MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 20, 2018
TO: JEFFREY C. 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 in 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.
On June 6, 2017, staff reported back to the City Council, and the Council directed staff to
mail a summary of a proposed permit parking program and a ballot/petition to all property
owners and tenants within the Old Town residential area; and to report back to the
Council. Advance notices and advisory ballots were mailed out in the summer of 2017 to
over 650 individuals. 269 completed ballots were received on or prior to September 15,
2017. Overall, 60 percent of the respondents expressed support for permit parking, while
40 percent of the respondents expressed opposition.
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; 4) a summary and
analysis of the advisory ballots; and, 5) a recommendation to implement one (1) of two
(2) alternatives for permit parking in the Old Town residential area.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council direct staff to set the required ordinance
reading on March 6, 2018, develop associated guidelines
implement permit parking in the Old Town residential are
Alternative One or Alternative Two.
FISCAL IMPACT:
(Attachment A) for first
(Attachment B) and
a in accordance with
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.

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:
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.

SUMMARY OF CONCERNS:
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.
• 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 concems, staff 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 EFFORTS:
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 El Camino Real) and then identified the registration addresses associated with these
vehicles.
As shown in the table below, approximately one-half of all vehicles parked overnight 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
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.

* 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.
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.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In February 2017, a community survey 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.
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.
On June 6, 2017, the City Council directed staff to mail a summary of a proposed permit
parking program and a ballot/petition to all property owners and tenants within the Old
Town residential area; and to report back to the Council. On July 20, 2017, and July 31,
City Council Report
February 20, 2018
Old Town Parking
Page 6
2017, advance notice postcards and advisory ballots, respectively, were mailed to over
650 single family and multiple family Old Town residential property owners and residents.
269 completed ballots were mailed, delivered, or completed through Survey Monkey on or
prior to the requested return date of September 15, 2017. As shown in Attachment C, 60
percent of the respondents expressed support for permit parking, while 40 percent of the
respondents expressed opposition. Staff also analyzed the advisory ballot results by
location and tenure. Of the analyzed sub -groups, those most in support of permit parking
include the property owners and residents on Pacific Street, south of Main Street (100
percent support), property owners and residents north of Main Street (67 percent support),
and owner residents (66 percent support). Those most in opposition include apartment
residents (69 percent opposition) and Tustin Acres property owners and residents (59
percent opposition).
In addition to indicating support or opposition on their ballots, 26 individuals provided
comments on their ballots. These comments are shown in Attachment D.
Attached for reference (Attachment E) is a survey conducted by City staff of permit
parking programs in nine (9) other Orange County cities. In summary:
• Permit parking request can be initiated with a single letter, require a minimum of
5-25 residences, or petition.
• In five (5) of the nine (9) cities, a 2/3 or 3/4 supermajority approval is required by
residents. Two (2) of the nine (9) cities require majority approval and the other
two (2), like Tustin, do not require any resident approval.
• Number of permits issued varies among surveyed cities. Some cities would only
issue permits to registered vehicle at the residence, other cities issued a limited
number of permits (i.e. 3-7 permits per residence).
• Six (6) of the cities surveyed charge fees for permit issuance. Fees range from
$5-$60 per permit plus guest permit fee. Some cities also require a one-time
processing fee.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Based on the input received at the various public workshops and hearings and through
the surveys, direct comments to City staff, and comments on some of the advisory
ballots, 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.

To address the concerns of many Old Town residents and in accordance with the majority
of the advisory ballot respondents, it is recommended that overnight permit parking in the
Old Town residential area be implemented by the City Council. If overnight permit
parking were to be implemented in the Old Town residential area (Attachment F), it is
anticipated the number of vehicles parked on -street overnight and the associated
negative impacts would be 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 their on-site parking to be
eligible for parking permits.
If permit parking were to be implemented in the Old Town residential area, it is
recommended that a separate permit parking policy unique for the Old Town residential
area be adopted. Old Town Permit Parking should be made available to residents of
single family and multiple family dwellings within Old Town, consistent with 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.
Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to implement one (1) of the following
two (2) alternative approaches to an overnight permit parking program in the Old Town
residential area shown in Table 1. Alternative Two is similar to the City's existing permit
parking program that has been implemented in many areas of the city, except that it would
include a permit fee and be available to single and multiple family residences. The two (2)
alternatives include several identical provisions and two (2) provisions that are different.

There are approximately 520 residences and an estimated on -street parking capacity of
about 700 vehicles within the Old Town residential area. Therefore, if each residence
were eligible to obtain one parking permit (Alternative One), there would be sufficient
space overnight to park 520 vehicles plus a substantial number of guest vehicles on -street
within the Old Town residential area, assuming efficient parking patterns.
Under Alternative Two, residences with many registered vehicles and/or limited on-site
parking capacity could be eligible for several parking permits, while those with few vehicles
and/or ample on-site parking may not be eligible for any parking permits. For example, a
residence with ten (10) registered vehicles and four (4) on-site parking spaces would be
eligible for six (6) parking permits, whereas a residence with three (3) registered vehicles
and four (4) on-site parking spaces would not be eligible for a parking permit. The total
number of vehicles that would be eligible for permits is unknown and will change over time.
It is also important to consider that the implementation of a permit parking program in the
Old Town residential area may have an impact on other areas of the city where street
parking is allowed and permit parking has not been implemented, as those searching for
available on -street parking may choose to park their vehicles overnight in other Tustin
neighborhoods.

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 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.
D. 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.
E. That on March 6, 2018, a public meeting was duly noticed, called, and held
concerning this Code amendment.
F. 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.

"We are opposed to the 'Proposed Preferential Parking Zone' as described on
this ballot. This proposal would only make parking more labor intensive for
residents. It might reduce non-resident streets parking but would also make it
unavailable to residents. That is not the goal! What I would hope to see is an

can show that you reside on the street then you would be issued permits for

"I have not been able to make it to the meetings on the subject of parking
(because I work late), but I very much support this proposal. Something needs
to be done because the situation is out of control. We live on the corner of
Pacific & 3rd Streets and have lots of street frontage. People use this and the
parkway as a dump zone for trash. Beer and liquor bottles, paper coffee cups,
and all sorts of stuff is left there regularly — in fact, it is a rare day that I do not
have to pick up trash there. It is not uncommon for this to include used
condoms and what appears to be the entire trash from several McDonald's
meals that people have thrown out after parking there and eating it. Also,
sometimes people park with the backs of their vehicles partially blocking our
driveway, many times an old stake -back truck with trash in the back (very

visible) is parked on 3rd Street (side of our house) for several days at a time. It
is very unsightly. While on this subject, is it possible to paint the curb in front of
our street entrance on Pacific St. red - Just for maybe a four or five foot
stretch? We have an arbor there and a bride path leading to our front door
(and also our mailbox is there) and the entire area is blocked by parked cars
almost all of the time (the exception being on the morning of street sweeping
day, the street number for our house [265] is totally covered and people
cannot find the house if they have not been there before). Even if they can see
the number, it is extremely difficult for them to weave their way through the
cars to get to our front gate. The parking of cars right in front of our entry
effectively cuts off our ability to use our front door."
