DISCUSSION
The proposed Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan addresses the need to
modernize parking structures, enhance public amenities, and address deferred maintenance in the
Downtown. The proposed plan recommends adjusting parking rates closer to market levels based
75A -1
Downtown Enhancements and
Parking Modernization Plan

on rate surveys and studies. This plan represents the collaborative efforts and consensus of
Downtown business organizations, stakeholders, and City staff.
Currently, the City's parking amenities includes approximately 3,200 spaces, in addition to private
parking facilities throughout the Downtown. Of these spaces, 1,211 are on- street metered spaces
with approximately 500 credit card enabled meters. Downtown on- street meters are designed for
short -term parking with a two -hour maximum stay. Long term and overflow parking is available
through five parking facilities with 1,997 spaces located within Downtown. Four facilities are multi-
level parking structures that accommodate both transient and monthly patrons and one surface lot
that accommodates solely transient patrons. Parking structures are correspondingly priced to
encourage longer -term use.
Collaborative and Consensus Building Efforts with Stakeholder Input
In late 2014, City staff assessed current conditions of the parking operations. The findings
highlighted key areas of needed modernization improvements and enhanced amenities but also
recognized the necessary collaboration between stakeholders. Staff conducted walk and talk tours,
hosted and attended meetings to engage stakeholders, and gained a better understanding of the
needs of the Downtown. The results have led to the formation of the proposed Downtown
Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan, which is based on the consensus of various
Downtown businesses owners, merchants, the Santa Ana Business Council, and Downtown Inc.
Current Conditions: On- Street Parking and Off - Street Parking
Parking structure rates have not been adjusted in over 20 years and parking meter rates were last
adjusted 12 years ago, resulting in an outdated and imbalanced pricing model leading to
unfavorable parking management and customer service conditions. An environment where on- street
parking is less expensive than off - street parking typically leads to congestion as drivers continually
search for lower priced off - street parking. This creates frustration and an unpleasant experience for
Downtown visitors.
Feedback from stakeholder participants included a recommendation to address expired meter
parking citation fines. As a response, it is recommended that the fine be reduced from $56.00 to
$40.00. Reducing the citation amount encourages a business friendly Downtown.
Since being built in the 1980s, all four of the parking structures continue to operate with the original
parking equipment. The equipment is becoming more expensive to maintain, resulting in
inefficiencies and maintenance downtime. Additional improvements necessary to modernizing the
Downtown includes providing adequate lighting fixtures, proper directional signage, and aesthetics
such as paint and landscaping.

Operating Revenues and Expenses FY 2012 -2013 to FY 2013 -2014
The City's parking operating revenues and expenses highlight a downward trend of capital reserves
caused by rising maintenance cost and no adjustments in parking rates.
The steady increase in expenses highlights the need to revise the parking rate model. The current
revenue model is not sustainable and will not allow the City to perform many of the needed
modernization and deferred maintenance projects. To date, the Parking Enterprise Fund has utilized
Capital Reserves to cover the costs associated with the current level of parking operations.

Recent Successes and Accomplishments
In 2014, City staff implemented new parking technology. Parking improvements accomplished
during fiscal year 2014 -2015 are highlighted below:
• Installed IPS Smart Meters with credit capabilities.
• Installed credit card readers in parking structures.
• Eliminated meter sharing though smart sensor technology.
• Pay -by -phone capability added to Downtown parking meters.
• Implemented valet program at 3rd St. & Bush St. parking lot.
• Comprehensive parking structures assessment complete as well as a market rate
parking study.
• Ongoing improvements planned for signage, wayfinding, and lighting.
Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan
The City reviewed options with various stakeholders and built consensus from the Santa Ana
Business Council and Downtown Inc. on the modernization improvements and amenities with the
use of corresponding rate adjustments. The preliminary Parking Pro Forma (Exhibit # 1) details
improvements and amenities that are integral to the successful modernization of the parking
program and, at the same time, complement the recent economic growth in the Downtown. The
preliminary Parking Pro Forma is categorized into key areas which identify needed improvements
and amenities.
Downtown Enhancements: Safety
The City will hire four additional Police Officers dedicated exclusively to patrolling the Downtown to
increase safety. Civilian security staff levels will also be increased to assist in patrolling the parking
structures. Further enhancements will include installation of security cameras along the Downtown
to improve pedestrian safety.

Downtown Enhancements: Sanitation and Maintenance
The development of a Downtown Clean Team will ensure that a routine and proper maintenance
schedule is followed to keep Downtown clean. Further efforts will include the formation of a
recycling program to help manage and reduce refuse output and the installation of additional waste
receptacles. Installation of public restrooms will serve to maintain Downtown clean and sanitary.
Downtown Enhancements: Beautification. Marketing, and Other Amenities
To build on Santa Ana's successes and assist the Downtown in reaching its full potential, it will be
necessary to improve alleyways, sidewalks, landscaping, and lighting.
Marketing efforts will focus on creating a strong identity brand, promoting year -round events and
programs. Comprehensive marketing materials will include display of holiday decor, banners, and
postcard mailings.
To further enhance the Downtown experience, an investment in amenities such as Wi -Fi (backbone)
system and wayfinding signage are included in the plan. Transportation related amenities include
the development of a Downtown Circulator and a pilot bike share program. The creation of a
Downtown MerchantsNalidation Fund will be created to fund a validation program for participating
business and merchants to reward their customers for using the parking structures.
Parkinq Modernization: Parkinq Structures
The off - street parking structures have the greatest need of upgrades and enhancements. The City
will invest in replacing all of the parking and access revenue control systems (PARCS) with modern
and automated replacements. This type of equipment will result in substantial savings, as they
require decreased staffing levels and reduce maintenance and repair costs. Upgrades to the
lighting fixtures, elevators, paint, landscaping and proper signage, will be completed as part of the
enhancement projects. Installation of security cameras in the parking structures will complement
the enhanced security of the Downtown.
RECOMMENDATION
As a result of the collaboration and consensus building efforts with Downtown stakeholders and
business organizations, City staff recommends a rate adjustment for the City's on- street parking
meters and off - street parking structures. The rate adjustment will establish the parking meter rates
in the Midtown Zone to $1.00 per hour and the Downtown Zone to $1.50 per hour. The Willard
Zone will remain unchanged at $1.00 per hour. In addition, it is necessary to modify the parking
regulations along portions of Fourth Street to allow parking from 8am to 4am.
Off - street parking structures in the Downtown will have rates of $1.50 per hour, $10.00 daily
maximum, and monthly rates of $50.00 upon completion of said improvements. The Third Street
and Bush Street surface parking lot will have a rate of $1.50 per hour. The stakeholder participants
75A -5
Downtown Enhancements and
Parking Modernization Plan
August 4, 2015
Page 6
and staff agreed that the recommended rate adjustment will not take place until after the structure
upgrades and enhancements have been completed. This is estimated to occur after July 1, 2016.
Staff also recommends reducing the expired parking meter citation from $56.00 to $40.00. The
reduction in expired meter citation revenue will be partially offset by extending the parking
enforcement hours in the Downtown Zone from 8am to 10pm.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts 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 to
manage parking that includes innovative strategies to provide parking, create revenue and enhance
accessibility in the downtown.)
FISCAL IMPACT
All revenues received will fund the Downtown Enhancements and Parking Modernization Plan.
It is estimated that for fiscal year 2015 -16, the proposed parking meter rate increase will generate an
additional $822,000 in Parking Enterprise Fund revenue (no. 02710002- 53804).
In Fiscal year 2016 -17, the proposed parking structure rate adjustment will generate an additional
$547,600 pending the completion of the improvements (no. 02710002 - 53800).
In fiscal year 2015 -16, the proposed expired parking meter citation decrease will result in a reduction
of $132,857 and will be off -set by $55,357 increase in revenue by extending Downtown zone parking
enforcement hours from 8am to 10pm. The net reduction to the Parking Enterprise Fund is estimated
at $77,500 (no. 02710002 - 55000).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
AMENDING CHAPTER 36, ARTICLE VIII OF THE SANTA
ANA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PARKING
METERS AND ARTICLE IV RELATING TO PARKING
REGULATIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1, The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines,
and declares as follows:
A. The City Council is authorized pursuant to section 22508 of the California
Vehicle Code, to set parking rates and parking zones; and
B. The City Council has determined that a parking meter system is justified to
defray the cost of installation, operation, and control, as well as the costs of
the other parking management related activities; and
C. Revenues from parking meters will be used not only in defraying the
expenses of installation, operation, and control of parking spaces and parking
meters, but also those incurred in the control of traffic and enforcement of
traffic regulations; and
D. Revenues from parking meters may also be used to fund alternative
transportation programs, projects and enhancements that reduce the demand
for, increase supply of parking resources in the parking district in which
receipts are generated; and
E. The density of the City and the number of people working or visiting the City
on a daily basis significantly impacts traffic circulation and parking availability
on the City's existing street network and off - street parking facilities; and
F. Planned new development and expansion in Downtown Santa Ana is likely to
increase traffic and parking demand; and
G. Existing Code provisions regarding parking zones do not accurately reflect
current parking conditions in the City, and amendments to such provisions
would improve and facilitate effective management and enforcement of
parking regulations; and
H. The City has conducted stakeholder meetings and rate surveys as part of the
Parking Modernization and Downtown Enhancements Plan; and

order to regulate and manage traffic circulation and parking availability; and
J. The location of and rates for parking directly impact traffic and parking
circulation patterns, traffic congestion and other traffic hazards, and parking
availability; and
K. Adjusting the parking rates as a means of regulating the use of all City
parking facilities and resources will distribute the parking load more evenly
between residents and visitors, and maximize the utility and use of all City
parking facilities and resources, thereby making parking easier, reducing
traffic hazards and congestion, and promoting the public convenience, safety,
and welfare;
L. Based on the foregoing, it is necessary to add and amend various sections of
the Code in order to better manage, control, and regulate traffic and parking
circulation throughout the City; to improve the City's transportation network in
order to promote a more sustainable transportation system; to ensure
