7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
On April 25, 2016, the Traffic Division received a request to install time limited parking and red
curb serving the business complex at 853 N. Shattuck Place and time limited parking in front of
the church at 840 N. Shattuck Place. The request was placed on the June 8, 2016 Traffic
Commission agenda, once a parking occupancy study had been completed by staff. The Traffic
Commission continued the item for further study and follow -up. The Traffic Commission took
evidence at its August 10, 2016, meeting and after deliberation denied the applicant's request. A
timely appeal was filed on behalf of the applicant by Councilmember Alvarez stating that the
applicant believes persons from nearby apartments are using the available parking thereby
creating a lack of parking for the businesses.
The following summarizes the timeline for processing this request:
April 25, 2016 City staff receives initial request from Glen R. Nelson, Steven A. Nelson
and Pastor Bubba Lipscomb.
April /May 2016 City staff performs parking occupancy study and traffic study related to
red curb request.
June 8, 2016 The N. Shattuck Place time - limited parking and red curb request is
considered at the Traffic Commission meeting. The Traffic Commission
takes the following action: Direct a 30 -day enforcement of the area,
approve the red curb request, and bring the item back to the Traffic
Commission for further consideration at the August 10, 2016 Traffic
Commission meeting.
June 9 -July 10, 2016 A 30 -day Police Department targeted enforcement of parking
regulations along N. Shattuck Place occurred.
July 11, 2016 Orange Police Department issues memo summarizing the results of the
targeted enforcement efforts. Four citations were issued, three for
expired registration and one for an oversized vehicle. One vehicle was
towed for violating the 72 hour time limit. Officers conclude the area is
not overly impacted during business hours (8 am to 5 pm) and parking is
generally available for business patrons each day.

August 10, 2016 The N. Shattuck Place time - limited parking request is considered at the
Traffic Commission meeting. After deliberation, a motion to deny is
made, citing an overnight parking issue rather than lack of available
parking during daytime business hours. The Traffic Commission takes
the following action: Approve the staff recommendation to deny the
request.
August 25, 2016 The Traffic Division receives an appeal application from Councilman
Mike Alvarez requesting the City Council review the findings of the
Traffic Commission and the decision to deny the request of the
applicant.
Prior to each of the scheduled Traffic Commission meetings, 90 public notices were mailed to
properties that are contained within the 300 foot radius of the requested parking restriction. In
response, one letter of support was received by the City via email and was included in the June 8,
2016, staff report to the Traffic Commission. One resident appeared at the August 10, 2016
Traffic Commission meeting and comments that she is concerned vehicles would opt to park in
the nearby residential neighborhood if restricted along N. Shattuck Place.
