Description/Analysis Issue Detail: The proposed section of Del Paso Boulevard and Acoma Street is located directly across from the Light Rail Globe Station. Currently, the parking in this area is unregulated so vehicles park for extended periods of time making those spaces unavailable to customers of neighboring businesses. Policy Considerations: The action requested herein is consistent with the Citys Strategic Plan goals to achieve sustainability and enhance livability and expand economic development throughout the city. Economic Impacts: None Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The current proposal involves restrictions to parking. The proposal is not a project in accordance with Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The proposal does not have a potential for resulting in either direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, as determined by the Citys Environmental Services Planning Manager, no environmental review is necessary. Sustainability Considerations: This action supports the City of Sacramentos sustainability goals to improve and optimize the transportation infrastructure. Other: None. Commission/Committee Action: None Rationale for Recommendation: Parking on the proposed portion of Del Paso Boulevard and Acoma Street, is currently unregulated. A parking occupancy study revealed the subject area was often occupied by vehicles for extended periods of time. Regulating parking with Two Hour Parking, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Excluding Sundays will allow customers of the neighboring businesses to park. Financial Considerations: The cost to implement the recommended parking regulation is estimated to be $565. There are sufficient funds in the Parking Services Division operating budget (Fund 1001). Emerging Small Business Development (ESBD): Any goods or services will be purchased in accordance with established City policy.

Regulating parking with Two Hour Parking, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Excluding Sundays will allow customers of the neighboring business to park. In response to the businesses request, a parking occupancy study was conducted between April 23 and April 25, 2013 during 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It was determined that the average parking occupancy (81%) was sufficient enough to adversely impact the businesses. A letter outlining the proposed regulations and soliciting comments was sent to owners who would be impacted by the changes. Of the seven owners in the impacted area, six (86%) responded. All six respondents voted in favor of the proposed changes. There are 19 parking spaces along the proposed section of Del Paso Boulevard and Acoma Street.
