That Section 22507(a) of the State of California Vehicle Code grants cities the authority to establish preferential parking on designated streets or portions thereof, during all or certain times of the day, upon approval by the City Council of an ordinance 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 the California Attorney General's Opinion No. 14-304 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. F. That many vehicles from other areas of Tustin and from other cities are parked on the residential streets of Old Town. Ordinance No. 1494 Page 1 of 5 G. That illegally parked vehicles frequently obstruct sidewalks, driveways, and visibility. H. That many Old Town residents are concerned that new residential units in the Old Town residential area will exacerbate the demand for on -street parking in the Old Town residential area. I. To address concerns regarding on -street parking in the Old Town residential area, staff has taken 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; outreach to the Tustin Acres community; and the distribution of an advisory ballot to property owners and tenants in the Old Town residential area. J. That on February 20, 2018, the City Council considered two (2) alternative permit parking programs for the Old Town residential area and directed staff to set the required ordinance for first reading, develop associated guidelines, and implement permit parking in the Old Town residential area in accordance with Alternative Two. M K. That on March 7, 2018, a public meeting was duly noticed, called, and held concerning this Code amendment. L. 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. M. That the proposed amendment is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Tustin.
