Residential preferential parking zones are intended to restore and enhance the quality of life in residential neighborhoods by reducing the impact of parking associated with nearby businesses and institutional uses. The procedures and standards in this chapter are intended to provide flexibility so that the City Council may adopt by resolution, after consultation with residents and neighboring businesses and institutions, preferential parking zones that appropriately protect each neighborhood's unique characteristics. Residential preferential parking zones should be designed to accommodate non- residential parking when this can be done while meeting the parking availability standards determined by the City to be appropriate for the zone in question. Residential preferential parking zones may be designed to reduce non-residential parking overtime to give non-residential parkers time to find other modes of transportation or parking locations.

As hereinafter used in this article, the following words are defined as follows: a) "Director" shall mean the Director of Public Works. b) "Dwelling unit" shall mean a self-contained house, apartment, stock cooperative unit, or condominium unit occupied by a single household exclusively for residential purposes. These residential purposes may include lawful home occupations. c) "Employee permit" shall mean a permit issued to an employee working at a business located within an RPP Zone or as defined in an RPP Zone -specific resolution. d) "Guest permit" shall mean a permit issued to a Resident on an annual basis for use by a person visiting a dwelling unit in an RPP Zone or for workers providing services such as caregiving, gardening, repair maintenance and construction, to the Resident.

The City Council may designate an area as a Residential Preferential Parking Zone based upon any one or more of the following criteria: (1) That non-resident vehicles do, or may, substantially interfere with the use of on -street or alley parking spaces by neighborhood residents; (2) That the interference by the non-resident vehicles occurs at regular and frequent intervals, either daily or weekly; (3) That the non-resident vehicles parked in the area of the proposed zone create traffic congestion, noise, or other disruption (including shortage of parking spaces for residents and their visitors) that disrupts neighborhood life; (4) Other alternative parking strategies are not feasible or practical. In considering whether to create an RPP Zone, City staff shall undertake an analysis that includes, at a minimum, a narrative describing the nature and perceived source of non-resident parking impact, as well as suggested zone boundaries and hours of enforcement.

STAFF REPORT City Council Agenda Item Report Agenda Item No. CO V-172-2018 Submitted by: Daniel Wall Submitting Department: Public Works Meeting Date: June 19, 2018 SUBJECT Ordinance No. 1254 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, adding Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code to Establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones and repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict therewith Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA') review, because it is not a `project" under CEQA, which is defined as an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. See CEQA Guidelines section 15378. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a "project," under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the ordinance would be exempt from CEQA review, because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, especially where, as here, adoption of the ordinance is being pursued to provide the legal basis for the City to designate preferential parking zones. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possbility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the proposed ordinance involves amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, and the establishment of Preferential Parking Zones, which would authorize the City to adopt a resolution designating a specific area as a preferential parking zone and will not have any effect on the environment; and B. Approve the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1254 amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, by adding Article VIII to establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones. Backgroud: Vernon's uniform parking restrictions reflect the industrial nature of the City. While these restrictions serve our businesses well, they place a burden on our residents by restricting on -street parking adjacent to their homes. In order to provide the opportunity for residents to park near their homes, while continuing to restrict parking by non-residents, it is necessary to amend the municipal code to allow for the establishment of preferential parking districts. Staff proposes the following changes to Chapter 22 Streets and Sidewalks of the Municipal Code, in salient part: • The City Council may adopt a resolution designating any area as a preferential parking zone. The resolution shall state the boundaries of the area, applicable parking regulations, and any fees to be charged for permits. • The City Council may by resolution modify or terminate a preferential parking zone. • The Public Works Director shall issue a preferential parking permit upon submittal of a completed application, proof of residency in the preferential parking zone, proof of vehicle registration to a residence in the preferential parking zone, and payment of any fee as prescribed by resolution of the City Council. - Preferential parking permits are issued to the vehicle and are not transferable. - Preferential Parking Permits Must be renewed annually. - Permits issued for preferential parking zones shall not be valid in loading zones or areas where parking or stopping is prohibited as posted or painted on curbs. - No vehicle shall be parked or stopped adjacent to any curb in a preferential parking zone, unless such vehicle has a valid and current preferential parking permit, or is otherwise exempt. The above proposed changes to the Municipal Code provide the City Council with the flexibility to meet the parking needs of our residents and the transportation needs of our businesses. "Note: Item was presented for Public Hearing and First Reading to City Council at its Regular Meeting of June 5, 2018. Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact. ATTACHMENTS • 1.

PROPOSED CEQA FINDING: Staff will recommend that the City Council find that this action is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because this ordinance is not a "project" under CEQA, which is defined as a whole of an action directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Even if the ordinance were to be considered a "project" under CEQA, which is not the case, the ordinance would be covered by the general rule set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(bx3) which provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Here, the ordinance involves amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, and the establishment of Preferential Parking "Zones, which would authorize the City to adopt a resolution designating a specific area as a preferential parking zone and will not have any effect on the environment. If you challenge the adoption of an Ordinance to establish preferential parking zones in Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, and repealing all prior ordinances and part of ordinances in conflict therewith or any provision thereof in court, you rnay be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Vernon at, or prior to, the meeting.
