Public Works Director Ronsko gave the following staff report concerning the matter: Council was reminded of a petition it has received from residents on Pleasant Avenue and Oak Street and from the The area in question is zoned Residential -Commercial Professional (R -CP) and General Commercial (C-2).

Parkinq Survevs Off -Street Parkin The three commercial areas between Pine and Walnut all have provided some off-street parking. The southeast and southwest corners of Pine and Pleasant have provided marked stalls totalling 30 and 18 respectively. The San Joaquin Local Health District office at the southwest corner of 0ak and Pleasant has an off-street parking lot, however, stalls are not marked. This lot can hold approximately 10 cars. On the days that we counted cars in the two commercial onsite lots, it appeared that they were only approximately 50% filled. On -Street Parking 1. Walnut Street to Oak Street An exhibit was presented which shows data from 11 surveys taken on ' days at different times during the day.

Discussion The Finance Department was contacted regarding possible enforcement of two-hour parking on this street. Their comments are attached. They indicate enforcement would be difficult with existing personnel and recommend against establishing two-hour parking. Since the area is zoned R -CP, it can be assumed the daytime parking demand will increase as homes are converted to businesses. Recommendation Since the area is small and parking is available within a reasonable distance to homes, staff is reluctant to recommend establishment of two-hour parking and another permit zone. If the parking lot behind the Local Health District office was signed for customer use and if the stalls were marked, there may be fewer cars parked on Pleasant Avenue and on Oak Street. The City Cour,cil may want to consider asking the Local Health District to sign and stripe their parking lot. r S P u e C h eC A ngthv i sc .s i on fo 1 o�:ed � ; t Questions t .ors bei ncdirected to _ tv{ 7 On mention of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council denies` the request for Residential Permit Parking on Pleasait Avenue from Walnut Street to Pine Street; however, suggested that Staff follow up on a number of suggestions contained it the staff report regarding this matter. �. • �"' i TV n E I; t %--oil I t./ I L%a V 1 COUti'CIL COMNIliNICATItJN PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTPv5Ei4T T0: City Council FROM: City Manager MEETING DATE: November 4, 1987 AGENDA TITLE: Consider Request for Residential Permit Parking on Pleasant Avenue from Walnut Street to Pine Street RECOMMENDED ACTION: None. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Attached as Exhibit A is the petition the Council received from residents on Pleasant Avenue and Oak Street and from the San Joaquin Local Health District office located at the southwest corner of Oak and Pleasant.

Residential Parking Permits The general objective of the residential permit parking program is to provide on -street parking for residents in their own immediate neighborhoods and to preserve the residential character of the area.

On -street stalls are not marked. The area in question is zoned Residential -Commercial Professional (R -CP) and General Commercial (C-2). This zoning is shown on Exhibit B. The attached Exhibit C shows the following information: ° Existing two-hour parking limitations in adjacent areas and other parking restrictions in downtown area. • Existing land use of parcels fronting Pleasant Avenue between Walnut and Pine ° Garages and off-street parking spaces available on residential u5z parcels.

Holm, Finance Director DATE: October 26, 1987 SUBJECT: Request for Two -Hour Parking on Pleasant Avenue, Walnut to Pine Staff and I have reviewed your memorandum regarding parking enforcement of the above subject location anI recommend the request be denied for the following reasons: 1. We would be unable to chalk both sides of the street in the same hour since Pleasant Avenue is a one-way street. 2. Trying to fit a short one-way street into the downtown routing schedule would require major changes in the routes now established. Our schedule is already rather tight because of the PCP Cannery area enforcement ten months of the year. obe t N. Ho m Finance Director RHH/ss November 2, 1987 CITY OF LODI CITY COUNCII, c/o Alice Reimche City Clerk 221 W. Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 Re: Request for Residential Permit Parking on Pleasant Avenue from Walnut Street to Pine Street Dear Council Members: This correspondence is in reference to a topic of your meeting on Wednesday, November 4, 1987, concerning the proposed '_wo-hour parking restrictions and residential permits on PI.easant Street between Walnut and Pine Streets. Without any consideration fo, the businesses in this area, this parking restriction would be a very great inconvenience to our employees and employees of other commercial businesses. Off-street parking is already very limited in the downtown Lodi Area. We have researched the possibil- ity of applying for spaces behind tie Odd Fellows building for our employees, but it would seem that they do not have an adequate number of spaces to provide parking for this use. We„urge you to vote against,; this proposal and to vote in agreement with those recommendations of the Department of Public Works. A representative from our office will be present at the meeting to re -state our position and field any _questions that the Ccuncil may have. Sincerely yours, THE REEVES COMPANY, INC.
