4. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 1537 TO AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 5331(N)-(O) FOR THE CITY’S PREFERENTIAL PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM
Adoption of Ordinance No. 1537 amends Tustin City Code Section 5331(n)-(o) by implementing the Tustin Residential Parking Action Plan (PAP) on public residential streets and reflects the City Council’s approval of the Updated Guidelines which also includes the introduction of a Permit Parking District Map encompassing public residential streets eligible for permit parking.
Per City Council direction at the October 3, 2023, City Council Meeting, the permit parking district map has been updated, amending the boundary between Districts 7 and 9 to Browning Avenue (Attachment 1).
Additionally, public input on the permit parking program discussed Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology and requested information on Care-Taker parking permits.
* The Tustin Police Department has recently procured three (3) ALPR’s to equip two parking control vehicles and one traffic collision investigation vehicle to assist with and streamline parking enforcement efforts.
* Residents that reside within a permit parking district that require assisted care and parking for such care, are eligible for up to 75 guest permits per six-months. To date, the City has not experienced challenges with overnight parking access for such care-takers, but will evaluate any such request on a case-by-case basis.
