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 streets (in PPOA #3) from an eligible resident, staff mailed petition packages to affected property owners in August 2023. The poling process concluded on September 25th ", the results of which indicated that all the petitioned streets individually demonstrated sufficient support for permit parking: 62% on Sycamore Avenue; 66% on Highland Street; 85% on Mt. Vernon Avenue; 75% on Martha Avenue; and 68% on Park Lane. Based on these support levels exceeding the NPPP minimum of 55%, staff recommends permit parking on said streets.

IMPLEMENTATION POLICY
APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL
August 9, 2022
Note: The Neighborhood Parking Permit Policy below does not apply to area "A" • The presae to migate than itrosion of ollege orienter venerdad pansitional etiti- esidential areas to assure that local residents and their guests have convenient parking or streets in proximity to their homes shall be referred to as the Neighborhood Parking Permit Program.
• Permit Parking shall only be permitted in single-family residential areas, where the problem is ongoing, and it is determined that the permit parking is the only solution. Only single- family residences and duplexes (two units on one lot) are qualified for this program. • The Traffic Engineering Division shall determine the boundaries of the permit area for each request.
• Since Permit Parking Areas benefit certain residents, and not the general public, a "Permit Parking Program Application Fee" $1,000 shall be paid by the proponents) of each new or additional permit area, for consideration of the implementation of permit parking. (This could also be implemented with a $500 deposit and an additional $500 when the petition is issued.) (Exception: If within one year of implementing a new permit parking area there is spillover onto adjacent streets(s), a property owner on the affected streets) may request expansion of that permit parking area. Such requests shall be exempt from the application fee but would need to meet the parking study and petition requirements.) • The neighborhood parking permit areas that are adjacent to a K-12 school shall not be enforced during the school A.M. drop-off (from 7:30 am to 8:30 am) and P.M. pick-up time (from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm) on days school is in session. • Implement restricted hours for permit parking enforcement on an as-needed basis to address Recreational Intrusions and Business Intrusions. The intent of this policy change is to maximize the benefits of permit parking to the applicant neighborhood while minimizing impacts to adjacent property use to balance parking need with quality of lifestyle. • Institutional Intrusions (Universities, hospitals) shall remain 24/7/365. • Recreational Intrusions (Parks, Schools and Sports Complexes) shall be enforced from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or as otherwise approved.
Business Intrusions (Commercial Businesses) shall be enforced Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or as otherwise approved.

APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL
August 9, 2022
• To minimize sign pollution, permit parking area shall be identified by area posting wherever possible.
• The City Council may, at its discretion, create city-defined permit parking "opportunity" areas in locations with high parking demand potential. Residents within the boundaries of such areas can opt into permit parking on a block-by-block basis, similar to Area "A".
