6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The City's Neighborhood Permit Parking Program (NPPP) provides a mechanism for protecting residential streets from external parking overflow when certain criteria are satisfied. In order to streamline the permit parking application process in certain highly parked areas, the City Council established five Permit Parking Opportunity Areas (PPOA). PPOA are subject to different criteria and procedures. Specifically, the application fee and parking occupancy study typically required are waived, and the required neighborhood support level is reduced from 75% to 55%.
After receiving a written request for permit parking for the aforementioned street from an eligible resident, staff mailed petition packages to the property owners on the affected street in June 2023.
The polling process concluded in July 2023, the results of which indicate that 60% of the property owners are in favor of permit parking, none are opposed, and 40% did not respond. Because the City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 8/2/2023

level of support exceeds the 55% stipulated in the NPPP, staff recommends permit parking.
Moreover, it should be noted that property owners of any other streets) within this PPOA may request permit parking in the future by following the procedures described above. Furthermore, permit parking does not supersede other parking restrictions such as street sweeping. Participation in the permit program is voluntary; however, any vehicle parked on the street without a permit after implementation is subject to citation.

Good afternoon Clayton,
I'm sorry to learn that you are experiencing these issues. You are correct that an expansion of the permit area can be requested when affected by spillover from newly permitted areas. There will need to be studies and petitions completed beforehand, so I would like to put you in touch with Dave Allenbach, a Transportation Analyst in Public Works. I've cc'd him on this email so that he is aware of your request and can get you started with the process.
Best regards,
Sonum Sanchez

Subject: Parking permit
Good morning,
I live at Orange CA 92868. Recently the 400 blocks of S. Plum and S. Lilac received parking permits. ve are already experiencing excessive parking on Devon but due to these new permits we are getting way more spill over. People park their cars and leave them for days on end. They also drop cars and get picked up and go to their condos that are just east of Devon. All of the neighbors are extremely frustrated. I have to constantly call to have the cars ticketed(and I live in the middle of the street the corners are much worse). I read that if there is spill over due to the new permit that we can request expansion of the permit. If there is a way I can request expansion I would like to do it. Sorry for the lengthy email. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Clayton Patchett
