3. De�tran Road �- Request for Parking Restriction/Contro� Study -
- Marian Trueblood, Ne�i,hborhood Spokesperson, 390 South Devon Rd. , Orange-92668
Mr. Dennis presented the staff report. He briefly reviewed the historical data
tracing the parking encroachment by eriployees into the residential areas adjacent -
to the off ice-cornmercial area at La Veta Avenue and Main Street. It was sl�own
that as the office-commercial area developed and employees b egan parking in the �
residential areas, residents requested some type of parking restriction. This
request resulted in establishing 2-Hr. parking limits on the residential streets.
Mr. Dennis also reviewed the concept of permit parking. The 1977 Calif ornia �
Vehicle Code Seetion 22507 allows local authorities to estab lish and designate
certain streets upon which preferential parking privileges may exist and issue
a p�rmit to exempt residents and merchants from such prohibition.

Permit parking has not been established in the City of Orange because of arr�bi- ' '
guities that exist in certain issues. Some of these issues are: � � ! "
1) Administration - The issue involves criteria for granting permits, the
problem with guests/visitors, use of garage for storage
rather than parking, and fundamentally the actual issuance -
af the permit and� costs involved.
2) Precedent Setting - Permit parking, . if allowed in one area would quickly �
spread to all areas with limited tlme parking. This ,
aspect should be studied in relation to a total city-
wide concept rather than a piecemeal, patchwork concept.

3) Philosophy - Central to the entire pern�.it parking concePt is whether the
resident has proprietor rights over a street that is � s;�
public dornain, and if so, G�here is the line drawn on
a residents proprietor ri�ht to public donain? �
Tho�e speaking in f avor of some type of parking restriction were: '
William Fitschu. - 491 Devon Road
Andy Cordero -- 470 Devon Road �
Marian Trueblood- �90 Devon Road
Ray Soda - 490 Alpine Road
The concerns expressed were: �
-- Residents have diff iculty f inding parking due to employees from the
office-cornrnercial parking on these streets. �
- Street sweeping is not effective because of parked vehicles.
_ - The existing 2-Hre parking areas are not consistently enforced.
MOVED by Commissioner Baumann, seconded by Commissioner Yarger, the Commission
recommends to the City Council: . , -
1) Devon Road between La Veta Avenue and Culver, be posted for 2-Hr. �;-
parking between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excepting Sat. , Sun. , & Holidays. =
2) �he Police Department make a concentrated effo�t to enforce the 2--Hr. � � '�:
parking restriction. � ; �
3} Dri�veway clearance zones to be established in �this area and installed as � � �
requested by individual residents.
4) Communication with the surrounding merchants outlining the parl�ing problems
and suggesting some possible remedies.
