_RESOLUTION NO. 91- 020
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING
THE WILLARD PERMIT PARKING DISTRICT
2/5/91
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XI (commencing with Section 36-
480) of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, the City
Council of the City of Santa Ana is authorized to adopt resolutions
establishing Permit Parking Districts wherein parking restrictions
apply to all vehicles except vehicles which have been issued
parking permits pursuant to said Article; and
WHEREAS, this Council finds and determines that the Willard
residential neighborhood is in need of parking restrictions to
protect its integrity from the intrusion of vehicular parking
incidental to commercial and governmental activities, to allow for
adequate emergency vehicle access, to counter the visually
blighting effect of highly intensive on-street parking, and to
discourage overcrowding of dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide for the exemption from
such parking restrictions, through the provision of a permit
parking system, for residents in single-family and two-family
dwellings and for residents in federally funded low income rental
projects, in order to avoid the undue hardship on such residents
which would otherwise result due to the nonavailability of adequate
on-site parking; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to extend such parking restrictions
and corresponding permit parking system beyond the Willard neigh-
borhood proper in order to protect nearby areas from increased
demand for on-street parking due to the parking restrictions in the
Willard neighborhood;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

blished, to consist of that area of the City of Santa delineated on
