Amendment and Expansion of Preferential Parking Zone E
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Amend the regulations to “Two hour parking 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and no parking 6 p.m.
to 9 a.m. daily, except by permit” for Preferential Parking Zone E which includes the
following blocks:
• 21 st Place and 22 nd through 25 th Streets between San Vicente Boulevard and
Carlyle Avenue
• 26 th Street between Georgina Avenue/Brentwood Terrace and Marguerita
Avenue/Baltic Street
• Georgina and Carlyle Avenues between 21 st Place and 25 th Street
Expand Preferential Parking Zone E to include two additional blocks:
• Georgina and Carlyle Avenues between 25 th and 26 th Streets
2. Approve the attached Resolution amending Preferential Parking Zone E and
amending Resolution 9344 CCS (Resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa
Monica Re-Establishing Various Preferential Parking Zones) by replacing Exhibit A.
Executive Summary
Residents of the 2500 block of Georgina Avenue between 25 th and 26 th Streets have
submitted a petition to be included in the existing preferential parking zone. They assert
that nonresident parking in the neighborhood generated by 26 th Street restaurants is
impacting their ability to find parking near their homes, particularly at night. In addition,
the residents of the 2400 block of Georgina Avenue between 24 th and 25 th Streets have
petitioned to add overnight restrictions to the current two hour daytime restrictions. Staff
recommends expanding Zone E to include the 2500 blocks of both Georgina and
Carlyle Avenues and amending the preferential parking regulations in this Zone E to
address non-resident parking. The proposed regulations are: “Two hour parking 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. and no parking 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. daily, except by permit.” Significant additional
revenue is not anticipated as a result of this action. New signage would be required at
an estimated cost of $1,000.
