In response to Council Member Hutchison, Traffic Engineer Felix provided the boundaries the proposed Paid Parking District zone and who would be eligible to purchase parking permits. Mayor Michael asked if the Paid Parking Zones would only be enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and any time outside of that would not require a Parking Permit. In response to Mayor Michael, Traffic Engineer Felix replied, yes. Mayor Michael opened the Public Hearing. William (unknown last name), spoke in opposition to item G1 and asked if a public hearing notice was published, if a letter was sent to residents affected by the proposed Paid Parking Zones, why the proposed areas were selected, why the fee structure is not similar to the Cucamonga Canyon paid parking zone, how the City identified the two areas and if a traffic study was completed for the proposed parking zones. In response to William's question about public noticing, Mayor Michael affirmed a notice of a Public Hearing was published in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper, letters were not mailed to individual residents within the proposed parking zones. City Manager Gillison clarified the Cucamonga Canyon Paid Parking Zone was created to address an issue where the City had non-residents parking in residential neighborhoods to go hiking. He noted the proposed parking districts are a completely different situation where enforcement is not all day such as Cucamonga Canyon. He clarified Paid Parking Zones in commercial corridors are different to encourage turnover for businesses during the day and enforcement solely at night. He informed that although a traffic study was not done for the proposed paid parking zones, selection of the area is based on the City's experience on other areas with new developments with on-street parking. Lastly, he noted the decision was made to be proactive in avoiding issues before they occur for residents and business owners.
