THAT Addendum to Report WD-28-00 be received; and 2, THAT Council adopt either Option A or Option B: Option A - THAT Staff continue to enforce the "No Parking 3 a.m. to 5 a.m." section of Traffic By-law 91-58 on only a complaint basis and that a parking permit system not be implemented at this time. Option B - THAT a permit parking system be implemented on a one-year trial basis under the conditions set out in Section 4.2 of this report. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No.1: Report WD-28-00 No.2: Optional by-law amendment to authorize a temporary Municipal On-Street Parking Permit No.3: Regulations (proposed Schedule No. XXXIV of Traffic By-law 91-58) pertaining to use of Municipal On-Street Parking Permit. 1183 " '1 (', ',~.J .! ' ..! to' - REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO WD-28-00 PAGE 2 , , 2.0 2.1 BACKGROUND At a meeting held on June 12, 2000, the Council of the Municipality of Clarington approved Recommendation #GP A-269-oo: "That Report WD-28-00 be referred back to staff to allow discussions with staff on possible options." 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 Although Staff support the recommendations of Report WD-28-oo, which encourages residents to provide parking and storage requirements on private property, Staff do recognize that it is not always possible for residents to solve their parking and storage problems on their own property. A meeting was held June 15,2000 between members of Staff from Public Works and Clerks Departments to discuss a number of options relating to permit parking. 3.2 Although it is not Staff's intention to remove any existing parking by-laws, Council has the authority to indicate whether such by-laws are applied on a proactive basis or simply on a complaint basis by municipal enforcement staff. A suggestion was forwarded to Staff that permit parking be introduced on a temporary trial basis with a subsequent report(s) to Council after it has been in effect for a number of months. 3.3 If a permit parking system is introduced, it could only exempt motorists from the "No Parking 3 am to 5 am" and the "3 hour maximum" sections of Traffic By-law 91-58. All other sections of the Traffic By-law would apply, including obstrncting snow removal operations and obstrncting driveways. Such permits could only be used for plated private passenger vehicles, to exclude commercial and recreation vehicles. Only one permit would be issued per property to discourage abuse. 3.4 The Public Works Department and Municipal Law Enforcement Division have worked closely together over the past few winters to inform and educate the public about parking on the streets during the winter season. Members of Staff are convinced that there were fewer 1184 '. t ~ ! ,. "~e , , , REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO WD-28-00 PAGE 3 vehicles parked on the roads this winter than in previous winter seasons due to regular enforcement. Staff is very concerned that if permit parking is allowed over the winter months (November 15 to March 31), it will encourage residents to park on the street, generating increased maintenance problems and complaints. Residential streets become narrower in the winter due to snow banks and Staff does not support on-street permit parking during this unpredictable season. 3.4 As with any permanent or trial permit parking system, special munbered permit forms would need to be desigued and produced. A by-law amendment and new schedule attached to Traffic By-law 91-58 would need to be approved by Council to authorize On-Street Parking Permits (Attachments No.2 and 3). Durham Regional Police would also need to be advised/trained to look for the official permits before issuing parking infractions. 3.5 Proposed Fee Strncture In the event that some form of permit parking was adopted, Staff tentatively identified the following rates: Daily (24 hours) Weekly Monthly $10.00 $25.00 $57.00 These fees are lower than potential fines for parking infractions and less than many other storage options. Fees must also be high enough to cover increased administration costs and still encourage residents to provide parking and storage on private property. 3.6 Designated Areas In Toronto, Council has limited permit parking to certain streets where parking on private property is limited due to the lack of garages or very short driveways or shared driveways. In Toronto there is often a two-year waiting list to obtain an on-street parking pennit due to limited parking supply. 1185 ;' t " . , REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO WD-28-00 PAGE 4 A suggestion was forwarded to Staff to allow permit parking on all streets in Clarington where three-hour parking is presently permitted but being able to exclude certain streets if enough residents object to it or problems develop. Although this type of permit would need to desiguate a certain street, it would not guarantee a parking spot either in front of the resident's home or even on the street if the number oflegal available spaces is limited. 3.7 Fire Department Comments The Fire Department's main concern is access and potential liability arising out of reduced response times. The winter season is the primary concern as streets are narrowed down with snow banks. The Fire Department is also concemed that permitted parking and/or reduced parking enforcement will result in more cars on the streets and restrict or impede access for wider emergency vehicles. 3.8 Public Works is concemed about the potential for increased parking on both sides of narrow residential streets which impedes traffic flow and could block access for larger service, maintenance and emergency vehicles. An option to control this is to by-law and post problem streets as 'No Parking' on one side, if or when problems develop. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Option A: Staff recogoize that much of the perceived parking problem has arisen because Staff were proactively enforcing the "No Parking 3 am. to 5 a.m." section of Traffic By-law 91-58. Staff has now reverted to enforcement on a complaint basis. It is the conclusion of Staff that this action will result in a sigoificant reduction in parking complaints and it is thereby recommended that Staff continue to enforce on only a complaint basis. Over the period of the next year it is proposed that Staff, with input from Council, monitor to see if parking problems persist in any areas. This recommendation for monitoring is made instead of implementing a parking permit system at this time. If parking problems present themselves during or after this 1 ( one) year period, then a decision could be made to adopt a permit parking system either Clarington-wide or on a site-specific basis. 1186 ~ ' , . , REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO WD-28-00 PAGE 5 4.2 Option B: If it is Council's wish to immediately adopt a Municipal On-street Parking Pass (MOPP) system, it should be based on the following conditions: . The pass will exempt the vehicle from the 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. and the three hour limit restrictions of By-law 91-58. All other sections of the By-law would still apply. A proposed amendment to the By-law is attached to this report. . The MOPP will be issued only for use on currently plated personal motor vehicles and not for any vehicle bearing commercial motor vehicle licence plates or used for a commercial purpose. . The MOPP's will be restricted to no more than one Pass issued per property, regardless of the number of vehicles or occupants of the property. . The Municipality accepts no responsibility or liability in the event of an accident involving a vehicle parked on the street and displaying a M.O.P.P. . The purchase of a Pass will not guarantee the purchaser a reserved parking spot on the street. . The Municipality reserves the right to refuse to issue a Municipal Pass to any person where it is determined that certain streets, by virtue of their construction, width or placement of buildings would make it unsafe for vehicles to park on the street on an ongoing basis. . In the case of narrower streets where parking would impede access for larger emergency or service vehicles, it may be necessary to restrict all parking to one side of the street only. 1187 " ? " . .

REPORT NO.: WD-28-00 PAGE 2 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 General Purpose of On-Street Parking: Residents are responsible to ensure that their own parking needs are accommodated on personal property. On-street parking is intended only for short term parking not to exceed three hours to accommodate visitor parking. 3.2 Multiple Use of Roadways: Public roadways serve multiple functions including: · Basic transportation corridors for people, goods and services · Emergency access for fire trncks which are getting wider and longer · Short term parking for residents and visitors (requests by some for unlimited parking) · Cyclists who must compete with both moving traffic and parked cars · Developers and some traffic calming proposals are suggesting narrower roadways · Increased desire for bus routes requiring wider streets 3.3 Where Problems Occur: Many residents eliminate their own parking by using existing on-site parking for other purposes such as: . Garages used for storage of household or yard items. or converted to workshops . Storage of recreational equipment such as boats, campers or snowmobiles · Purchasing a larger vehicle which will not fit the existing garage · Refusing to shuffle vehicles, leaving one on the street with empty driveway space . Converting basement/storage areas into living space then using garage for storage . Increasing the number of licensed occupants and vehicles · Creation of legal or illegal basement apartments . Using qriveway as play area (hockey, basketball) then leaving vehicles on street A survey by parking enforcement staff, March 2000 (Attachment No. I), shows that a large number of vehicles ticketed were parked on the roadway when adjacent on-site parking was <;1U } Z '. REPORT NO.: WD-28-00 PAGE 3 still available, Of the 93 streets surveyed. 488 parking tickets were issued for parking on the street, although 142 driveways were empty and 243 driveways sull had space for an additional vehicle. During this survey there was no way for statIto determine the number of garages which were either empty or used for non-vehicle storage. There were also 242 driveways with apron space available. The driveway apron is the portion of the driveway between the sidewalk and the curb, Although driveway apron parking is also a violation of municipal by-laws, it is enforced to a lesser extent. Enforcement of driveway apron parking is usually only done on a complaint basis or when the vehicle is overhanging the sidewalk or roadway. 3.4 Previous Reports: Report PD-36-99, PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. dated Apnl 19, 1999. made a nwnber of recommendations, approved by Council, to improve available parking, including the following lot layout changes: I. Require a ml!1ll1lum of two outdoor parking spaces on all lots subject to the transitional measures contained in report PD-36-99, with the exception of townhouse lots. 2. Enlarge the size of garages for townhouses to provide a minimum of 27.87 square metres (300 square feet), subject to the transitional measures identified in report PD. 36-99. 3. Maintain the minimum width for all future townhouse lots at 6,0 metres where th", lot is accessed by a rear lane. 4. Enlarge the mmimum width of all future freehold townhouse lots from 6.0 metres to 7.5 metres for ail future draft plans of subdiviSIon to be conSIdered for Council approval. ~ I ~,' " " REPORT NO,: WD-28-OO PAGE 4 5.

'JL -----.- - , . REPORT NO.: WD-28-00 PAGE 5 · May generate some munieipai revenue dependent upon the fees that are charged and the associated administration costs. 3.8 Disadvantages of a Pennit Parking Svstem: Disadvantages to Permit Holders: Permit holders become upset when they are still issued tickets for other infractions such as parking too close to driveways or fire hydrants. interfering with snow removal or obstructing traffic. Permit holders would also be angered if they have a valid parking permit but there are no legal parking spaces left on the streeL Disadvantages to Neigbbours: Neighbours lose their ability to report and have long-term parked vehicles ticketed. They could become upset when their view is constantly obstructed, erearing a constant hazard for them when backing out of their driveway. A permit holder may not have enough space in front of their own property due to narrow frontage or fire hydrants. As a result; they may constantly park in front of their neighbour's home. The introduction of an on-street parking permit system could encourage the creation of basement apartments, by creating additional parking off-site, thereby causing inconvenience for neighbours. Disadvantages to Administration and Enforcement: The permit approval process could be based either on an individual needs basis or on a matter-of-right approach. I f individual needs were to be assessed. each application and property would need to be inspected to detennine the extent of existing on-site parking and number of registered family or tenant vehicles. This should require a non-refundable inspection fee to offset costs. If a matter-of-right approach is taken. anyone applying could obtain a permit. The next problem arises when apartment. townhouse or basement-apartment applicants request more than one on-street pennit. If there are five legal parking spaces on a street but seven requests for pennits. bow are they distributedry If there are five legal spaces, should pennits only he sold for three so other neighbours can still have some three-hour parking for 111 J. ,. REPORT NO.: WD-28-00 PAGE 6 their visitors? The cost of administration and the investigation of additional complaints may exceed any funds generated. On a moral stand, this may be seen as simply a money making venture at the expense of neighbourhood safety, and only provided to those who can afford it or can pass the costs onto tenants. Council, if it were to follow the Toronto example, would designate certain areas. developments or streets as being deficient in regards to parking in order to qualify for permits. If specific on-street spaces were issued permits and had signs posted, enforcement would be a problem when a permit holder's family members or visitors use it rather than the registered holder. Neighbours unhappy with the permit arrangement may remove the signs so their visitors may park. For safety reasons, permit holders who had parked all summer and fall on the street, could not be exempt from interfering with snow plowing. Therefore, in the winter, they would be faced with the same problem they had before they requested permit parking. 3.9 Establishment of Permit Parkin~ Areas: In Toronto, an area must be designated by Council as a "Permit Parking Area." The permit holder can be either (a) a resident; or (b) a non-resident "visitor" who must visit a resident of the street. Parking permit areas are usually only established in older tYpe nei~.."I.oods, which were constrncted with either no driveways or smaller shared driveways. In Clarington. the only location fitting this description is the row houses on the west side of Liberty Street between King Street and Queen Street. These homes had a rear lane for parking, which was sold by the owners to an adjacent property owner many years ago. The present policy is simply not to ticket that distinct area rather than enter into a permit parking system. 3.10 Price Comparisons of Parking/Storage Costs: $57.50 - Parking pass monthly at Clarington municipal parking lots $96.00 - Monthly rental of enclosed storage unit 10' x 15' to hold household and/or recreation items. i~4 R T NO.: WD-28-00 PAGE 7 5120.00 - Monthly rental of enclosed storage unit 10' x 20' to hold household and/or recreational items. 530.00 526.75 - Monthly rental of outdoor space storage for car or small boat - Monthly permit in Old City of Toronto for on-street permit (appears to be underpriced) $160.00 - One time, municipal inspection! curb cut. plus private eosts to widen driveway $500.00 to $1,000.00 - One time, construction of shed on private property If the municipality were to consider introduction of a permit parking system, it should be intended only as a temporary measure and costs should be at a high enough level to encourage residents to implement other parking and storage alternatives. 3.11 Permit Boulevard Parking: As an alternative to on-street permit parking, some may suggest boulevard p~ in front of individual residential property. This option would again lead to aesthetic,' safety and property value concerns from neighbours. Many frontages are too narrow to 3C(,o . ..!ate this type of access without encroaching on a neighbour's driveway. The cost of curb cuts, excavation and paving would discourage most applicants from boulevard Parkin& who would prefer to widen their own driveway on private property. 3.12 Other Municipalities within Durham Region: The only municipality within Durham Region which has permit parking is Pickering, which has designated one location on Ilona Park Road at a townhouse development. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 The municipality does not have large areas comparable to Toronto where permit parking is intended to resolve problems created by homes with no driveways or very small shared driveways. The introduction of residential permit parking would generate more public complaints and safety concerns than presently exisl. ~J _ . 'j F . , .
