TITLE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA AMENDING TITLE 10, CHAPTER
10.40, SECTION 10.40.140 OF THE PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN ALLEYS
PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE:
As directed by the City Council on October 21, 2024, this ordinance amends the Municipal Code allowing the posting of additional parking restrictions in alleys.
REASONS WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED:
Parking in alleys has given rise to significant challenges for businesses and other parkers in recent years. The existing ordinance requires updating to address drivers parking in alleys by allowing additional enforcement and posting ofsignage to minimize the impact of drivers parking in alleys that disrupts the flow of traffic, business uses, and enhance pedestrian safety and traffic flow. This ordinance updates Section 10.40.140 to reflect the language clean up.
PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED:
The Department of Transportation will implement this ordinance. 11/25/2024

AGENDA ITEM NO.-re- 17
Parking Restrictions in Alleys Ordinance
November 18, 2024
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
On October 21, 2024, the Council found that this ordinance is not a project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Public Resources Code Section 15061(b)(3) ("common sense" exemption).
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no significant fiscal impact as a result of this action, and it will not have any indirect or support cost requirements as the installation of signs and patrols required to enforce the PMC changes are already incorporated in the Parking Division's operating budget. The potential increase in parking citation revenue as is expected to be $1,000 in FY25, and as compliance is gained, that amount will normalize and plateau.
