A. Any person or person(s) seeking formation of a residential permit parking district shall submit to the City Manager a detailed description of parking issues in a residential area attributed to non-residents and a petition on a form provided by City staff. The petition shall include proposed boundaries, dates and times of restriction. The petition must be signed by residents of at least 50 percent of the dwelling units in the area proposed for designation and shall be subject to City verification.

B. Upon receipt of a petition satisfying the requirements set forth in subsection (A) of this section, the City Manager shall undertake or cause to be undertaken surveys or studies as are deemed necessary to determine whether a residential area is eligible for consideration as a residential permit parking district. Eligibility shall be determined using objective criteria to evaluate whether or not such residential area is materially, adversely impacted by the parking of non-resident vehicles on public streets within the area for any extended or continuous period during the day or night. City shall endeavor to complete such surveys or studies within 90 days of receipt of a qualified petition.

C. Within 30 days of the completion of the eligibility analysis, the City Manager shall endeavor to hold a community meeting or meetings on the subject of the eligibility and, assuming eligibility can be established, such other matters that the City Manager shall deem necessary and appropriate to clarify the proposal, and to help in the development of the City Manager’s recommendation on the proposed district. Such matters may include boundaries for the proposed residential permit parking area, the appropriate area prohibition or time limitation on parking and the period of the day for its application, and/or other details of a permit parking program. Such matters may also include discussions of consistency with the “designation criteria” provided in CVMC 10.87.070.

D. Within 60 days of a community meeting on a district proposal, the City Manager shall endeavor to hold a public hearing or hearings on the subject matter of eligibility at the Safety Commission and shall present a recommendation on a district proposal to the Safety Commission.

E. The City Manager shall direct staff and staff shall cause notice of such Safety Commission public hearing or hearings to be conspicuously posted in the proposed residential permit parking district.

F. The notice shall clearly state the purpose of the Safety Commission public hearing, the location and boundaries tentatively considered for the proposed residential permit parking district and, if applicable, the permit fee to be charged. During such hearing or hearings, any interested person may be entitled to appear and be heard, subject to appropriate rules of order adopted by the City Manager or the Safety Commission. (Ord. 3356 § 1, 2015).
