Analysis:
On January 22, 2008, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008-02 creating Residential Permit Parking District “J” consisting of the following streets: Ballantine Lane between Edinger Avenue and Reubens Drive, Bellinger Drive between Ballantine Lane and Hilton Lane, Hilton Lane between Bellinger Drive and Flint Drive, Flint Drive between Hilton Lane and Ballantine Lane, and Jereva Circle north of Flint Drive. The parking district is located south of Edinger Avenue and west of Edwards Street (Attachment 1).
The Public Works Department received a petition from residents on Jereva Circle requesting to be removed from Residential Permit Parking District “J”. Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 10.42, Permit Parking Districts, allows residents to request removal of permit parking by a simple majority vote of the affected property units. Establishment of a district requires 75% support. Therefore, a simple majority requirement was adopted to demonstrate a substantial shift in the support for the permit parking district by the residents. The affected area is shown on Attachment 2.
As required by HBMC Chapter 10.42, staff sent ballots to the requesting properties to vote on the proposal. Four of the six properties voted in favor to remove Jereva Circle from Residential Permit Parking District “J”. The majority of residents voted in favor of removing permit parking due to being unaffected by outside commuter vehicle parking and the inconvenience of obtaining regular and temporary parking permits for themselves and guests. Staff finds that the residents have met the requirements of the Municipal Code, which requires a simple majority vote, with 67% of the affected addresses supporting the request which is sufficient for City Council consideration.
Public Works Commission Action:
None required.
Environmental Status:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety.
