As a resident located on Mariposa Ave, west of Washington St, these past 6 months have provided the best parking we have had on our
street in the past 2-3 years and it appears that without much investigation or feedback, that has all come to an end as of the City
Council meeting on May 20th. We received a letter Friday, May 30th asking for our permits back because we have lost our preferential
parking permits due to a City Council meeting decision. I wasn't even aware there was an upcoming vote on the matter nor did a
number of my neighbors. I proceeded to watch the portion of the council meeting where this was discussed, and I was left frustrated
and disappointed. Councilmember Keldorf was right when she was eluding to the fact that it felt weird to be making a decision
without much resident feedback. As you all know, this neighborhood has been very vocal about the parking issues and when no one
shows up, it might mean that no one knew about it. Was there a communication sent to residents in the affected zone or how else
would we have known the item was on the agenda?
Thejob of the Mr. Elias Sassoon and the City Council members are to represent the greater good of the town. This was a very one-
sided discussion, based on couple of complaints by residents on Indiana Ct. At no time, did Mr. Sassoon present alternative options to
completely removing the parking permits from North Mariposa homeowners who pay property taxes nor did any Council members
ever ask if there were any other options or if anyone has revisited the site to see if we could solve this issue another way. There is a
better solution!
Did anyone stop to think about what is already taking place on East Mariposa, or have you tried to drive this way lately?! Due to the
ongoing street construction, we haven't had the ability to park in front of our homes since May 9th and won't be able to until the end
of June! It is loud, dusty and a traffic nightmare while they work on the streets over here. Could you not have waited until this was
over to decide?
We are also the same people who have difficulty getting out of our driveways when trying to leave for work or around school pick up
time because the line of cars from PCH to Kansas is so backed up, and the Pacific Commons complex hasn't even started. I agree with
the Mayor that a major traffic study needs to be done before that project starts because this street is already a huge mess.
Your decision left the residents of North Mariposa between Washington and Kansas in a worse situation than we were before
because you never considered that now we can only park on one side of the street, assuming we can find parking, because you
left the South side of Mariposa with parking permits. So, myself and our visitors can't park across the street from our own home
because you are requesting to take back our permits. I don't want to take it away from the South side because they fight the same
battle, but this was a snap decision with poor research. All of the Turo cars, people taking Ubers to the airport and overflow from the
nearby apartments will return soon and we will be forced to park on Washington North, the only street in our neighborhood without
permits. Do you know what street sweeping days look like? Where do the residents farther down North Mariposa go? All the way to
California? Would you want to have,a parking situation like this in front of your own homes?
While I am aware that we can call when a car parks for more than 72 hours, the issue is that the police won't come mark the car until we
tell them it has been there for 72 hours and then they mark the tires and wait another 72 hours before towing and then 6 days has
elapsed and the car is moved on the 6th day because they are well aware of the street sweeping days.
If Mr. Sassoon had taken the time to return to the area and survey the options before making his recommendations, perhaps you
would have been able to make a more informed decision. After reviewing the parking spaces along East Mariposa Ave, my
recommendation would be to revise the original zone to have no permit parking on North and South side of Mariposa Ave from
Indiana Ct to Washington St. and to start the permit parking area from Washington St to Kansas on the North and South side of
Mariposa. I believe the Indiana Ct residents would benefit the most with unrestricted parking from Indiana Ct to Washington St, they
most likely aren't interested in walking West of Washington St anyway. This area is mostly green space with only a few townhomes but
it provides at least 8-10 parking spaces that would more than satisfy the need for the couple of complaints received. I have included
pictures below of this area showing what I am talking about.
I am not sure how this issue gets reviewed again sooner than the 1 year time frame that was arbitrarily assigned but I would appreciate
the Councilmembers acknowledging that a decision was made without all the facts or resident input and that the issue should be
revisited immediately before the out of towners figure out the change.
In the meantime, I am requesting that all residents on the North side of Mariposa, who's permits you revoked, be able to keep the
permits so that they can at least park across the street from their homes or down Washington South or Kansas.
I appreciate your time and thank you for your service to our amazing City.

I understand the issue of the pilot parking permit program is on the agenda for this week's city
council meeting. I am unable to make it but wanted to share some feedback on the program.
I am located at 1531 E Mariposa, 2 houses West of Washington going North and at the
dead end of Washington going South.
I attended the meetings for the initial program rollout because I knew it would have a
negative effect on those of us on Mariposa, because the cars that used to park on the
permit streets would ultimately end up in front of our houses. I expressed concern and
was told consideration could be made for those of us just outside the permit area. As
soon as the program started, I emailed for assistance and was told no permits would
be considered because we were out of the "city council approved zone", See email
thread below,
When I inquired about it again at another meeting, I was told those of us on Mariposa
who have an issue need to bring our own petition for parking. We do not have
enough houses affected by this permit area, to meet the minimum required, so we
struggle with lack of parking now.
In addition to the fact that all streets North of Mariposa have to find parking on
Washington North, on street sweeping days, we have to park blocks away and when
events happen such as Run for Ed and the most recent ESFD, they closed Mariposa and
Washington North. So we can't park on Washington South due to a permit issue and
the others are closed, so we are walking even farther to get to our cars.
I would like to request an exception to the parking permit program to allow residents
proven to be negatively affected by the permit process to be allowed to apply for a
permit. The City public works department or whichever department is responsible for
issuing the permits should have some discretion and guidelines to review requests for
permits on a case by case basis.
Thank you for your time in reviewing this email and consideration of exceptions,
should the pilot program be approved to remain in place.

Good morning,
Thanks for reaching out to us. The "Preferential Parking Permit
Zone 3" was a Public Hearing item which went to the City
Council, and the established zone does not include any streets
to the north of Mariposa. Consequently, no permit can be issued
for any address which is not within the city council established
zone.

Subject: Permit question
Hello Mr Corpuz-
I wanted to inquire about the process for residents just outside the permit
area to apply for a permit. We live on the North side of Mariposa where
Washington St ends into Mariposa Ave. We already struggle daily with the
lack of parking in front of our house and it will only get worse when this
permit goes into place. We only have 2 spaces near our house because the
remainder of the areas around us are red curbs. Due to my husbands job,
we are unable to park in our driveway so the street parking is vital to us.
When our kids come back from college with their cars, our parking situation
gets even more challenging.
The reason I am inquiring about a permit is that due to the lack of parking
on Mariposa, we often have to park on the Washington St that is south of
Mariposa and during street sweeping days that is the only place we can
park. In addition, anytime we have guests over they have to park in that
new permit area too. There is no other parking available for us especially
on street sweeping days because the Washington St that is North of
Mariposa Ave, is full of cars belonging to people parking and going to the
airport and the overflow from the apartments.
This is something I brought up during a couple of the neighborhood
meetings and I was told it would be considered.
Can you please let me know how these type of permits will be issued and
also, what the process will be for the residents at the end of Mariposa Ave
near the new parking permit areas to be heard when the already limited
parking situation gets even worse after the permit areas start?
Thank you for your time,
Gayle CdeBaca
