Resolution 15234CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 15234
AUTHORIZING RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING PROGRAM FOR
PUBLIC STREETS WITHIN COLUMBIA HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION PURSUANT TO ALAMEDA MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 12-17.6(g)
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted revisions to Alameda Municipal Code
section 12-17 to permit homeowners associations to apply for a preferential parking zone
(also known as a residential permit parking program); and
WHEREAS, the Columbia Homeowners Association (HOA) has submitted such an
application; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department has reviewed the application and found
it to comply with Alameda Municipal Code section 12-17.6(g); and
WHEREAS, the public streets within the Columbia HOA are currently affected by
spillover parking generated by the nearby ferry terminal, and such spillover parking will
increase as neighboring homeowner associations with private streets move to prohibit
parking by ferry users on their private streets; and
WHEREAS, approval of this residential permit parking program is part of a multi-
pronged approach to ensure ferry users continued access to the ferry terminal while
minimizing detrimental effects to adjacent residential neighbors; and
WHEREAS, the Board of the Columbia HOA has agreed to assume the costs for
handling all aspects of their members' application and issuance of permits and the costs
for installation and/or maintenance of required signage; to ensure their members who
apply for permits are using their parking garages for parking; and to coordinate the timing
of the issuance of permits with other elements of the multi-pronged approach to ensure
continued access to the ferry while minimizing the impacts of spillover parking to adjacent
residential neighbors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the public streets within the Columbia
HOA be deemed a preferential parking zone.
I, the undersigned, hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was duly and
regularly adopted and passed by the Council of the City of Alameda in a regular meeting
assembled on the 21st day of February, 2017, by the following vote to wit:
AYES: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese, Oddie, Vella and
