services.
16. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Growth Management Goal 5.0 Provide adequate parking to meet the needs of activity
centers throughout the City.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
As indicated by the attached correspondence, Chapman University has requested the City
Council suspend the permit parking restrictions within the Chapman University Permit Parking
Area due to probable parking hardship occasioned by their 13th Presidential Inauguration, and
the planned week of inaugural activities.
Traffic Engineering staff proposes the following additional conditions for City Council
consideration:
Chapman University would be responsible for all signing associated with their request. This
action should be coordinated with the Orange Police Dept. as in previous years.
Suspend the permit parking restrictions for the entire week of September 26 -30, 2016. This will
result in fewer, if any, "mistake" citations and simplify the conditions for participants and Police
Dept. personnel.
As in recent years, instruct Chapman University to notify area residents of their event and the
temporary suspension of the permit parking restrictions.
Instruct Chapman University that it is their responsibility to remove the paper signs installed as
part of this event.
