A RESOLUTION OF THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY
COUNCIL ESTABLISHING A TREE SECTION
RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WEST OF SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD
BETWEEN MANHATTAN BEACH BOULEVARD AND 33 RD
STREET
THE MANHATTAN BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds as follows:
(a) Residential streets in the eastern portion of the Tree Section are experiencing overflow parking from nearby commercial businesses and are anticipated to experience overflow parking from high density multi -family developments and mixed-use development as now allowed by current zoning regulations on Sepulveda Boulevard;
(b) In order to ensure the general public welfare and availability of parking for residences in the subject area, appropriate parking restrictions with an exemption for local residents are appropriate in the area defined by this program; and (c) Manhattan Beach Municipal Code Sections 14.40.170, 14.36.100 and California Vehicle Code Section 25507 provide authority for this Resolution.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Manhattan Beach hereby establishes a parking program as set forth below:
(a) Boundaries. The program established by this Resolution shall apply to residentially zoned properties with frontages on streets located within an area bounded by Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Pine Avenue, and 33 rd Street. The program shall not apply to properties with frontages on Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach Boulevard or other properties with commercial uses within the area as determined by the Community Development Director. A map of the program area is attached hereto as Exhibit A. (b) Establishment. Each block within the area identified above may implement the parking restrictions and resident exemption authorized by this Resolution by presenting to the City Traffic Engineer a petition, in a form to be provided by the City, signed by individuals representing at least two thirds (66.6%) of the fronting residences located on both sides of the block. City of Manhattan Beach staff will evaluate the petition and verify eligibility of the proposed block. The City Traffic Engineer shall id entify that the proposed block has recurrent and heavy non - 1 of 4
resident parking demand that significantly limits the ability for residents to have an equitable opportunity to park on the public street.
(c) Parking Restrictions . Each block which petitions into the program authorized by this Resolution and is approved pursuant to the program guidelines shall be posted with two-hour parking restrictions during designated times to be determined by the City Traffic Engineer. Parking restrictions will be effective on all days, except that v ehicles with permit hangtags will be exempted from the time limit.
(d) Resident Parking Permits . Each qualified residential household with a property frontage on a street segment approved for parking restrictions by this program is allowed up to three (3) total hangtags for specific vehicles registered to occupants of the residence and/or a transferable hangtag(s) to be used for any guest vehicle of that household. Vehicles displaying a valid resident parking permit shall be exempt from the parking restrictions set forth in “c” above. The resident parking permit shall not apply to parking restrictions for street sweeping or any other parking restrictions not part of this program. A resident parking permit shall be indicated by a hangtag to be issued by the City upon verification of residency and current vehicle registration for the permitted vehicle(s). (e) Opting Out. Once a petition has been accepted implementing the provisions of this resolution, the implementation shall remain effective until such a time as a block opts out of the program by presenting to the Traffic Engineer a petition, in a form to be provided by the City, signed by individuals representing at least two thirds (66.6%) of the properties located on both sides of the block indicating their desire to terminate the parking restrictions and resident exemption. No more than one petition of either type (whether to opt in or out) will be processed by the City during any twelve month period. The City may terminate this program at any time. (f) Permit Fee. The issuance fee for permit hangtags and replacement permits will be set pursuant to the City’s Fee Schedule. There will be no prorated adjustment or refund in the fee if the applicant applies for permits any time after the current program cycle has started.
SECTION 3. The City has environmentally reviewed these proposed traffic control devices pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq .), and the City’s environmental guidelines. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, the City has issued a Class 1(c) Categorical Exemption because the traffic control devices authorize a minor alteration to the City’s existing streets involving only a negligible change in the use of the City’s existing streets.
