CC RESOLUTION 4876RESOLUTION NO. 4876
A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 4845 REGARDING
PREFERENTIAL PARKING AREAS WITHIN THE CITY WHERE
PARKING PERMITS MAY BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH EL
SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 8 -5A.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. This Resolution is adopted in accordance with El Segundo Municipal Code
( "ESMC ") Chapter 8 -5A for the purpose of amending Resolution No.
4845, adopted October 15, 2013 which establishes certain "preferential
parking" areas;
B. This Resolution reviewed by the City's Planning and Building Safety
Department for consistency with the circulation element of the General
Plan and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. The City reviewed this Resolution's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted
March 16, 1993);
D. On June 3, 2014, 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 June 3, 2014, hearing.
SECTION 2: Findings. Pursuant to ESMC § 8 -5A -4, the City Council makes the
following findings:
A. Regular Interference. 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;
B. Regular Intervals. 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 § 8 -5A -3,
the City Council amends the 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), both curb lines of Walnut Avenue (from Washington
Street to California Street) and both curb lines of Sycamore Avenue (from
Washington Street to California Street) excluding the south curb line
adjacent to the public park."
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.
SECTION 8: Supersession. Supersession of previous preferential parking zones does
not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Resolution's effective date.
17
Any such superseded part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or
prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.
SECTION 9: Effective Date of this Resolution. This Resolution will become effective
immediately upon adoption and will remain in effect unless repealed or superseded.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of June, 2014.
