Recommendation to request City Manager to work with appropriate staff and report back to City Council in 60 days on the potential of drafting an ordinance allowing for driveway parking permits Citywide.
Motion carries. Next item, please, which I believe is 14. Communication from Councilwoman Price Councilmember Pierce, Councilwoman Mongo Recommendation to request City Manager to work with appropriate staff and report back to City Council in 60 days on the potential of drafting an ordinance allowing for driveway parking permits citywide. On price. I'm pressing all the wrong buttons. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. We've brought this item forward as a series of parking items that my staff has brought forward that are responsive to ideas and comments that we've heard from residents regarding parking and parking impacted areas. A lot of our parking impacted areas are historic neighborhoods with limited parking and areas where residents are right next to business corridors, leading to major parking impacts for both the residents and the business customers and employees. And these are the parts of the city where we need to think about creative solutions. The city has undergone studies and added parking throughout the various neighborhoods to try to improve the situation. But obviously we need to do more to improve. One way of better. Managing our available street parking would be to allow a resident to park on the street in front of their own driveway. If residents were allowed to apply for a permit to parallel park at the curb in front of their own driveway. This could create additional spaces and relieve some parking issues and many of our Long Beach neighborhoods. Currently, the city allows residents to apply for a permit to block their own driveway only in designated parking impacted neighborhoods. But this permit process could be a benefit to neighborhoods throughout the city that are not already designated as parking impacted, but may still have issues related to available street parking. Moving forward with this will allow Long Beach residents to be able to park in front of their own driveway in order to create at least one additional parking spot on their street. That could be used by residents who are using the street and struggling with parking every day. So I ask my colleagues to support this item. Let me, ringa. I support the Senate. No public comment. Please cast your votes.
