DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Ms. Shelly Ducker of Santa Maria St., and Mr. Dennis Shintani of Salinas Ct., residents within the residential community located across the street from Peters Canyon Regional Park, are requesting the removal of Santa Maria Street from permit parking Area "R ". The basis for the request is after the implementation of the permit parking for over three and a half years, the residents feel the program is causing significant inconveniences. They don't agree that their street is significantly impacted by the Peters Canyon users. Area "R" was approved by the City Council through adoption of Resolution No. 10664 in June 2012. At that time, Council directed staff to re- evaluate the issue and report back on a parking permit program for Area "R ". In November 2012, staff reported back to the City Council the status of Peters Canyon improvements by the County of Orange, the possibility of installing on- street parking on Skylark, and residents' concerns on the implementation of the parking permit program. Several area residents spoke and requested their streets /street segments be removed from the program. The City Council moved to receive and file the report, and directed staff to assist the residents in the removal from permit parking per program guidelines. On June 11, 2013 Salinas Ct., Santa Cruz Ave., and a segment of San Luis Dr. from Santa Cruz Ave. to the end of the cul -de -sac, were removed from parking permit Area "R" through adoption of Resolution No. 10718. Santa Maria St. did not have the required 55% in favor of removal, and remained in the parking permit program. In April 2014, the City Council approved changes to the policies, procedures, and guidelines of the parking permit program. Among the changes is the requirement to have at least 75% of all affected residents in favor of removal from permit parking. In December 2015, Mr. Shintani contacted Public Works inquiring about the process for removing Santa Maria St. from the parking permit program. The process for removal of the permit parking is similar to the implementation of the program. Staff provided the petition letters to Mr. Shintani with instructions to make a good faith effort to contact all the addresses on the petition. The completed petitions were returned to the Traffic Engineering Division by the ITEM 2 4/12/16 proponents and are attached to this report. These petitions have been counted in the polling for Santa Maria Street. The table below shows the results of the neighborhood polling. Street Name In Favor Opposed Unsigned Santa Maria St. —15 Homes 1 12 (80 %) 1(6.6 %) 2(13.3 %) As stated, there must be a minimum 75% majority of the affected residents in favor of removal from the parking permit program. Santa Maria St., with 80% in favor, exceeds the minimum requirements for the removal from the permit parking program. At the March 9, 2016 meeting, City Traffic Commission approved the request to remove both sides of Santa Maria St. between Santa Cruz Ave. and San Luis Dr. from the Neighborhood Parking Permit Program Area "R ". The request is now presented to the City Council for final approval though Resolution 10927. San Luis Dr. between Santa Cruz Ave. and Santa Maria St. remains in the Neighborhood Parking Permit Program. Any vehicle parked in the area without a permit will be cited, whether they live in the neighborhood or not. Staff will initiate the removal process by contacting each property owner and requesting the return of the parking permits, a process that is generally complete within 30 days. Staff will remove the parking permit signs after the Police Department has confirmed all the permits in the affected area have been returned. The proponent and all residents in the neighborhood were notified of this City Council Meeting for final approval of the removal of Santa Maria St. from Parking Permit Area "R ". 8.
