HomeMy WebLinkAbout06 - Proposed On-Street and Off-Street Parking Rate IncreaseCTY OF F NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report June 23, 2015 Agenda Item No. 6 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Dan Matusiewicz, Finance Director — (949) 644 -3123, dmatusiewicz @newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Evelyn Tseng, Revenue Manager PHONE: (949) 644 -3153 TITLE: Proposed On- Street and Off - Street Parking Rate Increase ABSTRACT: Staff proposes to increase rates for on- street and off - street parking spaces between $0.10 and $0.50 per hour. Ninety -eight percent (98 %) of these spaces would increase $0.25 or less per hour. Staff estimates that increasing the parking meter fees will increase parking fees by approximately $924,000 per year. The increased revenues would help offset the costs of police and life safety services, including 100% of the cost of the additional Peninsula policing effort included in the 2015 -16 Budget. Staff also recommends annually increasing parking rates by ten percent (10 %) rounded down to the nearest five cents ($0.05), unless the City Manager elects in writing to not increase the on- street parking meter fees for a given year. RECOMMENDATION: a) Introduce Ordinance No. 2015 -20, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Amending Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 12.44.040 to Increase On- Street Parking Meter Fees (Staff Report Attachment A), and pass to second reading on July 14, 2015; and b) Adopt Resolution No. 2015 -56, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Establishing a Revised Schedule of Rates for Off - Street Parking Meter Zones (Staff Report Attachment C). FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There are no funding requirements associated with this recommendation, but revenues, as already incorporated in the 2015 -16 Budget would increase approximately $924,000. M DISCUSSION: California Coastal Commission (CCC) Parking Rate Parameters In a letter dated October 29, 1993, to all California coastal cities, the California Coastal Commission provided that a "substantial increase" for purposes of determining whether a coastal development permit would be required, means any fee increase of 25% or more in any given year or 50% or more on a cumulative basis over any three -year period. Rate Impact The City currently charges between $0.50 per hour and $2.50 per hour for on- street and off - street parking. Staff recommends increasing the rates as follows: Current Rate /hr Recommended Rate /hr $0.50 $0.60 $0.75 $0.90 $1.00 $1.20 $1.25 $1.50 $1.50 $1.75 $2.00 $2.40 $2.50 $3.00 There has not been a City -wide meter increase since 2010. This rate change would not affect the Corona del Mar Parking Lot (Off- Street Parking Zone 30), which is not eligible for a rate change until October 2017 per applicable CCC development permit. The proposed increases are intended to pass on a proportionate share of costs to visitors that contribute to the additional public safety effort on the Peninsula. Residents, businesses and frequent visitors may purchase the City's annual or master parking permits (which are not proposed for an increase), at a rate of $157 per year or $471 per year, respectively, to park at the City's meters and lots. Staff estimates that increasing the parking meter fees will generate approximately an additional $924,000 annually. The increased revenues would help offset the costs of police and life safety services, including 100% of the cost of the additional Peninsula policing effort. Parking revenues are also used to help fund, street and beach maintenance, off - street parking acquisition and infrastructure improvements and neighborhood enhancements. Staff also recommends annually increasing parking rates by ten percent (10 %) rounded down to the nearest five cents ($0.05) unless the City Manager elects in writing to not increase the on- street parking meter fees for a given year. If approved, the off - street parking rates would go into effect on June 24, 2015, and the on- street parking rates would go into effect 30 days after the second reading, or August 13, 2015. Parking permit fees and fines will remain unchanged. Other Cities The proposed rates Comparable Cities Beverly Hills Del Mar Huntington Beach Nould still be in line with comparable cities: On- Street Meters Off - Street Meters $2.00 /hr $2.00 /hr $1.00, $1.50, $2.00, and $3.00 /hr $3.00 /hr $1.50 /hr $1.50 /hr, $15.00 max M Laguna Beach Daily rate $15.00 $1.25 to $2.25/hr $2.00 and $3.00 /hr Los Angeles $0.75, $1.00, and $2.00 /hr Newport Beach $0.90 to $1.75/hr; $0.90 to $3.00 /hr during peak season ($3.00 for third hour at part o Zone 4) Santa Monica $1.00 and $2.00 /hr Daily rates of $7.00, $10.00, and $15.00 $0.50, $0.75, $1.00, $1.50, and $1.80 /hr $0.60 to $1.75/hr during off -peak season; $0.90 to $1.75/hr during f peak season $1.00, $2.00, and $3.00 /hr, $10.00, $12.00, and $15.00 max Daily rates of $6.00, $8.00, $10.00, and $12.00 Oceanside $2.00 /hr $2.00 and $5.00 /hr Daily $5.00, $7.00, and $8.00 Balboa Village Current rates have remained unchanged since 2010, except in Balboa Village, where last year, rates were lowered during off -peak season and raised during peak season to address parking demands. Peak season is May through September and off -peak season is October through April. Although the rates will increase, the change will be proportionate to the previous rate structure recommended to the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
