BACKGROUND In 1985, the City adopted an ordinance providing for the establishment of Residential Parking Permit Districts (RPPD). The purpose of such districts is to reduce traffic congestion resulting from the use of parking within residential districts by persons not residing within the district, to protect the residents of these districts from an unreasonable burden in gaining access to their residences, to preserve the character of such districts as residential districts, and other various purposes. A Residential Parking Permit District designation can be made only after a petition of residents representing 60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units in a proposed area is received, a parking study is conducted by the City Engineer, and a public hearing is held by the City Council. Part of this 1985 Ordinance (9-14-321.722 (B): Residential Parking Permit Program Established — Parking Study) states that upon receipt of a valid pPtition, the City M�nager shall cause a parking study of the area identified in the petition to be conducted. A residential parking permit district may be established only if the results of the study demonstrate that both of the following criterions are satisfied during peak periods: 1. At least seventy percent (70%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking permit district were utilized during peak periods. For purposes of this criterion, a legal curbside parking space shall be twenty-three (23) linear feet; and 2. At least twenty five percent (25%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking district were utilized by nonresident parkers. For purposes of this criterion, the latest available motor vehicle registration information shall be used. DISCUSSION Recent expansions to existing Residential Parking Permit District "H" have proven that continuous monitoring and numerous parking studies be conducted due to repeat failure to meet the 70% curbside parking requirements at the time of parking study. The most recent expansion of District H that included Key Way Drive between Pennsylvania Avenue and Keymont Drive, Engineering staff conducted six (6) formal parking studies (and up to five (5) additional informal parking studies) spanning from March 19th to May 7th due to continuous failed studies. Using 23 lineal feet(LF) of curb per stall, the studied area contained a total of 40 curbside parking stalls, which equates to 28 parked cars at the time of the study to meet the 70% requirement. Results of the parking studies are as follows: 1. 03/19/19 at 1015: 15 cars parked curbside (Fail-37.5% occupied, 62.5% available) 2. 04/02/19 at 0955: 24 cars parked curbside(Fail-60% occupied, 40% available) 3. 04/04/19 at 1145: 26 cars parked curbside(Fail-65% occupied, 35% available) 4. 04/15/19 at 1025: 24 cars parked curbside (Fail-60% occupied, 40% available) 5. 04/23/19 at 0900: 25 cars parked curbside (Fail-62.5% occupied, 37.5% available) 6. 05/07/19 at 0930: 28 cars parked curbside (Pass-70% occupied, 30% available) Each informal parking study resulted in a Fail. Repeated failure t� m�et a cur�side parking occup�ncy �f 7f�% on Key 1Nay Drive from Pennsylvania to Keymont, resulted in an increased expenditure for the Residential Parking Permit Program due to numerous parking studies. When a Passing parking study was conducted, curbside parking equated to the minimum of 70% occupancy. As shown in the attached map, additions to District H resulted in a higher number of parking studies needed to meet the 70% threshold as distance increased from the source (Hempstead High School) to the proposed additional street. Norland Drive required two (2) parking studies, Sharon Drive required three (3) parking studies, and Key Way Drive required six (6) parking studies. With current Ordinance 9-14-321.722 (B), there is not a clear definition to the number of parking studies needed to meet the 70% curbside occupancy requirement. As districts grow, the curbside parking occupancy will continue to decrease, with commuters finding alternative locations to park or using other means to reach their destination. Adding three additional lines(in bold)to Ordinance 9-14-321.722(B)would clearly define parking study limits to be used during the creation of a new district or addition to an existing district: 1. At least seventy percent (70%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking permit district were utilized during peak periods. For purposes of this criterion, a legal curbside parking space shall be twenty-three (23) linear feet; and 2. At least twenty five percent (25%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking district were utilized by nonresident parkers. For purposes of this criterion, the latest available motor vehicle registration information shall be used. 3. The parking study will be completed within thirty (30) days of receipt of the petition, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 4. No more than four(4) site visits will be completed as part of a parking study, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 5. In order to receive a recommendation to the City Council for creation of a residential parking permit district the conditions in subsection 1 and 2 must be met a minimum of one (1) time during the site visits. Examples of specific circumstances could be: holiday or summer break, prolonged adverse weather conditions, roadway construction activities that may impact pedestrian routing or commuter parking, traffic pattern changes that may impact curbside parking, or any other circumstance deemed necessary. RECOMMENDATION I recommend an amendment to City Ordinance 9-14-321.722 (B): Residential Parking Permit Program Established — Parking Study that would add the following changes (in bold): 1. At least seventy percent (70%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking permit district were utilized during peak periods. For purposes of this criterion, a legal curbside parking space shall be twenty-three (23) linear feet; and 2. At least twenty five percent (25%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking district were utilized by nonresident parkers. For purposes of this criterion, the latest available motor vehicle registration information shall be used. 3. The parking study will be completed within thirty (30) days of receipt of the petition, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 4. No more than four(4) site visits will be completed as part of a parking study, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 5. In order to receive a recommendation to the City Council for creation of a residential parking permit district the conditions in subsection 1 and 2 must be met a minimum of one (1) time during the site visits. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The City Council is requested to approve the ordinance to amend 9-14-321.722 (B) Parking Study and define a clear limit to be used during the creation of a new district or addition to an existing district.

Section 9-14-321.722 of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances is amended to read as follows: 9-14-321.722: RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM ESTABLISHED: There is hereby established a Residential Parking Permit Program. The procedure for being designated a residential parking permit district shall be as follows: A. Petition: 1. Required:,In order to be considered for a residential parking permit district designation, a group of residents must submit a petition to the City Manager containing the signature of an adult member of at least sixty percent (60%) of the dwelling units in the residential area. Petitions shall only be considered for areas which contain at least four (4) adjacent block faces or fifty (50) curb parking spaces. The boundaries of and the streets within the proposed permit parking district shall be clearly identified on each page of the petition. The petition shall also state clearly that, if the district is approved that participation in the program is mandatory, only those vehicles with a permit shall be permitted to park in the residential parking permit district between seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. and five thirty o'clock (5:30) P.M. daily, or such other hours as may be requested by the petition and approved by the City Council, except Sundays and holidays, and an annual fee will be charged for a parking permit for each vehicle. The necessary petition can be obtained from the Office of the City Clerk. A cover letter explaining the reasons for the request and a map showing the boundaries of the proposed parking permit district shall accompany the petition. 2. Exception: A petition may be considered for an area which contains less than four (4) adjacent block faces or fifty (50) curb parking spaces if there are extenuating conditions that render such requirement unreasonable. Upon the recommendation of the City Manager, such requirement may be waived by the City Council if it finds that the proposed residential district is isolated or separated from other residential areas by topographical features or by commercial area. The City Council shall not grant such a waiver, however, if it determines that the only basis for granting such a waiver is the convenience of the residents or if it determines that the waiver is being requested by the petitioners to prevent opposition to establishing a district. All other requirements of this division must be established. 3. A petition for creation of a residential parking permit district in an area may only be submitted for consideration once per quarter. B. Parking Study: Upon receipt of a valid petition, the City Manager shall cause a parking study of the area identified in the petition to be conducted. A residential parking permit district may be established only if the results of the study demonstrate that the following criterions are satisfied during peak periods: 1. At least seventy percent (70%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking permit district were utilized during peak periods. For purposes of this criterion, a legal curbside parking space shall be twenty three (23) linear feet. 2. At least twenty five percent (25%) of the curbside parking spaces in the proposed parking district were utilized by nonresident-parkers. For purposes of this criterion, the latest available motor vehicle registration information shall be used. 3. The parking study will be completed within thirty (30) days of receipt of the petition, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 4. No more than four (4) site visits will be completed as part of a parking study, except in specific circumstances deemed necessary by the City Engineer. 5. In order to receive a recommendation to the City Council for creation of a residential parking permit district the conditions in subsection 1 and 2 must be met a minimum of one (1) time during the site visits. C. Parking Study Report And Recommendation: Upon completion of the parking study, if the conditions of subsection B of this section are established, the City Manager shall make a report and recommendation to the City Council, based upon the petition and results of the survey, on whether or not to designate the proposed parking district or a portion thereof as a residential parking permit district and the hours such restrictions are to be in effect. The recommendation shall take the following into account: 1. The effect on the safety of the residents of the proposed residential parking permit district from intensive parking by nonresidents; 2. The difficulty or inability of residents of the proposed residential parking permit district to obtain adequate curbside parking adjacent to or near their residences because of widespread use of available curbside parking spaces by nonresident motorists; 3. The likelihood of alleviating, by use of the Residential Parking Permit Program, any problem of nonavailability of residential parking spaces; and 4. The desire of the residents in the proposed residential parking permit area for the institution of a residential parking permit district and the willingness of those residents to bear the cost incidental to the administration of the Residential Parking Permit Program. D. Public 'Hearing: Upon receipt of the report and recommendation from the City Manager, the City Council shall set public hearing on the petition. Upon completion of the public hearing, the City Council may reject the petition or adopt an ordinance designating the permit area as a residential parking permit district and the hours such parking restrictions are to be in effect. E. Amendments: 1. Amendments to the existing districts for expansion or reduction of the district must be requested by submitting to the City Manager a petition containing the signatures of an adult member of at least sixty percent (60%) of the dwelling units in the residential area proposed for expansion or reduction to the district. 2. Amendments to the existing districts for a change in the days/times must comply with the standards for establishment of a district. 3. An amendment to expand or reduce a district will not be considered if the proposed change will not meet the requirement of two (2) block faces unless there are extenuating conditions that render such requirement unreasonable. 4. Expansion areas of a district will inherit the same days/times for parking restrictions as the previously established district. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon publication. Passed, approved and adopted this 3rd day of September 2019. Attest: Kevi .
