Van Milligen MCVM:jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Teri Goodmann, Assistant City Manager Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer , RE: Marjorie Circle: Residential Parking Permit District Amendment DATE: November 26, 2012 INTRODUCTION Dubuque bitd AI- AmeiIcany 2012 The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City Council with information related to public hearing for an amendment to change a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD), "District D," by adding Marjorie Circle from Pennsylvania Avenue to Amy Court and modifying the existing time /day exceptions on Amy Court from Marjorie Circle to northern terminus and Lucy Drive from Pennsylvania Avenue to Welu Drive. BACKGROUND In 1985, the City adopted an ordinance providing for the establishment of Residential Parking Permit Districts. 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. To be eligible for a RPPD designation, the proposed district must include at least four (4) block faces or contain 50 parking spaces, must have at least 80 percent (80 %) of the curbside parking utilized during peak periods, and must have at least 25 percent (25 %) of such utilization by non - residents of the area. 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. Upon designation as an RPPD, no one can park curbside in the district during the restricted hours without a residential or guest parking permit. DISCUSSION The petition which was submitted on May 11, 2012 represents in excess of 60 percent (60 %) of the dwelling units along Marjorie Circle between Pennsylvania Avenue and Amy Court, Amy Court from Marjorie Circle to northern terminus, and Lucy Drive from Pennsylvania Avenue to Welu Drive, as is required under the ordinance. The petition requests that the parking restriction be effective between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. during school days only. The existing RPPD hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The City's parking study of this area indicates that during the requested time period, at least 80 percent (80 %) of the curbside spaces were utilized, and at least 25 percent (25 %) of such curbside parking spaces were utilized by non - resident parkers. The petition, therefore, meets the requirements of the RPPD ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Since the parking study indicates that the parking conditions on Marjorie Circle meet the criteria necessary for the establishment of a Residential Parking Permit District, I recommend that Marjorie Circle between Pennsylvania Avenue and Amy Court be amended to RPPD "District D." Given the fact that Amy Court and Lucy Drive have met the criteria in the past, I also recommend that existing "District D," along with the amended Marjorie Circle, have parking regulations be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days only. I would further recommend that the City Council hold a public hearing on the establishment of Marjorie Circle between Pennsylvania Avenue and Amy Court, along with the amendment of Amy Court from Marjorie Circle to northern terminus and Lucy Drive from Pennsylvania Avenue to Welu Drive, as a Residential Parking Permit District between the hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days. After the public hearing, the City Council may reject the petition, adopt an ordinance designating the proposed area as a Residential Parking Permit, or adopt an ordinance modifying the proposed district. The City Council may also adopt alternate hours other than the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. parking restriction on school days. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The City Council is requested to approve and adopt the attached resolution for the proposed Residential Parking Permit District Amendment on Marjorie Circle from Pennsylvania Avenue to Amy Court, Amy Court from Marjorie Circle to northern terminus, and Lucy Drive from Pennsylvania Avenue to Welu Drive as a Residential Parking Permit District between the hours of 7a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days.
