BACKGROUND:
Since May 2016, city staff and their consulting team have conducted a thorough
analysis of the study area’s existing parking supply and demand, future parking needs,
and parking management practices of comparable cities. The result of this effort is
contained in three technical memoranda:
TM 1 – Data Collection and Analysis
TM 2 – Future Parking Scenarios
TM 3 – Program Evaluation, Peer Reviews, and Best Management Practices
These technical memos informed the preparation of the Parking Management Plan and
the recommended management strategies in it. The draft Parking Management Plan
has been previously distributed to the Planning Commission, posted to the City of
Carlsbad website (http://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/planning/psreports.asp),
distributed to the libraries, City Hall, Faraday Office, Senior Center and on file at the
Carlsbad Planning Division. Included with the draft plan is an executive summary of the
key findings and strategies that could be implemented in the forthcoming Village and
Barrio Master Plan.
BASIS OF ACTION:
This meeting is an opportunity for city staff to hear input from the community and
Traffic Safety Commission on the draft Parking Management Plan. No formal action will
be taken at this meeting; however, input on the draft plan will be summarized and
forwarded to the City Council for their consideration when they receive a similar
presentation of the draft plan in August. Input and direction received will be used to
prepare the final Parking Management Plan, which will be presented to the City Council
for acceptance later this year. As appropriate, recommendations from the Parking
Management Plan will then be incorporated into the revised draft Village and Barrio
Master Plan, which is anticipated to be completed later this year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive presentation on the draft Parking Management Plan, public testimony, and
provide Commission comment regarding the plan. NECESSARY CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
This presentation is informational only. As a result of the parking study, a Parking
Management Plan will be developed. The Parking Management Plan will be reviewed
and accepted by the City Council in the fall of 2017.
