Title

2 Hour Parking During School Days Near Camas High School

Details: In response to concerns from residents about high school students parking in the neighborhood, in 2005 Council adopted Resolution No. 1022, which limits parking to 2 hours from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM on school days. The streets included in this parking time limit are NE Hayes Street and NE Ione Street, north of NE 38th Avenue; NE 40th Circle; NE 41st Avenue; and NE 42nd Circle. With the same concerns voiced from the residents on NE 38th Avenue, Council adopted Resolution No.15-011 in 2015, which imposes the same 2 hour parking limit for NE 38th Avenue. The attached map indicates the current parking limit areas. With Resolution No. 15-011 in place, many high school students began parking in the Waterleaf Subdivision located south of NE 38th Avenue. The Waterleaf Subdivision can be seen on the right side of the attached map. The City has fielded numerous complaints from Waterleaf residents regarding the impacts from the rise in students parking in the subdivision since the adoption of Resolution No.15-011. With the advent of the construction of the 191 space parking lot at Camas High School, staff recommended that Council consider a holistic approach in addressing off campus and on street parking by high school students. The attached Parking Change Consideration letter was sent to the Waterleaf residents and all of the residents within the existing 2 hour parking limit areas. Attached are all written comments from residents received as of July 25, 2016. Staff has also attached a sample resolution for review by Council.
