February 12, 2007
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Phyllrich Drive
A petition was received to establish a Residential Parking Permit District (RPPD) on
Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive.
The City's parking study of this area indicates that during the requested time period, at
least 80% of the curbside spaces were utilized, and at least 25% of such curbside
parking spaces were utilized by non-resident parkers. The petition, therefore, meets the
requirements of the RPPD ordinance.
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval of the establishment of
a Residential Parking Permit District on Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and
Keymont Drive between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, except Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays and that a public hearing be set for March 5, 2007.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Phyllrich Drive
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to an October 18, 2006 petition to establish a Residential
Parking Permit District (RPPD) on Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and
Keymont 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 of 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 October 18, 2006, represents in excess of
60 percent (60%) of the dwelling units along Phyllrich Drive between Keystone
Drive and Keymont 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. daily, 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.
At its August 7, 2006 meeting, the City Council adopted an ordinance designating
as Residential Parking Permit District H, Vizaleea Drive and Keymont Drive from
Keyway Drive to its westerly terminus. At its December 4, 2006 meeting, the City
Council adopted an ordinance designating as Residential Parking Permit District
H, Hansel Drive between Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive. The time and days
requested by the petitioners on Phyllrich Drive correspond to those in District H.
Therefore, Phyllrich Drive, if approved, should be added to District H.
RECOMMENDATION
Since the parking study indicates that the parking conditions on Phyllrich Drive
meet the criteria necessary for the establishment of a Residential Parking Permit
District, I recommend that Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and Keymont
Drive be designated as a RPPD. I also recommend that the district parking
regulations be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, except Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays.
I would further recommend that the City Council set a public hearing on the
designation of Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive, as a
Residential Parking Permit District between the hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily,
except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. 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 daily except Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution setting a public
hearing on March 5, 2007 on the proposed Residential Parking Permit District on
Phyllrich Drive between Keystone Drive and Keymont Drive.
