Findings. The City Council finds, as a result of evidence and public testimony generated
by staff and the Jack London District Association that the continued viability of
the Jack London District depends on the preservation of safe, healthy and attractive
neighborhoods and commercial areas. The City Council further finds that one factor
that has detracted from the safety, health and attractiveness of the Jack London District
is the excessive and burdensome practice of non-residents to the Jack London District
parking motor vehicles for extended periods of time therein on the streets within
the District. Since at any one time a large surplus of motor vehicles over the available
on and off street parking spaces exists in the Jack London District due to construction
activities, changes in development patterns and the impending temporary loss of the
Amtrak surface lot, this condition temporarily detracts from a healthy and vital urban
community. An interim system of mixed use permit parking will serve to reduce the
number of non-residents parking in the Jack London District and thus promote the general
public welfare. The system of interim mixed use parking, as enacted by the ordinance
codified in this chapter, will serve to promote the safety and health of the residents,
employees, business owners and visitors to the Jack London District by reducing vehicle
travel, noise and pollution; promoting improvements in air quality, the convenience
and attractiveness of urban residential living, and the increased use of mass transit
facilities available now and in the future.
