SEC. 301. LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE.
This Article is enacted in response to the serious adverse effects caused certain areas and neighborhoods of the City and County of San Francisco by motor vehicle congestion, particularly the long-term parking of motor vehicles on the streets of such areas and neighborhoods by nonresidents thereof. As set forth in more specific detail in Section 302 of this Article, such long-term parking by nonresidents threatens the health, safety and welfare of all the residents of the City and County of San Francisco. In order to protect and promote the integrity of these areas and neighborhoods, it is necessary to enact parking regulations restricting unlimited parking by nonresidents therein, while providing the opportunity for residents to park near their homes. Uniform parking regulations restricting residents and nonresidents alike would not serve the public interest. Rather, such regulation would contribute to neighborhood decline while ignoring the public transit alternatives to automobile travel available to nonresidents. For the reasons set forth in this Article, a system of preferential resident parking is enacted hereby for the City and County of San Francisco.
(Added by Ord. 312-76, App. 7/30/76)
SEC. 302. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
(a) General Finding. The Board of Supervisors finds as a result of public testimony, evidence generated by both professional urban planning studies and derived from other sources, that the continued vitality of the City and County of San Francisco depends on the preservation of safe, healthy and attractive neighborhoods and other residential areas therein. The Board further finds that the flight of residents and property owners from major metropolitan cities can be traced in part to the deterioration of such cities as attractive and comfortable places in which to reside. The Board further finds that one factor that has contributed to this deterioration in the City and County is the excessive and burdensome practice of nonresidents of certain areas and neighborhood parking their motor vehicles for extended periods of time therein. Since there is in the City and County at any one time a large surplus of motor vehicles over available on- and off-street parking space, this condition detracts from a healthy and complete urban environment. A system of preferential resident parking will serve to reduce a number of strains on residents of the City and County and thus promote the general public welfare.
(b) Specific Findings. The following specific legislative findings of the Board of Supervisors in support of preferential resident parking are set forth as illustrations of the need compelling the enactment of this Article. They are intended as illustrations only and do not exhaust the subject of the factual basis supporting its adoption:
(1) The safety, health and welfare of the residents of the City and County can be greatly enhanced by maintenance of the attractiveness and livability of its neighborhoods and other residential areas;
(2) It is a fact of modern living in the City and County that a large portion of San Francisco residents possess automobiles and as a result are daily faced with the need to store these automobiles in or near their residences;
(3) Certain neighborhoods and areas of the City and County do not have sufficient on- or off-street space to accommodate the convenient parking of motor vehicles by residents thereof in the vicinity of their homes;
(4) Such areas as described in (3) above are often further burdened by influxes of motor vehicles owned by nonresidents which compete for the inadequate available on-street parking spaces;
(5) There further exist certain parking "attractors" within the City and County, i.e., hospital and university complexes, mass transit stations and terminals, and locations convenient for commuter parking, which further exacerbate resident parking problems;
(6) Unnecessary vehicle miles, noise, pollution, and strain on interpersonal relationships caused by the conditions set forth herein work unacceptable hardships on residents of these neighborhoods and other residential areas by causing the deterioration of air quality, safety, tranquility and other values available in an urban residential environment;
(7) If allowed to continue unchecked, these adverse effects on the residents of the City and County will contribute to a further decline of the living conditions therein, a reduction in the attractiveness of residing within said City and County, are consequent injury to the general public welfare;
(8) A system of preferential resident parking as enacted in this Article will serve to promote the safety, health and welfare of all the residents of the City and County by reducing unnecessary personal motor vehicle travel, noise and pollution, and by promoting improvements in air quality, the convenience and attractiveness of urban residential living, and the increased use of public mass transit facilities available now and in the future. The public welfare will also be served by ensuring a more stable and valuable property tax base in order to generate the revenues necessary to provide essential public services.
