Ordinance NO. 0-2001-44

1. ) The petition shall contain a description or a map showing the proposed residential permit parking area.
2. ) The proposed residential permit parking areas shall include at least 6 (six) adjacent block fronts and at least 80% of the block fronts must be residentially zoned, and at a minimum, 75% of all on-street parking spaces within the proposed area must be occupied during any two one-hour periods between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Both sides of a roadway must be included in each area unless determined by the Director of Public Works or his/her designee to be impractical or undesirable.
3. ) The Petition shall be supported by a signature, printed name, address, and date of signing of the petition by residents 18 years or older representing at least 67% of the addresses within each proposed area

1. ) an area is not in a residential zone as defined by the California Vehicle Code and a significant daytime parking problem exists;
2. ) it is impossible or impractical to establish an area with six or more adjacent block faces
3. ) because accessibility to large apartments or condominiums is restricted, it is impossible to access a sufficient number of addresses to obtain signature representing 67% of the addresses. However, in no case shall an area be recommended to be established as a residential permit parking area when a petition containing signatures representing less than 30% of the addresses within the area has been submitted for review.

1. ) Undertake or cause to be undertaken such surveys or studies deemed necessary.
2. ) Conduct a Public Hearing on the proposed residential permit parking area. Notice of the hearing shall be posted at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing on all block fronts proposed to be included in the residential permit parking area. Notice of Public Hearing will also be advertised in a major local newspaper. Following the hearing, the Director of Public Works or his/her designee may accept, amend or reject the proposed area in any manner, including, but not limited to, modification of boundaries of the proposed area and the restrictions imposed on such proposed area.
3. ) Upon acceptance of the Petition by the Director of Public Works or his designee, the Director of Public Works shall thereafter, cause to be drafted a resolution recommending the granting of the Petition and the establishment of a residential permit parking area, including any regulations and time restrictions determined by the Director of Public Works or his designee, to be reasonable and necessary in such area.
4. ) The Board of Supervisors may in its discretion, adopt, deny or modify the recommended resolution submitted by the Director of Public Works to grant the Petition establishing a residential permit parking area. However the resolution of the Board of Supervisors will not take effect until the Director of Public Works has caused the installation of signs designating the area as a residential permit parking area pursuant to Section 12.30.050 of this Article.

1. ) guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof an on-street parking space within the designated residential permit parking area.
2. ) authorize the permit parking holder to leave standing his/her vehicle for more than 72 hours.
3. ) authorize the abridgment or alteration of regulations established by authority other than this chapter.
4. ) exempt the permit parking holder from other traffic controls and regulations existing in the designated residential permit parking area.
