DISCUSSION The City's Permit Parking Program was established in 1987 by Ordinance NS-1919 to protect residential neighborhood integrity against vehicular parking intrusion into residential neighborhoods from commuter, non-residential, and other uses. The ordinance allows for establishment of permit parking districts by City Council resolution. The Flower Park Permit Parking District (Exhibit 1) was created by Resolution 91-087 to limit the daytime parking intrusion incidental to nearby governmental and commercial activities. The existing resolution allows for restricted parking between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on non -holiday weekdays. However, the resolution does not allow for permit parking restrictions beyond the specified hours, such as during nighttime hours or during weekends. Recently, owners of residential properties on several streets within the Flower Park Permit Parking District have noted a lack of available overnight street parking and asked staff to expand the City's permit parking program to provide the option of overnight and weekend residential permit -only parking. Therefore, to accommodate current and future requests, staff recommends amending the existing Flower Park Permit Parking District hourly restriction from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays excepted) to a 24-hour/7-day restriction. The proposed amendment also preserves the 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. restriction, if any of the blocks within the district wish to keep or add the specific daytime parking restriction. The resolution, if adopted, only affects the hourly restriction that may be allowed if permit parking were to be established on a particular block within the permit parking district (Exhibit 2). For example, after a need for permit parking has been investigated and confirmed by the City, permit parking is established on a block -by -block basis through a City -supplied petition. For a petition to pass, at least 66% of the affected residential property owners must indicate their support for permit parking on their block. This process is done administratively. 55C-1 Resolution Amending Resolution 91-087 Flower Park Permit Parking District February 18, 2020 Page 2 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #4 (support neighborhood vitality and livability).

D. Owners of residential properties in the Flower Park Permit Parking District have noted a lack of available overnight parking on their streets and have asked to extend the effective hours of the parking restrictions to include all times, with no exceptions.
