The study focuses on two residential permit parking districts, namely Northeast and <br />Eastside districts, and is intended to examine parking availability (supply) compared to parking <br />need (demand), and potential remedies to reduce demand and increase supply. These two districts <br />were selected based on the high number of parking -related requests for service, the housing <br />density mixture, and the potential areas of additional parking supply opportunity. The Pilot Study <br />is anticipated to be ready for presentation to the Economic Development, Infrastructure, Budget, <br />and Technology Council Committee by November 2019, and subsequently to the City Council in <br />December 2019 or thereafter. <br />Summary and Preliminary Options <br />Staff from the City's Information Technology Department is finalizing maps to reflect the parking <br />supply and demand within groups of blocks. The maps include a summary of available parking as <br />well as registered vehicles within neighborhoods. The maps are color coded with shades of blue to <br />represent parking surplus, or shades of red to represent parking deficit. Based on the draft maps, <br />the single-family residential (SFR) neighborhoods generally appear to have sufficient parking <br />available to accommodate the vehicles registered, while the multi -family residential (MFR) <br />complexes appear to range from severely under -parked to potential sufficiently parked. <br />The Eastside District map (Exhibit 1) indicates a distinct parking shortage in the most of the MFR <br />blocks east of Standard Avenue with parking supply -to -demand ratios at less than 0.8.
