CITY OF PLEASANTON REVISED PERMIT PARKING ZONE GUIDELINES 10/98 DRAFT 1. The purpose of these Guidelines is to establish the procedures and regulations relative to the establishment of permit parking zones within the City of Pleasanton. 2. Legal ities Prior to the actual establishment of a zone, the City must adopt an ordinance which sets forth the terms and conditions upon which a zone may be established. The ordinance must be based on certain findings, which substantiate the zone. An example of possible findings is as follows: A. A demonstration that a problem exists. This is usually accomplished by showing that approximately 70% of the available parking spots are occupied by non-residents. B. The litter and noise generated by the parking is of such a degree that it detracts from the tranquillity of the neighborhood and negatively effects the property values of the residences. C. City-conducted traffic counts show a significant increase in volumes as a result of parking patterns. D. Accident studies reveal that the on-street parking is creating an unsafe situation. E. Submittal of a petition signed by at least 67% of the area's property owners/occupants showing support for the preferential zone. F. The area in question must be sufficient in size to warrant a permit parking zone. In other words, a permit parking zone could not be established for one-half of a block on a small street. G. Determination and identification that more desirable alternative parking locations exist for vehicles of non-residents which will be displaced because of zone restriction. The ordinance will also contain a "Sunset Clause" which will take effect one year after the effective date of the ordinance, unless the ordinance is extended by the City -1 10/01/98
