Pursuant to Article XI (commencing with Section 36-480) of Chapter 36 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, (hereinafter "Article xr') the City Council of the City of Santa Ana is authorized to adopt a resolution establishing Permit Parking Districts wherein parking restrictions apply to all vehicles except vehicles which have been issued parking permits pursuant to said Article. C The South Metro residential neighborhood is in need of 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. SECTION 2: The South Metro Permit Parking District is hereby established, to consist of that area of the City of Santa Ana generally bounded on the north by Warner Avenue, on the east by Bristol Street, on the south by Sunflower Avenue and City limits, and on the west by Fairview Street, as more particularly depicted in Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. SECTION 3: The parking restrictions imposed pursuant to Article Xl and this Resolution shall apply to any block within the South Metro 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 Article XI. SECTION 4: No person shall park any vehicle at any time on any portion of any street within the South Metro Permit Parking District as to which signs have been erected Resolution No. 2000-062 Page 1 of 3 308 indicating the application of permit parking restrictions, except persons and vehicles exempted from such parking restrictions pursuant to Article Xl and this resolution. SECTION 5: As indicated by posted signs, permit parking restrictions in the South Metro Parking District do not include sections of streets that abut the front of non- residential and multi-family uses with more than four dwelling units. SECTION 6: Persons entitled to a permit to park in locations subject to permit parking 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 in the South Metro Permit Parking District, 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 multi-family dwelling located on any lot in the South Metro 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 resident of anyone such dwelling unit; and provided further, that the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency may waive the foregoing limitation on the number of dwelling units on a lot if he 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 South Metro Permit Parking 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. ADOPTED this 18th day of September, 2000. Al-rEST: Patricia E. Healy Clerk of the Council Mi'eel A.
