Policy 1.10: Apply traffic calming measures, where appropriate, to residential neighborhoods affected by cut - through traffic in accordance with the City's Residential Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. 7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Existing Conditions Ms. Pamela Kaa a resident of Waverly St. located in a residential community in proximity to Chapman Ave. is requesting permit parking for the 100 block of S. Waverly St. The request is to maintain a reasonable quality of life for the residents of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is single - family residences with business properties on the north end of Waverly St. and along Chapman Ave. Over time the demand for on- street parking generated by the local businesses has increased. Per the City's Parking Permit Ordinance (OMC 20.30.40) the program is to mitigate the intrusion of college- oriented or other long -term vehicle parking either by commercial or institutional use on streets in residential areas, to assure local residents and their guests of convenient parking on streets in proximity to their homes. In this case the parking demand is being generated by the businesses. A resident of the neighborhood provided the Traffic Engineering Division a letter of request and the $650 application fee. After the Traffic Engineering Division received the letter of request and application fee, staff conducted a few parking occupancy studies to determine the extent of the parking intrusion. The observed parking demand on Waverly St. is shown in the table below.

Staff provided a petition and a list of Permit Parking Pros and Cons to Ms. Kaa and Mr. Bruce Morrison co- applicant with instructions to make a good faith effort to contact all the addresses on the petition. The completed petition was returned to the Traffic Engineering Division. The table below shows the results of the neighborhood polling. Affected Addresses Households In Favor Households Opposed Unsigned 17 Total 16 1 0 Percentage 94.1% 5.9% 0% Analysis Per staff s observations, the on- street parking occupancy reaches the minimum threshold of 75% all day Wednesday's (8:00 am — 5:00 pm), sometimes on Monday and Tuesday. There is street sweeping from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Thursdays. We also noticed that the area businesses that impact the on- street parking on Waverly utilize their parking lots as well. However, their overflow clients use Waverly St. to park. There is a minimum to no impact at all to the Waverly on- street parking by the area businesses after 5:00 PM every day. Staff recommended a compromise solution to implement Neighborhood Parking Permit Program allowing one (1) hour parking without a permit everyday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This would assist the businesses' clients to find a space to park on Waverly St. when their parking lots are full, and providing the residents and their visitor's on- street parking at all times with permit. Through public discussion with the residents and business people of Waverly Street the City Traffic Commission elected to approve a full time parking permit program for the area residents. Obtaining Parking Permits Residents will obtain their parking permits from the Traffic Bureau of the Police Department. Issuance of permits is based on housing density and is explained in the table below. Visitor permits are included in the number of permits available to each household. A letter will be sent to each household providing instruction for obtaining permits. Housing Density # Permits Available Annual Cost Single - Family 7 $25.00 /Household Duplex 4 $25.00 /Household Recommendation At their meetings of May 14, 2014 the Traffic Commission recommended approving permit parking for the street listed below, and forwarded the request to the City Council for final approval. 3 Area U Both sides of Waverly Street from the northerly property lines of 133 and 138 S. Waverly Street to Almond Avenue. The proponent and all residents and businesses within 300 ft. of the study area were notified of the City Council meeting. 8.
