Implementation of the RPP should be timed to take place only after the BART parking facilities at <br />Marea Alta the San Leandro Tech Campus have opened to ensure that adequate space is available <br />for BART commuters. <br />Typical RPP Programs allow up to three permits per household and charge a nominal annual <br />administrative fee per permit from $25 to $50/year. Daily and 14 -day guest passes are also sold <br />through this program and a limited number of business permits are sold, typically at a 3 to 4X <br />multiplier of the residential permit. <br />The recommended approach for single family dwellings would be supported by the City's existing <br />municipal code, but is different than that established by the City at McKinley Court, which prohibits <br />all non-resident parking between the hours of 8AM and 5PM on weekdays. Specifically, while the <br />on -street parking in the residential areas surrounding the downtown should be prioritized for <br />residents, it is still an essential element of the overall downtown parking supply. Upon review of <br />Article 3 of San Leandro's Municipal Code, unlimited parking would be restricted for non-residents, <br />to provide the opportunity for residents to park near their homes. Furthermore, Section 6-2-340 of <br />the code indicates time limits may be set by the Engineering and Transportation Director. The code <br />allows for 14 -day visitor permits; however, it is recommended that the City establish 1 -day visitor <br />permits and consider the establishment of daily business/commuter permits in the code. <br />■ 1 -day visitor permits (scratch -off hang -tag): sold to residents in RPP districts for their guests, <br />subject to monthly limit, to be monitored by a designated city department. <br />■ 1 -day business/commuter permits (print-out with barcode): sold on-line, availability of permits <br />by zone, to be monitored by the Public Works Department and reported monthly to Finance <br />Department. <br />The current RPP program does not make accommodations for multi-family/multi-unit buildings. <br />Some cities limit participation of new multi -unit buildings that are self -parked. New developments in <br />San Leandro are being built with lower parking ratios to take advantage of high quality transit and a <br />highly walkable neighborhood. While many residents do take advantage of these amenities, the <br />economic reality of rising rents and housing affordability is also leading to increased instances of <br />"doubling -up" of families in larger units. As such, where vehicles cannot be accommodated on-site, <br />some accommodations should be made for these residents on -street. Unless a development <br />agreement specifically prohibits a multi -family dwelling from participating in residential on -street <br />parking, it is recommended that multi -family and single family housing be held to the same RPP <br />regulations. <br />Implementation Guidance <br />Short -Term Actions: Conditions exist to move forward immediately (0-12 months): <br />• Identify City Department to be responsible for administering RPP program until/unless third party <br />contractor is hired. <br />• Establish Geographic RPP Zones East and West of E14th Avenue based on map in Report Figures 2 and <br />4 above. <br />■ Establish fee schedule and enforcement hours <br />o Suggested Fees: $25/year <br />
