BACKGROUND:

Since 2016, City staff has initiated several efforts to increase the amount and turnover of public parking in Old Town. These efforts include:

 July 2016 – The City leased 18 parking spaces via a shared par king agreement (Agreement No. 2016-142) with Community West Bancshares (CWB).

 October 2017 – The City closed escrow on 17 parking spaces wit hin the Orange Avenue Lot.

 December 2017 – City Council established a 90-minute time limi t for these public parking lots from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., except Sundays and holidays. City Council also directed staff to develop op tions for on-street locations to implement 90- minute time limits.

 March 2018 to September 2018 – City staff worked with the comm unity to develop on-street time limit parking options. A 90-minute time limit along Hollister Avenue and up to one block to the north and south was the consensus of this process.

 February 2019 – Staff presented City Council with two 90-minut e time limit options along with the addition of red curb at intersections for safety . T h i s w o u l d h a v e resulted in the reduction of 30 on-street parking spaces; therefore, this project was not implemented.

 March 2019 to October 2022 – Staff’s focus shifted to increasi ng available parking in Old Town with angled parking as proposed in the Hollister Avenue Complete Streets Plan and the creation of the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project.

On October 27, 2022, City Council selected a striping alternative for Old Town Hollister Avenue that will add approximately 20 parking spaces and implement 90-minute parking time limits. However, this project will take up to 8 months to complete design, bidding, and construction. Given the immediate need and community consensus for a 90-minute parking time limit, staff is rec ommending the implementation of the 90-minute parking time limits in advance of the Hollister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping capital improvement project. The proposed Resolution No. 22-__ entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Golet a, California, Establishing Parking Restrictions on Specified Streets and Street Segm ents in Old Town Goleta;” is p rovided as Attachment

1. DISCUSSION:

To promote parking turnover and improve parking availability, s taff recommends implementing 90-minute time limits along Hollister Avenue between Orange Avenue and Kinman Avenue and on side streets up to one block north and south of Hollister Avenue, as shown in Attachment 1. Attachment 1 also documents the location of green zones (20- minute time limit), yellow commercial loading zones, and red zo nes (no stopping any time). Additional red curb is recommended to improve sight distance and reduce the frequency of collisions at intersections. The plan will reduce the overall number of parking spaces by fourteen (14) spaces – far fewer than the thirty (30) -space reduction proposed in 2019. These lost spaces will be recouped as a part of the Ho llister Avenue Old Town Interim Striping Project that is currently scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2023.

Public Works will work closely w ith the Community Relations dep artment to inform the public about the proposed changes to parking regulations in Old Town.

Municipal Code Amendment

2 Meeting Date: December 20, 2022

Page 3 of 5 ends

In order to promote parking tu rnover, staff recommends the adoption of an ordinance to amend Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 10.01 (Attachment 2) requiring vehicles parked in areas with time-restricted parking to not “repark” within the same block where the vehicle initially parked. The proposed or dinance seeks to increase park ing availability by prohibiting drivers from re-parki ng their vehicles in the same general space or immediately nearby. For reference, most block faces on Hollister Avenue where cars can park are less than 300 feet, requir ing a driver to move their v ehicle to another block. A redlined version of the ordinance is provided in Attachment 3.

Actual Sign Language for Resolution Purposes

Staff recommends the following enforcement language for the on-street parking signs to be consistent with the City-cont rolled off-street parking space s (Resolution No. 17-51) and that they include directional arrows as shown in the following image:

90-Minute Parking 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., this block, except Sunday and holidays.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

Installation of approximately fifty (50) signs and posts, especially those that need to be cored into the existing sidewalk, will be beyond the capabiliti es of Street Maintenance Staff. To expedite the process, staff can order the signs and p osts and negotiate an agreement with a contractor to install the signs under a purchase order, as allowed under Municipal Code Section 3.05.190. Public Works staff has received a quote of $7,000 for the signs and poles, including a dditional inventory for the rep lacement of damaged or vandalized signs. The cost of the installation is estimated to be under the $60,000 City Manager contract approval authorit y for public work contracts. The total project cost for design, construction and materials is $72,000 as shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Project Cost and Funding Estimates

Project Components Estimated Costs Funding Sources Funding Amounts
Design $5,000 General Fund $5,000
Construction (materials
+ installation
) $67,000 General Fund $67,000
Total project cost: $72,000 Total: $72,000

Project Funding

The Fiscal Year 2022/23 current a vailable budget under Street M aintenance is $18,875 in General Fund (101) and this funding needs to be kept in rese rve to address maintenance needs for the remainder of the fiscal year. As show n i n T a b l e 2 b e l o w , additional funding of $67,000 is needed to support the total estimated project construction costs of $72,000. The $5,000 for design of the project will com e from Stantec’s existing Traffic Engineering Support Agreement #2022-062 GL #101-50-5200-51200.

Table 2: Project Funding

ALTERNATIVES:

Council could elect to change the extent of time-limited parkin g or not proceed with the implementation of time-limited parking. If this were to occur, the construction costs would decrease or increase in proportion to the number of street segments included.

The Ordinance is also exempt from C EQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA G uidelines because the activity is covered by the general rule which exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment.
