BACKGROUND
In May 2006, the City of Chula Vista began a three-phase process to improve the City's
only parking district, which was established in 1963 and now provides more than 1,700
public parking spaces through surface parking lots, on street metered spaces, and a
parking structure. This process involved three phases.
Phase I
Phase II
Phase III
Preparation of the Parking Management Study
Adoption and implementation of the Interim Action Plan
Adoption of a Downtown Parking Management Plan
The ftrst phase was a comprehensive study of the district's management and operations
which resulted in a report that outlined recommendations and improvements to address a
long history of deferred maintenance, outdated policies and practices and management
issues. This information served as the basis for the second phase which was the Interim
5-1

Page 2 of 6
Action Plan and its thirteen recommendations to address management concerns and
increase revenue for the maintenance of the Parking District. The fInal phase of this
process culminates in the presentation of this Parking Management Strategy, which
outlines a series of recommendations that further promote the concept of parking as part
of a larger multi-modal transportation system and .discusses opportunities for more
effectively managing and integrating parking as a community amenity.
ENVIROI\'MENT AL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed actIvIty for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the approval of the Parking Management Strategy is not a "Project" as defmed under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it involves a governmental fiscal
activity which will not result in a potentially significant physical impact on the
environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060 (c) (3) of the State CEQA Guidelines
the activity is not subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt and/or approve the following:
a) Resolution approving the Downtown District Parking Management Strategy,
accepting bids, and awarding the contract for Parking District Management and
Enforcement to Ace Parking Management Inc.;
b) Ordinance modifying Chula Vista Municipal Code Title 10; and
c) Ordinance modifying the Parking District Boundaries.
DISCUSSION
Parking is an important component of a thriving transportation system that includes many
modes of transportation such as driving, walking, bicycling and public transit and should
be addressed as a component of this system envisioned for Chula Vista. Realizing a
District that is effectively managed, generates revenue for capital improvements and
maintenance, and successfully provides convenient and reasonable parking opportunities
for customers, visitors and employees are the ongoing objectives of this process.
Parking Management Strategy
Recommendations in the Parking Management Strategy support the General Plan Update
CGPU') and the Urban Core Specific Plan ("UCSP") vision of creating a Park Once
environment by implementing the following goals for the Parking District:
. Provide safe, accessible and convenient parking to support downtown
businesses
. Encourage multi-modal transportation opportunities such as bicycling,
walking and transit
. Improve the level of service, equipment and infrastructure in public parking
areas

The underlying premise of the strategies presented herein is to support a more walkable
downtoV;TI community and promote the Park Once concept while being cognizant of the
continued need and desire of residents and visitors to use their automobiles. Parking is a
necessary and important amenity in the dO\VTItown area however, providing new parking
is not the overarching goal. The objective is to effectively manage existing parking,
create new parking opportunities through shared parking agreements and partnerships and
provide continued oversight and improvement to more successfully address the parking
needs of our community.
Following is a summary table of the more significant recommendations proposed in the
Parking Management Strategy:
Cateaorv

Contract Services
The most significant change being recommended through the Parking Management Strategy
is to contract the management, enforcement and landscaping services to a professional
parking firm. In light of the results of the Parking Study, additional review of the District's
performance and the experience of having implemented some of the management
improvements, staff determined that contracting out these services is beneficial to the
District, its businesses, employees and customers.
There were two areas of needed improvement noted both within the Parking Study results
and by the community. One is a lack of consistency from enforcement. The disadvantage
of utilizing the City's Police Department is that they are multitasked personnel with
parking enforcement officers often being reassigned to higher priority tasks. Utilizing an
independent contractor for parking enforcement services allows for consistent service,
and the contract proposed also includes modern equipment and technology that will
provide more efficient access to the public.
Contracted enforcement personnel will issue citations for violations of municipal parking
regulations and be responsible for locating and reporting vehicles to be impounded or
immobilized as a result of the vehicle's driver having a specified number of delinquent
parking citations. They will also report any unlawful act, condition or deficiency, which
may pose a hazard or danger to the general public. Police department personnel may
5-3
SEPTEMBER 15, 2009, Hem 5
Page 4 of 6
continue to perform parking enforcement duties as workloads allow in addition to the
contract parking personnel.
The other identified area for improvement is the overall management and day-to-day
operation of the parking district. There are currently multiple departments and staff that
work on some aspect of implementing the parking programs, however, only with the
approval of the Interim Action Plan was a specific City staff person assigned as the
Interim Parking Administrator to oversee parking district functions, prepare the Parking
Management Strategy, and staff the Parking Working Group. The parking program
includes meter collection, enforcement, processing citations, the residential permit
program, landscaping, meter maintenance, signage, striping, policy recommendations,
implementation of various parking programs. The advantage of having a professional
parking firm manage the day-to-day operations is that it streamlines the process and
provides a clear point of contact for the public resulting in improved customer service.
On March 9, 2009, staff released a Request for Formal Proposal (RFP) to provide contract
parking management,' enforcement and landscaping services for the City of Chula Vista
Parking District. The Finance Department Purchasing Division received seven sealed bids
by the deadline of March 23, 2009, at 1 p.m. A selection committee comprised of
representatives from the Finance Department, Police Department, the Interim Parking
Administrator and a member of the Parking Working Group reviewed each of the proposals
and conducted interviews with three firms, including Ace Parking and two local Chula Vista
firms.
After careful review and consideration, staff is recommending that Ace Parking
Management Inc. be approved as the contract firm with their contract commencing July
1, 2009. The total cost of the contract is approximately $185,000 for the first year of
operations and approximately $200,000 in subsequent years. . The proposed parking firm
offered a $12,000 reduction in their management fees during the first year of operation.
During the first year of operations with contract management and enforcement, staff does
not anticipate any cost savings but does expect increased customer service. In future
years, the District should realize savings that will help implement additional
improvements in the public parking areas.
If approved by the City Council, Ace Parking Management Inc. will be responsible for
hiring, compensating (pay & benefits), training, scheduling and disciplining, and firing of
their personnel. The company will supply properly marked uniforms, equipment and
vehicles approved by the police department. In the proposed agreement, Ace Parking
will provide one part-time and one full-time Parking Enforcement Representative (PER)
and one part-time meter maintenance and collection representative. One PER will work
from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Should the need arise, the City can
amend the agreement and add additional personnel.
Ace Parking Management Inc. is partnering with two subcontractors including the Third
Avenue Village Association who will provide landscaping services in the public parking
areas, and iParq, a local company, providing integrated parking management solutions

that include handheld ticket\VTiters, financial transaction processmg, adjudication and
data management.
Municipal Code Modifications
Changes are being proposed to Chula Vista Municipal Code Title 10 Vehicles and
Traffic to facilitate contracting enforcement services and to provide clarification and
general clean-up of certain parking related definitions and regulations. The proposed
modifications are attached as Attachment B.
District Boundary Ordinance
To implement the expanded Parking District Boundaries, as approved in the Interim
Action Plan, an ordinance is being presented as an accompanying action to this report.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
As part of the implementation of the Interim Action Plan, the Parking Working Group
held its first meeting in February 2008 and has met more than 20 times during the last
year. This volunteer group has been intimately involved in developing its understanding
of parking management strategies and operations and reviewing and providing
recommendations to improve the City's parking district. Additionally, these volunteers
have served as "parking ambassadors" to the community at large by educating, providing
real time information to fellow residents and business owners, and representing the
community on parking issues. The Parking Working Group was an integral parmer in
developing the Parking Management Strategy and the recommendations incorporated
within.
Although the Interim Action Plan approved the formation of a formal Parking
Commission, the Parking Working Group has requested that the group not be formalized
as a City board or commission. The Working Group would like to continue working with
City staff and contract staff in implementing the Parking Management Strategy.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict
exists, in that Councilmember Castaneda has property holdings within 500 feet of the
boundaries of the Parking District, which is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
The adopted FY 2010 budget projects revenues of approximately $568,000 and
expenditures of approximately $546,000. The expenditures include $191,000 for contract
services, $133,000 for City staff services (including $40,000 for the Parking
Administrator), $120,000 for capital improvements, and $30,000 as repayment to the
Redevelopment Agency.
In fiscal year 2010, the General Fund will realize approximately $155,700 less revenue
from staff time charges to the Parking Meter Fund when compared to the prior fiscal year
as a result of transitioning the parking district management and enforcement to ACE

Parking. The shortfall in reimbursements from the Parking Meter Fund may be mitigated
through increased parking enforcement efforts outside of the Downtown Parking District.
ONGOING FISCAL IMP ACT
The projected future Parking District budgets will include revenue of approximately
$600,000 and expenditures that include an approximate amount of $200,000 for contract
services, $65,000 for City staff services, $150,000 for capital improvements and loan
repayment of $133,500 to the Redevelopment Agency.
The General Fund will realize approximately $223,600 less revenue from staff time
charges to the Parking Meter Fund when compared to fiscal year 2009 as a result of
transitioning the parking district management and enforcement to ACE Parking
Management Inc. The shortfall in reimbursements from the Parking Meter Fund may be
mitigated through increased parking enforcement efforts because the enforcement staff
currently assigned to the parking district will now be enforcing outside the district. Due
to limited staffing there has been minimal parking enforcement available outside of the
district.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose of the Report
The Downtown Parking District ("Parking District") is an arena that provides opportunity
to further the vision and goals outlined in the 2005 General Plan Update ("GPU") and
the Urban Core Specific Plan ("UCSP"). A map of the Parking District is attached as
Exhibit A. Both plans incorporate many concepts and elements of smart growth that
directly impact and affect continued management and development of the Parking
District. The GPU specifically includes the following foundational concepts:
. Use parking management to better utilize parking facilities and implement
policies to reduce parking demand before considering public expenditures for
additional parking facilities;
. Provide parking facilities that are appropriately integrated with land uses;
maximize efficiency; accommodate alternative vehicles; and reduce parking
impacts;
. Evaluate the use and applicability of various strategies to provide parking;
. Ensure that parking facilities are appropriately site and well-designed in order
to minimize adverse effects on the pedestrian-oriented environment, and to
enhance aesthetic qualities;
. Promote the use of non-polluting and renewable alternatives for mobility
through a system of bicycle and pedestrian paths and trails that are safe,
attractive and convenient forms of transportation; and
. Reduce traffic demand through Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
strategies, increased use of transit, bicycles, walking and other trip reduction
measures.
The USCP "strives to create pedestrian-friendly destinations in the Urban Core. Although
mobility in many forms is encouraged and needed throughout the Urban Core, the
hierarchy of emphasis is: pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and finally, the automobile....For
Third Avenue, the pedestrian takes precedence and vehicle speeds are reduced." One of
the primary goals of the UCSP is to promote improvements and changes that will result in
the gradual transition to a "park once/walk many" environment. The parking supply
needs to adequately address the demand but "should not overshadow the primary goal
of creating a vibrant pedestrian friendly urban core." The UCSP further describes various
tools to achieve a balance of parking spaces and policies that more effectively address
parking needs and provide new opportunities to ease parking needs. Those include
minimizing the number of required parking spaces at identified transit nodes and mixed-
use areas; expanding the Parking District boundaries to better align with the Village
boundaries; and expanding the in-lieu parking fee program.

Goals
Recommendations in this report support the GPU and UCSP vision of creating a Park
Once environment by implementing the following goals for the Parking District:
.
Provide safe, accessible and convenient parking to support downtown
businesses
.
Encourage multi-modal transportation opportunities such as bicycling, walking
and transit
.
Improve the level of service, equipment and infrastructure In public parking
areas
The underlying premise of the strategies presented herein is to support a more walkable
downtown community and promote the Park Once concept while being cognizant of the
continued need and desire of residents and visitors to use their automobiles. Therefore,
parking is a necessary and important amenity in the downtown area. However,
providing new parking is not the overarching goal. The object is to effectively manage
existing parking, create new parking opportunities through shared parking agreements
and partnerships and provide continued oversight and improvement to more successfully
address the parking needs of our community.
Background
In 2007, a Parking Study was completed by Rich and Associates (URICH"). This Study
included an analysis of the District's parking conditions, including occupancy and
turnover. A matrix summary of those recommendations and their status is attached as
Exhibit B. Chapter 3 of the Study also provided recommendations and strategies to
achieve 0 more effective and efficient parking district. Subsequently, the City Council
approved the Parking District Interim Action Plan in November 2007, which directed staff
to implement 13 significant changes in the management and operations of the
Downtown Parking District.
This report summarizes improvements that have already been implemented, describes
recommendations from the Parking Study, and provides new recommendations and
strategies to improve and enhance overall parking management in the Parking District
that support the City's overall vision for a vibrant walkable community that includes an
effective parking system as one of its amenities.
Management
Since 1963 the City has maintained the Parking District and dedicated the funds
generated from parking revenue back into the District to create new parking and fund
improvements. The City remains dedicated to the original intent of the District, to provide
an adequate number of spaces through an effectively managed parking system.

One of the octions approved through the Interim Action Plan was the expansion of the
Parking District Boundaries, which will be formalized with the adoption of an ordinance.
No property tax assessment will be levied on any new properties included in the
expanded boundaries, and it will continue to function in the same manner as the existing
district. New parking meters will be installed on Church Avenue between Center and
Madrona Streets to discourage drivers from circling the area in search of what is currently
free on-street parking surrounded by public metered lots. Staff will continue to monitor
other areas where meters may be appropriate and/or where the residential permit
program may alleviate parking impacts.
It is recommended that day-to-day management of the parking program be transferred
to a professional parking management firm that would be responsible for both
management and enforcement. Chula Vista has managed the Parking District since its
inception, and it has required significant resources and staff time in an arena that is very
specialized and technical. By hiring a professional parking management company, the
City is providing its citizens, customers, and visitors with a system and technology that is.
efficient and promotes greater access to the parking system. City staff will work closely
with the parking firm and will maintain overall administration of the Parking District.
The management functions that the firm will be responsible for include: maintenance and
collection of the parking meters, maintenance and landscaping of the parking areas,
collection of meter revenue, administration of the parking permit program and the smart
card program, work with the Parking Working Group and report to the City's Parking
Administrator. The enforcement functions will be described later.
Should the City Council authorize the outsourcing of parking management and
operations, a City Parking Administrator should be dedicated at approximately 25% time
to oversee the contract, serve as liaison to the community and organizations regarding
parking issues and staff the Parking Working Group. The FY 2010 Parking District
budget has allocated funds to cover this position along with additional City staff who will
be involved during the transition period and as continued oversight of the management
firm. FY 2010 will be the first year that the Parking District pays for any portion of the
Administrator position.
The Interim Action Plan approved the formation of a Parking Commission. However, to
facilitate input and participation earlier in the implementation process, a Parking
Working Group ("Working Group") was established in March 2008 and has been
attended by a dedicated group of eight private citizens volunteering their time and
participating in more than 20 meetings to review the Parking Plan, make
recommendations, oversee improvements in the District and provide input and guidance
on parking issues. The Working Group members have expressed a desire that the
Working Group continue in an advisory capacity to implement the recommendations
contained within this Parking Management Strategy, and to review, monitor and provide
input to staff regarding all parking-related activities in the District. However, the Working
Group has also indicated its preference that the structure not be formalized as a
committee, board or commission to allow for continuity of the existing members and to

P-4

maintain the more informal structure of the Working Group. Staff supports this proposal
and recommends that the City Council authorize the Working Group to function in its
current capacity.
Policies
The underlying vISion and policy of the Parking District is to efficiently use the eXisting
parking supply by furthering the UCSP strategy of "Park Once" through (a) a common
pool of shared, publicly available spaces and (b) encouraging private commercial
parking to be shared among different land uses and availablEl to the public when not
serving private commercial use. This strategy should be implemented through the
following policies:
. Prohibit or discourage private parking in new development, except for
residential spaces. Make public parking lots available to downtown shoppers
and employees and encourage leasing of spaces in nearby public lots and the
Park Plaza garage to private businesses for designated hours and days of the
week when required.
. Purchase or lease existing private parking from willing sellers and add this
parking to the shared public supply-as needed.
. Facilitate shared parking in existing parking lots wherever feasible.
Existing City parking policies that should be modified include:
. Residential Permit Program: Consolidate it within the City parking program
instead of having a separate department administer.
. Employee Permit Program: Reduce the permit fees.
. In-lieu Parking Fee: Simplify the formula and increase the per space amount to
be more commensurate with the actual cost of construction. The Working
Group and staff will provide recommendations in the near future regarding
this policy.
New policies should also be considered to address the changing needs of the downtown
area including a valet parking program that utilizes public parking and/or shared
parking agreements for specific businesses and uses. The Parking Administrator and the
Working Group should be responsible for developing, recommending and implementing
future policies.
Operations
The key operational recommendations outlined in the RICH Study addressed marketing,
signage, the condition of City parking lots, the improvement of pedestrian activity
through the enhancement of paseos, and the possible development of a validation
Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency
P-5

progrom. The City hos oddressed a maiority of these recommendations in the past year
through the following:
. A new sign program was developed, ond significantly more signs were
installed in the public porking areas
. Staff developed a comprehensive capital improvement program that addresses
parking lot surfaces, striping/painting, ADA compliance, landscaping, lighting
and signoge. FY 2009 was the first year that a Capital Improvement Proiect
(CIP) was created to specifically address the condition and improvement of
parking areas. Additional funds, generated from Parking District revenue, are
being allocated through the FY 2010 budget.
. The enhancement of paseos is being coordinated with the City's efforts through
the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan.
. Businesses can now purchase smart cards that are rechargeable, and in turn,
provide them to shoppers and clients as a form of validation system
. The City engaged in significant marketing of the District through Star News
ads, flyers distributed directly to local businesses, presentations to community
organizations such as the Third Avenue Village Association, Crossroads and
the Chamber of Commerce, and email and direct mail. This is an area where
staff is looking at additional avenues and possible partnerships.
In addition to changes already implemented, there are a number of other others that
require additional consideration and modification that include the following:
. Implement a comprehensive landscape maintenance program in the public
parking areas. The proposed contracting for this service should address this.
. A comprehensive marketing program should be implemented. This program
should include information on the City's website including maps, data and up-
to-date parking announcements and news. The program should be designed
so that porkers can easily access parking information including: maps of public
parking locations, meter rates, citation rates, appeals process, and contact
information.
a Annual community meetings to report out on parking district activities should
also be held
. Coordination with the City's Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan should
continue to promote improvements in the paseos and to enhance connectivity
between public parking areas, Third Avenue and the downtown businesses

An area that requires additional review is parking lot entry and exit configuration. Lots 2,
6, 9 and 10 have confusing access points and are not efficiently designed. Based upon
current occupancy levels and the estimated cost to reconfigure each lot to make
necessary improvements, consideration of possible future development may be
warranted. Far example, lot 6 is a small lot of 8795 so that provides 27 parking spaces
and has an average occupancy rate of 46%, with 33% of that being permit holders. The
current configuratian only has one ingress and egress point coming from a one-way
alley. Visual observations have shown that most parkers make an illegal left turn into the
alley to access the lot. To provide a new entry point into the lot, grade and re-seal the lot
would cost nearly $200,000, based upon a 2008 estimate prepared by the City's
Engineering Department. Annually, this lot generates approximately $2,500 in meter
revenue. Additional analysis and recommendations for specific modifications will be
discussed by the Working Group and presented to the City Council for future
consideration.

,

Enforcement
The City has addressed the recommendations from the RICH study as follows:
. Overtime parking fine was increased from $12 to $25
. City continues to issue multiple tickets, when necessary
. City issued courtesy tickets and flyers during installation of new meters.
. City will consider policy of courtesy ticket to first time violators as part of
transfer to new enforcement
The recommended parking management firm that will oversee the day-to-day
management will also provide parking enforcement. The Parking Enforcement Officer
(PEO) will be an employee of the parking firm and will be dedicated solely to
enforcement within the District. The PEO is only authorized to enforce Chula Vista
Municipal Code violations (not State Vehicle Code) and will not be authorized to work in
any other area of the City.
The PEO will utilize a state-of-the-art handheld ticket writer with an integrated camera
and built-in printer. These ticket writers will increase the efficiency of the overall parking
system because of their ability to download critical Department of Motor Vehicles
information regarding number of tickets a vehicle has received, stolen vehicle and
outstanding warrants. This information will assist the PEO in providing better customer
service. For example, a PEO may note that a vehicle is registered to a rental car
company and has never received a citation in the City. The PEO may opt to provide a
courtesy ticket to the tourist/visitor instead of a citation, thereby providing important
information to the parker about local parking regulations and promoting a positive
customer service experience for the visitor.

A photo will be taken at the issuance of every citation and will be downloaded directly to
the website. Photographic evidence of violations has been proven to significantly reduce
the number of appeals submitted. The website can also be utilized to submit payments
for citations via credit card, which is not currently an available option. Additionally, the
website can be utilized to submit an appeal and to purchase parking permits. There will
be a separate website linked to the City's website that will provide general parking
information to the public.
Parking and Revenue Control
In October 2008, the majority of parking meters were replaced in the District.
Approximately 1,127 individual meters were replaced in all the public lots (except lot #1
and the Norman Park Center) with lOCale C 1 04 Compact multi-space meters. These
new meters are solar powered with battery back up and accept credit cards, park cards,
and coins. This modernization helped address the issue of having three different types of
meters, many of which were non-functioning and more than 30 years old. One of the
benefits of the multi-space meters is the connection to a web office system that
automatically notifies staff if there are issues or repairs required, resulting in quicker
response time. The removal of the individual meters has resulted in a less cluttered
parking area while providing more payment options.
At this same time, the five hundred (500) on street individual meters were also
modernized to POM individual meters that are battery operated and accept coins and
park cards. The plastic domes were replaced and the meter poles were cleaned and new
time limit and informational decals installed. In the future, the City should consider
replacing the individual meters with multi-space meters to provide the same benefits
being offered in the public lots.
Meter rates and the parking permit fee rate were also modified to bring the rates more in
line with reasonable expenses incurred for the management and improvement of the
parking system. The rates were increased from $0.1 O/hour to $0.25/hour for 10-hour
meters and from $0.25/hour to $0.50/hour for all other time allocations. Respectively,
the quarterly parking permit fee was increased from $54 to $135 utilizing the same
formula as previously calculated, which is based upon an employee or business owner
parking 9 hours per day 5 days per week during 12 weeks in a quarter. The parking is
enforced six days a week, however, the calculation does not reflect this, which effectively
provides a discount for the purchase of a permit.
The City should consider raising the rate for 2-hour meters from $0.50 to $0.75 in the
future. This would impact approximately 500 on-street meters and help alleviate some of
the parking congestion. It also would create a tier between the on-street and off-street 4-
hour meter rates. Occupancy of the 4-hour spaces appears to have decreased because
it is currently priced the same as the 2-hour spaces, which are more conveniently located.
The turnover and occupancy should be monitored to determine if and when a rate
change is warranted.

Changes were also made to the parking allocation in the District. All 1 O-hour spaces on-
street were changed to 2-hour spaces. Public lots #2, 5, and 9 were changed to 4-hour
lots. Priar to these modifications many of the lots contained both four and ten hour
spaces, which was confusing for porkers. In the future, the City may consider adding 30-
minute parking at the ends of each block to provide very short term parking. The rate for
these spaces should be higher, at $0.25 per 15 minutes.
New motorcycle parking areas were incorporated into lots #2, 3, 5, 6, and 9. These
areas are designated motorcycle parking only, and there is no charge for motorcycles to
park in these areas. The development of these areas often incorporated underutilized
space. In the future, designated free motorcycle parking should be incorporated on-
street. This will work in tandem with bicycle parking to encourage visitors and local
businesses to utilize other forms of transportation.
Parking Facilities
The Park Plaza Parking Structure continues to be significantly underutilized, particularly
given this location provides free parking to the public and is primarily surrounded by
metered parking. Staff has met with the proposed management firm and discussed
possible improvements to the Structure; including lighting, painting, re-striping, and
signage. New ADA compliant signage was installed in late 2008. A conditions study
should be prepared that provides a prioritization schedule for improvements and cost
analysis.
Bicycles as an Alternate Mode of Transportation
The UCSP supports increased bicycle activity in downtown Chula Vista. Efforts are being
coordinated through the Third Avenue Streetscape Plan and the Chula Vista Bicycle
Master Plan to install new bicycle furniture and develop safe routes to increase bicycle use
through the downtown area.
Parking Requirements for Current and Future
The Parking District currently provides an overall adequate number of both public and
private parking spaces for customers and visitors. The City should consider shared use
agreements for private parking areas that may alleviate parking needs and concerns
during peak occupancy and in areas of the District where there is a deficit. For example,
special weekly and annual events such as the farmers' market and Lemon Festival would
benefit from having additional parking available from businesses such as churches.
Additionally, the City needs to address the proliferation of banquet and event halls on
Third Avenue that require a significant amount of parking for several hours during
primarily weekend days.
The Rich Parking Study observed that several blocks had a deficiency of parking. Some of
those issues appear to have been alleviated by modifying the time allocations in the
public parking lots and the closure of the former Social Security Office. Some of the
blocks that have deficits are due to a lack of private parking. For example, the
Congregational Tower has a small private parking area that does not accommodate the

parking needs of its residents. The result is that many residents park their vehicles long-
term in the surrounding public parking lots and streets reducing the number of available
spaces for customers and visitors. In this case, promoting the park card, implementing
pedestrian improvements to improve walkability and access, and enhancing and
marketing the availability of free parking in the Park Plaza Parking Structure would
increase parking availability and more effectively address the needs of more long-term
porkers and downtown residents.
The City should continue to monitor both occupancy and traffic flow and make changes
as necessary. Monitoring should occur every 3-5 years or upon maior development
within the area.

Staff and the City Attorney's office has reviewed the requirements
tor adding parking meters and expanding the District boundaries
and determined that since no assessment is being proposed to the
affected properties, expansion may be implemented with the
approval of the appropriate ordinance. Intormationai notices will
be mailed to affected property owners.
An Interim Community Parking Working Group tormed in February
2008. The Working Group has expressed a desire to maintain its
intormal structure but to continue working with stott in
impiementing the Parking Management Strategyand reviewing
ongoing District operations. An
Interim Parking Administrator was appointed January 2008. Should
the City contract the meter collection, maintenance and
enforcement a Parking Administrator should be assigned at
approximately 25% time. Sllould the City elect not to contract
these functions then a City staff person should be dedicated at
approximately 75% ttme.
There are two Parking District accounts. The meter revenue and,
the City's portion of overtime parking citation fees are deposited in
one, and parking in-lieu fees are deposited In the other. The
accounts are soiely for parl<ing-related expenditures within the
District
The interim Parking Administrator has attended the monthly TAVA
Board meetings and other community meetings to presents
updates regarding the District. A comprehensive and ongoing
educational program should be developed and presented to the

The District has two different

Purchase new individual on-street meters
that can accept coins, tokens and smart

wireless and solar powered.
Install muiti-space meters in lots #2, #3,
#5 and #7. These machines can accept
coins, tokens and smart cards and should
be wireless and solar powered. The
remainder of the lots could be upgraded
to new individual meters.
Increase tile parking rates for meters and

1 a-hour meters. increase permits to
S120/qtr in all lots except #2 and #3
where the increase shouid be S180/qtr.
The 2-hour parking should be the
dominant duration for on-street parking.
Individuals requiring more than 2 hours
should be directed to off-street parking
areas. For Lots #2 and #3 convert to 3-

New individual POM meters were installed in October 2008 that

New Cole MP 104 Compact pay and display meters were installed
In all lots except number #1, #4 (Parl< Plaza Parking Structure) and
the Norman Park lot. They are solar powered and wireless. They
accept credit cards, smart cards and coins.
Effective October 6, 2008, parking rates were increased to
SO.25/hr for 1 a-hour meters and SO.50/hr for 2 and 4-hour meters.
Staff has been monitoring the occupancy rafe, and It appears
that because the 2 and 4 hour meters are both priced at
SO.50/hour, fewer people are parking in the 4-hour lots, and more
people are parking on-street. Additional changes may be
'warranted in the future after continued moniforing and review.
On-street parking Is predominantly 2-hour parking. The 1 a-hour
spaces that were located on-street were changed to 2-hours. Lots
#2, #5 and #9 were converted to 4-hour lots, and the remainder
of lots are 1 a-hours. Staff will continue fa monitor occupancy and

Staff recommends that additional review be conducted to
determine If there is a higher occupancy rate based upon the
changes Implemented In the District. Additional marketing should
be implemented to advertise the availability of free parking.
There are no active Exclusive Negotiating Agreements for any ot
the public lots. Due to the high cost to reconfigure lot #6, its
location and small size, staff recommends that the Cily consider
selling this sife for residential/mixed-use development, Other lots
may provide possible development opportunities, particularly if
