The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A. 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 in which parking restrictions apply to all vehicles except those vehicles that have been issued parking permits pursuant to such Article. B. On May 19, 2003, by Resolution No. 2003 -047, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana established the Fairmont Permit Parking District, as shown on Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. C. The Fairmont residential neighborhood is in need of further 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. Consistent with City policies, sufficient petitions were received from such residents to meet the criteria for permit parking. D. It is necessary to extend such parking restriction and corresponding permit parking system beyond the existing Fairmont neighborhood proper in order to protect nearby areas from increased demand for on- street parking due to the parking restrictions in the Fairmont neighborhood. E. To accommodate the present and future requests, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana now desires to expand the Fairmont Permit Parking District. Resolution No. 2016 -032 Page 1 of 5 Section 2. The Fairmont Permit Parking District is hereby to consist in its entirety as follows: the Fairmont Neighborhood bounded on the north by 17th Street and east by Lincoln Avenue, on the southwest by the Santa Ana Freeway, and shall include the new additional neighborhood Park Santiago bounded on the north by the Santiago Creek, on the east by Lincoln Avenue, on the south by 17th Street, and on the west by the Santa Ana Freeway and Main Street, as more particularly described in Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and provided that said district does not include any street on its outer boundary and said district does not include 17th Street and sections of any street abutting non - residential uses within said district's boundary. Section 3. Permit parking restrictions shall apply to all portions of the Fairmont Park Santiago Neighborhoods, unless excluded by section 2 of this resolution. Permit parking restrictions shall apply to those portions of the Fairmont Permit Parking District as are determined to be in need of such restrictions by the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency. The Executive Director of the Public Works Agency is authorized to post appropriate signs giving notice of permit parking restrictions in those portions of the District where permit parking restrictions apply. Section 4. The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to said Article XI and this resolution shall apply to any block within the Fairmont Permit Parking District only after a petition signed by the owners of sixty -six percent (66 %) or more of the residential lots abutting such block have filed a petition with the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency expressing their desire for such parking restrictions, and after signs indicating the parking restrictions on such block have been erected in accordance with said Article XI. Section 5. No person shall park or stop any vehicle on any portion of any street, at any time, within the Fairmont Permit Parking District as to which signs have been erected indicating the application of permit parking restrictions and the specific nature of the parking limitation, except persons and vehicles exempted from such parking restrictions pursuant to Article XI and this resolution. Section 6. Persons entitled to a permit in locations subject to permit restrictions pursuant to this resolution include and are limited to the following: a. Any person who is licensed to drive a motor vehicle and who resides in a single - family dwelling located on a lot in the District which does not have more than one dwelling unit located on it, provided that not more than three permits may be issued at any one time to the residents of any one such dwelling unit. b. Any person who is licensed to drive a motor vehicle and who resides in a Resolution No. 2016 -032 Page 2 of 5 jxs 04/25/2016 multiple - family dwelling located on any lot in the Fairmont Permit Parking District which does not have more than four dwelling units located on it, provided that not more than one permit may be issued at any one time to the residents of any one such dwelling unit; and provided further, that the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency may waive the foregoing limitation on the number of permits and dwelling units on a lot if he or she determines that its application in a particular case would cause extreme hardship on the residents of such dwelling units due to a severe inadequacy of on -site parking. Section 7. The Executive Director of the Public Works Agency is authorized to establish rules for the issuance of guest parking permits to residents of the District and to issue or deny such permits in accordance therewith. Such rules shall be designed to limit guest parking privileges as appropriate to provide sufficient parking for resident parking permit holders. Such rules may be revised from time to time as circumstances require. Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the Clerk of the Council shall attest to and certify the vote adopting this Resolution.
