Title
Amend Phoenix City Code Section 36-157.3 to Add Area 30 to the Residential Parking Permit Ordinance (Ordinance G-7173)
Description
Request to amend Phoenix City Code, Chapter 36, Article XI, section 36-157.3, to add Area 30 to the Residential Parking Permit ordinance. Area 30 is a residential area generally bounded by Camelback Frontage Road on the south, 41st Street on the west, Medlock Drive on the east, and where 41st Street and Medlock Drive intersect, including the cul-de-sac of 41st Street, on the north.
Report
Summary
Residents in this area reported that parking by non-resident vehicles is negatively impacting their neighborhood and requested relief in accordance with Residential Parking Permit (RPP) provisions outlined in Chapter 36 of the City Code. The area is directly north of Camelback Road, between 41st Street and Medlock Drive, from Camelback Frontage Road north two blocks to where 41st Street and Medlock Drive intersect, including the cul-de-sac of 41st Street (Attachment A).
The Street Transportation Department confirmed non-resident (intruder) parking is an issue in this neighborhood. Designation of Area 30 as an RPP area will restrict street parking, requiring a permit at all times.
Financial Impact
The cost to implement Area 30 as an RPP area is approximately $5,000, including sign fabrication and installation. Funds are available in the Street Transportation Department’s operating budget. The cost is expected to be offset over the duration of the program by the permit fees collected from the residents in the newly designated area. Annual costs of resident and visitor permits are $10 and $5 per vehicle, respectively.
Public Outreach
The Street Transportation Department conducted a public meeting on Sept. 27, 2023, to provide residents with information on the intent to establish Area 30 as an RPP area. If Area 30 is approved by City Council, all affected households will be notified by mail and with door hanger fliers prior to installing RPP signs. Residents will be advised on how to obtain resident and visitor parking permits.
Location
Area 30 is generally bounded by Camelback Frontage Road on the south, 41st Street on the west, Medlock Drive on the east, and where 41st Street and Medlock Drive intersect, including the cul-de-sac of 41st Street, on the north.
