6. ON-STREET PARKING IN OLD TOWN RESIDENTIAL AREA
PowerPoint presentation by Principal Planner Scott Reekstin.
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 for the Council's consideration.
It was moved by Councilmember Clark and seconded by Councilmember Gomez
to 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 of the staff report) by certified
mail to all owners of property and tenants within the Old Town residential
parking study area (Attachment B of the staff report), including single and
multiple family residential property owners; and,
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.
