On November 25, 2014, the City Council took the initial steps to approve Programs Two through Five, but requested additional information pertaining to Program One. Program One — Residential Permit Parking Program (RP3): the establishment of an overnight resident permit parking program (RP3) for the area west of Balboa Village between 7th Street and Adams Street. The annual permit fee has previously been established, but program parameters and a daily guest pass fee must also be established. Program Two — Parking Management District Plan and Overlay District: the creation of a Parking Management District Plan and Overlay District that modifies required off-street parking requirements for commercial uses within Balboa Village. Program Three — Parking Benefit District: the creation of a parking benefit district related to how parking revenues within Balboa Village will be budgeted and spent. Program Four— Public Parking Fees: the modification of both on-street and off-street parking meter fees on public property within Balboa Village. Program Five — Other Parking Programs and Permits: the establishment of a voluntary employee parking permit for Balboa Village businesses; a non-peak season resident parking permit to park in Balboa Village; and a commercial patron parking validation program. Fees for these permits need to be adopted. Council Action: 1) The Ordinance to adopt the RP3 was not approved on the basis that the 2012, survey conducted by the City did not indicate a majority of residents were in support of the program. The Council directed staff to conduct another survey to better gauge whether or not there is majority support for the program. 2) Introduced ordinances creating Parking Management District Plan and Overlay District, establishing Parking Benefit District, and modifying parking meter rates. 3) Approved resolutions establishing funding for Area Benefit District Reserve, revising parking fees for off-street parking, and establishment of permit program for employees, resident parking in the Village, and patron validation.
