Receive and File — Pilot Parking Study Status October 1, 2019 Page 2 for Northeast District map (Exhibit 2) also indicates parking shortages in two of the MFR neighborhoods with supply -to -demand ratios less than 0.8. Potential remedies include increasing parking supply in public streets by adding parking on arterials (signs only), adding parking by using revised striping, reinstating parking adjacent to City Parks, and partnering with neighboring property owners to maximize parking availability. Some surface parking is used daytime hours only, so that could provide some parking benefits from 6pm to 6am. To reduce the parking demand, the City could encourage or legislate parking devices which add on -site parking within multiple family residential units. The City could also work with multi -unit property managers to incentivize them to create additional parking. Long term, the City is improving transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities which over time should help to reduce demand. The solutions and tools that are developed could then be applied to other parking districts as needed. The information is also very useful to include in a Request for Proposals that the City could publish for a citywide parking management solution. Pilot Districts Northeast District - Portion of the City lying north of 17th Street and east of Lincoln Avenue, and encompasses Fairhaven, Portola Park, Meredith Parkwood, Fairbridge Square, and Young Square Neighborhoods. Eastside District — Bordered by First Street on the north, Union Pacific Railroad Tracks on the east (east of Standard Avenue), Edinger Avenue on the south, and Main Street on the west, and encompasses Cornerstone Village, Eastside, and Madison Park Neighborhoods. Parking Demand and Supply To help determine the severity of the parking shortage problem, the study includes a supply vs demand comparison. The supply is based on estimated parking spaces on private residential property and the adjacent public streets. The need is based on vehicles registered within each district's borders. Supply The first phase of the study included gathering data on available on -site parking on residential properties and available parking on the streets of these residential neighborhoods. Staff gathered data for parking availability inventory for SFR and MFR properties through record searches, field checks, and by contacting property managers. Field Checks — Staff visited the residential neighborhood to visually determine on -site (private property) and offsite (public street) parking space quantities, taking into account locations where parking is prohibited (e.g., driveways, fire hydrants, red curbs, "No Parking" areas). 19C-2
