SUBJECT: Temporary On-Street Parking Restrictions for the 2023 Isla Vista “Deltopia” Event
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 23- entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California Establishing Temporary Resident Only On-Street Parking Restrictions Related to the 2023 Isla Vista Deltopia Event.”
BACKGROUND:
In most years, the City experiences impacts from unsanctioned Isla Vista events. Over the past several years, for both the Fall Hallowe en event and the Spring Deltopia event, a temporary permit -only on-street parking program for residents was implemented for each event and has been deemed successful.
Deltopia is usually held the weekend after students return from their Spring break.
Deltopia 2023 is anticipated for Friday, April 7th through Sunday, April 9th. In past years, an estimated 25,000 people have passed through Goleta for this Isla Vista event.
One of the significant impacts from these Isla Vista events has been parking overflow into the University 1-2 neighborhoods in Goleta, and associated noise and other disturbances from individuals returning from Isla Vista to their vehicles in the late even ing and early morning hours. Based on comments from residents, and positive feedback from the Sheriff’s Department and City Staff during the event, the temporary parking restrictions were effective in deterring non -residents from parking in Goleta neighbor hoods to participate in the event. Staff seeks to continue this program for the upcoming Deltopia event to ensure Goleta neighborhoods are protected from negative impacts resulting from this year’s event.
On February 15, 2023 , the Public Safety and Emerge ncy Preparedness Standing Committee discussed the ongoing parking restrictions and recommended going forth with the parking restrictions related to the 2023 Isla Vista Deltopia event. 1 Meeting Date: March 7, 2023
DISCUSSION:
In past years, UCSB has brought in additional police officers from other UC campuses for the Deltopia event and has implemented on-campus parking restrictions for the weekend that Deltopia occurs. UCSB is expected to take the same measures for this spring’s event.
To dissuade partygoers from parking in the Goleta neighborhoods closest to Isla Vista, staff are proposing a temporary on -street resident -only parking restriction for the University 1-2 neighborhoods. The proposed restriction times are from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am on Friday and Saturday nights. The dates of these restrictions are dependent on when the unsanctioned Deltopia event is held. The most likely dates are April 7th through April 9th, but staff are prepared to implement the same restrictions the following week, April 14th through April 16th, should the event take place one week later.
The proposed parking restriction area generally has the following boundaries: Cannon Green Drive to the west, Hollister Avenue to the north, Storke Road to the east and Whittier Drive to the south. A map of the proposed parking restriction area is provided in Attachment 1. This area is comprised of an estimated 1,250 dwelling units representing approximately 4,000 residents. Parking permits will be required to b e taped to the inside of the vehicle’s driver’s side window during the restricted hours. A resolution imposing these restrictions is included for Council’s consideration as Attachment 2 to this report.
The affected streets will be posted in advance to all ow towing consistent with Section 22507 of the California Vehicle Code. Vehicles found parked on any of the streets in the University 1-2 neighborhoods during the restricted times, not displaying the appropriate parking permit, will be subject to ticketing and/or towing. A total of four electronic message boards will also be deployed in several entrances into the University 1 -2 neighborhoods to provide added and visible notification of the parking restrictions.
An outreach effort will be coordinated by the City’s Community Relations Manager, and will include social media notifications, automated phone, email and text messaging, press release, an article in the Monarch Press, postings on Nextdoor, and updates to the City’s website.
Households will be mailed two parking permits. Staff have an accurate mailing list for the entire area, based on information from past events and resident comments.
On the Monday morning following Deltopia, Public Works staff will also go through the subject neighborhoods to remove any trash or debris from the streets.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The City’s adopted Fiscal Year 202 2/23 budget includes $25,000 in account 101 -60- 6100-54006 (Special Event Response) which is intended to cover related expenses for the Fall Halloween event and the Spring Deltopia event. These costs include the printing and mailing of parking permits to residents in the restricted area, posting signs throughout 2 Meeting Date: March 7, 2023
the neighborhoods, and the placement of four electronic message boards at the entrances to the neighborhoods. Approximately $1 4,000 is available for the Spring Deltopia Event.
The additional law enforcement presence in the City related to the upcoming Halloween event will be covered within the City’s Deputy Sheriff Service Unit contract model, without incurring additional charges related to overtime. All tow costs of vehicles parked in violation will be borne by the registered owners of any vehicles towed.
