 65: Keeps streets clear 66: I do not see any issues with the current situation. Permit parking is an unnecessary hassle. Many properties in Old Town do not have garages or adequate driveway space. 68: Overnight parking isn't really a problem however there is a lot of employee and overflow parking from building on corner of Irvine/Yorba that park on our street (Mountain View). Can make it difficult to park our cars. 69: Because of the drug and crime problem. 70: Because this isn't Pasadena, dammit. If we're going to maintain a totally car - dependent culture, we can't screw people over for owning and driving cars. 72: There's limited on -street parking on Mitchell Ave. 73: Too many apartment renters nearby would be parking on my street otherwise. 74: Many residences were designed with the expectation that guests and possibly residents would park on the street. Disallowing street parking is a band aid that solves one problem and creates a whole host of others. Figure out WHY there may be a parking problem and solve THAT problem, please, please, please do not believe that restricting parking genuinely solves anything. 75: Because it serves to empower the residents while discouraging non-residents to park their cars elsewhere 76: We live adjacent to a condo and apartment complex. Because there are numerous visitors and units with not enough parking, many people park on our street (Windsor Ln off Newport). As a result, our street becomes full and congested in the evenings. Often, my driveway will be blocked from random people not parking properly on the street, making it difficult to back out of my driveway. Therefore, it would be reasonable to impose parking restrictions to reduce traffic congestion. Page 13 77: The buildings were not designed to accommodate 2 person family members that drive 79: It's the closest thing to daytime metered enforcement. 82: There is enough parking. Plenty of open spaces 83: Lots of apartments around this area. I personally have counted 3-5 cars to one (1) house hold, tenants parking on Lemon or Glassell. They are building more apt. homes off Lemon St. 84: To park in front of my home. 87: Permit parking is costly and difficult to administer and enforce. No overnight street parking is straightforward in both. 88: While we've occasionally had issues with users of the commercial uses along 1 st Street parking on the street during the day, this is not an issue during the evening or overnight hours. 89: Currently it is impossible for someone who lives on my street to find parking. 90: I don't like the permit process at all but what can we do? The City Council gave us no voice in how we really want. We get permit parking and tickets if we park in front of our home. Since when does a city get to tell a homeowner how to use their property? This is an extremely disturbing situation. Punishment because of disrespectful apartment renters! Give us back our streets. Permit parking yes for homeowners, but not PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN FRONT OF OUR HOMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!1! 91: It would give residents equal opportunity to park as permits limited per household/business 94: I'm not too familiar with permit parking. I like no restrictions but am concerned if other streets have restrictions, then I won't be able to park in front of my house. Also, what happens during permit parking for when my children visit or we have guests? Our driveway fits one car only. 95: Because residents should still have the option of parking on the street if needed. 96: This would limit the paring to residents only and public use could still go on in the day. Page 14 14) Ideas or solutions to address on -street parking: 1: Permit parking for residents & their guests in residential areas so we have a place to park on the street. 2: I would like 3`d St. to have the Myrtle rules, but instead of (1) permit for overnight parking; multiple permits should be given for the entire (Driving) household. 3: Relax and let people live their lives. You already took parking from another building, which caused a big difficulty. Leave well enough alone. 4: Parking permits! There are too many people living in the Tustin Acres units. 2-3 families in a 1 unit place. Their parking structure is empty. But the residents crowd the streets. 7: residential permits with guest parking options or placard for overnight. 8: We are in a low-density area of Old Town 9: Stop giving tickets. 11: I think no overnight parking is the best solution. It would force Residents to use their own parking spaces/garage and prevent other communities from coming to Tustin to park. 12: A permit parking program should be established for all residential streets in Old Town Tustin. If permit parking is established for only certain streets, it will just move the current parking problems to another location. 13: All developments and multi -family should provide enough on-site parking. 14: Issue parking permits only to residents showing proof of residency. 15: Tustin has increased the density rates — now they have a problem. 16: Overnight parking permits, 2 permits ONLY per street address. None issued to commercial vehicles or recreational vehicles. 17: Require 2 to 2.5 off street spaces for all new condo developments in OTT! ! 18: Permit parking for overnight. 19: We have a big big parking problem in Old Town and it is only going to get worse with the 6 1 St. Apartments. Our property is at risk having unidentified cars parked in front of our homes day and night. We soon well be looking like Old Town Costa Mesa — curb to curb parked cars. Page 15 20: I would suggest encouraging bike riding to help relieve some parking issues. Look into bike lockers in Old Town or even a rent -a -bike station. 21: Don't know — hoping you can help. 22: More rules & restrictions — doesn't help!! 24: Parking permits or no overnight parking. 25: I'm sure the problem is worse close to condos. The permit process just moves the problem further out. 26: Please install the permit only option on our street. We once had a quiet cul-de-sac, which has been turned into what looks like a used car lot with 2 -times the traffic and trash. 27: Have more overnight parking permitted for the abundant private space. 29: Mark parking spots. 30: Resident permit parking but no more than four (4) permits per address!! 31: Track license plates for registration; give resident permits for their property based on lot size. 33: Do not allow over density housing — enforce existing rules for number or occupants for residents. 34: Permit parking for residents only. 36: It seems that the main problem is that Tustin Acres doesn't, or maybe properly utilize parking. Those residents have to park too far from home. They need a better situation. 37: No parking for non-residents, permit parking only. 38: Permit parking — No parking. No overnight parking for non-residents. 39: People who live on the street have- permits to park on the street. Guests may be given "guest passes" good for a specified time span. 41: Permits, 42: Paint curbs red adjacent to driveways, preference is permit parking. 43: Permit Parking. 44: Perking permit for residents of Old Town homes. Page 16 45: Permit only, 24 hours a day. (For myself and tenants only) 47: Street permit parking. 48: Painting curbs red by driveways and crosswalks. BUT ENFORCED! ! ! Too many warning, not enough tickets or tows. When calling police, takes too long for someone to come out. 49: Permit. 52: Leave them alone and no red curbs when there is on fire hydrant. 57: Do not spot zone. Keep density the same. 59: Another parking structure on 6th Street fronted by shops and business or in the Farmers' market lot. 60: Parking structure easily accessible to El Camino. 63: People are parking in Peppertree Park spaces all day long and there are never any tickets issues for over staying the 2 hour limit. You might want to start with enforcing the existing rules. 64: How about the building department starts to figure out that more people are living in houses that were built for maybe a family of four 4 have over 8 or 12 people in them. There must be some kind of occupancy laws. 66: Enforce occupancy restrictions on single family homes and do not approve any future high density development in Old Town. Most of us have seen the disaster Irvine has become. 68: Contact businesses and have them try to manage their parking situation by schedule clients better so lot doesn't overflow. Thanks for asking. 69: If permit parking is allowed, then it should be limited to 1 permit per household. People need to park in their own driveway, garage, carport. Property owners need to limit the number of renters to the number of available parking spaces for that specific property. 74: Dig deeper and determine why there is an issue, it is not as simple as 'too many cars.' If there are multiple families living in a SFR, resolve that issue. If it is folks using their assigned parking (Garage) as storage, resolve that. The right for people to use their property as they see fit stops when it affects a neighbor's quality of life. 75: Invest in a vertical parking solution. 79: Provide a low cost metered self -paid 6 hr max. Public parking lot on 3rd St. between El Camino Real and Prospect Ave. (Similar to Balboa Pier) Page 17 82: Leave it alone. 83: This is a problem affecting not only Old Town!! All over Glassell Collins, Lemon, Wilson. 87: The current "unlimited" parking availability in Old Town places no restraints on the number of residents within a single residence, giving possible rise to concerns over diminished property values (e.g. a large number of tenants next door). 88: It is presently unclear what and where the problem is in Old Town. Possible solutions should not be a one size fits all, but should be tailored and street= or area -specific. 89: Permit parking should be only for those who actually reside or own property (Rental properties) on the street. Guest or property owner permits should be allowed for addresses on a specific street. I am a Property Owner and own a duplex in Old Town Tustin, 90: Give homeowners year round permit parking 24/7 without punishment because the city doesn't enforce their population density. To take the pressure off the City Council members back, they punish us to make it seem to the apartment rifraff they have a solution. This is ridiculous management! I've lived here 40 years and I cannot believe these ridiculous Council members decision regarding our homes. Who has the right to tell me how to use my garage space? YOU people are criminals! I have absolutely no faith in this City or its managers. I am disappointed, sad, and discouraged. How to do sleep at a night knowing you are affecting hundreds of families who pay taxes and high mortgage rates and have been here a long time. Changing their way of life and wellbeing? You think your decisions are fair and equitable? You think everyone is happy? You just push your problem from one neighborhood to another, this is not a solution. Ask a homeowner. 96: I recommend having permit parking due to the following reasons: 4. Many residents in Old Town do not have adequate garages to accommodate some of today's vehicles. 2. Not everyone has a driveway to park additional cars. 3. People would be able to enter and exit their houses safer. 4. This would reduce the amount of non-resident traffic flow on Old Town residential streets. Miscellaneous Comments 2: We also need a cul-de-sac at the end of Myrtle & Main, way too many cars speed through. 10: People are parking overnight in our church parking lot. We give them one notice, then we tow them! Orange County Church — First Advent Christian Church. Page 18 14: Hi Scott, This is looking out my front door. The station wagon across the street is a yellow cab. The plumbing truck is parked overnight, every night, in front or alongside my house on 2"d St. the cab is only occasional. Today there is a pickup truck in front that has been parked there for 3 days. If the city allows the conditions/ use permit for high density residential at 140 S. A, it will only get worse (If that's possible) Bebe Radice 180 S. A Street 34: Issues -Speeding, extended parking (Drop-off), trash, blocking driveways. Possible solutions -Permit, thru traffic not allowed, speed bumps on MY STREET. 43: People that don't live here have really changed our lives! 45: This is wonderful, have been waiting for a long time!! 48: Many times have called and time anyone comes out the car or truck has moved. Sometimes parked illegally for hours and hours!!! 52: We have lights at curb. No city lights shine all night comes in our home, no lights need be in our home.
