ENGINEER
DATE: APRIL 9, 2024
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHMENT OF A RESIDENTIAL PREFERENTIAL PARKING DISTRICT
ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF BAYSINGER STREET BETWEEN
VULTEE AVENUE AND HALEDON AVENUE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution to establish a residential preferential parking district on the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing concerning a resolution establishing a residential preferential parking district on the north and south side of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 24-8237, establishing a Residential Preferential Parking District on the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue.
BACKGROUND
On November 13, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 18-1402, establishing residential preferential parking program regulations for the City of Downey. In order to establish a residential preferential parking district, a minimum number of property owners must request the program, and the district must meet specific requirements. Among the findings required for establishment of a district are:
• A petition containing the signature, printed name, date of signing, and address of owners of at least 75% of the dwelling units within the proposed district in support of the proposal.

• The proposed parking district is predominantly residential and includes whole blocks and both sides of a street unless the City Traffic Engineer determines this to be impractical or undesirable.
• There exists a shortage of reasonably available and convenient residential-related parking spaces in the proposed district.
• At least 75% of the on-street parking spaces within the proposed district boundaries are occupied during the time of the requested parking prohibition or restriction.
• A minimum of 50% of the vehicles parked on the street during the proposed restricted or prohibited parking hours must be registered to non-residents of the proposed district.
• A determination by the City Traffic Engineer that the size and boundaries of the proposed district constitute a self-contained area and would not result in shifting the parking problem to an adjacent area.
• No alternative solution is practical or reasonable.
ANALYSIS
A request was received for the establishment of a preferential parking district with an overnight parking prohibition from 2:00 AM-6:00 AM every day as requested by the residents, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, on the north and south sides of the 9030 - 9150 block of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue to provide on-street parking relief for the residents of this block of Baysinger Street due to overflowing on-street parking from nearby apartment buildings located on Florence Avenue and, consequently, have been experiencing late night disturbances due to noise and other nuisances (i.e., vehicles being parked too close to driveways, trash left behind, etc.). Staff subsequently proceeded with the evaluation of the proposed preferential parking district. Based on field observations and measurements, there are 61 on-street parking spaces, of which 38 on-street parking spaces will be impacted by the proposed location for the establishment of a preferential parking district on the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue. The boundaries of the proposed preferential parking district on Baysinger Street are shown in Attachment A.
The Police Department conducted a license plate survey within the proposed preferential parking district area on June 15, 2023 and June 16, 2023, between the hours of 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM. This task involved running each of the license plate numbers for all the vehicles parked within the proposed preferential parking district area during the proposed hours of the parking prohibition through the DMV database to determine which of parked

vehicles were registered to owners residing within the proposed preferential parking district boundaries. The results of the survey are summarized in the table below:

* Based on the number of total parking spaces within the proposed preferential parking district boundaries. ** Based on the number of occupied parking spaces within the proposed preferential parking district boundaries.
The City subsequently received a petition (Attachment B) from the registered owners of the single-family residential properties on Baysinger Street, north and south sides, between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue, requesting an overnight parking prohibition between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM every day including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and the establishment of a preferential parking district. The petition was signed by 16 out of 21 total property owners, or 76%, with all 16 in favor of the proposal.
Based on a review of the criteria established by Ordinance No. 18-1402, the data summarized in the table above, and the petition received from the residents, staff has verified that the minimum criteria and necessary level of support by the residents have been met and that the proposed boundaries of the preferential parking district constitute a reasonably self-contained area. Therefore, staff recommends, through the adoption of the attached resolution (Attachment C), the establishment of a residential permit parking district and the implementation of the parking prohibition between the hours 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM every day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, within the proposed boundaries.
Provided that the City Council approves the establishment of the preferential parking district and at least 50% of residents apply for parking permits within 60 days of passage of the establishing resolution, signs establishing the parking prohibition between the hours of 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM with an exemption for permitted vehicles will be posted. Permits may then be purchased by residents residing within the proposed district at a cost of $50 annually based on the current fee schedule. If fewer than 50% of residents obtain permits or if the number of permit holders falls below 50%, the City Council may repeal the residential preferential parking permit district during a public hearing noticed at least 10 days in advance.

In addition, a preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council through a noticed public hearing upon receipt and verification of a petition signed by a majority (50% plus one) of the property owners within an established district. Such determination shall be based upon a finding that the conditions set forth in the establishing resolution no longer exist or have diminished to such extent that the continuation of the district is unnecessary.
The Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment D) for this item was published in the Downey Patriot on March 28, 2024. In addition, public hearing notices (Attachment E) were mailed to the owners and occupants of all properties located within 400 feet of the boundaries of the proposed residential preferential parking district in accordance with Section 3199.6(c)(4) of the City’s Preferential Parking Ordinance (No. 18-1402).
The proposed preferential parking district is categorically exempt per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301(C), Existing Facilities.

RESOLUTION NO. 24-8237
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
ESTABLISHING A RESIDENTIAL PREFERENTIAL PARKING DISTRICT ON
THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF BAYSINGER STREET BETWEEN
VULTEE AVENUE AND HALEDON AVENUE
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 18-1402 on November 13, 2018 establishing a program for residential preferential parking districts, as codified at Downey Municipal Code section 3199.6; and
WHEREAS, the City has received a petition to create a residential preferential parking district comprised of the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue from at least 75% of the property owners in this area; and
WHEREAS, DMC Section 3199.6(c)(2) requires that certain criteria be met before a residential preferential parking district can be established, including the following: (1) At least 75% of the on-street parking spaces within the proposed district boundaries are occupied during the time of the requested parking prohibition or restriction; (2) A minimum of 50% of the vehicle parking spaces within the proposed restricted or prohibited parking hours must be registered to nonresidents of the proposed district; and (3) A petition is received from the owners of at least 75% of the dwelling units within the proposed district who are in support of the proposal; and
WHEREAS, after review of the application, the required criteria set forth in Downey Municipal Code Section 3199.6(c)(2) has been met as follows:
(i) The proposed permitted parking district is at least three quarters, seventy-five percent (75%), single-family residential and includes whole blocks. For purposes of this section, “whole block” shall be defined as the entire portion of a street block from intersection to intersection. The proposed parking district shall also include both sides of a street, unless the City Traffic Engineer determines this to be impractical or undesirable. The proposed application meets this criterion because the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street is at least 75% composed of single-family residential uses and the proposed permitted parking district is 100% composed of single-family homes within the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street.
(ii) Multi-family properties, if any, within the proposed district boundaries consist of duplexes, triplexes of fourplexes only. The proposed application meets this criterion because the proposed permitted parking district is composed of single-family homes and no multi-family properties exist within the proposed district boundaries.
(iii) At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the on-street parking spaces within the proposed district boundaries are occupied during the time of the requested parking prohibition or restriction. The proposed application meets this criterion based on a license plate survey conducted by the Police Department within the proposed preferential parking district area on June 15, 2023 and June 16, 2023, which disclosed that 89% and 87% of the parking spaces were occupied, respectively, during the time of the requested parking prohibition or restriction.
(iv) A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the vehicle parking spaces within the proposed restricted or prohibited parking hours must be registered to nonresidents of the proposed district.
For purposes of this section, “nonresident” shall be defined as an individual who resides outside of the district boundaries. The proposed application meets this criterion based on the license plate
RESOLUTION NO. 24-8237
PAGE 2
survey referenced in part (iii) which disclosed that 76% and 52% of the parking spaces were occupied by non-residents, respectively.
(v) A determination by the City Traffic Engineer that the size and boundaries of the proposed district provides a self-contained area and would not result in shifting the parking problem to an adjacent area. The proposed application meets this criterion because the single family residential properties within the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street will be included within the boundaries of the proposed district. City staff has determined that the size and boundaries of the proposed residential preferential parking district would reasonably constitute a self-contained area, and therefore, the establishment of said district within the aforementioned boundaries will be effective in terms of addressing the on-street overflow parking issue which exists at this location.
(vi) The street block in question is a designated residential street. For purposes of this section, “residential street” shall be defined as any street located within an area zoned as residential which does not appear on the Circulation Plan contained within the Circulation chapter of the City’s adopted General Plan. The proposed application meets this criterion because Baysinger Street is a designated residential street.
(vii) No alternative solution is practical or reasonable. The proposed application meets this criterion because no other feasible measure will be equally effective in terms of providing on- street parking relief for the residents of the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street.
(viii) Such other criteria as the City Traffic Engineer determines necessary, including, but not limited to:
(A) The extent to which vehicles owned by residents of the area could be accommodated by off-street parking spaces. The City Traffic Engineer found that the vehicles owned by residents of the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street could reasonably be accommodated by off-street parking spaces; however, overflow parking from nearby uses within the area is creating a hardship for the residents who, as a result, are unable to provide parking for their guests and have difficulty entering and exiting their properties due to the congested on-street parking conditions.
(B) The location and number of parking spaces available that would be displaced in the proposed permit parking district. The City Traffic Engineer found that a total of approximately 26 vehicles would be displaced from the proposed permit parking district to other areas. Based on overall observations of on-site and off-site parking conditions in the area, it was concluded that the parking demand for the 26 displaced vehicles could reasonably be accommodated in nearby areas outside of the proposed permit parking district boundaries.
WHEREAS, this item was presented to the Public Works Committee on February 15, 2024, which recommended adoption by the City Council, after holding a public hearing, of a resolution establishing a residential preferential parking district on the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the notice for the mandated public hearing associated with the establishment of the Residential Preferential Parking District was published in the Downey Patriot on March 28, 2024 and the public hearing was subsequently held in the Council Chambers of the City Hall at 11111 Brookshire Avenue, Downey, California on April 9, 2024 at a regular meeting of the Downey City Council.
RESOLUTION NO. 24-8237
PAGE 3
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has carefully considered the on-street parking occupancy survey results and the petition circulated to the properties within the boundaries of the proposed residential preferential parking district and finds that the establishment of a residential preferential parking district meets the criteria set forth in Downey Municipal Code section 3199.6(c)(2) and is sufficiently supported by the facts and evidence presented with this application and during the hearing.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Downey hereby adopts the findings set forth herein and approves the establishment of the proposed residential preferential parking district comprised of the north and south sides of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue.
SECTION 3. Parking permits must be issued to at least 50% of residents eligible for permits before signs designating the preferential parking district will be installed. Permits may be purchased by and issued to eligible residents in accordance with the Downey Municipal Code and/or City policy. If the minimum number of permits is not obtained within 60 days, or the number of permit holders drops below 50% following annual permit renewals, the residential preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing.
SECTION 4. The preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council through a noticed public hearing upon receipt and verification of a petitioned signed by a majority (50% plus one) of the property owners within an established district. Such determination shall be based upon a finding that the conditions set forth in the establishing resolution no longer exist or have diminished to such extent that the continuation of the district is unnecessary.
SECTION 5. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, this action is categorically exempt from further review under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 1 – Existing Facilities). Class 1 exemption applies to the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution which shall be effective upon its adoption.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this _ day of , 2024.

CITY OF DOWNEYNotice of Public Hearing
Establishment of Residential Preferential Parking District on Baysinger Street
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT
THE City of Downey will be conducting
a public hearing for the purpose of answering questions and accepting comments on the findings and recommendations of the city regarding the establishment of a preferential
parking district on both sides of the
9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue in accordance with Section 22507(a) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and Ordinance No. 18-1402
adopted by the City Council of the City
of Downey on November 13, 2018.
On-street parking conditions along the aforementioned portion of Baysinger Street have become more impacted
recently due to overflow parking
from nearby uses, hence resulting in nuisances for the residents along the aforementioned limits of the street. Subsequently, a request for the establishment of a residential
preferential parking district and
parking prohibition between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM was received from the residents. An investigation by city staff was conducted and verified that the criteria as defined by City
Ordinance No. 18-1402 have been met
for the establishment of said residential preferential parking district and accompanying parking prohibition. In addition, a petition was received from the occupants of the single
family residential properties of the
proposed preferential parking district on Baysinger Street showing the necessary contact rate and level of support for the establishment of the district and parking prohibition. Staff
has also verified that the boundaries of
the proposed residential preferential parking district represent a reasonably self-contained area and that the district and parking prohibition will be effective in addressing the on-street overflow
parking issue on Baysinger Street.
Upon the conclusion of the public hearing and adoption of a resolution by the City Council establishing the proposed residential preferential
parking district and accompanying
parking prohibition and verification that a minimum of 50% of the residents apply for parking permits within 60 days of the passage of the resolution, signs establishing the residential
preferential parking district and
parking prohibition will be posted along the aforementioned portion of Baysinger Street. Up to two residential permits and one guest permit per household may then be purchased by
residents residing within the district.
If fewer than 50% of residents obtain permits, or if the number of permit holders falls below 50%, however, the City Council may repeal the residential preferential parking district during a
public hearing noticed at least 10 days
in advance.
In addition, the preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council through
a noticed public hearing upon receipt
and verification of a petition signed by a majority (50% plus one) of the property owners within the district. Such determination shall be based upon a finding that the conditions set forth
in the establishing resolution no longer
exist or have diminished to such extent that the continuation of the district is unnecessary.
A public hearing of the City Council of the City of Downey to consider the establishment of a residential preferential parking district on both sides of the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and
Haledon Avenue will be held at the City of Downey Council Chambers, located at 11111 Brookshire Avenue, Downey, CA 90241, on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 6:30 PM. All evidence and testimony for or against the establishment of said
residential preferential parking district will be considered. All persons desiring to comment on, or having objections to, said residential preferential parking district may appear and be heard before the City Council of the City of
Downey at the time and place of the hearing.

Notice of Public Hearing
Establishment of Residential Preferential Parking District on Baysinger Street
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE City of Downey will be conducting a public hearing for the purpose of answering questions and accepting comments on the findings and recommendations of the city regarding the establishment of a preferential parking district on both sides of the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue in accordance with Section 22507(a) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and Ordinance No. 18-1402 adopted by the City Council of the City of Downey on November 13, 2018.
On-street parking conditions along the aforementioned portion of Baysinger Street have become more impacted recently due to overflow parking from nearby uses, hence resulting in nuisances for the residents along the aforementioned limits of the street. Subsequently, a request for the establishment of a residential preferential parking district and parking prohibition between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM was received from the residents. An investigation by city staff was conducted and verified that the criteria as defined by City Ordinance No. 18-1402 have been met for the establishment of said residential preferential parking district and accompanying parking prohibition. In addition, a petition was received from the occupants of the single-family residential properties of the proposed preferential parking district on Baysinger Street showing the necessary contact rate and level of support for the establishment of the district and parking prohibition. Staff has also verified that the boundaries of the proposed residential preferential parking district represent a reasonably self-contained area and that the district and parking prohibition will be effective in addressing the on-street overflow parking issue on Baysinger Street.
Upon the conclusion of the public hearing and adoption of a resolution by the City Council establishing the proposed residential preferential parking district and accompanying parking prohibition and verification that a minimum of 50% of the residents apply for parking permits within 60 days of the passage of the resolution, signs establishing the residential preferential parking district and parking prohibition will be posted along the aforementioned portion of Baysinger Street. Up to two residential permits and one guest permit per household may then be purchased by residents residing within the district. If fewer than 50% of residents obtain permits, or if the number of permit holders falls below 50%, however, the City Council may repeal the residential preferential parking district during a public hearing noticed at least 10 days in advance.

Notice of Public Hearing
Establishment of Residential Preferential Parking District on Baysinger Street April 9, 2024
In addition, the preferential parking district may be terminated by resolution of the City Council through a noticed public hearing upon receipt and verification of a petition signed by a majority (50% plus one) of the property owners within the district. Such determination shall be based upon a finding that the conditions set forth in the establishing resolution no longer exist or have diminished to such extent that the continuation of the district is unnecessary.
A public hearing of the City Council of the City of Downey to consider the establishment of a residential preferential parking district on both sides of the 9030-9150 block of Baysinger Street between Vultee Avenue and Haledon Avenue will be held at the City of Downey Council Chambers, located at 11111 Brookshire Avenue, Downey, CA 90241, on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 at 6:30 PM. All evidence and testimony for or against the establishment of said residential preferential parking district will be considered. All persons desiring to comment on, or having objections to, said residential preferential parking district may appear and be heard before the City Council of the City of Downey at the time and place of the hearing.
