9.2. Expansion of Permit Parking Area "AA" to include both sides of E. Avenida Palmar from west City limits to N. Thora Street and both sides of N. Sandpiper Circle, and establishment of Permit Parking Area "AB," to be comprised of both sides of N. Mallard Street from E. Locust Avenue to E. Jackson Avenue. Resolution Nos. 11606, 11607, or 11608.
I have owned 2 homes on E Jackson Ave over the past 20 years and I support all the streets being permitted due to the over-occupany taking place across Collins Ave. This is the real issue and should be addressed in order to remove the excessive cars that have spilled across Collins into our neighborhood. The neighbors have joined together in unity (as you can see from the abundance of responses in just the last few days) to ensure all streets are included: In addition to Mallard, you must include Jackson, Monroe, and Locust to address the parking problem. Again, if the city wont enforce the rules on the opposite side of Collins, then we ask you to approve our respectful request to permit our neighborhood. Drugs, threats, trash, perversion, theft, and graffiti have all been witnessed from the vehicles that are not owned by the property owners in front of their homes. If the city does not address the matter, it will result in lower property values and the potential for significant damage and or bodily harm as neighbors that feel unsafe may lead to unnecessary escalations to protect their property.
I support to permit the entire neighborhood! The problem has steadily gotten worse the last few years. More and more cars are parking on Mallard and on the surrounding streets from people who don’t live in that neighborhood. There is constantly trash, commercial vehicles and a general level of disrespect.
We support to have permit in place as it is needed for safety our family and neighboring residents. We have experience abandoned cars in front of our house for days, people sitting in car lurking around, and cars speeding through the neighborhood. We don’t feel safe to have our children playing in the front yard and cars parked blocking our mailbox - fearing that our mail could be stolen or tampered. We also experience having our trash cans moved on to the sidewalk making it difficult for Waste Management to work on Friday’s trash day. The permit is needed.
Thank you - Dang, 5206 E Avenida Palmar Orange CA 92869
I cannot attend the meeting tonight, but I definitely support 9.2. Expansion of Permit Parking Area “AA” for East Avenida Palmar. The root issue is boarding houses and apartment complexes without sufficient parking. Because of this, there are no spaces in front of my own house for my guests. They block the mailman, take up space for trash cans, and make it impossible to trim the curb area. They also sit in their cars for hours, smoking and pitching their cigarette butts in my yard. They have no respect because they don't live here. I would ask that N. Renee st. be re-evaluated and included. This street has become some sort of auto repair shop. Bumper to bumper cars with people hanging out at all hours. I'm sure it is very uncomfortable for the residents of the houses nearby. Thank you. Catherine Turley

Permit the entire neighborhood! We're tired of the junk cars, sex, trash, noise, this is a beautiful neighborhood. You have the petitions from all streets! In addition to Mallard, you must include Jackson, Monroe, and Locus!
For years, cars from across Collins would come and park in our neighborhood on an occasional basis and it was tolerated. The past 2 years, and especially this year, it has turned into a major problem. As a result of this problem, Locust (connecting street to Villa Park) has recently become a red curb on the Villa Park section and in just the past few weeks, the problem has become exponentially worse in our neighborhood and will continue if and when Mallard is permitted. As a result we are trying to be proactive and asking that the remainder of the entire neighborhood, Morgan, Locust including the half of Locust leading into Villa Park, Monroe and Jackson also be considered in this permit process.
Excluding the homes that are already in favor of permitting Mallard, I have collected signatures from an overwhelming majority of the neighborhood in favor of including their homes in this permit process. Petitions are attached. According to SECTION 10.30.020(A), we understand that we have 12 months to make this request if the problem persists, but it is obvious that it will as it has already started to happen. We are asking that we can be spared the additional time to “wait it out” and just take care of the issue all at one time. Although the deeper part of the neighborhood is not completely impacted just yet, it is just a matter of time.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

Dear Orange City Council,
I am writing to support move to permit the rest of Mallard Street in our neighborhood. I would also like to request that you approve the permitting of the rest of our neighborhood that is not included in this motion. If Mallard Street is permitted all of the cars that currently park there will fill our streets as well. Thank you,

I am in support of permits for the entire neighborhood, not just Mallard, please include Locus Monroe and Jackson, time to protect our neighborhood and ensure the safety of our residents.
Unfortunately I am unable to attend the meeting regarding the street parking in the City of Orange. I am the owner of a home on Locust Avenue and I am in support of requiring changing the rule to require permitted parking on the street. People from across E Collin’s park across the streets in our neighborhood and bring with it many problems. Not only is it hard to find parking for residents in our neighborhood, but people have been parking overnight on the street and sleeping in their cars. This is unsafe for the residents in our community. Having permitted parking will help ensure the safety of our neighborhood and keep the streets safe for children to play. Another consideration is that if the two adjacent streets are permitted, but not Locust, the problems will even get worse on our streets. This parking problem needs to be looked at wholisticly with the entire neighborhood in mind. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

Good evening City Council,
My wife and I have been residents of the City of Orange since 2004. We reside at 1038 N. Morgan Street. Unfortunately, we are traveling and unable to attend the 5/13 meeting. Parking from outside the neighborhood has been a problem for many years. Currently, half of the neighborhood requires parking by permit. Over the last several years, we have seen an influx of vehicles from neighborhoods across E. Collins Ave. Over time, the problem has migrated to streets beyond the posted permit signs. History has shown the problem will persist if our entire neighborhood does not extend permit requirements to ALL streets. As neighbors, we have signed petitions requesting the City Council extend the permit requirement to ALL streets, not just Mallard Street. As has been presented, the issue is more than a parking problem, but has brought other unwanted elements into the neighborhood from non-residents.
PLESE SUPPORT MALLARD FROM LOCUST TO JACKSON WITH LOCUST, MONROE, JACKSON and MORGAN ALSO BEING PERMITTED. Thank you for considering this matter in its entirety, verses viewing the problem street by street. Let's learn from what history has already shown us. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mark & Lisa Arcade
Please include Locust Ave between N Mallard and N Morgan in the parking permit area. The residents here also want permits required to park on our street. If you require permits for the nearby streets but not ours, then the problem will greater on our street.
I was proactive and went ahead and got my parking permits. For some reason I got a ticket in my truck because the wheels are larger then 17 inches. Luckily I got it dismissed. I own a str rental at 3132 e locust and have paid the city over 40k in str taxes which I don’t know why because you all are idiots. How about you pass this that way the ghetto people will stop parking there shitcars in the neighborhood. I have had a gun pulled on me from confronting the guys doing graffiti to calling the cops to break up a party bc all the cars at the short term rental. Cops wont do anything because they are lazy. This being passed would make cops job easier and more income for the city on parking tickets. Just pass it and stop wasting so much time. Every homeowner supports this and the people who don’t probably rent.

Hello- We live in this neighborhood and on our daily walks we see the results of other people using our streets for parking. Oftentimes there is litter, including fast food trash, soiled diapers, empty liquor bottles, drug paraphernalia and condoms left on the street, sidewalks and public easements. Parking rules are not respected with cars parking on corners blocking sidewalk ramp access. At night people loiter in their cars, some sleeping overnight which makes it feel unsafe to walk after sundown. Neighbors have relayed incidents of domestic violence, people having sex in their cars and similar disturbances with people who park in our neighborhood but do not live here. We are tired of picking up after others, especially when they do not respect our space. We are asking the Orange City Council to extend permit parking to the streets adjoining Mallard, to include Locust, Monroe, Jackson and Morgan. The permitting of Mallard will only push the cars from outside our neighborhood to the remaining unpermitted streets in our small area. Extending the permits to cover the rest of our neighborhood will not only save time and effort, but it will also protect the rest of our neighborhood from this unnecessary abuse. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Maria,
I received Mr. Tay's letter dated May 1, 2025 re: Mallard Parking between Locust and Jackson. I'm unsure if I can attend on 5/13, so per the letter I'm submitting a note to you to present to City Council for review.
I live at 3024 E. Jackson Ave, and I am for the permit program along Mallard.
Additionally, we've obtained signatures from the majority of residents on Jackson, Monroe and Locust who are in favor of permitting those streets as well. This is essential as just the permitting of Mallard will push vehicles onto these perpendicular streets. To my knowledge, the signatures for the side streets will be presented on 5/13 for the council's consideration. It's imperative we permit the remainder of the neighborhood all at once to fix the street parking issue once and for all - cars are already pushing further down Mallard and into the aforementioned side streets as the City of Villa Park has painted their portion of Locus red to present congestion on their half of the street.
Finally, I would also encourage the City of Orange to investigate the occupancy issues at the apartments/condos on the other side of Collins, on Kathleen and Adele St., these homes are over-occupied, and many fire hydrants are blocked with vehicles which could present a life/safety issue.
Many thanks for presenting my email to the council, I hope to attend and support my fellow neighbors in this endeavor.
