CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 3
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council coups Od QmmA
FROM: Public Works Department �� ®, 5 b Zia /Do
SUBJECT: PARKING METER RATE INCREASES
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt a resolution establishing parking meter fees in off - street parking lots.
2. Introduce an ordinance establishing parking meter fees for on- street meters and
pass a second reading on June 13, 2000.
DISCUSSION:
The City's consultant for the Balboa Peninsula Parking Management Program made a
number of recommendations on how the City's limited supply of parking spaces could
be more effectively managed. These recommendations resulted from their knowledge
of parking programs in other coastal cities as well as a series of community workshops.
One of those recommendations was to increase the hourly meter fees for meters that
• are currently charging less than $1.00 per hour. The consultant's recommendations
were discussed several times by the City Council including most recently at the Study
Session on May 9, 2000.
The City establishes meter operations by resolution for meters in off - street parking lots.
The proposed changes are an increase in rate from $.25 /hour to $.50 /hour in the
Cannery Village Parking Lot and the Central Lot in the Lido Marina Village area. In the
Balboa Village area the rate would be increased from $.50 /hour to $1.00 /hour in the
Palm Street Lot and in the small Washington Street Lot from $.25 /hour to $1.00 /hour.
The rates for the on- street meters are established by ordinance. The recommendation
is an increase to $1.00 /hour for the meters on Balboa Boulevard, Palm Street, and Bay
Avenue in Balboa Village. The on- street meters in Cannery Village and the Lido area
near City Hall will have a rate increase to $.50 /hour.
The changes for both on- street and off - street meters are shown on Exhibit 1.

STUDY SESSION AGENDA
ITEM NO. ss2
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department COUNCIL AGENDA
NO. 3
SUBJECT: PARKING METER FEE INCREASE
DISCUSSION:
The City Council approved several actions identified in the Balboa Peninsula Parking
Management Plan on February 8th of this year. Actions approved included an increase
in parking meter fees. All fees in the Balboa Village area were to be increased to $1.00
per hour. The on- street meters in Balboa Village are currently $.25 per hour and those
in the Palm Street Parking Lot are $.50 per hour. The action also included raising the
meter rates in the Lido area from $.25 to $.50 per hour.
Staff recommends all meter fees that are currently $.25 per hour be raised to $.50 per
hour. In addition to the meters in the Lido area, this would include the meters along
•Coast Highway, in the Mariners Mile Parking Lot, and throughout Cannery Village. The
existing meter rates are shown on Attachment 1. Meters with a $.25 per hour rate have
been that rate since 1989.
Staff contacted the adjacent cities of Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach to compare
parking meter rates. Laguna Beach charges $1.00 per hour for all of their meters, both
on- street and in parking structures. Huntington Beach currently charges $1.00 at most
of their meters. Meter fees along Pacific Coast Highway and in beach lots are $1.50
per hour. Huntington Beach recently introduced an ordinance to increase fees to $2.00
per hour in their downtown parking structure and along Main Street. As of the writing of
this memo, no final action has been taken due to extensive opposition to the increase.
The consultant who put together the Parking Management Program outlined the
benefits of increasing meter rates:
• Increasing $.25 per hour fee would increase turnover of prime spaces. Some
employees park in the closest spaces and limit convenient access to patrons.
• Increasing the rate would bring the City of Newport Beach rates more in line with
what other beach cities charge for parking.
Leaders of the Balboa Merchants and Owners Association indicated support for the
higher rates in Balboa Village. One of their concerns is that on busy beach days, some
beach goers come back and feed the meters every hour because it costs much less
�� than parking at the Balboa Pier Parking Lot for $1.50 per hour. They feel higher meter

fees will discourage both beach visitors and local business employees from taking the
limited spaces in Balboa Village.
In summary, the consultant for the Parking Management Program recommended
increasing meter rates in a report originally presented to the City Council on September
13, 1999. The report specifically recommended an annual increase of $.25 per hour for
three consecutive years in the Balboa Village area. That would raise the current meter
fees from $.25 to $1.00 per hour at the end of three years. The report also
recommended a one -time fee increase from $.25 per hour to $.50 per hour in the
McFadden Plaza /Lido /Cannery Village area. The Council referred the report to the
Promote Revitalization of the Peninsula (PROP) committee for review and
recommendations. PROP returned to the City Council on February 8, 2000, with a
recommendation to increase meter fees in Balboa Village from $.25 per hour to $1.00
per hour and in the Lido area from $.25 per hour to $.50 per hour. Staff interpreted the
PROP recommendation relative to the "Lido area" to mean all of the meters on the
Peninsula currently at the $.25 per hour rate including those in Cannery Village and in
the area between Cannery Village and McFadden Plaza.
Should the City Council reaffirm approval of the PROP recommendation, staff will
prepare a draft resolution to increase fees in metered lots; and a draft ordinance to
increase fees for on- street parking meters, which will be submitted to Council for
consideration.
