On October 15, 2013 the City Council held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding, in part, this Resolution including, without limitation, information provided to the Council by the Police Department; and E. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the evidence presented to the Council at its October 15, 2013 hearing. SECTION 2: Findings. Pursuant to ESMC § 8-5A-4, the City Council makes the following findings: A. Regular lnterference. That nonresident vehicles substantially and regularly interfere with the use of the majority of parking spaces within Zone 1 (as defined below). This is primarily attributable to the use of parking spaces by employees of neighboring businesses; 1 B. Regular/nterva/s. Such interFerence occurs on a daily basis within Zone 1, particularly during work days; C. Noise. These nonresident vehicles significantly contribute to unreasonable noise; traffic hazards; and environmental pollution within Zone 1; and D. Shortage Of Parking Spaces. Residents within Zone 1 are unable to reasonably and conveniently utilize parking spaces that are adjacent to their dwelling units. SECTION 3: Creation of Zone 1 Preferential Parking Area. Pursuant to ESMC § S-5A-3, the City Council establishes a Zone 1 Preferential Parking Area which is graphically depicted in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference, and described as follows: "ZONE 1. No parking between the hours of 10:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M. and between 2:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, except by permit on the west curb line of Washington Street (from Maple Avenue to Walnut Avenue) and, also, both curb lines of Walnut Avenue (from Washington Street to California Street)." SECTION 4: Parking Restrictions. Vehicles parking within Zone 1 must comply with ESMC Chapter 8-5A including, without limitation, ESMC § 8-5A-10. The Police Chief, or designee, is authorized to enforce this Resolution. SECTION 5: Permit Fees. Pursuant to ESMC § 8-5A-7(A)(4), the City Council establishes a fee of$0 for obtaining a permit pursuant to this Resolution. SECTION 6: Environmental Assessment. This Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15305 (Class 5 — Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations). The project involves a negligible expansion of use; there is only a minor change in the operation of an existing use. The project would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and it can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. SECTION 7: Notification. The Public Works Director, or designee, is authorized to erect such street signs as are needed to properly notify the general public of the restrictions on parking in the preferential parking zone created through this Resolution.
