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’s).PPOA’sare subject to different criteria and procedures.
Specifically, the application fee and parking occupancy study are waived, and the required neighborhood support level is reduced from 75% to 55%.
Staff received a written request for permit parking for E. Meats Avenue between N. Cambridge Street and N. Greengrove Street from an eligible resident on the street. These limits of E. Meats Avenue are located within PPOA #5. Subsequently, staff mailed petitions to the property owners on the affected street. The results of the petition process indicate that 64% of the property owners are in favor of permit parking, 0% were opposed, and 36% did not respond. Because the support exceeds the 55% City of Orange Printed on 10/3/2024Page 1 of 2

permit parking, 0% were opposed, and 36% did not respond. Because the support exceeds the 55% stipulated in the NPPP, staff recommends implementation of permit parking on the aforementioned street.
It should be noted that property owners of any other street(s) 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.
