on the Arte project, such as Arte being required to comply with a Parking Management Plan. He noted that if Arte
is not maximizing and using their parking spaces for resident parking the City could impose a Public Nuisance
action against them to enforce the condition of approval. He noted that any violation of a Condition of Approval
constitutes a public nuisance. He stated that staff is monitoring to make sure Arte Apartments is complying.

District, remedy options, compliance with the Parking Management Plan, Condition of Approval for Arte
apartments, request for City staff to be included in the inspections of Arte apartments and the lack of oversight
and accountability on Arte's behalf.
Assistant City Attorney Ghirelli stated that parking on a public street is legal and that the most effective tool to
remove vehicles would be by implementing a Permit Parking District but there are other remedies for the City to
apply pressure for Arte to find alternative arrangements to alleviate the overflow parking issue on site.
Mayor Pro Tern Kennedy suggested that the item be continued to a future City Council meeting to allow staff to
explore other alternative remedies and work with Arte apartments to find a solution.
Mayor Michael noted that not adopting the Permit Parking District may prolong the current overflow parking issue
associated with Arte apartments but that he would like Arte apartments to be accountable and solve the parking
issues in the neighborhood.
