File Number: 18-073 <br />(3) pay stations including fees and extended warranty is $46,000. The pay stations will be <br />configured in a pay-by-plate setting that requires manual input of license plates to initiate parking <br />sessions. Users will be able to pay via credit card, coin and the Parkmobile mobile payment <br />option for parking in the garage. The LPR equipment will be used by the Parking Aides to monitor <br />valid parking sessions and monitor/ verify valid garage parking permits. <br />Re-Parking Ordinance- To achieve the objectives of parking space occupancy and turnover <br />identified within the DPMP, one of the proposed recommendations was to develop a ‘no <br />re-parking ordinance’ for all time-limited parking zones. Currently, Parking Aides are challenged <br />by vehicles that have time limit chalk marks removed or tracking vehicles that are juggling parking <br />spaces or rolling their vehicles in and out of parking spaces, especially in Washington Plaza. <br />If approved, there will be a proactive public outreach campaign to educate and inform our <br />downtown community that will include signage updates, warning notices and discussions with <br />local businesses, the San Leandro Downtown Association and the San Leandro Improvement <br />Association. The LPR technology will have the ability to monitor space occupancy within <br />designated zones and, based upon the proposed code amendment, vehicles will be required to <br />move at least one-tenth of a mile. It is anticipated that this will have the desired impact to provide <br />available customer parking throughout our downtown community. <br />Employee Permits- The DPMP acknowledges the need to refresh the parking program and <br />improve the overall customer experience. Staff intends to reintroduce consistency and improve <br />the regulatory signage to clearly communicate the parking rules. In preparation for the anticipated <br />changes, in addition to the public outreach with the businesses and associations, staff is <br />exploring an employee parking permit program. Staff has been proactively working to identify <br />convenient and affordable locations that are designated for employee parking. Using our Data <br />Ticket permit management system, there is an opportunity to introduce an Employee Parking <br />Program and a Part-Time Employee Parking Program in order to offer a parking solution for <br />downtown employees. <br />BART Parking- Another element that is currently in progress is the update of signage near and <br />around the BART parking lot. Due to previous construction at the San Leandro Tech Campus <br />and Marea Alta, some of the four-hour time limit signage was removed. The signage is being <br />replaced and staff will begin a proactive public outreach campaign that includes warning notices <br />and flyers. The time limits will soon be consistently enforced to provide the short-term parking <br />options that are intended to be readily available around the parking lot. There is available BART <br />parking in the nearby garages, however it appears that some commuters are taking advantage of <br />the nearby free on-street parking. <br />Residential Permits- Staff is aware that, even with the education campaign and a nearby <br />available parking resource, the refreshed parking enforcement effort may bring an impact to the <br />surrounding residential neighborhoods. This is another reason why staff has submitted updates <br />to the Municipal Code. Staff is committed to proactively work with the neighborhoods to introduce <br />a residential parking permit (RPP) program into the area, however, to determine the impact, staff <br />needs to begin by enforcing the posted regulations consistently to identify where the vehicles will <br />go. Based upon the Municipal Code, staff anticipates introducing RPP area recommendations in <br />the future. Our neighboring municipalities have provided successful RPP examples and our <br />Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/13/2018 <br />14
