Adopt an ordinance amending the regular parking meter rates from $1.50 to $2.00 per hour; and establish the hours of parking meter operations from 8:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday in the Downtown Zone of the Parking Meter District, effective January 1, 2020. 2. Adopt a resolution to direct the City's parking operator, SP Plus, to program parking facility equipment at the four (4) City -owned Parking Structures located in the Downtown area to allow a two (2)-hour parking grace period, effective December 1, 2019. DISCUSSION Santa Ana's downtown parking system consists of approximately 3,234 municipally owned parking spaces. Of these spaces, 1,245 are on -street metered spaces. Downtown on -street meters are designed for short-term parking. Long-term and overflow parking is available through five (5) parking facilities with 1,989 spaces. Specifically, the spaces are located within four (4) facilities which are multi -level parking structures accommodating both transient and monthly patrons and a surface lot that accommodates solely transient patrons. In late 2014, City staff began to assess the conditions of the parking operations. The initial findings indicated an imbalanced pricing model, outdated parking equipment, and a lack of parking 75B-1 Public Hearing — Adopt Ordinance to Amend Parking Rates & Hours November 5, 2019 Page 2 related amenities. Because of the findings, staff conducted parking rate surveys, walk and talk tours, and hosted and attended meetings to engage stakeholders in order to gain a better understanding of the needs of the Downtown. With the collaboration of various Downtown stakeholders, the results led to the formation and adoption of the Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan and a governing Ordinance NS-2880 (Ordinance) and Resolution No. 2015-038 (Resolution) adopted by City Council on August 4, 2015. The Ordinance amended parking meter rates from $1.00 per hour to $1.50 per hour in the Downtown Zone and in the Midtown Zone; the Ordinance also established the hours of parking meter operations from 8:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. in the Downtown Zone Monday through Saturday, redefined boundaries of the meter zones within the meter district to reflect current parking practices, and modified parking regulations on Fourth Street between Ross Street and Mortimer Street to allow parking from 8:00 a.m. — 4:00 a.m. All revenues received from the amended parking rates funded the Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan. Staff is now proposing the adoption of a new Ordinance (Exhibit 1) increasing the parking meter rates by $0.50 within the Downtown Zone including the Third Street and Bush Lot. Additionally, the Ordinance proposes to increase the hours of operation to include Sunday of each week from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. within the Downtown Zone. The parking meter rates and hours of operation would remain unchanged within both the Willard and Midtown Zone(s) (Exhibit 3). Two -Hour Grace Period at City Parking Facilities In order to minimize impact for patrons of downtown businesses, staff is proposing to program automated parking equipment at the four (4) City -owned parking facilities located in the Downtown area to allow for a two (2)-hour grace period. The City's parking operator, SP Plus, has estimated that the implementation of a two (2)-hour grace period may result in a potential revenue loss of approximately $113,000. In addition, Staff recommends that the City Manager be granted authority to be able to vary the parking grace period for each of the parking garages as necessary in the future, but not to exceed a two (2)-hour grace period (Exhibit 2). Parking Structures (Garages) Rate Increase: As allowed by Resolution 2015-038, the City Manager has approved an increase to the parking structure rates, effective December 1, 2019, to $1.50 per hour; $10.00 daily maximum; and $50.00 per month for unreserved and $60.00 per month for reserved; the surface lot will remain the same at $1.50 per hour, unless an additional rate increase is approved by the City Council. Successes and Accomplishments with the Adoption of the Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan: Listed below are completed projects by Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA). The list includes projects in progress and operations maintained by FMSA to date related to the Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan: 75B-2 Public Hearing — Adopt Ordinance to Amend Parking Rates & Hours November 5, 2019 Page 3 Project Status Revision of Parking Ordinance and Resolution Completed — August 2015 Adjustment of Parking Meter Rates Completed — October 2015 Reduction of Expired Meter Citations Completed — October 2015 DTSA PD Patrol — 4 Dedicated Officers Completed — February 2016 LED Lighting Retrofit — Parking Structures Completed — March 2016 DTSA Lunch Trolley Completed — June 2016 DTSA Security Cameras Completed — August 2016 Public Restrooms — 3rd & Bush Lot Completed — October 2017 Public Murals Installations Completed — December 2017 DTSA Bike Racks Completed — January 2018 Public Restrooms — Plaza Calle Cuatro Completed — November 2018 Parking Operations Office Completed — December 2018 Automated Parking Equipment Completed — January 2019 Bush Parking Lot - EV Charging Station Completed — May 2019 DTSA Landscaping and Clean Team Monthly DTSA 2nd St. Fountain Maintenance Monthly DTSA Holiday Decorations/ Lights Annual DTSA Liaison and Parking Meter Staff Active Modernization of Parking Structures: The off-street parking structures have been significantly upgraded and enhanced. The City has invested in replacing the parking and access revenue control systems (PARCS) with modern and automated equipment replacements. This type of automated equipment will result in substantial savings, as they require decreased staffing levels. Upgrades to the lighting fixtures, elevators, landscaping, and proper signage have all been completed as a part of the enhancement projects. Installation of security cameras in the parking structures have complemented the security presence in the Downtown. Downtown Enhancements and Parkina Modernization Plan - Safety. Staff. Maintenance. Marketing, and Other Amenities Moving Forward: The Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan was developed in support of the City's goal to ensure the downtown parking system is being operated, managed, and developed in accordance with stakeholder, professional and technological best practices. Downtown Santa Ana features a dynamic mix of housing, office space, retail, dining, entertainment, and civic attractions and amenities. To continue building on Santa Ana's success and assist the Downtown business zone reach their full potential, it will be necessary to carry on and support the enhancements to the Downtown area by maintaining security cameras, maintenance, marketing, and other amenities. 75B-3 Public Hearing — Adopt Ordinance to Amend Parking Rates & Hours November 5, 2019 Page 4 With recent downtown business and residential growth and substantial mixed -use development, either under construction or near groundbreaking, it is critical that the City continue to effectively allocate resources — including the public parking network — to serve existing and future Downtown needs. As parking demands steadily increase, so does the expense of regulating and maximizing the utility of the City's parking structures and on -street parking spaces. The parking system is financed through the "Parking Enterprise Fund," which captures all parking revenue, including parking citation revenues. The Parking Enterprise Fund provides for cost recovery for day-to-day expenses, such as maintenance and operations, as well as contributions to downtown business groups and programs. Cost increases have outpaced parking revenue, and the modernization improvements depleted the parking fund balance. To continue funding of parking operations, dedicated police officers and contributions to the downtown groups, Staff proposes a meter rate increase of $0.50. RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends a rate adjustment for the City's on -street parking meters. The rate adjustment will establish the parking meters rate in the Downtown Zone from $1.50 per hour to $2.00 per hour (Exhibit 1). The Willard Zone and Midtown Zone will remain unchanged. Additionally, Staff recommends to expand the hours of operation to include Sunday of each week from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. within the Downtown Zone. The stakeholder participants and staff agreed that the recommended parking meter rate adjustment and hours of operations will not take place until January 1, 2020. Furthermore, Staff also recommends the implementation of two-hour grace period to be programmed at the four (4) parking facilities located in the Downtown Zone. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #3 Economic Development, Objective #4 (Continue to pursue objectives that shape downtown Santa Ana into a thriving, culturally diverse, shopping, dining, and entertainment destination.), Strategy #B (create a comprehensive program manage parking that includes innovative strategies to provide parking, create revenue and enhance accessibility in the downtown). FISCAL IMPACT It is estimated that, the proposed meter rate increase will generate an additional $400,000 in annual Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (No. 02710002-53804) to help rebalance the existing fund expenditures. 75B-4 Public Hearing — Adopt Ordinance to Amend Parking Rates & Hours November 5, 2019 Page 5 Implementation of a two-hour grace period may reduce revenue in the following parking structure accounts as follows: • Broadway Structure Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (No. 02710002-53903) - $28,250 • Spurgeon Structure Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (No. 02710002-53904) - $28,250 • Birch Structure Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (No. 02710002-53905) - $28,250 • Main Structure Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (No. 02710002-53906) - $28,250 G1»061TA:I FT" rU11]011]`y9►1.L0KK.1110r�yl Kathryn Downs, CPA Executive Director Finance and Management Services Agency Exhibits: 1.
