Downtown Parking Management Plan 21 Typical RPP Programs allow up to three permits per household and charge a nominal annual administrative fee per permit from $25 to $50/year. Daily and 14-day guest passes are also sold through this program and a limited number of business permits are sold, typically at a 3 to 4X multiplier of the residential permit. The recommended approach for single family dwellings would be supported by the City’s existing municipal code, but is different than that established by the City at McKinley Court, which prohibits all non-resident parking between the hours of 8AM and 5PM on weekdays. Specifically, while the on-street parking in the residential areas surrounding the downtown should be prioritized for residents, it is still an essential element of the overall downtown parking supply. Upon review of Article 3 of San Leandro’s Municipal Code, unlimited parking would be restricted for non-residents, to provide the opportunity for residents to park near their homes. Furthermore, Section 6-2-340 of the code indicates time limits may be set by the Engineering and Transportation Director. The code allows for 14-day visitor permits; however, it is recommended that the City establish 1-day visitor permits and consider the establishment of daily business/commuter permits in the code.  1-day visitor permits (scratch-off hang-tag): sold to residents in RPP districts for their guests, subject to monthly limit, to be monitored by a designated city department.  1-day business/commuter permits (print-out with barcode): sold on-line, availability of permits by zone, to be monitored by a designated city department and reported monthly to the Finance Department. The current RPP program does not make accommodations for multi-family/multi-unit buildings. Some cities limit participation of new multi-unit buildings that are self-parked. New developments in San Leandro are being built with lower parking ratios to take advantage of high quality transit and a highly walkable neighborhood. While many residents do take advantage of these amenities, the economic reality of rising rents and housing affordability is also leading to increased instances of “doubling-up” of families in larger units. As such, where vehicles cannot be accommodated on-site, some accommodations should be made for these residents on-street. Unless a development agreement specifically prohibits a multi-family dwelling from participating in residential on-street parking, it is recommended that multi-family and single family housing be held to the same RPP regulations. Implementation Guidance Short-Term Actions: Conditions exist to move forward immediately (0-12 months):  Identify City Department to be responsible for administering RPP program until/unless third party contractor is hired.  Establish Geographic RPP Zones East and West of E14th Avenue based on map in Report Figures 2 and 4 above and interest of the residential neighborhoods.  Establish fee schedule and enforcement hours o Suggested Fees: $25/year o Suggested Hours: M-F 8-6PM  Establish program for the sale of visitor passes o 1 day passes: $1/day 619
