RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt an ordinance to approve the transfer of the Parking Operations Program (off-street parking
facilities and on -street parking meters) from the Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA)
to the Community Development Agency (CDA) effective July 1, 2020.
DISCUSSION
As part of the 2011 Budget Act, and in order to protect funding for core public services at the local
level, the Legislature approved ABX126, the dissolution of the state's 400 plus Redevelopment
Agencys (RDA). After a period of litigation, RDAs were officially dissolved as of February 1, 2012.
The dissolution of the former City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency (RDA) resulted in the
reduced staffing levels and the ability to perform core functions by the Community Development
Agency (CDA). Thus, the City's Parking Operations were not considered a core function for CDA
and were subsequently transferred to the Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA). Eight
years after the dissolution of the RDA, CDA has had the opportunity to reinstate their agency's
staffing levels, and now has the ability to re -assume the management of the Parking Operations
Program. The Parking Operations Program includes four (4) City -owned off-street parking structures
and one (1) surface lot, and off-street parking meters. The transfer of the Parking Operations
Program from FMSA to CDA, if approved, would be effective as of July 1, 2020.
Santa Ana's downtown parking system consist of roughly 3,185 municipaly-owned parking spaces;
of these spaces, 1,245 are on -street metered spaces. Downtown on -street meters are designed for
short-term parking, and long-term and overflow parking is available through five (5) parking facilities
with 1,989 spaces located Downtown. Four (4) facilities are multi -level parking structures that
accommodate both transient and monthly patrons and a surface lot that accommodates solely
transient patrons. Parking structures are correspondingly priced to encourage long-term use.

To ensure budget sustainability, the Parking Operations have enacted recent cost -saving measures
such as reduction of operating expenses for its garages; increase in parking rates for both garages
and meters; and reallocation of pension expenditures. These measures were enacted while
balancing the needs of the patrons who frequent the Downtown Area with the implementation of
grace period for customers who utilize City -Owned Parking Garages.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's effort to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective
#4 (continue to pursue objectives that shape downtown Santa Ana into a thriving, culturally divers,
shopping, dinning, and entertainment destination.), Stategy #B (create a comprehensive program
manage parking that includes innovative strategies to provide parking, create revenue and enhance
accessibility in the downtown).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

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,

defray the cost of installation, operation, and control, as well as the costs of
other parking management related activities; and
B. Planned new development and expansion in Downtown Santa Ana together with
the Orange County Street Car Project currently under construction in Santa Ana
are likely to increase traffic and parking demand and reduce the number of
available on -street parking spaces; and
C. The City has designated on -street parking spaces with parking meters in order to
regulate and manage traffic circulation and parking availability; and
D. The location of and hours for parking directly impact traffic and parking circulation
patterns, traffic congestion and other traffic hazards, and parking availability; and
E. The City Council is authorized pursuant to section 2508 of the California Vehicle
Code, to set parking hours and parking zones; and
F. The City Council may determine the City agency which shall be vested with the
administrative duties and authority to administer the City's parking meter system
and related parking meter system regulations; and
G. Based on the foregoing, it is necessary to amend various sections of the Code
in order to transfer administrative authority for the City's Parking Operations
Program from the Finance and Management Services Agency to the Community
Development Agency to better coordinate, control, and regulate traffic and
parking circulation within the City's parking district in keeping with the City's
community development efforts to improve the City's transportation network in
order to promote a more sustainable transportation system; to ensure adequate
parking availability for residents, workers, and visitors; to prevent traffic
congestion and hazardous traffic conditions; and to promote compliance and
