City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve permit parking on Cattaraugus
Avenue between the alley south of Washington Boulevard and Jacob Street.
BACKGROUND:
In July, 2005, a petition requesting ‘no parking anytime, except by permit’ on
Cattaraugus Avenue between the alley south of Washington Boulevard and Jacob
Street was received from Mr. Victor Clemens. The petition requested the above
limitations be in place 24-hours per day, 7 days per week. Current preferential
parking guidelines state that in order for a street to be considered for preferential
parking, a petition must be signed by at least 75% of the affected households on the
street. The petition for this case was signed by 83% of the affected households.
The petition was subsequently brought before the Traffic Committee at its August
31, 2005 meeting. Mr. Clemens, author of the petition, was invited to attend the
Traffic Committee meeting, and he attended along with other residents of
Cattaraugus Avenue. The Committee, after discussion and dialog with the residents
and a member of the local business community, amended the original petition, by a
motion to recommend 2-hour time-limited permit parking, instead of the original 24/7
request. This motion was passed on a 4-1 vote to recommend approval to the City
Engineer and subsequently to the City Council.
Meeting Date: 09/19/05 Item Number: C-2
AGENDA ITEM: Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Preferential Parking on
Cattaraugus Avenue Between the Alley South of Washington Boulevard and Jacob
Street, Adopt Resolution 2005-R_____ and Rescind Resolution 2004-R 085.

City Council Agenda Item Report
DISCUSSION:
The section of Cattaraugus Avenue under consideration is adjacent to Washington
Boulevard, a C-3 commercial zone. According to Mr. Clemens, many of the patrons
and employees of the businesses on Washington Boulevard park their vehicles on
Cattaraugus Avenue, making it difficult for residents of this street to park near their
homes. According to the Rules and Procedures for Preferential Parking Districts:
‘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.’
In order to assess the degree of impacted parking on this street, visual inspections
were done at different times on different days periodically by City staff. The
inspections revealed that approximately 75% to 95% of the available parking on this
street was utilized at any given time.
As with the installation of any preferential parking zone, there always exists the
possibility of non-residential parking spillover to other neighboring streets. Currently,
Helms Avenue, Caroline Avenue, and Fay Avenue have permit parking. Therefore,
with the inclusion of Cattaraugus Avenue as a preferential parking zone, non-
permitted vehicles that would normally park on Cattaraugus may park on other
nearby streets such as Sherbourne Drive and Fay Avenue. (Currently, staff is
processing a “time-limited permit parking” petition from the residents of Sherbourne
Avenue, north of Jacob Avenue, which is adjacent to the area under consideration.)
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
342 residents and property owners in the project area and within the one-block
radius were mailed a postcard on September 9, 2005, at a cost of $91.77.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The current permit parking fee is $16.00 for each permit issued at the beginning of
each calendar year. The fee is prorated quarterly as per adopted guidelines. The
fees received will be deposited to the General Fund.City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
It is understood by Mr. Clemens that the petitioning party assumes the cost of the
signs posted in the public right-of-way, should this request be approved. Six signs,
at a cost of $35 each will be necessary between the alley south of Washington
Boulevard and Jacob Street. This will amount to $210 which the residents of
Cattaraugus Avenue will need to pay prior to installation of time-limit parking
restrictions.

Avenue residents' expense Urges the Committee to approve the petition
Calls Mr Irwin Borovay
Says that he has owned a business on Washington Boulevard for 33 years and

restriction, especially on Saturdays when his business does need parking on
Cattaraugus Avenue Adds that businesses will have to leave the area if there
is no parking available Asks the Committee to think about the merchants
Introduces Ms Elizabeth Krown Spellman
States that she owns two homes on Cattaraugus and three cars and that it is
difficult to find parking Adds that her husband is disabled and for that reason,
he parks his car in the driveway Further adds that a Washington Boulevard
business often parks its van in front of her home and that on trash pick-up day,
there is no place to put the trash cans Says that perhaps public parking should
be considered for the businesses on Washington Boulevard

Calls Ms Kathleen Schmitt

Wednesday August 31, 2005
Romo Asks Mr Solis to read into the record some wntten correspondence from
citizens who could not attend the meeting
Solis
Reads a letter from Ms Esther Rodnguez of 3415 and 3415 1/4 Sherbourne
Drive "To Whom It May Concern I am a homeowner and my house is one
block west of Cattauragus Avenue I object to the above petition based on the
fact that the current vehicles that parked on that street will either use
Sherbourne Dnve or Faye in lieu of Cattauragus if the Petition is granted This
will cause the a worse situation on Sherbourne Dnve because we already have
excessive parking from vehicles who are dnven by people who work for the
surrounding business (that do not provide parking) Including but not limited
to business located south of Jefferson and on Washington Blvd Please accept
this letter as my objection as I am on disability and not able to attend the
meeting Very Truly yours, (signed) Esther Rodriguez" States the letter is
dated August 18, 2005
Sobs Next reads an e-mail from Ms Carolyn Bosil of 3409 Cattaraugus Avenue
"Dear Mr Solis, I just spoke to you via phone about the impact new
construction on Washington Blvd near Cattaraugus is going to have on not
only the 3300 block but on the 3400 block as well I know the residents of the
3300 block of Cattaraugus have their signed petition ready to go and for review
on August 31, at 7 00 P M in the City Council Chambers Our main concern
in the 3400 block is that once those "no parking" signs up go, everyone who
now parks in that block will park in our block We are presently so
OVERCROWDED with non-residents and residents parking in this block, it is
becoming an angry issue My request is that the Engineenng/Traffic
departments consider making the entire two blocks with "PARKING BY
PERMIT ONLY" At least this way, we don't have to come back and redo the
very problem that is happening now, and it will only get worse with one block
getting the permit and the other not At present, almost no one is able to put
their trash out on a Sunday evening because of the wall to wall parked cars
Therefore, we have to sneak out very early Saturday morning to put the trash
cans out, only to find out that people move them onto our parkways and park
their cars where the trash cans were Please do whatever you can to help us
before the situation becomes too grave I shall attend the meeting Sincerely,
Carolyn Bosil The e-mail is dated August 10, 2005
Romo Opens the discussion to the Traffic Committee members and asks the residents
to step up to the microphone when answenng any questions or adding further
comments
Rivera Clarifies that it applies to all speakers and not just residents Asks if
Sherbourne Dnve has applied for permit parking
Sobs Replies that there is a pending petition for Sherbourne Dnve between the alley
south of Washington Boulevard and Jacob Street but that the required parking
study has not been accomplishedTRAFFIC COMMITTEE MINUTES -4-
Wednesday August 31, 2005
Romo Asks if the portion of Sherbourne Dnve south of Jacob Street has submitted a
petition also
Solis Replies that a petition was submitted but the parking study showed they did not
meet the cntena
Jordan Asks if the other streets in the area that have permit parking have one or two
hour parking available
Solis Replies in the affirmative
Jordan Asks if the residents of Cattaraugus Avenue have considered a one or two hour
permit parking restriction
Clemens Says they did consider it but that in viewing Caroline Avenue, which has one
hour permit parking, they noticed that non-residents park there all day because
parking enforcement is a low pnonty for the Police Department and therefore
the time-limit is not enforced Adds that Cattaraugus has the problem of
Washington Boulevard businesses parking their trucks or vans on Cattaraugus
overnight and over the entire weekend He feels the Police Department has
more important things to do than to go out every two hours and ticket cars so
the problem will grow He further feels the 24-hour parking restriction is the
only thing that will work Adds that non-residents park on Cattaraugus and are
then picked up by others they car pool with
Webb Again asks if the residences all have driveways
Clemens Replies that all the residences have dnveways and garages but that some
garages are used more for storage Adds that the problem anses when the
residents have guests To ensure parking for their guests, residents must park
their cars in the street Says that prospective buyers of homes on Cattaraugus
always ask if the street is always fully parked
Jordan States that she lives on a street with two-hour permit parking and that the
enforcement is very good
Webb Adds that there is no "round the clock" parking enforcement Gives a short
summary of parking enforcement personnel and their assignments and
availability Says that enforcing 24-hour 'no parking" will be Just as difficult
as enforcing two-hour parking
Jordan Says that with more families having multiple cars, and more streets applying
for permit parking, the City might have to consider having more enforcement
personnel Adds that the City has to balance considerations for the
homeowners along with those of businesses States that most of the businesses
on Washington were built before there were parking requirements and that a
new building at 8601 Washington will provide parking Feels that one or two
hour permit parking would allow customers to park, conduct their business, and
then leave while at the same time, keep employees from parking there all day
Webb
Replies that he is in the process of mapping out all the areas with permit
parking so that enforcement personnel can be assigned certain areas and not
have to rely on memory anymoreTRAFFIC COMMITTEE MINUTES -5-
Wednesday August 31, 2005
Romo Tells Sgt Webb that a map of all the permit parking areas is available through
Traffic Engineering
Carpenter Asks if it is possible to have a combination of time-limit parking dunng the day
and permit parking only during the evenings and nights
Jordan
Says that a one or two-hour parking restriction could be 24-hours, 7 days a
week Adds that with any parking restnction, current non-resident parking will
move to another nearby street
Webb Agrees that a compromise should be reached between the residents and the
businesses and that a combination of time-limit and permit parking only might
work
Jordan Replies that some of the businesses are open on Saturdays so the time-limit
parking should extend into Saturday
Carpenter Asks if anyone in the audience has considered a combination that would work
for both the businesses and the residents
Borovay Says that the businesses do not need the parking on Sundays but feels part of
the parking problem is caused by employees of businesses in the Hayden Tract
Adds that his business needs parking on Saturdays and half-day on Sundays
Says that patrons of the new building on Washington will park on Washington
and if "no parking" goes in on Cattaraugus, he will have to move his business
elsewhere
Spellman Feels that one-hour permit parking will not stop employees from parking on
Cattaraugus as all that's required is for the car to be moved to a different spot
Adds that downtown Culver City has public parking and East Washington
should have public lots with permits for business employees
Webb States that to ticket a vehicle requires two responses, one to mark the vehicle
and the second to issue the citation unless a resident is willing to sign the
citation and become the witness and reporting party Replies to Ms
Spellman's statement of employees simply moving their cars by stating that if
they can move their cars to a new spot, then obviously there is parking
available
Clemens States that a vehicle parked on Cattaraugus for about five weeks and was
ticketed many times for street cleaning violations but never towed because
every time the tires were chalked, the owners would remove the mark with a
wet paper towel Adds that he, and the other residents, would not be opposed
to some of the business employees being allowed to purchase parking permits
Feels the City is remiss in not considering parking and adds that a City-owned
lot (at McManus and Washington) has been made available to a
Laundromat/cyber cafe across the street Re-states that one or two hour
parking will not work
Webb Replies that if the practice of removing the chalk markings continues, the
residents should call and let CCPD know and maybe a different way of
marking cars can be instituted Adds that if he had the same parking problems,
he would first attempt to make parking available on his property, such as usingTRAFFIC COMMITTEE MINUTES -6-

the garage for car parking and not storage and using the dnveway which was
designed for two or three cars
Says he would like to see Mr Borovay's needs accommodated but would also
like to see more parking available for the residents
Asks if the Committee can recommend approval for time restnction permit
parking or would the petitioners have to go back to the residents and re-file a
new petition
Replies that a petition is a request to the City Engineer to review and make a
recommendation to the City Council The City Engineer can make any
recommendation that he feels is appropnate The Traffic Committee makes
recommendations to the City Engineer and if the Committee wishes to make a
recommendation that differs from the petition, then both the recommendation
and the petition go forward to the City Engineer for his determination The
City Council could also decide not to follow the City Engineer's
recommendation and approve the request of the petitioners
Asks the audience if they would be opposed to time-limit permit parking
because he doesn't want to drive businesses away by implementing a "no
parking anytime" restriction
States that the street is impacted day and night and would still like the "no
parking anytime" option Gives a listing of the businesses on Washington,
their hours of operation, and their parking needs Does not agree the parking
problem is caused by employees of the Hayden Tract businesses Adds that
two-hour parking will not work because the employees will not move their cars
every 2 hours
Replies that if the residents call and parking enforcement issues citations,
employees will learn not to park there
Again states that parking enforcement is not a high pnonty
States that it is not a non-pnonty either, and that residents should call
States that since he does not live in the 3300 block of Cattaraugus, he cannot
answer if the residents would be willing to accept time limited permit parking
Says it was his understanding that the 24-hour no parking anytime permit
parking would be granted
Says that either a one or two hour restnction Monday through Saturday with no
parking after six might work
Asks if the Committee is discussing having one or two hours where anyone can
park but more than two hours would require a permit
Replies yes and adds that parking permits do not exempt anyone from the street
sweeping restnctions
After speaking with five Cattaraugus residents from the audience, he states they
are willing to accept one or two hour permit parking but that he would prefer
one hour parking over 24 hours
States that he would prefer to be more liberal in the beginning due to the fact
that being more restnctive may cause businesses to lose customersTRAFFIC COMMITTEE MINUTES -7-

Motion To install two hour parking, 24-hours per day, 7 days a week permit excepted
on Cattaraugus

Rivera Asks if the Cattaraugus residents support the proposal
Clemens Asks for a clarification of the proposed restnctions
Carpenter Replies that it will be two hour parking 24-hours per day, 7 days a week except
with a permit
Clemens Again confers with the Cattaraugus residents present and says they do agree to
the restnctions as proposed by the Committee
Rivera Asks if the initiator of the motion (Mr Carpenter) would consider an
amendment that would require the engineering division to conduct another
survey after six or nine months and that if the current problems still exist, the
residents could request "no parking except by permit" and not have to go
through the entire process again
Carpenter Replies that he would prefer not to amend his motion because then the
businesses would not have an opportunity to voice their concerns Asks for a
vote on the motion as previously made
Jordan Asks if the motion passes, then would both the residents' petition and the
Committee's recommendation both go forward to the City Engineer
Romo Replies yes, the City Engineer will consider both and then make his
recommendation to the City Council

residents will be notified as to when this item will be heard by the City
Council

longer present Asks if the subject matter should be read into the minutes
Romo Asks Mr Solis to read it for the record

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

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 I 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

Page 10 of 16
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
