3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve the implementation of permit parking on both sides of Bedford Road between Culver and La Veta Avenues.
2. Forward to the City Council for final approval.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None. Implementation involves nominal staff time and minimal expenditures already approved in the City's operating budget.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Provide for a safe community.
b. Provide and maintain infrastructure necessary to ensure the safety of the public.
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. 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 (in PPOA #1) from an eligible resident, staff mailed petition packages to affected property owners in June 2023. The polling process concluded in July 2023, the results of which indicate that 55% of the property owners are in favor of permit parking (10% are opposed, and 35% did not respond.) Because the level of support meets the minimum required 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 equest permit parking in the future by following the procedures described above. Furthermore ermit parking does not supersede other parking restrictions such as street sweeping. Participation ir the permit program is voluntary; however, any vehicle parked on the street without a permit after implementation is subject to citation.

You don't often get email from Learn why this is important Hello Dave,
My husband and I, Lupe and Eddie Aymerich reside @
Orange CA 92868 for over 26 years now, we love
our neighborhood and have great neighbors, we also have a neighborhood watch program.
In the last couple of years there has been a increase of problems with parking issues. For example people from the apartments (north or our block) love to leave their cars over the weekend in the same place which we find so inconsiderate. They should park where they live !!!
They have left cars from Friday evening up to Monday morning-we recently called the parking enforcement and a car was even towed away.
This very annoying since our family and friends that come visit us have no place to park.
There is also trash left by these people and we can't even put our trash cans out Sunday evenings because of these cars.
We have talked to our neighbors and we are fed up with this issue Please help solve issue by with parking permits.
Thank you for attention and time,
Lupe Aymerich

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.)

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.
