Related Bristol Specific Plan Entitlements & Development Agreement (3600 S. Bristol St.) and Staff Resolution Modifying Parking Districts in the Surrounding Area September 17, 2024 Page 36 Implementation of the restrictions will continue to require a minimum of 66 percent of the affected petitioned properties vote in favor of the restrictions. Upon completion of the Citywide parking study, staff will present the City Council recommended parking strategies and regulations for consideration and adoption, which may or may not include the amendments considered in the proposed resolution (Exhibit 17). General Plan Consistency of the Resolution Amending Permit Parking Districts The proposed resolution amending Resolution No. 91-088, Resolution No. 93-076, and Resolution No. 2000-062 amendment to the Residential Permit Parking program supports and is consistent with multiple General Plan goals and policies of the Mobility Element, Land Use Element, and Housing Element. Addressing relevant permit parking programs and parking impacts is identified in multiple General Plan implementation actions of the Mobility Element, Land Use Element, and Housing Element. Exhibit 19 to this staff report contains a list of all applicable General Plan goals and policies that support this recommended action. Environmental Impact of the Resolution Amending Permit Parking Districts The action to adopt a resolution amending Resolution No. 91-088, Resolution No. 93- 076, and Resolution No. 2000-062 regarding Permit Parking District petitions is not a "project" subject to CEQA and no environmental review is required. Even if the action could be construed as a CEQA "project", the proposed resolution requires no further environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15378(b) of the CEQA Guidelines defines a "Project" that is subject to CEQA review as an activity that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, stating that "Projects do not include" ongoing "administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies, personnel - related actions, general policy and procedure making [Section 15378(b)(2)]" and "organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment [Section 15378(b)(5)]." The proposed amendment to Resolution No. 91-088, Resolution No. 93-076, and Resolution No. 2000-062 modifies administration of an existing parking district program by allowing a single permit parking petition to be considered for multiple, contiguous residential blocks (rather than a separate permit parking petition for each individual block). Thus, no direct or indirect physical changes in the environment will result and accordingly, the proposed resolution is not a "project" subject to CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15060(c)(2)- (3).)
