Item No. 7.2.2
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: June 23, 2026
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Review of Community Survey Results for the Proposed Conversion of the Existing Roller Hockey Rink into Pickleball Courts at the Laguna Hills Community Center, CIP No. 514
Recommendation: Receive and file the survey results regarding the Sports Complex Renovations Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project and provide direction to staff regarding the future use of the Community Center outdoor hockey rink facility and the scope of future improvements.

Background:

The City's Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program includes the Sports Complex Renovations Project with a budget of $242,000. The project description identifies the installation of pickleball courts in lieu of the existing roller hockey rink located at the Laguna Hills Community Center.

The facility is located within an area subject to a joint-use agreement between the City of Laguna Hills and the Saddleback Valley Unified School District (SVUSD). The existing roller hockey rink was originally developed to support roller hockey activities but has evolved into a multi-purpose recreational facility accommodating pickleball, roller derby, roller hockey, and recreational skating activities.

As part of the City's evaluation of the Sports Complex Renovations CIP Project, staff conducted a public survey to gather community feedback regarding the future use of the facility.

Item No. 7.2.2

The outdoor hockey rink currently serves several recreational uses throughout the week.

Approximately
30 participants
The City currently operates a free pickleball program at the facility on Monday and Thursday evenings. Pickleball represents the facility's highest and most consistent level of participation, typically attracting between 30 and 40 participants during each session.

South Coast Roller Derby currently reserves the facility for organized practices three times per week. Participation generally ranges from 10 to 15 individuals per session.

Reservation fees associated with roller derby use generated approximately $4,425 in revenue during the first half of 2026.

Roller hockey activities currently occur during designated recreation periods on

Item No. 7.2.2
Wednesday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. These recreation periods were added in May 2026 in response to requests from a new user group interested in utilizing the facility for roller hockey. Since that time, participation has generally ranged from 10 to 15 participants.

Open skate is available on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Participation during open skate periods is generally minimal.

The facility is also utilized seasonally by Special Olympics Southern California for floorball programming. The program typically operates on Sundays from December through February and serves approximately 30 participants.

SVUSD Coordination
Because the facility is located within a joint-use area owned by Saddleback Valley Unified School District (SVUSD), staff contacted the District regarding the potential future use of the facility. SVUSD indicated that it has no objection to the City evaluating potential future uses of the existing roller hockey rink area and deferred to the City's public outreach and decision-making process regarding the future use of the facility.

Staff will continue to coordinate with SVUSD regarding any future improvements within the joint-use area.

Public Outreach
Survey Distribution and Outreach
The survey was administered through SurveyMonkey and made available to the public from February 20, 2026 through June 9, 2026.

To encourage participation, the City promoted the survey through multiple communication channels, including the City's website, Facebook page, Instagram account, and The Roundup. The survey was also shared through community social media groups, including Residents of Laguna Hills in OC and the Residents of Laguna Hills Instagram account.

A total of 339 survey responses were received, with approximately 81 percent of respondents identifying themselves as Laguna Hills residents.

Survey Results
Survey participants were asked whether they would support using existing CIP funding

Item No. 7.2.2
to convert the outdoor roller hockey rink into permanent pickleball courts.

Approximately 59 percent of respondents indicated support for the proposed conversion while approximately 41 percent opposed the project.

In addition to the survey results, staff received written comments from participants.

Comments supporting the project generally cited growing demand for pickleball, the need for additional court capacity, and the opportunity to provide dedicated facilities for one of the City's most popular recreational activities.

Comments opposing the project generally focused on preserving roller hockey opportunities, maintaining the facility as a multi-purpose recreational space, retaining recreational opportunities for youth users, concerns regarding noise, and identifying alternative locations for future pickleball court development.

Future Facility Use Considerations
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program currently identifies the installation of pickleball courts in lieu of the existing roller hockey rink. Regardless of the future use selected, improvements to the facility may include surface repairs and resurfacing, restriping, fencing repairs, gate and door repairs, and other maintenance improvements necessary to extend the useful life of the facility.

If the facility is converted to a dedicated pickleball facility, improvements could include permanent pickleball court striping, permanent net systems, court separation fencing, and other amenities designed specifically for pickleball use. Conversion to a dedicated pickleball facility would eliminate the ability to continue roller derby, roller hockey, and open skate activities in their current form at this location. Conversion would also eliminate the need for court setup and takedown and maximize the facility's availability for pickleball programming and open play.

Alternatively, the facility could continue to operate as a multi-use recreational facility.

Under this approach, improvements would focus on rehabilitation of the existing facility while preserving accommodations for pickleball, roller derby, roller hockey, and open skate activities. Potential improvements could include resurfacing the existing playing surface, restriping for multiple recreational uses, repairs to fencing and gates, replacement or repair of rink boards, and other improvements necessary to maintain the facility as a flexible recreational space. While this approach would preserve existing recreational opportunities and maintain flexibility, it would continue to require scheduling of multiple user groups.

Survey results and written comments are provided for City Council's consideration in

Item No. 7.2.2
evaluating the future use of the facility.

Staff has completed the initial outreach and information-gathering phase of the project, including coordination with Saddleback Valley Unified School District, evaluation of current facility use, and public outreach through an online survey. Staff is seeking City Council feedback regarding the future use of the facility and the scope of future improvements.

Fiscal Impact:

The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program includes $242,000 for the Sports Complex Renovations Project, currently described as the installation of pickleball courts in lieu of the existing roller hockey rink. No additional appropriation is requested as part of this item.

There's already pickleball courts up the street at Laguna Nigel Regional Park. There's no place to play hockey. Just clean it up and keep the skateboarders and wannabee cholos out.

Yes NoYes NoYes No

Yes No The kids need places to play.

No No
The outdoor roller rink still has a community interest. And with so few other outdoor rinks in the OC, you would be eliminating another opportunity for the roller hockey/ roller skating community. There is still public desire for outdoor skate rinks.

No NoNo No
Keep the rink! Offer programming, OC has a thriving ice hockey community and many get their start in roller …pickleball is already everywhere, be different Yes No
We have almost nowhere to play hockey and you want to take the rink and turn it into pickleball courts? They have sooooooo many places to play already, they don’t need the rink. Skaters need the rink, players need the rink, pickle ballers can play elsewhere, we cannot. If you decide to move forward with this change, it shows so much of how Laguna Hills treats its residents.

Yes NoYes No
No No Keep hockey rink
Yes NoYes No There’s so many pickleball courts in OC. We don’t need moreYes NoYes No Myself and a large group of roller hockey players would like to restore the rink! No No
We live an Aliso Viejo. All three of my kids play roller hockey. There are not as many rinks as there are frounds to play pickleball. We would love to have access to the local rink. Given that roller hockey is picking up it's popularity and the pickleball is on decline, it makes no sense to change the rink to pickleball court! Yes NoYes YesYes YesYes No Keep it versatile. It converts to a pickleball now but also used for other things. Why do we have to be like every other city.Yes YesYes YesYes Yes No Yes Please

I would love to see pickleball courts, but not sure at the expense of the hockey rink. I do not know how often the hockey rink is utilized, but hate to take away something. I would LOVE pickleball courts though somewhere else! No
I respectfully disagree with this proposal. The hockey ramps provide entertainment and enjoyment for our children, and they contribute positively to the appearance of the space. I believe there are more impactful ways to invest these funds, such as improving the small library we currently have for our community. Enhancing the library would benefit a wider range of families and create long-term educational value. Thank you for considering this perspective.

I’d like to suggest a multi-purpose court so we can keep one of the only spaces we can play roller derby in south Orange County.

Item No. 7.2.3
City of Laguna Hills
City Council / Planning Agency
Staff Report
Date: June 23, 2026
To: Mayor and Council Members
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Review of Citywide Parking and Street Sweeping Issues, and a Resolution Removing the Overnight Parking Restriction and Establishment of a Street Sweeping Parking Prohibition on the South Side of Laguna Hills Drive Recommendation: That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Laguna Hills Removing the Overnight Parking Restriction and Establishing a No Parking Zone During the Days and Hours of Street Sweeping on the South Side of Laguna Hills Drive between Indian Hill Lane and Paseo de Valencia." Background:

At the June 9, 2026, City Council Regular Meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Mathis and Council Member Wheeler requested that City staff return to a future City Council meeting with a report discussing parking and street sweeping issues.

Recent Parking Issues
Recently, residents near Beckenham Park, Camberwell Street, Beckenham Street, and in the Sunset Place neighborhood have spoken at the March 18, 2026, and May 20, 2026, Traffic Commission Meetings. They have described undesirable safety, accessibility, and quality-of-life issues due to non-resident vehicle parking and lack of enforceable street sweeping. City staff concurs there may be several vehicles parking during the day and night on Camberwell Street, around Beckenham Park, on Beckenham Street, and in the Sunset Place neighborhood that are not owned by residents living adjacent to those locations. City staff also concurs that quality-of-life issues may exist due to non-resident vehicle parking.

Item No. 7.2.3
Unfortunately, it has been widely observed that insufficient parking exists at or near the City's multi-family housing complexes. Perimeter, collector, and entry streets to these multi-family housing complexes are often used for overflow parking and, usually, these streets do not have sufficient curb lengths to accommodate the overflow parking. This overflow parking typically "spills over" into adjoining neighborhoods and streets. For example, it has been reported to City staff that Alicia Village and Alicia Plaza residents park on Camberwell Street, around Beckenham Park, on Beckenham Street, and in the Sunset Place neighborhood.

Additionally, it has also been observed that non-residents may use public streets around Beckenham Park as a "park-and-ride" during the day. Both at the June 9, 2026, City Council meeting and at the March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission meeting, residents provided photographs and video of how park-and-ride activities may be occurring.

Therefore, residents adjoining Camberwell Street, around Beckenham Park, on Beckenham Street, and in the Sunset Place neighborhood have requested that permit parking be implemented.

Review of Residential Permit Parking Districts
Traditionally, these parking issues have been addressed through the establishment of residential permit parking districts. Residential permit parking districts, as defined in the Laguna Hills Municipal Code, limit parking of motor vehicles to only those motor vehicles registered and owned by people residing within the residential parking permit district, thereby limiting parking on those streets to only those who live adjacent to those streets.

Resident requests to establish a residential permit parking district do not require demonstration of any impacts. Rather, a singular resident request, subsequently supported by written confirmation by 67% of the property owners requesting implementation of a permit parking district using a petition process, is sufficient to allow for the establishment of a residential permit parking district with City Council approval. (See Laguna Hills Municipal Code Sections 11-24.030 and 11-24.040.) Actions Currently Underway to Address Parking Issues
City staff presented two staff reports to the Traffic Commission on March 18, 2026 related to the issues near Beckenham Park, Camberwell Street, and Beckenham Street recommending that the Traffic Commission provide direction to City staff, as attached to this report.

Item No. 7.2.3
These items were heard as Item 4.2, Review of Residential Permit Parking Program Request for Camberwell Street, and as Item 4.3, Review of Parking Conditions on Beckenham Street.

Several residents provided public comments at the meeting on these items. All cited quality of life concerns originating from non-resident vehicles parking within these neighborhoods.

In response, the Traffic Commission recommended the following actions:

Recommended Action for Item 4.2:
"Provide residents a mail-in ballot parking permit program request for the area shaded in blue on the “City Engineer's Originally Proposed Camberwell Permit Parking Area” map, in addition to the full length of Costeau Street as it hits Alicia Parkway and the streets that are not already included in the parking permit area for City Traffic Commission to work on at a later date."
Recommended Action for Item 4.3:
"1. Establish “No Overnight Parking” on all streets surrounding Beckenham Park on the side of the street closest to the park: a. North side of Beckenham; b. West side of Costeau; c. West side of Camberwell; and d. On opposite side, which is currently no parking on Beckenham, extending down to Acacia Lane." The Traffic Commission also indicated the Sunset Place neighborhood should be included in the Camberwell Street permit parking petition process.

City staff recently mailed out petition forms, attached. Petition forms are due by 5:00 p.m. on July 15, 2026, in order for them to be deemed responsive. City staff plan to present the results of the petition at the July 15, 2026, Traffic Commission meeting.

If a residential permit parking district is established for the area encompassing Beckenham Park, Camberwell Street, Beckenham Street, and the Sunset Place neighborhood, it may provide relief to those adjoining residents but may cause other parking issues, such as new displacements of parked vehicles.

The Displacement Effect of Implementing Residential Permit Parking Districts When residential permit parking districts are implemented incrementally, motorists who previously parked in newly restricted areas often seek parking in adjacent neighborhoods that remain unrestricted. As additional permit parking districts are

Item No. 7.2.3
established over time, these vehicles may be displaced repeatedly from one area to another. This displacement effect can transfer parking impacts to neighboring streets and residential areas, creating new parking congestion concerns and generating requests for further permit parking restrictions. As a result, this piecemeal approach appears to be leading to a cascading expansion of permit parking districts as displaced vehicles continue to relocate to the nearest available unrestricted parking supply.

Without a comprehensive parking management strategy, each newly established district may unintentionally shift parking impacts rather than address the underlying parking demand.

Preventing Displacement
At the March 20, 2024, and July 17, 2024, Traffic Commission meetings, one comprehensive parking management strategy discussed was to ban overnight parking Citywide. It has been presumed that a ban may cause pressure on residential properties with insufficient on-site parking to reduce vehicle ownership or household size (which, in turn, presumably would reduce the number of vehicles per residence). If true, this may result in a disproportionate impact on renters and residents of higher-density housing. However, the City Engineer found through research and discussion with other Orange County jurisdictions that have implemented an overnight parking ban that such a ban actually often produces one or more of the following outcomes:
• Increased requests for overnight parking permits or exemptions. • Parking displacement rather than a reduction in vehicle ownership or parking demand.
• Increased demand for on-site parking at apartment and condominium complexes.
• Spillover parking into private lots, commercial properties, or neighboring jurisdictions.
• Higher parking costs for residents who must secure off-street parking.

The Traffic Commission ultimately concluded that residents accustomed to overnight street parking may view a Citywide overnight parking restriction as burdensome or unnecessary, particularly in neighborhoods without documented parking problems.

There was also concern that a Citywide approach may be perceived as a one-size-fits-all solution that does not reflect varying neighborhood conditions.

City Staff Proposal

Item No. 7.2.3
City staff believes the only equitable comprehensive parking management strategy involves identifying where the demand exists and increasing supply in proximity to the demand.

Specific to the parking issues and vehicle displacement near Beckenham Park, Camberwell Street, Beckenham Street, and in the Sunset Place neighborhood, City staff suggests the best parking alternative is on Laguna Hills Drive. Laguna Hills Drive has sufficient shoulder width to accommodate parking. The south side of Laguna Hills Drive currently allows daytime parking, but is signed as No Parking from 9 PM to 6 AM. This was done to allow for Laguna Hills High School students to park on Laguna Hills Drive during the day. However, with decreased enrollment at Laguna Hills High School, City staff is informed the school no longer needs off-site parking on Laguna Hills Drive.

Therefore, City staff is proposing to remove the existing overnight parking restriction on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive between Indian Hill Lane and Paseo de Valencia to allow for overnight parking by residents of the nearby multi-family complexes. The approximate curb length available on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive between Indian Hill Lane and Paseo de Valencia is 2,000 feet; thereby allowing approximately 85 cars (using 24' long parallel parking spaces) to park. In addition, City staff is proposing to include a street sweeping parking prohibition for the days and hours of street sweeping. Additional discussion below.

While there is parking on a portion of north side of Laguna Hills Drive west of Paseo de Valencia, that parking is currently reserved for permit parking for the medical office building on the northwest corner of the intersection of Paseo de Valencia and Laguna Hills Drive. The length of that permit parking is approximately 950 feet. Another 1,100 feet west of the permit parking could be available for general parking on the north side of the street. However, removal of the north side No Parking Anytime is not being recommended at this time.

Encouraging Turnover of Available Parking Spaces
Even if overnight parking is allowed on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive, the City Engineer suggests that parking space turnover may need to be encouraged to maximize the benefits of allowing parking on the street.

The traditional way to encourage parking space turnover is to implement time limit parking. For example, posting a two (2) hour time limit for parking. However, currently, there are no parking time limits anywhere in Laguna Hills other than the default time limit for all City streets. The Laguna Hills Municipal Code limits parking to a 72-hour

Item No. 7.2.3
time limit on all streets.

Section 11-12.040:

Maximum Parking Time Limit. It is unlawful to park or stop a vehicle for a period of time longer than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours upon any city highway.

A second way to encourage parking space turnover is to implement paid parking. When parking is provided free of charge, motorists may occupy prime spaces for extended periods, reducing availability for other users. Paid parking can help manage limited curb parking resources by discouraging long-term vehicle storage and encouraging turnover.

By requiring users to pay for parking, it creates an incentive for motorists to park only for the time they need, increasing the availability of spaces. This pricing mechanism helps reduce parking congestion and promotes more efficient utilization of public parking assets. However, the City Engineer cautions paid parking should only be implemented in conjunction with permit parking on other nearby public streets to prevent displacement of parked vehicles.

Although not customarily used to promote parking space turnover, a third way to encourage parking space turnover is to implement a street sweeping parking restriction. Additional discussion below.

Exploring Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions
Recently, after Mayor Caskey requested at the April 22, 2025, City Council meeting that the Traffic Commission explore Citywide street sweeping parking restrictions, the Traffic Commission discussed the merits of a Citywide street sweeping parking prohibition at the July 16, 2025, November 19, 2025, and January 21, 2026, Traffic Commission meetings.

The Traffic Commission did not recommend any changes to the existing street sweeping program citing that challenges for implementing Citywide street sweeping include financial and logistical challenges. The Traffic Commission determined these challenges appear to outweigh the demand for change. At the time, the Traffic Commission only heard from one resident with an interest in implementing Citywide parking restrictions.

As an alternative, Traffic Commission recommended that any street sweeping restrictions be neighborhood specific, such as how the Moulton Ranch HOA Board of Directors requested a street sweeping parking restriction for its neighborhood many years ago.

However, in light of additional requests for street sweeping parking restrictions coupled

Item No. 7.2.3
with the idea that a street sweeping parking prohibition assists in turning over parking spaces, in the future, the City Council may wish to consider implementing a Citywide street sweeping parking prohibition or granting, on a case-by-case basis, street sweeping parking restrictions after receipt of a request from an adjacent homeowners association. The financial and logistical challenges of implementing a Citywide street sweeping parking prohibition are detailed in the November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission agenda report, attached.

Conclusion
While City Council contemplates these important parking and street sweeping issues, City staff recommends providing parking displacement relief to nearby neighborhoods and that City Council adopt a Resolution removing overnight parking restrictions on Laguna Hills Drive and implementing a street sweeping parking prohibition.

If the Resolution is approved, the City Engineer intends to paint parking space stalls on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive to maximize the number of parking spaces. Parking space delineation would be done in conformance with the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact of removing existing 9 PM to 6 AM No Parking signage on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive and installing revised signage indicating the limits of on-street parking is estimated to cost less than $3,000. The estimated cost to paint parking stalls is estimated to be $5,000.

Item No. 4.2
City of Laguna Hills
Traffic Commission
Staff Report
Date: March 18, 2026
To: Traffic Commissioners
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Review of Residential Permit Parking Program Request for Camberwell Street Recommendation: That the Traffic Commission provide direction to City Staff.

Background:

In June 2025, City staff received the attached resident-generated petition form from Mr. Curtis Van Buskirk, a resident on Camberwell Street, addressed to the City to establish residential permit parking on Camberwell Street between Hendon Street and Costeau Street.

Residential Permit Parking Program Historic Practice:

On March 22, 1994, the City of Laguna Hills City Council passed, approved, and adopted City Ordinance No. 94-4, which established the City’s Residential Permit Parking Program (Laguna Hills Municipal Code Chapter 11-24). The procedures and regulations have not been changed since adoption in 1994. Chapter 11-24 includes how to establish a permit parking area, procedures regarding permit issuance, enforcement, and removal of permit parking areas.

Historically, the City has taken the approach to only restrict parking on public streets in response to specific requests for permit parking from residents. This approach aligns with the approach taken by most of the cities in Orange County.

To designate a neighborhood as a permit parking area within the City of Laguna Hills, a City-created petition form (emphasis added) must be submitted to the City and with the signatures of at least sixty-seven (67%) percent of the property owners supporting

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.2

Item No. 4.2
the proposed permit parking area.

Section 11-24.050 of the Laguna Hills Municipal Code provides that the City Engineer is "authorized to establish rules and procedures and to produce signs, forms, and other materials necessary, or appropriate, to implement the provisions of this chapter." Since 1994, the rules and procedures have involved the requestor working with the City Engineer to delineate the proposed permit parking area limits and the City Engineer approving the proposed permit parking area.

Traditionally, a super-majority threshold is chosen by national, state, and county governments in order for significant actions to be approved. The implementation of a permit parking program has long-lasting and significant impacts on residents, including placing self-restrictions on residents’ own ability to park on a street. Therefore, in most cities including Laguna Hills, a super-majority threshold was chosen to ensure that residents are committed to the permit parking program process.

Once a permit parking area is approved by City Council, the streets are signed by the Public Works Department as “Permit Parking Only” with the designated dates and times, or as required. Thereafter, motorists must display a decal or placard to park on the public street during the established time period(s). Typically, for a residential permit parking area, the City issues decals for each car registered to an address and issues four (4) annual “guest placards” (laminated, dashboard-displayed guest passes) for residents that choose to participate in the Residential Permit Parking Program.

The Department collects a nominal fee to cover the administration of the Program and the printing costs of the decals. Residents that choose not to participate in the Program may not park on the street during the prohibited dates and times.

Camberwell Street Permit Parking Petition Request:

The requestor cites that residents on Camberwell Street have been experiencing persistent safety, accessibility, and quality-of-life issues due to non-resident vehicle parking. City staff concurs that there may be several vehicles parking during the day and night on Camberwell Street and around Beckenham Park that are not owned by residents living around the park.

While City staff can not confirm that safety or quality-of-life issues exist due to nonresident vehicle parking, requests for the establishment of residential permit parking districts do not require demonstration of these types of impacts.

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.2

Item No. 4.2
Because the petition form received from the resident was not City-created, the City Engineer communicated to the requestor that the petition area must include a larger area than requested, as the historic practice, with one exception, has been to include a larger area to prevent motorists from parking on immediate adjacent streets without parking permit restrictions. Approving only Camberwell Street between Hendon Street and Costeau Street will likely lead to displaced motorists parking vehicles on Camberwell Street north of Hendon Street or on Costeau Street. City staff is aware that Traffic Commissioners have expressed similar concerns over this aspect of implementing a residential permit parking program as a major factor in whether to recommend approval of a residential permit parking program.

In response to City staff's comments, the resident indicated he believed he could gain 67% approval from residents on Camberwell Street between Hendon Street and Costeau Street and on Luton Street. However, the resident's proposed petition area is still smaller than the City Engineer's recommended area.

At the February 10, 2026, City Council Regular Meeting, the same resident spoke during public comments requesting that the City Council intervene in the matter. The City Council indicated the matter would be referred to the Traffic Commission for review.

The City Engineer has re-reviewed the original request and subsequent correspondence with the requestor, and has reviewed the streets in question. The City Engineer now concludes that the residential permit parking petition area need not include Calle Carmel or Via Balboa, as the City Engineer finds it less likely that displaced motorists would park on these streets.

City staff recommends that the Traffic Commission provide direction on this issue. If a new residential permit parking area is preferred, staff recommends the City Engineer's proposed Residential Permit Parking Program petition area to include portions of Costeau Street and Camberwell Street, and all of Hendon Street and Luton Street.

Alternatively, the Traffic Commission may recommend other parking controls, such as no overnight parking for any vehicles in and around Beckenham Park.

For reference, the attached map shows existing parking controls in and around Beckenham Park. This information may also be helpful as it relates to comments received about non-resident parking on Beckenham Street, also on the Traffic Commission agenda this evening.

Cc: Julie Comella
Subject: Re: Submission of Petition for Residential Permit Parking Program – Camberwell Street Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2025 8:16:53 PM
Dear Mr. Ames,
Thank you for your detailed response and for outlining the City’s perspective on expanding the proposed Residential Permit Parking (RPP) area.

After reviewing your recommendation and speaking further with neighbors, I would like to express our collective concern with broadening the scope of the RPP to include the additional 149 parcels identified in the attached map. While we appreciate the City’s attempt to anticipate future displacement, the fact remains that the adjacent parcels are not currently experiencing the parking issues that have led Camberwell residents to seek relief through a formal RPP program. As such, those residents have little or no current incentive to support or participate in the effort.

Expanding the boundary at this stage would likely dilute the petition’s impact and introduce unnecessary complexity, particularly since the outlined parcels are not facing the same burden.

Pursuing a larger area for the sake of theoretical impacts runs the risk of weakening the current effort, which is driven by real, ongoing challenges faced specifically by residents along Camberwell Street.

It’s also worth noting that the City has approved RPPs in other neighborhoods where similar displacement concerns were likely present, yet the programs were still allowed to proceed— suggesting a precedent for more localized implementation. This reinforces the view that the need along Camberwell is distinct and actionable, even if broader conditions may eventually evolve.

We remain committed to working with the City to address this issue, but respectfully request that the focus remain on the affected parcels along Camberwell Street for the initial ballot.

I welcome a discussion over a phone call if you are available to discuss further. I would also like to understand the parameters that have been stated relative to an RPP program.

Sincerely,
Curtis Van Buskirk

Dear Mr. Van Buskirk,
Thank you for your e-mail and for submitting the signed petition from the residents

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.2

with homes adjacent to Camberwell Street regarding the establishment of a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program. We appreciate the time and effort you and your neighbors have taken to document your concerns and formally submit this request.

While the City has approved of a singular street to be in a RPP, it has never been a collector residential street of this length with several adjacent residential streets. If permit parking were to be implemented on only Camberwell Street, it would be foreseeable that motorists would simply park on adjoining residential streets. Recently, the City’s Traffic Commissioners have been concerned about this aspect of implementing a RPP as a major factor in whether to recommend approval of a RPP.

Therefore, if you and your neighbors wish to request a RPP, based upon the distribution of residents on the signed petition, City staff would recommend the attached map area with the 149 blue highlighted parcels be included in a ballot to residential property owners for establishment of a RPP. (See attached PDF.) If you and your neighbors concur, we can schedule the mailing of the ballot.

Thank you,
Joe Ames

Dear Ms. Lee,
I hope this message finds you well.

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.2

Please find attached a signed petition from the residents of Camberwell Street in Laguna Hills, CA, formally requesting the initiation of a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program for our neighborhood. As outlined in the petition, we have been experiencing persistent safety, accessibility, and quality-of-life issues due to nonresident vehicle parking.

We respectfully request that the City of Laguna Hills conduct a traffic and parking impact study and begin the process of establishing an RPP Zone, in accordance with municipal procedures.

Should you need any additional information or require participation from residents in surveys or hearings, I would be happy to coordinate.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Staff Report
DATE: 3/23/16
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSIONERS
FROM: KENNETH H. ROSENFIELD, P.E.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES/CITY ENGINEER
ISSUE: REVIEW OF BECKENHAM STREET PARKING CONDITIONS
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION RECEIVE AND FILE THIS REPORT.

SUMMARY:

Over the course of the past 18 months, staff has responded to resident concerns regarding an increase in disturbance due to overnight parking activity on Beckenham Street. The Traffic Commission has reviewed the existing parking regulations, the results of multiple night surveys of vehicle parking and considered several parking control options to address the resident’s concerns. Most recently, in late fall 2015, the City Council discussed the potential creation of a Permit Parking Zone on Beckenham Street with Permits being made available only to residents of the Acacia Knolls community and the Sunset Place community to address this issue. However, after public comments on this proposal, the City Council requested an alternate approach and staff proposed the addition of a no overnight parking zone on the southerly side of Beckenham Street across the frontage of Acacia Knolls to address the disturbance complaint. This regulation was implemented as of November 30, 2015. Staff is providing the Traffic Commission the results of before and after studies of the parking impact of this regulation. As described herein, the new parking regulation on Beckenham street did not have a significant impact on night parking usage on the nearby streets of Sunset Place West, Sunset Place East, Costeau Street or Camberwell Street. Staff recommends that no further parking control options need be considered at this time and the Traffic Commission Receive and File this report.

BACKGROUND:

Beckenham Street is a two-way collector street with a 30 mph speed limit. It serves to provide access to commercial/medical offices on the north side of the street, to Beckenham Park, to Sunset Place (public street) leading to a non-fronting single family 3/23/2016 ITEM NO. 6.1

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3

Beckenham Street Parking Conditions
March 23, 2016

residential neighborhood, and to Acacia Lane (private street) leading to a gated nonfronting single family residential neighborhood. Beckenham Street terminates at a fire gate barrier at the intersection with Wilkes Place. There are selective No Parking Zones on Beckenham Street associated with sight-distance restrictions and lane access. Today’s agenda item has been noticed to all residents of Acacia Knolls and Sunset Place as well as the management of the Alicia Plaza and Alicia Village apartments located at the intersection of Paseo de Valencia and Stockport Street.

Beginning in 2014, a resident of the gated community known as Acacia Knolls, accessed via Beckenham Street, made regular contact with staff and Police Services about night disturbances due to the parking of vehicles on Beckenham Street behind the rear yards of the Acacia Knolls homeowners. This contact resulted in staff initiating a review of the parking controls on Beckenham Street, performing night counts of vehicle parking and the consideration of a variety of parking control options. This matter was first presented to the Traffic Commission on November 19, 2014, with a staff recommendation to take no action as the parking on Beckenham Street was done at legally allowed locations without parking supply impact to any fronting homes or businesses.

In 2015, the resident again requested City assistance with the expressed parking concern and staff again initiated parking studies along Beckenham Street. In a report to the Traffic Commission on September 16, 2015, staff noted at that time that there are approximately 30 vehicles parked on Beckenham Street each night and that only some of this parking was likely from out of neighborhood community residents. However, information provided from residents of Acacia Knolls has confirmed that there is a need for offsite parking on Beckenham Street due to limited and controlled parking with the Acacia Knolls community.

Noting that Beckenham Street is a public street which provides a parking supply for any person, regardless of their domicile location, staff again recommended no action be taken but did provide the Traffic Commission with a menu of parking control options. These options included time limited parking controls such as two-hour parking, no overnight parking from 2:00 am to 6:00 am, no overnight parking from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am and no parking anytime. The Traffic Commission recommended to the City Council the establishment of a Permit Parking Zone for Beckenham Street for use by residents of both the Acacia Knolls neighborhood and the Sunset Place neighborhood.

The City Council addressed the proposed Beckenham Street Permit Parking Zone at the meeting of October 27, 2015, during which residents, primarily from Sunset Place, expressed concerns about the potential adverse impacts of the proposed Permit Parking Zone. The expressed concern is summarized as out of neighborhood night parking vehicles could move into Sunset Place and consume that neighborhood’s limited parking supply. In consideration of these concerns, the City Council directed staff to develop an alternative parking control option, such as a no overnight parking control only across the frontage of Acacia Knolls. The City Council also encouraged the Sunset Place neighborhood to consider the benefits of Permit Parking and advise their interest in this parking option. And, the City Council requested staff review the potential use of expanded 3/23/2016 ITEM NO. 6.1

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3

Beckenham Street Parking Conditions
March 23, 2016

Permit Parking on Laguna Hills Drive to address the potential need for additional parking supply in the general area.

The City Council, at the meeting of November 10, 2015, approved a Resolution to establish a No Parking Zone from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am on the south side of Beckenham Street from 165 feet east of Acacia Lane to 405 feet easterly thereof. Please see the attached vicinity map. This parking restriction removed approximately 10 parking spaces from the parking supply along Beckenham Street. The City Council requested that the parking issue subsequently be reviewed to determine if any further action was warranted.

The No Parking Zone was implemented on November 30, 2015.

Staff initiated a before and after parking usage night survey on Beckenham Street for three nights before the implementation of the new No Parking Zone described above and for three nights after implementation of the new No Parking Zone. Parking usage was monitored on all nearby streets including Beckenham Street, Sunset Place West, Sunset Place East, Costeau Street and Camberwell Street. The actual parking counts, as measured by street and directional side of each street, are shown on the attachment. Staff has averaged the three-day parking counts as follows:

Street Location Average Parking Before Average Parking After

Beckenham Street North 26 36
Beckenham Street South 19 17
Sunset Place East (combined) 10 13
Sunset Place West (combined) 8 9
Costeau Street (combined) 5 7
Camberwell Street (combined) 0 0
In addition, on the night of March 8, 2016, staff counted the parked cars on Beckenham Street which revealed 33 vehicles parking on the north side of the street and 10 vehicles parking on the south side of the street, consistent with the most recent studies. As compared with summer 2015, there is more general vehicle parking occurring on Beckenham Street. Parking is more concentrated on the north side of the street, opposite the side of the residential neighborhoods. The newly placed No Parking Zone on Beckenham Street has apparently not pushed vehicle parking onto other residential streets as there has been no significant additional parking usage on these nearby streets.

Vehicle parking in the area continues to occur in a legal manner and has not consumed the available parking supply. Unless new information or concerns are expressed about the newly established No Parking Zone, staff recommends no further action be taken.

Parking on the City’s arterial highways is generally prohibited for traffic flow and operational purposes. There are a few exceptions to this arterial parking restriction and one exception is the Permit Parking Zone on a portion of the north side of Laguna Hills Drive westerly of Paseo de Valencia that exists for the sole benefit of the medical office uses at that corner. Please see the attached vicinity map. It is not proposed that that 3/23/2016 ITEM NO. 6.1

March 18, 2026, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3

Beckenham Street Parking Conditions
March 23, 2016

Permit Parking Zone be modified. Open parking is not permitted on the north side of Laguna Hills Drive to avoid its daily use by students of Laguna Hills High School and the resultant potential undesirable mid-block student-pedestrian crossing of this arterial highway. Day time parking only is allowed on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive to accommodate student parking needs. There is no overnight parking on Laguna Hills Drive in the area easterly of Paseo de Valencia. While nightly parking on the north side of Laguna Hills Drive, beyond the existing Permit Parking Zone could be allowed, beginning 1000’ westerly of Paseo de Valencia, it may not be necessary and it may be too distant to be effective to pull parking off of Beckenham Street. In the alternative, the Permit Parking Zone could be expanded or modified in favor of “first come first served” utilization of the potential parking supply with permits offered to City residents, but this alternative raises other access issues, particularly for the medical office building. No action on this parking supply option is proposed at this time.

6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS

6.1 BECKENHAM STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
Director of Public Services/City Engineer, Kenneth H. Rosenfield, indicated over the course of the past 18 months, staff has responded to resident concerns regarding an increase in overnight parking activity on Beckenham Street. The Traffic Commission has reviewed the existing parking regulations, the results of multiple night surveys of vehicle parking and considered several parking control options to address residents concerns. Most recently, the City Council discussed the potential creation of a Permit Parking Zone on Beckenham Street with Permits being made available only to residents of the Acacia Knolls community and the Sunset Place community. However, after public comments on this proposal, the City Council requested an alternate approach of the addition of a no overnight parking zone on the southerly side of Beckenham Street across the frontage of Acacia Knolls. Director Rosenfield indicated this regulation was implemented as of November 30, 2015, and staff performed before and after parking counts on Beckenham Street. The survey indicated the new parking regulation on Beckenham Street did not have a significant impact on night parking usage on the nearby streets of Sunset Place West, Sunset Place East, Costeau Street or Camberwell Street. Vehicle parking in the area continues to occur in a legal manner and has not consumed the available parking supply.

Director Rosenfield indicated that unless new information or concerns are expressed about the newly established No Parking Zone, staff recommends that no further parking control options need to be considered at this time.

3 available parking supply. Director Rosenfield indicated that unless new information or concerns are expressed about the newly established No Parking Zone, staff recommends that no further parking control options need to be considered at this time.

Director Rosenfield indicated the City Council also requested staff look at extending parking on Laguna Hills Drive to address overflow parking from Beckenham Street. Director Rosenfield stated parking on the City’s arterial highways is generally prohibited for traffic flow and operational purposes, but Laguna Hills Drive is one of the few exceptions. There is a Permit Parking Zone on a portion of the north side of Laguna Hills Drive westerly of Paseo de Valencia that exists for the sole benefit of the medical office uses at that corner. Open parking is not permitted on the north side of Laguna Hills Drive to avoid its daily use by students of Laguna Hills High School and the resultant potential undesirable mid-block student-pedestrian crossing of this arterial highway. Day time parking only is allowed on the south side of Laguna Hills Drive to accommodate student parking needs. There is no overnight parking on Laguna Hills Drive in the area easterly of Paseo de Valencia. While nightly parking on the north side of Laguna Hills Drive, beyond the existing Permit Parking Zone could be allowed, beginning 1000’ westerly of Paseo de Valencia, it may not be necessary and it may be too distant to be effective to pull parking off of Beckenham Street. In the alternative, the Permit Parking Zone could be expanded or modified in favor of “first come, first served” utilization of the potential parking supply with permits offered to City residents, but this alternative raises other issues, particularly for the medical office building. Director Rosenfield indicated staff recommends that no action on this parking supply option be pursued at this time.

Resident Dee Dee Gollwitzer of Sunset Place, spoke in favor of permit parking on Laguna Hills Drive, and concerns about potential overflow parking onto Sunset Place, if permit parking were extended on Beckenham Street.

Resident Lou Greenleaf of Acacia Knolls, requested the City allow residents of Acacia Knolls to park on Beckenham Street, in the no overnight parking section, while Acacia Knolls performs upcoming curb, gutter and asphalt repairs.

Resident Norma Sangalang of Acacia Knolls, spoke in favor of permit parking on Beckenham Street.

6.2 REVIEW OF HON AVENUE TO KENNINGTON DRIVE PASSTHROUGH TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC SPEED CONDITIONS NEAR

CLARINGTON PARK
Director Rosenfield indicated a resident recently contacted staff with an expressed concern that the residential neighborhood northerly of Alicia Parkway (referred to as the Missions Planned Community), which is accessed via Alicia Parkway/Hon Avenue and Paseo de Valencia/Kennington Drive, was a “major cut-through” for drivers intending to avoid traffic conditions along either or both Alicia Parkway and Paseo de Valencia. There was also an expressed concern over traffic vehicle speed near Clarington Park and a request for Speed Humps.

Staff initiated an evaluation of the above issues and retained the consulting firm of Hartzog and Crabill, Inc., to evaluate the field conditions. Hartzog and Crabill, Inc., initiated an Origin and Destination Study, which determined a 19% passthrough condition of traffic during the three-hour study period. The vehicular traffic speed in the report found an 85th percentile speed, the speed at which 85% of the drivers are driving at or below, to be 29 mph near Clarington Park.

The 10 mile per hour pace was 20 to 29 mph covering 82% of all vehicles. The expected traffic speed on a 25 mph speed limit street has been shown to be between 32 and 34 mph. However, in this case, the traffic speed was consistent with the speed limit. The use of physical devices to address traffic conditions is addressed in the City’s Residential Streets Management Policy, which states, 5/18/2016 ITEM NO. 2.

5 relative to speed humps, that these devices will only be considered when all other traffic control options and police enforcement have been exhausted and where the prevailing speed of traffic is greater than 34 mph for two speed surveys taken one month apart. In the current evaluation, the vehicular traffic speed does not support considering physical devices. Director Rosenfield stated the survey results of a 19% pass-through condition and an 85th percentile speed of 29 mph were not unusual or inconsistent with the usage of these roadways.

Staff Report
Date: November 19, 2025
To: Chair and Commission Members
From: Joe Ames, Interim City Manager/City Engineer
Issue: Exploring Citywide Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions Recommendation: That the Traffic Commission provide direction to City staff.

Background:

At the April 22, 2025, City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Caskey requested that the Traffic Commission look into adopting a Citywide street sweeping parking restriction ordinance. In separate correspondence to Assistant City Manager Ames, Mayor Pro Tem Caskey indicated that cost, enforcement, and coordination with trash pickup days be examined.

At the May 21, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, City staff provided a report outlining potential costs of sign installation and enforcement, and an overview of how street sweeping is currently coordinated with trash pickup days and how it might change with the implementation of the new solid waste and recycling service contract with CR&R that takes effect on July 1, 2025.

During the May 21, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, the Traffic Commission recommended that the City Engineer return to the Traffic Commission with a refined report on implementing a Citywide street sweeping parking restriction ordinance that includes an examination of the cost associated with placing signage only at the entrance to each housing tract, which is the minimum notification signage required by law.

At the July 16, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, City staff presented the refined report. The July 16, 2025, Traffic Commission agenda report is attached.

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.3
During the July 16, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, the Traffic Commission recommended that the City Engineer return to the Traffic Commission in four months after conducting additional public outreach campaign on the City’s street sweeping program and after conducting a survey on the number of vehicles parked during street sweeping operations.

During the past four months, the City has engaged in the following public outreach:

Roundup Newsletter
• August 2025
• September 2025
• October 2025
• November 2025
Social Media Posts
• November 2025
Regarding observed vehicles parked during street sweeping operations, the City’s contracted street sweeper conducted a survey on “arterials” (the City’s street sweeping company defines “arterials” as all non-residential streets – arterial highways, collector streets of any type, and streets in commercial areas) during the period of July 28, 2025 through August 1, 2025.

The City’s contracted street sweeper also conducted a survey on residential streets during the period of August 4, 2025 through August 8, 2025.

The results are as follows:
“Arterials” results:

Using the modified definition of “arterials,” where the City’s street sweeping company defines “arterials” as all non-residential streets – arterial highways, collector streets of any type, and streets in commercial areas, the City has 76.8 curb miles of “arterials.” Generally, no parking is allowed on arterial highways, except a portion of Los Alisos Boulevard and a portion of Laguan Hills Drive. Even in these areas, these areas are signed no parking during street sweeping.

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.3
Some residential collectors allow parking and are not signed no parking during street sweeping.

Streets in commercial areas, mostly in North Laguna Hills, are already parked no parking during street sweeping.

After subtracting out the number of curb miles where either a no parking or a no parking during street sweeping prohibition exists, 21.8 curb miles exist where vehicles can legally park. The street sweeper encountered 166 parked vehicles, which results in a ratio of approximately 29 vehicles parked per curb mile, on average – if the vehicles parked were parked legally. Unfortunately, City staff does not have data concerning if any of the vehicles were parked in violation of a no parking zone or a no parking during street sweeping prohibition.

Residential street survey results:

The curb miles for residential streets totals 62.9 curb miles. After removing streets already signed no parking during street sweeping and removing intersections where parking is not allowed due to “daylight laws” (where motorists can not park near an intersection), the number of curb miles where motorists can legally park during street sweeping operations is reduced to approximately 33.3 curb miles. The street sweeper encountered 973 parked vehicles, which results in a ratio of approximately 29 vehicles parked per curb mile, on average. Unfortunately, City staff does not have data concerning if any of the vehicles were parked in violation of a no parking zone or a no parking during street sweeping prohibition.

Conclusion:

City staff recommends that the Traffic Commission provide direction on this issue.

Fiscal Impact:

No cost associated with receiving this report. The cost of implementing a Citywide street sweeping restriction varies and is partially unknown because, while not directly related to the implementation of a Citywide street sweeping parking restriction, the cost may be impacted by the logistics and associated cost of implementing Citywide street sweeping parking restrictions in a new street sweeping contract.

Analysis: Street Sweeping Parking Restriction Implementation

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.1
Implementing parking restrictions to facilitate street sweeping offers several operational and environmental benefits but also presents certain challenges for residents and city staff. Below is a summary of the key advantages and disadvantages:

Benefits

1. Improved Street Cleanliness
Parking restrictions allow sweepers to access the full width of the curb, resulting in more effective removal of litter, leaves, and roadway debris.

2. Enhanced Stormwater Quality
Street sweeping helps prevent pollutants such as oils, metals, and trash from entering the storm drain system, contributing to cleaner local waterways and compliance with environmental regulations.

3. Improved Neighborhood Appearance
Clean streets enhance community esthetics and can signal a well-managed and caredfor neighborhood.

4. Public Health and Safety
Removing organic material and waste reduces potential slip or skidding hazards for pedestrians and vehicles.

Challenges

1. Resident Inconvenience
Required vehicle relocation during restricted hours can pose a hardship, especially in high-density or multi-family residential areas where off-street parking is limited. Parking restrictions may inconvenience out-of-town guests unfamiliar with local regulations.

2. Enforcement Demands
Effective implementation depends on consistent enforcement, which may require additional staffing or lead to increased citation processing. This additional enforcement demand may vary depending on the level of enforcement sought.

3. Risk of Penalties
Residents who are unaware of the schedule or unable to move their vehicles may be subject to parking citations, potentially causing frustration or hardship.

4. Reduced Parking Availability
Temporary removal of on-street parking during sweeping periods may exacerbate parking shortages in some areas. Communities with lower access to private parking options may be more significantly impacted by the restriction, raising concerns about fairness and accessibility.

Specific to the City of Laguna Hills, implementation of street sweeping parking restrictions may be challenging as discussed further under Analysis: Street Sweeping Operations.

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.1

Analysis: Street Sweeping Parking Restriction Signage Implementation

Installing signage to notify residents and visitors of parking restrictions during scheduled street sweeping operations can significantly improve compliance and sweeping effectiveness. However, implementation involves logistical, financial, and community-related considerations.

Benefits

1. Improved Compliance: Clearly posted signs reduce confusion about sweeping schedules, leading to higher rates of vehicle relocation and more effective curb-to-curb cleaning.

2. Enhanced Public Awareness: Permanent signage serves as a daily reminder of local street maintenance schedules, reinforcing civic responsibility.

3. Supports Enforcement: Signage provides a legal basis for issuing citations, improving the enforceability of municipal codes.

Police Services recommends that signage be placed at distances similar to existing residential permit parking signs at 300’ apart in order to maximize the benefits of street sweeping parking restriction signage.

Challenges

1. Installation Costs: Initial costs include purchasing, installing, and potentially updating hundreds of signs across sweeping routes.

2. Maintenance and Vandalism: Signs may require periodic replacement due to weathering, or repairs following vandalism or vehicle damage.

3. Community Resistance: Some residents may view signage as unsightly or object to parking restrictions, especially in areas with limited off-street parking.

4. Enforcement Sensitivity: Strict enforcement based on posted signage may lead to complaints or public backlash, particularly during early implementation.

5. Coordination with Existing Signage: Careful planning is required to avoid conflicts with existing parking restrictions.

6. Coordination with the Contractor: Careful planning is required to develop street sweeping route maps that will allow the sweeping contractor to implement the project.

Analysis: Street Sweeping Parking Restriction Signage Installation Costs

Regarding installation costs, the City Engineer is providing the following signage alternatives and estimated costs:

Signage Alternative No. 1: Place signs approximately every 300’ along streets, which is

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.1
typical for permit parking signs already installed elsewhere in the City.

Based on a spacing interval of approximately 300’, which is typical for permit parking signs already installed in the City, approximately an additional 2,400 no parking during street sweeping signs will need to be installed on residential and collector streets. Most of the signs can be attached to street light poles; however, City staff estimates that 900 signs will need to be posted on dedicated telespars (metal posts).

Approximately 2,400 signs x $90 per installed sign = $216,000 Approximately 900 telespars x $150 per installed telespar = $135,000 Total estimated cost: $351,000

Signage Alternative No. 2: Place signs only at the entrances to housing tracts, which is how the only residential tract with a street sweeping parking restriction, Moulton Ranch, not associated with residential permit parking is signed. (Other tracts with residential street sweeping parking restrictions are associated with permit parking areas.)

The minimum required signage to enforce a street sweeping parking restriction in a residential area requires only that signage be posted at the entrance to any residential tract. City staff counted the number of residential tract entrances and determined that approximately 60 signs are needed to sign in this manner. However, this alternative is not recommended by Police Services due to enforcement and notification concerns.

Approximately 60 signs x $90 per installed sign = $5,400 Approximately 60 telespars x $150 per installed telespar = $9,000 Total estimated cost: $14,400

Analysis: Street Sweeping Parking Restriction Enforcement Costs

Regarding enforcement costs of implementing street sweeping parking restrictions, the cost of enforcement can vary depending on the personnel used for enforcement (e.g.

Orange County Sheriff’s Community Service Officer, private contractor, or City Code Enforcement Officer), and the duration and frequency of enforcement.

Because the City already contracts with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department for parking enforcement through the use of Community Service Officers, City staff recommends that Community Service Officers be used for any street sweeping parking restrictions enforcement.

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.1
At the May 21, 2025, Traffic Commission meeting, Commissioners suggested a threephase approach to implementation:

1. Education period

2. Warning citation period

3. Enforcement period

City staff has developed a sample Public Outreach Plan for Phase 1, attached. This is also discussed below.

Phase 2 and 3 will likely require additional temporary Community Service Officer (CSO) resources. City staff foresees that after an initial warning citation period and enforcement period, enforcement efforts could be scaled back because compliance with the street sweeping parking restrictions will likely be more widespread.

Based on this anticipated educational and enforcement process, and assuming that the parking restrictions are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM two days per week, Police Services recommended scheduling full 12-hour overtime shifts because CSOs will need time for handling report writing and other daily administrative and preparation tasks before and after patrols. In addition to direct enforcement time spent, CSOs can use any available remaining time for related tasks such as equipment checks, fueling, picking up or dropping off supplies, uploading data and evidence, following up on parking complaints, and coordinating with Public Works on signage or problem areas, which helps make full use of their time and supports the overall success of the program.

City staff contemplates that the initial warning citation period would consist of a 12- week period, followed by 8 weeks of strict enforcement. For only the strict enforcement period, staffing two CSOs, two days per week for 8 weeks equates to 32 overtime shifts at $55.15 per hour each, totaling $21,177.60. For the same level outreach is required during the initial warning citation period, staffing two CSOs, two days per week for 12 weeks equates to 48 overtime shifts totaling an additional $31,766.40.

Analysis: Street Sweeping Operations

A major challenge in implementing any street sweeping parking prohibition will be how to coordinate the proposed street sweeping parking prohibition with street sweeping operations, which in turn, is dependent on the solid waste collection schedule.

Currently, street sweeping on residential streets is conducted the day after solid waste collection day on the 2nd and 4th week of the month. The collection of solid waste

November 19, 2025, Traffic Commission Agenda Item No. 4.3 - Street Sweeping

Item No. 4.1
from residences occurs Monday – Friday. The premise for conducting street sweeping the day after collection is to sweep up any windblown or other deposited material on the street which may occur during collection.

The new Agreement for the Collection, Transportation, Processing and Diversion of Recyclable Materials, Food Scraps, Yard Trimmings, Construction and Demolition Debris and Other Materials and for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste between the City of Laguna Hills and CR&R Incorporated (“Solid Waste Agreement”) includes a proposal to change residential trash pickup days for some Laguna Hills residential properties starting July 2026 as part of the solid waste services joint-procurement with the City of Lake Forest. This Agreement took effect on July 1, 2025.

One of the proposed efficiency improvements in the new Agreement proposes to coordinate trash pickup days with Lake Forest. This would result in the City of Laguna Hills’ residential collection days being moved to Mondays and Thursdays. (Multi-family and commercial accounts would remain unchanged.) Therefore, all street sweeping operations on residential streets would need to be changed to Tuesdays and Fridays.

However, City staff believes consolidating all residential street sweeping operations to the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays and Fridays of the month is not possible; therefore, it is likely street sweeping operations will need to be adjusted where some residential streets are swept on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday and Friday of the month, whereas, other residential streets are swept on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday and Friday of the month. Therefore, City staff recommends any proposed implementation of street sweeping parking restrictions be delayed until after the implementation of the proposed changes in trash pickup day for some residents.

Further complicating matters, if it is desired to allow for continuous on-street parking by structuring street sweeping times so that residents have the ability to move cars from one side of the street to the other side of the street throughout street sweeping day so as to avoid having to remove cars entirely from the roadway (e.g. the west side of the street is swept between 8 AM and 12 Noon, and the east side of the street is swept between 12 Noon and 4 PM), this may require significant additional planning and expense. Currently, the City’s street sweeping operators are free to sweep a tract in the most efficient manner, which typically results in one side of all streets within the tract being swept followed by the other side of all streets within the tract being swept.

Therefore, depending on the configuration of the streets in the tract, the time difference between one side of any particular street being swept and the other side of the same street being swept can vary widely. To illustrate this point, see attached street

sweeping route map, showing how long continuous streets versus cul-de-sac streets result in different times between two sides of the same street being swept. While not insurmountable, significant planning would need to occur to allow for continuous onstreet parking, if desired.

The existing street sweeping contract expires June 30, 2026. Therefore, City staff will be placing street sweeping services out to bid in January 2026. If a street sweeping parking prohibition is directed to be implemented Citywide, this will likely have a significant impact on the cost for street sweeping operations. Usually, more restrictive and prescriptive conditions on the sweeping contractor, such as specific times when a sweeper must sweep, results in a higher bid for the services rendered.

Analysis: Public Outreach Plan

The success of any street sweeping parking restriction, regardless of the specific restriction chosen, is also largely dependent on the public outreach plan. A sample public outreach plan is attached for review.

Conclusion:

City staff recommends that the Traffic Commission provide direction on this issue.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown, and while not directly related to the implementation of a Citywide street sweeping parking restriction, the cost may be impacted by the logistics and associated cost of implementing Citywide street sweeping parking restrictions in a new street sweeping contract.

Item No. 4.3
City of Laguna Hills
Traffic Commission
Staff Report
Date: May 21, 2025
To: Traffic Commissioners
From: Joe Ames, Assistant City Manager
Issue: Exploring Citywide Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions Recommendation: That the Traffic Commission provide input on the topic and recommend City staff return to Traffic Commission at a future meeting with a written report.

Background:

At the April 22, 2025, City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Caskey requested that the Traffic Commission look into adopting a Citywide street sweeping parking restriction ordinance. In separate correspondence to Assistant City Manager Ames, Mayor Pro Tem Caskey indicated that cost, enforcement, and coordination with trash pickup days be examined.

By happenstance, Assistant City Manager Ames recently attended a League of California Cities’ Public Works Officers Institute Conference where one of the presentations featured the City of Ontario’s recently implemented Citywide street sweeping parking restrictions, including costs for implementation. Additionally, the City recently received bids for a proposed street name sign replacement project.

Based on a spacing interval of approximately 300’, which is typical for permit parking area no parking signs already installed in the City, approximately an additional 2,400 no parking during street sweeping signs will need to be installed on residential and collector streets. The estimated cost of installation of the required no parking on street sweeping day signage might range from $175 to $225 per sign installation location. This results in an estimated total project cost resulting in a range of $420,000 to $540,000.

Another cost of implementing street sweeping day parking restrictions is the cost of enforcement. The cost of enforcement will vary depending on the personnel used for enforcement (e.g. Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy or Community Service Officer, private contractor, or City Code Enforcement Officer), and the duration and frequency of enforcement.

Regarding coordination with trash pickup day, currently street sweeping on residential streets is conducted the day after trash day on the 2nd and 4th week of the month. If a no parking during street sweeping restriction is proposed and adopted, City staff would propose that this schedule continue. It should be noted that there is a proposal to change residential trash pickup days for some residential properties starting July 2026 based on a new solid waste and recycling service contract awarded to CR&R, Inc. as part of a joint-procurement with the City of Lake Forest. One of the proposed efficiency improvements in the contract proposes to coordinate trash pickup days with Lake Forest. Therefore, City staff would recommend any proposed implementation of street sweeping parking restrictions should be delayed until after the implementation of the proposed changes in trash pickup day for some residents.

City staff recommends that the Traffic Commission provide input on the topic and recommend City staff return to Traffic Commission at a future meeting with a refined written report.

Fiscal Impact:
