ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the City Council meeting of August 13, 1996 staff was directed to formulate a residential permit
parking program and return, with documents, to the City Council for final approval. The attached
ordinance and resolution are provided to formally implement the residential permit parking program.
Based upon staff meetings with residents and their input to the City Council, the boundary of the
parking permit has been established. Occupants of residences and businesses within the permit arei
will have an opportunity to purchase a maximum of four parking permits in each calendar year. Eact
permit will cost $24 and the cost will be prorated depending upon the month in which it was
purchased.
The permit parking area will require a valid permit, issued by City staff, affixed to the vehicle to pari on-street between the hours of 1O:OO p.m. and 200 a.m., seven days a week. Drivers of vehicles ir
violation of the permit program will have their vehicle towed at their expense.
Residences and businesses that abut the following streets are included in the residential perm1
parking area and are eligible to purchase a parking permit(s).
1. Hemlock Avenue - Carlsbad Boulevard to Garfield Street.
2. Redwood Avenue - Carlsbad Boulevard to Garfield Street.
3. Tamarack Avenue - Carlsbad Boulevard to Garfield Street. Residents of this portion of Tamara(
Avenue cannot park on Tamarack Avenue due to the 24-hour NO PARKING ANYTIME restrictic
in place.
Sequoia Avenue - Carlsbad Boulevard to Garfield Street.
Carlsbad Boulevard - Hemlock Avenue to Sequoia Avenue, east side only.
Garfield Street - Hemlock Avenue to Sequoia Avenue.

A maximum of four permits per calendar year will be issued to an eligible residence or busines!
address and lost permits will not be replaced during the calendar year it is valid. Owners that ren property will be responsible to collect the perrnit(s) for their next tenant to use during the remainder a
the calendar year. A turnover in tenants of rental property is not sufficient reason for more than fou
parking permits per calendar year to be issued to the dwelling unit address.
Signs will be posted on each street segment within the boundaries of the residential permit parkin!
area. New tenants, therefore, can observe the signs and purchase the required number of parkin1
permits, up to a maximum of four.
Staff is also recommending that vehicles be allowed to park on Carlsbad Boulevard until 200 a.rr
between Cherry Avenue and Redwood Avenue. Extending the time allowed to park on this roa
segment from the current 12:OO midnight restriction will allow additional parking to minimize th
NO PARKING TOW AWAY between 1O:OO p.m. and 2:OO a.m. on nearby streets.
The State Parks and Recreation Department has agreed to allow parking in the lower Tamarac
Avenue parking lot until 2:OO a.m. each night. Currently, parking is not allowed after 11:OO p.m. an
the extended hours will permit more off-street parking to minimize the need for on-street parking in th
residential neighborhood. The sign will be changed in the parking lot to reflect the 2:OO am
beginning of the parking restriction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
About 48 signs will be required to be posted on streets in the permit area advising drivers of th
NO PARKING TOW AWAY between the hours of 1O:OO p.m. and 2:OO am., except if a valid parkin
permit is displayed. Cost of the signs is about $5,000.
The Police Department will routinely patrol the parking restricted area and enforce as needed. Th
cost for this service may range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending upon the level of enforcemer
actions and the time spent at the vehicle to be towed.
Administrative costs to issue permits and maintain files for the residential permit program on a year1
basis is estimated at $8,000.
Based upon the above analysis, the total costs borne by the City of Carlsbad resulting from th implementation of the residential permit program will range from $15,000 to $23,000. It is estimate
that up to 200 dwelling units are within the boundaries of the parking area and could purchase parkin
permits valued between $10,000 and $20,000. Although a maximum of four permits can b
purchased per dwelling unit, the total revenue to the City will depend on the number of permil
purchased annually.

(a) General Finding. The City Council finds ai!a result of public testimony, evidence
generated by both professional planning studies and derived from other sources, that the
continued vitality of the City of Carlsbad depends on dye preservation of safe, healthy and
attractive neighborhoods and other residential areas therein!. The City Council further finds that
one factor that has detracted from the health, safety and attractiveness of neighborhoods and other residential areas of the City is the excessive and burdepsome practice of non-residents of
certain areas and neighborhoods parking their motor vehicles therein. \

(b) Specific Findings, The following specific legislative findings of the City Council in
support of preferential resident parking are set forth as illustrations of the need compelling the
enactment of this Chapter. They are intended as illustrations only and do not exhaust the subject
of the factual basis supporting its adoption:
The safety, health and welfare of the residents of the city can be greatly (1)
and oher residential areas;
Certain neighborhoods and areas of the city do not have sufficient on or
off-street space to accommodate the convenient parking of motor vehicles by
residents (*) \\a ereof in the vicinity of their homes;
(3) S ch areas as described in (2) above are often further burdened by influxes of knotor vehicles owned by non-residents which compete for the
inadequate av ilable on-street parking spaces; A syst m of preferential residential parking as enacted in this Chapter will
serve to promot the safety, health and welfare of all the residents of the city by
reducing unneceyary personal motor- vehicle travel and by promoting
improvements in arf quality and the convenience and attractiveness of urban
residential living. Th public welfare will also be served by promoting a more stable
