The expansion of the residential permit parking by the Traffic Engineer satisfies the above - described policy objectives and these objectives are relevant to the entire area covered by Administrative Order 58 -10 -17 as well as the Appellants' properties. 2. The proposal would meet the criteria for approval set forth in R- 5.040 -F had an application been submitted; Eugene Administrative Rule R- 5.040- Fprovides that approval of an application for establishment of a residential permit parking zone shall be based upon consideration of the following factors: a. Whether there is consistently a significant amount of long -term spill- over parking from nearby high employment site or traffic generators, As a prelude to the adoption of Administrative Order 58- 10-17, the Eugene Traffic engineer considered the responses to the July 2010 mailing to 1300 addresses in the area affected by the proposed residential permit parking zone restrictions. The SUNA Board of Directors has expressed concerns about the significant impact on parking spot demand occasioned by University students and staff and due to special events held at the University. Twelve persons testified at the June 3, 2011 hearing on the appeals of Administrative Order 58- 10-17. Five of these individuals testified in favor of the administrative order, seven, including the three appellants, testified in opposition. b. Whether residents frequently find it difficult to park on street within close proximity to their residences; The City Traffic Engineer considered the feedback from the July 2010 flyers where numerous individuals complained that the presence of unregulated parking made it very difficult for them or their guests to find a parking spot near their residence. in most cases during the work -week, the spaces filled up early in the morning and remained that way until after 5:00 pm. The effectiveness in creating parking spaces through two -hour parking restrictions was demonstrated by a photo display of Potter Street submitted by Appellant Sheri Engelbert.
