Van Milligen, City Ma~a7J. er Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer cj \d TO: SUBJECT: Lincoln School Area (North Booth Street/Fifth Street/Nevada Street) Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) INTRODUCTION A petition for a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) designation around Lincoln School (North Booth Street, Fifth Street, and Nevada Street) was received by City staff on November 3, 2005. BACKGROUND A Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) has been requested between the hours of 7 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. As noted on the petition, the requested boundaries of the RPPD include portions of North Booth Street, Fifth Street, and Nevada Street. The petition requirements are established by Section 32-383, Paragraph 1 of the City Code which states in part that 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 at least 60% of the dwelling units in the residential area. Having received 70% signatures, it was determined that the study could proceed for the petition. According to Paragraph 2 of Section 32-383, at least 80% of the curbside parking spaces of the parking permit district must be utilized during the peak periods. There are 94 potential parking spaces in the area requested for designation. 75 vehicles would need to be occupying the curb side parking to fulfill the 80% requirement. Several visits were made to the area to count the number of vehicles utilizing the street parking. Since the results failed to meet the 80% occupancy criterion set forth in the City Code, the lead petitioner, Mr. John Kompare, was notified. It is his request that the study be postponed until spring, 2006, when there may be a greater number of vehicles parking in the proposed RPPD. RECOMMENDATION Based on an 50% parking utilization, I cannot recommend the approval of the request for the Residential Parking Permit District. However, the Engineering Department is willing to contact the lead petitioner in the spring, 2006, to reconsider the RPPD request. ACTION TO BE TAKEN No action is required by the City Council.

Results so far have failed to meet the 80% occupancy criterion set forth in the City Code. The lead petitioner, John Kompare, was contacted about the results. He has requested the study be postponed until spring when he thinks more vehicles could be parking on the street. If staff were to make a recommendation based on current findings the City Code would not allow a recommendation for approval. The petition would then be denied. If you accept Mr. Kompare's request to postpone the study, I think it should be made known to the City Council.
