Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - January 18, 1994 Page - 5 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Council Member Corbett expressed concern regarding the conflict between employee parking, people who use the downtown area to buy from merchants, and the residential areas close to the downtown. She asked if the usage study indicated that people are parking in the residential areas because of the occupancy rates. Roy Parker, Transportation Administrator, explained the parking-usage table and said there is low usage, which permits the addition of limited parking spaces in the area. He said there is no evidence long-term parkers are parking further into the neighborhoods. He said there are not enough long- term parkers to make an impact. In response to Council questions, he noted there was a dropoff in the usage of the long-term meters when the rates were increased. The following Resolution was then introduced: Resolution No. 94-9, Resolution Deleting and Designating Restricted Parking, Two-Hour Parking, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. , Sundays and Holidays Excepted, Title VI , Chapter One of the San Leandro Municipal Code (Joaquin Avenue) (provides for the extension of two-hour parking zone for another 72 feet easterly on the north side of Joaquin Avenue between Santa Maria Street and Bancroft Avenue) .

Resolution Approving Agreement with Gannett Outdoor (provides rules and regulations for the maintenance and relocation of billboards in the City) . Elmer Penaranda, Assistant Planner, said the Agreements with Gannett Outdoor and Patrick Media Group, Inc. , allow both companies to retain or relocate billboards in San Leandro. He said, in the early 1980's, cities and counties tried to ban billboards, but the State Legislature said if they did so the property owners and sign companies must be compensated. He said Patrick Media entered into an Agreement with the City to relocate their billboards. He said Gannett now wishes to enter into an Agreement as well . He described the changes to the old Agreement and the length of the Agreement.
