2. Choose not to abandon the public right-of-way.

3. Continue the item to a future date.

Alternative 1 is staff’s recommended action. Staff does not recommend Alternative 2, because the subject rightof-way is not needed for a public purpose, but adds to the developability of this site, thus furthering the Council’s policy goals. Staff is prepared to effectuate Alternative 3 at the Council’s direction.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the Community Development Department.

Budget/Cost Impact
There is no known fiscal impact. Costs associated with processing the abandonment request are paid by the property owner who has requested the abandonment.

SUBJECT:

CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 24-17 AMENDING CHAPTERS 9 AND 12 AND REPEALING AND READOPTING TITLE 10 OF THE WEST SACRAMENTO

MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO TRAFFIC AND PARKING
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:

Christian Asuncion, Associate Engineer

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to introduce Ordinance 24-17, amending Chapters 9.28 and 12.12 of the Municipal Code and repealing and readopting Title 10 of the Municipal Code, to allow for improved planning, design, regulation and enforcement of traffic and parking activities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1) Waive the first reading and read by title and number only Ordinance 24-17, amending Chapters 9.28 and

12.12 of the Municipal Code and repealing and readopting Title 10 of the Municipal Code related to traffic and parking; and
2) Inform the audience that the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 24-17, is tentatively scheduled for December 4, 2024.

BACKGROUND
Several sections of the Municipal Code have not been updated for many years and either contain outdated information or limit the City’s ability to effectively manage the planning, design, management and enforcement of traffic and parking activities in the City. Chapter 9.28 (Aggressive Solicitation) of the Municipal Code was last updated in 1996 by Ordinance 96-17. Minor updates are needed to this section to support special event traffic control and parking. Similarly, Chapter 12.12 (Parks and Community Service Facilities) was last updated in 1989 by Ordinance 89-12. Minor updates, including provisions for motorized vehicles in parks and updated violation penalties are necessary to encourage and enforce safety in park spaces.

Additionally, Title 10 was adopted shortly following the incorporation of the City in 1987. In 1988, the City Council established a Traffic Committee to serve as a regular forum for coordination and oversight of traffic engineering, safety and enforcement concerns within the City. Membership in the Traffic Committee was defined to include the Chief of Police, the Fire Chief, and the Director of Public Works or their designees. The purpose of the Traffic Committee was to provide close coordination between these departments and positions during the infancy of the City, to supplement staff expertise, and provide ongoing coordination between key departmental staff relating to transportation safety, operations and public transportation concerns. Further, the Traffic Committee was to serve as the primary channel for public comments, complaints, and suggestions related to transportation safety, education, enforcement, and engineering concerns.

Since then, significant changes to staffing, department organization and commissions have occurred. The Transportation, Mobility, and Infrastructure (TMI) Commission is now the major forum for serving as a conduit for public comments, complaints, and suggestions. The City government structure has changed and the establishment of new departments such as Economic Development and Housing, Capital Projects, and a standalone Public Works Operations & Maintenance Department which has shifted traffic engineering and parking functions to different departments. To address this, an internal Traffic and Parking Technical Coordination Group was formed to foster ongoing coordination and communication related to traffic and parking issues within the City and includes representatives from the Capital Projects Department, Community Development Department, Economic Development and Housing Department, Police Department, Fire Department, Public Works Operations & Maintenance Department, and other departments as appropriate. This group has been meeting on a monthly basis since 2018 and began identifying updates needed to Title 10. 429
Municipal Code and Book of Fees Updates - Parking
November 20, 2024

Page 2 ends

Updates to Title 10 were so significant that staff is recommending a repeal and readoption of Title 10 rather than an amendment, to bring it up to date with current practices, definitions, etc. and to reflect staffing, department and other organizational changes that have occurred over the years.

Parking Fee Update
On April 19, 2017, the City Council adopted uncodified ordinance 17-4 to establish off-street public parking facility and parking meter rates as authorized by the West Sacramento Municipal Code Section 10.26.060 and California Vehicle Code Section 22508. Additionally, on January 19, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution 06-5 approving parking violation fines which have undergone minor periodic updates in subsequent years.

Based on parking demand increases, off-street and parking meter rate increases in neighboring jurisdictions and opportunities to modify special event parking rates to mirror rates charged by Sutter Health Park for the River Cats and Oakland A’s games, staff proposes to amend parking rates to better manage parking space use and align with regional market rates, including fines for new violations.

Additionally, in response to complaints received by residents about the need to better manage the use and enforcement of activities at the Broderick Boat Ramp, staff also proposes to add off-street paid parking and boat launching fees at the Broderick Boat Ramp Facility to help assist with the ongoing management of the property.

The updated language in the Book of Fees also grants the City Manager the authority to make fee adjustments up to 20% of the published fee schedules adopted under Resolution 24-114. This authority allows the City to respond promptly to emerging budgetary or operational needs. Any further fee adjustments beyond this initial increase would require reauthorization by the Council.

ANALYSIS
Municipal Code Update
Attachment 1 includes Ordinance 24-17 which considers the proposed updated Municipal Code sections. A redline version of all proposed changes to Chapters 9.28 and 12.12 of the Municipal Code, as well as Title 10 is included as Attachment 2. Proposed edits are needed to bring the Municipal Code up to date with current practices, definitions, etc., and to improve management and enforcement of traffic and parking activities in the City. The following provides a summary of the proposed revisions.  Chapter 9.28 (Aggressive Solicitation) – One minor addition is proposed for this Chapter which includes provisions for persons authorized by the city manager or designee to collect fees from an operator of a motor vehicle that is in traffic on a public street for the purposes of supporting special events and specifically, events at Sutter Health Park.
 Chapter 12.12 (Parks and Community Service Facilities) – Proposed changes include updating references to reflect the current Parks and Recreation Department name (formerly Parks and Community Services Department), as well as the Parks, Recreation and Intergenerational Services Commission name and amending language to clarify that off-street parking included as a part of park and/or special use facility site that is owned or maintained by the City is subject to the same permitting and enforcement parameters as other municipal off-street parking lots, as well as the California Vehicle Code. These proposed changes allow the City to better manage and enforce parking activities located on park sites, as well as special use facilities such as the Broderick Boat Ramp and Southport Levee Trail Trailhead. Additionally, new sections were added for motorized vehicles on trails and in parks and violations.  Title 10 (Parking and Traffic) – The repeal and adoption of Title 10, includes comprehensive changes that reflect the following:
- Updated department names throughout.
- Updated staff positions and titles throughout, including the addition of a new Parking Manager position and a description of the position powers and duties.
- Updated language related to traffic control and parking enforcement. - Updated speed limits based on recently-completed speed surveys, as implemented by actions previously taken by the City Council.
- Updated violations and penalties associated with violations of the code. 430

- New chapter that includes on-street parking provisions, including designation of no-parking zones, permits for loading or unloading, requirements to prevent site distance obstruction, temporary parking restrictions, time limit parking zones, parking space markings, removal of parked vehicles and immobilization of vehicles, freight and passenger loading zones, time limits, designation of bus, taxicab and rideshare zones, disabled parking, parking meter installation and pay-by-space machines and crosswalk requirements.
- New chapter that includes off-street parking provisions, including parking private and commercial vehicles on private residential property, prohibiting maintaining, dismantling and repairing vehicles on City property prohibited, municipal parking facility rates and rates to be posted at parking facilities, impairing operation of mechanical gates controlling municipal parking facilities and other related provisions. - New chapter on valet parking to include required permits, terms associated with permits, revocation/nonissuance of permits and administrative penalties. - Updates to preferential permit parking, including language for modification or deleting preferential permit parking areas, as well as posting, exemption and penalty provisions.

Book of Fees Updates
Off-Street Parking Rates – Staff is proposing several parking rate adjustments to better manage parking space use and to align with regional market rates. Off-street rates have not changed since 2017. Modest increases are proposed to better mirror private sector and nearby public parking garage rates in downtown Sacramento, and also include a 15% passthrough fee to facilitate an online prepaid parking reservation system starting next year. New fees are also proposed for the Broderick Boat Ramp to improve public access and mirror similar facilities in the region. Monthly permit holders will be notified by email and provided a minimum 30-day advance notice of fee changes. Proposed fee updates to the Book of Fees are included in Attachment 3 as summarized below:
 5
th & Bridge Lot:
- Hourly Rate: Increased to match first hour of on-street parking rate. - Monthly Rate: Proposed $20 per month increase in 2025 and an additional $20 per month increase in 2026 to reflect pricing currently offered at nearby private and City of Sacramento public parking facilities, which range between $100-$150/month.
 7
th & Tower Bridge Gateway Lot:
- Monthly Rate: Proposed changes include offering one Monthly Rate and eliminating Reserved Parking rates, as they have never been offered or used. - Special Event Rate: Add this rate to match the 5th & Bridge Lot event rate due to its close proximity to Sutter Health Park and to reduce event parking impact on nearby businesses and residents.  Ziggurat Garage 28 City Spaces:
- Monthly Rate: Proposed changes include offering one Monthly Rate, eliminating Reserved and Nights & Weekends parking rates, as they have never been offered or used.  Ziggurat Garage Main Garage City Access Times:
- Daily Maximum: Adjusted rate to better match the Garage’s non-public rates during business hours. - Special Event Rate: Provides more flexibility to increase rates to mirror those charged at Sutter Health Park, which are anticipated to fluctuate, depending on the games. - Monthly Parking: Adjusted rate to better match the Garage’s non-public rates during business hours.  All City-Owned or Managed Parking Facilities:
- Parking Reservation Technology Fee: This fee is to accommodate the cost to the City to implement a new online parking reservation system which allows residents and visitors to make prepaid parking reservations.
 Broderick Boat Ramp:
- Vehicle Only: Daily Flat Rate Max: This rate aligns with regional market rates. - Vehicle with Trailer: Daily Flat Rate Max: This rate aligns with regional market rates. - Vehicle with Trailer: Annual Pass rates for both West Sacramento residents and non-residents: These rates align with regional market rates.
431

November 20, 2024

Page 4 ends

On-Street Rates – On-Street Rates have not been updated since 2019. Proposed rate updates include modest increases, while remaining competitive with surrounding jurisdictions.  Meter Rate: On-street parking meter rates will be adjusted by $0.25/hour for Tier 1, $0.50/hour for Tier 2, and $0.75/hour for Tier 3. This will align with regional market rates, promote turnover and increase short-term availability, while directing longer-term parking to off-street facilities.  Monthly Parking Zone Rate: Clarify that this rate is based on monthly rate at the 5th & Bridge Lot.  Daily On-Street Parking Use Fee: Expand fee to non-metered spaces.  Parking Meter Removal and Installation: New fees to accommodate the removal and/or installation of parking meters due to construction projects, as needed. The City contracts with Sacramento for parking meter services and the proposed fees reflect their actual costs to provide this service.

Parking Violation Fines
In addition to the proposed off-street and on-street parking fee updates, parking citation fees for various on-street violations have been updated to reflect changes in the municipal code, deter safety hazards, and align with neighboring jurisdictions.

Next Steps
Based on Council feedback, staff will prepare the proposed updates to the Municipal Code Chapters 9.28 and

12.12, and Title 10, as well as the Book of Fees updates for consideration at the December 4, 2024, Council meeting. Proposed updates to the Book of Fees, once adopted, will go into effect in early 2025.

Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
This item is scheduled to be presented and to the TMI Commission at their November 18, 2024, meeting.

Strategic Plan Integration
Approving the proposed amendments to Municipal Code Chapters 9.28 and 12.12 and repealing and adopting Title 10 supports the Council’s 2017 Strategic Plan goal of Urban Parking by establishing parking facilities and associated planning, design, management and revenue generating activities. Additionally, paid parking and the ability to enforce on- and off-street parking activities implements the General Plan 2035 Goal M-7.1 Parking which states that the “City shall develop and manage a comprehensive on- and off-street parking system that reflects the true cost of private vehicle use, supports the use of alternative transportation, and employs best available technologies” and Goal M-7.13 Pricing which states “The City shall use parking pricing and performance parking to discourage congestion.”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:

1. Propose additional modifications to the Municipal Code and fee schedule and direct staff to return at a future date with additional information and/or a modified Ordinance and fee schedule; or

2. Decline action at this time.

Alternatives 1 and 2 are not recommended as these revisions to the Municipal Code are necessary and long overdue in order to have the Municipal Code reflect current operations and to support improved ongoing enforcement of on- and off-street parking throughout the City.

Coordination and Review
This report was prepared jointly by the Economic Development and Housing Department and Capital Projects Department in coordination with the Community Development Department, Police Department, Finance Department, and the City Attorney.

Budget/Cost Impact
There are no specific budget or cost impacts associated with the recommended actions. Costs associated with installation of new parking signage or meters will be offset by parking revenue generated from paid on- and off432 Municipal Code and Book of Fees Updates - Parking
