boundaries that could help delineate the impact area.
9. In the event a public meeting is opened but continued to a date certain by the
Traffic Committee, further notice is not required but may be given at the City
Engineer's discretion.
10. In the event a public meeting is opened but continued to a date certain by the
City Council, further notice is not required but may be given at the City
Council's discretion.
E. Implementation of a Preferential Parking Zone
Before an approved preferential parking zone will be implemented at least sixty-
six percent (66%) of the households in the zone shall have purchased Annual or
Visitor parking permits.
Once the sixty-six percent (66%) threshold has been satisfied the Engineering

the fact that motor vehicles with valid permits shall be exempt. PPZ - Procedures and Regulations
November 22, 2004
Page 7 of 16
1. A motor vehicle displaying a valid Annual or Visitor parking permit or one-day
or three-day Guest Pass, as provided for herein, shall be permitted to be
parked on any block within the preferential parking zone for which it was
issued without being limited by posted parking restrictions established
pursuant to this section.
2. Except as provided below, all other motor vehicles and/or vehicles parked
within a preferential parking zone shall be subject to the parking restrictions
adopted as provided in this section.
3. A preferential parking permit shall not guarantee nor reserve to the holder any
on-street parking space within the designated preferential parking zone.
4. Annual or Visitor parking permit or one-day or three-day Guest Pass, as
provided for herein, shall only exempt the motor vehicle from certain parking
prohibitions and/or restrictions within the preferential parking zone for which it
was issued, and not scheduled street sweeping, painted curb zones, and/or
proximity to driveways, alleyways and street intersection and fire hydrants etc.,
restrictions.
F. Modification of a Preferential Parking Zone
1. The Engineering Division staff may periodically review preferential parking
zone boundaries and recommend, to the Traffic Committee, City Engineer
and City Council, the expansion of and/or consolidation of adjacent zones into
a larger zone where such expansion/consolidation will aid in the
administration and enforcement of the preferential parking program and
where the Program Criteria are found to be satisfied.
2. The residents may also request modification of an approved preferential
parking zone.
3. Modification of any approved preferential parking zone shall be considered at
noticed public meetings following the same criteria and procedures used
herein for establishment of a zone.
G. Temporary Suspension of Preferential Parking Restrictions
1. The City Engineer, based on recommendation of the Traffic Committee
adopted at a noticed public meeting, may temporarily suspend preferential
parking restrictions in zones adjacent to sites of special City and/or Culver
City Unified School District (CCUSD) sponsored events. Events such as
fairs, community wide celebrations, annual Fourth of July Fireworks
2. PPZ - Procedures and Regulations
November 22, 2004
Page 8 of 16
programs, CCUSD graduations and similar types of activities may qualify as
special events.
2. The City Engineer, based on recommendation of the Traffic Committee
adopted at a noticed public meeting, may temporarily suspend preferential
parking restrictions in zones adjacent to non-governmental special events
subject to compliance with all of the following criteria:
a. The applicants for temporary suspension of the preferential parking
restrictions shall submit a written request endorsed by over Seventy-five
percent (75%) of the households on the blocks where the restrictions are
proposed to be temporarily suspended; and,
b. The applicants shall be required to reimburse the City for all costs to install
and remove covers on parking restriction signage.
H. Removal of a Preferential Parking Zone
1. Once a zone has been posted for preferential parking, voluntary removal of
parking restrictions shall be contingent on sixty-six percent (66%) of the
households on the block submitting a petition requesting removal of the
preferential parking zone.
2. The City Engineer shall have the authority to dissolve a preferential parking
zone if requested by appropriate petition or when the number of Annual and
Visitor permits is less than 66 % of the households on any posted block(s)
within the zone.
3. A review of the preferential parking zone permit/renewal sales will be
conducted within 90 days after the end of the calendar year. If the renewal
sales at that time are below the required 75% threshold, permit holders will be
notified that their zone may be recommended for dissolution, unless the
required numbers of permits are purchased within 30 days.
4. When a preferential parking zone has been dissolved pursuant to
Subsections 1 or 2, it will not be considered for re-establishment for a period
of three years from the date of dissolution.
5. As an alternative to dissolution of a preferential parking zone, the City
Engineer may authorize removal of preferential parking restrictions from one
or more blocks in a preferential parking zone when Annual and/or Visitor
permits purchased on the block(s) fall below sixty-six percent (66%) of
households threshold and where the remaining posted blocks can still meet
13 PPZ - Procedures and Regulations
November 22, 2004
Page 9 of 16
the minimum criteria for a zone.
I. Program Criteria
1. In order to qualify for establishment of a preferential parking zone the
proposed preferential parking zone shall be at least one block long and
adjacent to residential uses. A block may be considered from intersection to
intersection, or from alley to residential intersection if an alley exists dividing
the reach into non-residential and residential uses or as determined in
accordance with Subsection 5.b, below. The identified street frontage of the
block shall be immediately adjacent to property designated as residentially
zoned property on the City's current Zoning District Map or within a specific
area in a designated land use Zone and/or "Overlay Zone" which specifically
allows residential uses and is designated as eligible. Preferential parking
zones may consist of only one side of a street or multiple streets.
2. In order to determine if the proposed preferential parking zone is impacted,
the Engineering Division shall conduct at least six (6) random field inspections
during the course of a three (3) week period. The inspections shall occur
within the time periods when the impact is occurring, as specified in the
neighborhood's petition. In order to be considered as excessively impacted
by commuter parking, the parking utilization shall meet the minimum
standards specified in Subsections 1. 3. or 4. below, on at least six (6)
occasions during a three (3) week period.
3. For purposes of establishing "Time Limit Parking Except by Permit"
Preferential Parking Zones:
Parking will be considered excessively impacted by on-street parking of
commuter vehicles on streets in a residential area when:
a. More than Seventy-five percent (75%) of the legal on-street parking
spaces are occupied by resident and non—resident motor vehicles; and
b. More than Twenty-five percent (25%) of the legal on-street parking spaces
are occupied by non-resident motor vehicles.
4. For purposes of establishing "No Parking Anytime Except by Permit"
Preferential Parking Zones:
Parking will be considered excessively impacted by on-street parking of
commuter vehicles on streets in a residential area when: PPZ - Procedures and Regulations
November 22, 2004
Page 10 of 16
a. More than Seventy-five percent (75%) of the legal on-street parking
spaces are occupied by resident and non-resident motor vehicles; and
b. More than Fifty percent (50%) of the legal on-street parking spaces are
occupied by non-resident motor vehicles.
5. Notwithstanding the foregoing criteria, the Engineering Division, in
determining whether an area is eligible to be designated as a preferential
parking zone, may consider factors which include but are not limited to the
following:
a. The extent to which legal on-street parking spaces are available for the
use of residents and their guests, rather than occupied by commuter
vehicles. Typically, this may occur when the street is shorter than typical
residential streets serving similar residential uses or when physical
development or topography has resulted in limited curb space availability
for on-street parking.
b. The area is intersected by City jurisdictional boundaries which result in
problems in enforcing parking and traffic regulations.
c. Whether other measures would better solve the problem (e.g., additional
parking restrictions, or strict enforcement of existing or additional
restrictions which would not result in the establishment of a preferential
parking zone).
d. Whether the boundaries of the proposed preferential parking zone should
include not only those areas that experience the greatest parking
congestion, but also those areas that would likely experience congestion
due to future relocation of the existing parking demand. If the City
Engineer determines that the zone should be expanded the Engineering
Division shall be responsible for coordinating with the areas outside of the
originally requested Preferential Parking Zone.
J. Petition Criteria
The Engineering Division will verify that the petition requesting establishment of a
preferential parking zone meets all of the following criteria:
1. The petition shall be signed by at least 75% of the households in each block
in the area described in the petition. Only one valid signature per household
will be counted towards establishing the 75% of households' threshold.
15 PPZ - Procedures and Regulations
November 22, 2004
Page 11 of 16
2. All the petitioners shall reside within the proposed preferential parking zone.
3. The petition shall indicate that the residents or neighborhood organization(s)
desire the establishment of a preferential parking zone and are willing to bear
the cost of such a program. The petition must indicate the willingness of the
residents to participate in the program by purchasing Annual or Visitor
permits.
4. The petition shall identify the designated "Neighborhood Representative" and,
if applicable, the "Neighborhood Organization" who will act as the main
contact for the neighborhood.
5. The petition shall include the printed name, signature, and complete address
of each petitioner.
6. The petition shall list the license plate numbers of all motor vehicles used by
each household listed on the petition.
7. The petition shall document the number of households represented by
signatures relative to the total number of households in the area proposed for
a preferential parking zone.
8. The petition shall state how the residential area is being impacted by
commuter vehicle parking, identify the non-residential activities which are
generating the parking impacts and the time periods when the impacts are
occurring.
9. The petition shall specify the type, day(s) and time of parking restrictions
being requested by the petitioners.
K. Guidelines for Issuance of Preferential Parking Permits
Annual and/or Visitor parking permits shall be issued by the Engineering Division
and shall be valid for a period not to exceed one calendar year. Permits may be
renewed annually upon reapplication in the manner required by these guidelines.
Each application for a parking permit shall contain information sufficient to identify
the applicant, their residence address or address of real property owned or leased
within a preferential parking zone, the license number(s) of the motor vehicle(s)
for which application is made, and such other information that may be deemed
relevant by the Engineering Division.
1. Application for Annual and/or Visitor permits, replacement permits and/or
transfer of permits and one-day and/or three-day Guest Passes shall be PPZ - Procedures and Regulations

submitted in person at the Engineering Division office. For purposes of this
provision any person who can provide proof of residency in the subject
household may apply for Annual or Visitor permits and one-day and/or three-
day Guest Passes on behalf of other members of that household. All such
applications shall be made, in person, at the Engineering Division Office.
2. Only two (2) Annual parking permits may be issued per household. Annual
permits shall only be issued to residents of the preferential parking zone and
the motor vehicles, which are registered to the resident's address, except as
noted in Subsection 5.b. below. Absentee landlords may purchase one
Annual permit after providing proof of ownership to the Engineering Division
Office.
3. Up to two (2) Visitor parking permits may be issued to households within a
preferential parking zone, only in lieu of the Annual permits.
4. Notwithstanding 2. and 3. above, additional Annual and Visitor Parking
Permits may be allowed pursuant to Section L (Hardship Exemptions).
5. Annual permits shall require that the following vehicle documents be provided
to the Engineering Division Office:

Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing two Preferential
Parking Districts (West Triangle Residential Parking District and Globe-Sawtelle
Residential Parking District) and rescinding Resolution No. 2011-R015.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past several months, the subject neighborhoods’ residents were invited to
attend several noticed community meetings to learn about and provide input
regarding the proposed Market Hall development in the West Triangle neighborhood
and the proposed Habitat For Humanity Single Family Homes development in the
Globe-Sawtelle neighborhood. At the meetings, the residents of each neighborhood
discussed one topic under the charge of the Public Works Department: the creation
of a permit parking district due to existing non-residential parking intrusion and as
protection from potential parking intrusion related to the proposed developments.
DISCUSSION:
During the community meetings, the residents expressed the following concerns,
among others: 1) intrusion by non-residential parking; 2) loitering and littering;
3) lack of available parking for residents’ visitors; and 4) the proposed developments’
potential parking demands. The residents also requested that the City Council
consider approving a permit parking district, for each neighborhood, without being

Agenda Item Report
required to go through the process established in the Preferential Parking Zone
Establishment Process, as set forth in Section C of the Procedures and Regulations
for Preferential Parking Zones (PPZ Procedures), in order to expedite formation of
the districts. The Community Development Department supports the
neighborhoods’ request.
It should be noted that similar situations occurred in November 2008 with the
approval of the Linwood Howe Residential Parking District, and in February 2011
with the approval of the Tilden Avenue Residential Parking District. In each case,
the City Council waived certain requirements set forth in the PPZ Procedures based
on the anticipated parking impacts spreading throughout the districts from the
developments. The City Council’s adoption of these districts ensured uniformity of
parking restrictions for the entire neighborhoods.
The PPZ Procedures articulate the following purpose:
“The primary purpose of a preferential parking district shall be to limit
excessive intrusion of non-residential parking into residential neighborhoods,
where such parking practices have negatively impacted the residential area.
In addition, to support the primary purpose of the preferential parking zone,
restrictions may be implemented that help to enhance the quality of life in
residential neighborhoods by reducing noise, traffic hazards and litter; and to
encourage carpooling and use of transit.”
Staff believes the two proposed districts conform to the aforementioned paragraph.
Staff has not conducted the required action items in the PPZ Procedures, including:
the license plate checks to verify if there is significant non-resident parking intrusion
into the neighborhood, absence of available parking for visitors, and contact with the
Police Department regarding reported complaints of loitering and littering in the
neighborhood. However, it is staff’s opinion that waiver of certain requirements of
the PPZ Procedures and approval of the two parking districts is warranted based on
the scarcity of parking in the adjacent commercial district and testimony from
residents living in the respective areas, plus the anticipated parking demands from
the upcoming developments.
In addition to the above procedures, staff recommends the City Council also waive
the following:
1. The payment of an application fee of $250; and,
2. Consideration by the Traffic Committee.
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
Proposed Parking Districts
Based on the input from the residents who attended the noticed community
meetings for each development, and based on such residents’ voiced support of
proposed parking time-restrictions that would address their respective parking needs
as presented by staff at such meetings, the following restrictions and streets are
proposed (residential adjacencies only):
West Triangle Residential Parking District
Proposed Restriction: Permit-Parking Only (resident-only parking)
5 pm to 12 midnight, daily
Proposed Streets: 1) Colonial Avenue, from Washington Place to the alley
north of Washington Boulevard;
2) Wasatch Avenue, from Washington Place to the alley
north of Washington Boulevard;
3) Boise Avenue, from Washington Place to the alley
north of Washington Boulevard; and
4) The south side of Washington Place, from the
residential development west of Boise Avenue, to the
residential development west of Centinela Avenue
(the north side is not in Culver City)
5) Herbert Street, from Centinela Avenue to Grand View
Boulevard, and Herbert Way, from Herbert Street to
the cul-de-sac. These streets currently have permit
parking restricted to 2-hours from 6 am to 12
midnight, Monday through Saturday. However, the
proposed resident-only parking, from 5 pm to 12
midnight would substitute only the same hours and
leave the existing 2-hour restriction from 6 am to 5
pm.
Please see the map below for an illustration of the above.
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
Globe-Sawtelle Residential Parking District
Proposed Restriction: 2-Hour Time-Limited Parking without a permit
(Residents with permits and their guests with permits may
exceed the 2-hour limitation)
8 am to 6 pm
Monday through Saturday
Proposed Streets: 1) Globe Avenue, from the alley south of Washington
Place to the alley north of Washington Boulevard;
2) Sawtelle Boulevard, from alley south of Washington
Place to the Herbert Street/alley north of Washington
Boulevard;
Please see the map below for an illustration of the above.
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
Proposed Parking Restrictions
Should the City Council adopt the proposed resolution, this would empower the
residents to implement permit parking if 75% or more of the households on any
block within the district sign a petition supporting permit parking. After staff approves
the petition, the residents are required to pay $55 per sign per the current City
Council adopted Fee Schedule for installation by the City.
City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
Residents of preferential parking zones pay $18 per calendar year (per the current
City Council adopted Fee Schedule), for each of two parking permits. The fee is
prorated in August to $8 for the balance of the calendar year. Additionally, the
neighborhood representatives who coordinate the submittal of the petition are
required to pay the cost for the street signs to give notice to the public and enforce
the preferential parking restrictions (presently $55 per sign). The fees received are
deposited in the General Fund. Should the City Council approve the subject parking
districts the application fee of $250 would be waived, as stated previously.
The Public Works Department currently issues about 1,500 parking permits in a
calendar year. If all the streets within these two parking districts eventually have
75% or more support for parking permits, it is estimated that an additional 314
parking permits will have to be issued. The Public Works Department will be
required to absorb this additional workload. The $18 per calendar year for each of
two parking permits does not cover staff administration time to manage this program.
The Police Department will be required to absorb the enforcement of parking
restrictions with its existing staff when any streets within the districts are activated for
permit parking.
