3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Staff contacted local businesses on Welles Street after receiving a Customer Service Request (CSR) relating to redundant line markings. After addressing this matter, the Welder Centre Manager asked whether a timed parking restriction could be installed on the south side of Welles Street. Generally, the parking on this side of the street is currently unrestricted.

3.2 This request had been previously assessed and approved by the Parking Restrictions Committee in August 2018, when parking management for both sides of Welles Street was reviewed. Following this approval however, contractors only installed the signage on the north side. This was not discovered until a significant period of time had elapsed, we are therefore required to reconsult and present the proposal for the Parking and Stopping restrictions on the south side for re-approval by the current Central City Parking Restrictions Committee.

3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of providing medium-term parking to encourage greater turnover of the existing road space in this central city location.

3.4 The recommended option is to install Parking and Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Welles Street is a 10 metre wide local road situated between Colombo Street and Manchester Street.

4.2 Prior to the earthquakes, Welles Street had very little retail activity. Land use was predominantly engineering and vehicle servicing. Post-earthquakes, the land use on Welles Street has significantly changed and there are now multiple retailing businesses such as cafes, restaurants and bars located here.

4.3 As noted in section 3.2 of the report, parking management along Welles Street was assessed in August 2018. The Parking and Stopping restrictions approved by the Parking Restrictions Committee at this time are shown on Attachment B. The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Parking and Stopping resolutions approved in 2018.

4.4 Since the 2018 proposals, over 100 units have been developed in multi-level residential blocks on the former Atlas site. The main vehicle access to these units is off Dundas Street, however there is pedestrian access off Welles Street (though vehicle access is restricted here by bollards).

4.5 Due to its central city location, proximity to numerous hospitality businesses and residential units, Welles Street has high parking demands.

4.6 The Central City Parking Policy seeks to promote 85% occupancy of parking spaces in the central city at peak times. A target of 85% occupancy (international good practice) provides a balance of good usage with maintaining available parking spaces close to where people want them. By supporting higher turnover, more people can benefit from the spaces, with different people using the space at different times of the day, and on different days of the week. This is generally preferable to a single vehicle using a single space all day to the exclusion of everyone else.

For reference, the Central City Parking Policy can be found here: Christchurch central city and suburban parking policies: Christchurch City Council (ccc.govt.nz).

4.7 We are proposing to change the existing unrestricted parking on the south side of Welles Street to P120 time restricted spaces. The no stopping and loading zones are already existing, the above resolutions resolve the length of the south side of Welles Street. Staff have visited the site on several occasions to confirm that the occupancy of spaces complies with the Central City Parking Policy requirements as noted in section 4.6.

Staff consider assigning the available road space on the south side of the street to P120 time restricted parking provides a consistent approach that is in line with the Central City Parking Policy.

4.8 Unless stated otherwise, timed parking restrictions are enforceable between 8am and 6pm, seven days a week excluding public holidays. These spaces will therefore be available for unrestricted parking out of these hours i.e. overnight and on public holidays.

4.9 Approval is required by the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee.

4.10 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year. This is generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Councils control.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.11 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

· Install P120 time restricted parking on the south side of Welles Street in accordance with Attachment A.

· Do nothing and leave the parking as unrestricted.

4.12 The following options were considered but ruled out:

· Provide P$120 paid, timed parking restrictions

The Welder General Manager enquired whether we could provide paid, timed parking. After speaking to the parking compliance team, we ruled this option out for the following reasons:

- Turnover of non-paid spaces tends to be higher than unpaid, and we want to promote high turnover of the spaces due to the number of hospitality businesses and residential units in the area.

- Financial outlay for the parking ticket machines.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.13 Preferred Option: Install P120 time restriction in accordance with Attachment A.

4.3.2 Option Advantages

· Addresses requests from the business community along Welles Street to provide more time restricted parking.

· Provides a consistent approach to parking management in the Central City that complies with the recommendations in the Central City Parking Policy.

4.3.3 Option Disadvantage

· Removes approximately sixteen unrestricted parking spaces.

4.14 Maintain the status quo – do nothing and leave the parking spaces on the south side of the street unrestricted

4.4.2 Option Advantages

· Retains approximately 16 unrestricted parking spaces.

4.4.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not address request from the local business community to provide more time restricted parking.

· Does not comply with the recommendations in the Central City Parking Policy to promote higher turnover over of parking spaces in central city locations.

6.8 Affected property owners, businesses and residents were advised of the recommended option initially by letter. Staff also carried out a letter drop to the Atlas Apartments and, after speaking with the Atlas Apartments Body Corp Chair, had the proposals emailed to residents and posted to their Facebook Group.

6.9 We received eight responses: five in support, two against, and one neither for or against. Most responses were quite short, one resident did not think we should remove the unrestricted parking considering how many residential units there now are in the area.

6.10 The Body Corp Chair noted that he believes wider improvements are needed on Welles Street to make the street more pedestrian-friendly and vibrant and had previously made a presentation to Council to this effect.

6.11 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

6.12 The decision does not involve a significant decision concerning ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

6.13 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6. Hagley College - P3 Parking Restriction
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/440168
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee to approve the installation of a P3 parking restriction on Hagley Avenue outside Hagley College.

1.2 This report has been staff generated in response to a request from the Principal of Hagley College to provide P3 timed parking restrictions to improve the parking supply during the school drop-off and pick-up times.

1.3 The recommended option is to install Parking and Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee:

1. Receives the information in the Hagley College - P3 Parking Restriction Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the Parking or Stopping restrictions described in recommendations 4 and 5 below.

4. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of three minutes between the times of 8:00am and 8.45am, and between 2:30pm and 3:15pm, on school days only on the south-eastern side of Hagley Avenue, commencing at a point 43 metres north-east of its intersection with Selwyn Street and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 24 metres.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Hagley College Principal contacted us with safety concerns relating to traffic congestion outside the college at drop-off and pick-up times and requested that we provide a dedicated drop-off and pick-up zone for their students.

3.2 The recommended option is to install four P3 time restricted parking spaces along the college frontage on Hagley Avenue to address this request.

3.3 The recommended option is to install Parking and Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Hagley Avenue is classified as a Central City Local Distributor in Council’s roading hierarchy. These are a specific type of collector road that are important for distribution of traffic to parking precincts or provide for public transport movements. It is it desirable that these roads are kept moving at peak times as much as possible.

4.2 The college are currently using a small area on-site off Stewart Street as their drop-off and pick-up zone, refer Attachment B. This is causing congestion due to the volume of traffic trying to access this area at these times. Stewart Street has recently undergone intensification with the construction of a large number of residential units. The parking on this street is therefore regularly at capacity which restricts vehicle movements, especially at peak times.

4.3 The college were asked about providing more drop-off and pick-up parking onsite by utilising the access off Hagley Avenue. Staff attended a site visit and discussed the issues related to this, namely that the vehicle access is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. Also, the majority of the concrete area here is fenced off and used as a playground with the remaining being staff parking.

4.4 To avoid congestion on Stewart Street, parents are stopping to drop-off/pick up near the college entrance on Hagley Avenue. However, as the parking spaces in this location are currently unrestricted there is rarely opportunity for drop-off and pick-up parking, vehicles are therefore stopping in the carriageway. This is a road safety issue and worsens congestion. Double parking is prohibited as per Section 6.11 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004.

4.5 Staff have visited the site on several occasions at drop-off and pick-up times and have observed the behaviours as described in the above point.

4.6 We are proposing to provide four P3 time restricted parking spaces on the south-west side of Hagley Avenue, directly adjacent to the Hagley College access. This is the minimum number of spaces the college have expressed that they need.

4.7 Our initial proposal was for timed P3 parking restrictions to apply between 8.15am to 9.15am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm, on school days only. Following discussions with the college, we have reduced the time restriction to 8.00 am to 8.45am and 2.30pm to 3.15pm. These spaces will then be available for unrestricted parking out of these hours.

4.8 Increasing the turnover of these spaces should enable parents to stop in a safe location and reduce the chance of double parking. This will help relieve congestion at drop-off and pick-up times.

4.9 The Central City Parking Policy seeks to promote 85% occupancy of parking spaces in the central city at peak times. A target of 85% occupancy (international good practice) provides a balance of good usage with maintaining available parking spaces close to where people want them. By supporting higher turnover, more people can benefit from the spaces, with different people using the space at different times of the day, and on different days of the week. This is generally preferable to a single vehicle using a single space all day to the exclusion of everyone else.

For reference, the Central City Parking Policy can be found here: Central City Parking Policy. This policy describes that certain kerb side road space will be prioritised over others depending on the street classification.

Hagley Avenue is classified as Commercial Central City mixed use. The proposal aims to provide a safer space for student drop-off and pick-up.

As per Policy 1 of the Central City Parking Policy, Safety is given first priority in this location.

4.10 There have been two reported crashes at this location in the last five years. Both are classified as non-injury and do not appear to be related to congestion caused by school traffic. However, this proposal aims to reduce the risk of there being an incident outside the school.

4.11 Approval is required by the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee.

4.12 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8 We informed Christchurch Hospital of our proposal, and received the following comments from their senior operations manager:

· That they cannot have any objection as they are public car parks.

· Hospital staff do regularly use these parking spaces and they are sought-after as they are unrestricted and close to the hospital.

· Staff cars are often double parked with day shift workers waiting for night staff to leave the spaces at 7.15am.

· The day and afternoon shift change overs are 2.30pm to 3.30pm (our proposal will limit afternoon parking here with same timings)

· The shift change for afternoon/ night is 11.30pm to midnight so not affected.

· Night/morning shifts change-over is 6.45am to 7.15am so not affected.

We discussed these with the College and to mitigate the comments above we have:

· Proposed to allot the minimum number of four parking spaces that the College have expressed they need.

· Reduced the time restriction from an hour to forty-five minutes.

6.9 We verbally consulted with the community pre-school located on the corner of Hagley Avenue and Selwyn Street. They are supportive of the proposals and considered that it would help with congestion in the surrounding streets at these times.

6.10 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

6.11 The do-nothing option is inconsistent with the request from the College to provide time restricted drop-off and pick-up parking..

7. Kilmore Street - Proposed P5 Loading Zones Changes
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/741512
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Patricia Su, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the parking changes beside 87-93 Kilmore Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the contractors working on the redevelopment of 93 Kilmore Street where two new vehicle crossings have been installed within an existing P5 Loading Zone.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Central City Parking Restrictions Committee:

1. Receives the information in the Kilmore Street - Proposed P5 Loading Zones Changes Report.

2. Notes that the decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A:

a. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 76 metres.

b. That a Loading Zone be installed, on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at a point 76 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 9.5 metres. This Loading Zone is to be restricted to a maximum period of 5 minutes. This restriction is to apply at all times.

c. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at a point 85.5 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 18.5 metres.

d. That a Loading Zone be installed, on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at a point 104 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 18 metres. This Loading Zone is to be restricted to a maximum period of 5 minutes. This restriction is to apply at all times.

e. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at a point 122 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 7 metres.

f. That the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 5 minutes on the north side of Kilmore Street, commencing at a point 129 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 6 metres. This restriction is to apply at all times.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in this staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Installation of two P5 Loading Zone At All Times and a P5 At All Times in accordance with Attachment A are proposed. This is due to two new vehicle crossings that have been installed as part of the redevelopment at 93 Kilmore Street. In addition, consultation on the existing P5 Loading Zone adjacent to 87 Kilmore Street was also undertaken to confirm its use.

3.2 The advantages of the proposal are:

· Reinforces the presence of the two new vehicle crossings;

· Ensures that the P5 Loading Zones At All Times and the P5 At All Times restrictions can be used at all times for the surrounding businesses/activities; and

· The parking space beside 95 Kilmore Street is more suited to a car rather than other larger goods or passengers vehicles due to its size therefore, it is proposed that it be changed to a P5 At All Times.

3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved on-street parking restrictions.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 93 Kilmore Street is located on the north side of Kilmore Street opposite the Christchurch Town Hall and has been redeveloped to a Quest Apartment Hotel with two vehicle crossings under RMA/2021/2865. Previously, there were no vehicle accesses to the site.

4.2 A vehicle crossing application was approved on 19 January 2023 for the two new vehicle crossings at 93 Kilmore Street (W154203). A condition of the vehicle crossing is:

· Applicant must liaise with the Transport Engineer for Central City, about the line marking works and applicable signage which will need to be done as part of these works. The costs for these works are the responsibility of the property owner/developer to cover, not CCC.

4.3 Council staff were contacted on 16 April 2024 by the contractor once the construction of the vehicle crossings had started.

4.4 The new vehicle crossings are located within an existing P5 Loading Zone. Changes are required to the P5 Loading Zone to ensure that it avoids confusion that loading/unloading is prohibited in front of the new vehicle crossings.

4.5 In addition, there is another existing P5 Loading Zone beside the adjacent property at 87 Kilmore Street which was investigated at the same time to minimise the number of reports/approvals if any changes are required to it.

4.6 Both the existing P5 Loading Zones applies 8am – 6pm everyday, other than on public holidays. By changing the Loading Zone restrictions to apply at all times enables the loading/unloading of goods and passengers 24 hours a day, every day. Otherwise, outside of these restriction hours, these loading zones could be used for unrestricted parking from 6pm onwards and not be available for the loading/unloading of goods or passengers. This may be particularly relevant when there are events on at the Town Hall.

4.7 If approved, the P5 Loading Zone changes beside 87 Kilmore Street recommendations will be implemented in this financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control). The P5 Loading Zone changes beside 93-95 Kilmore Street will be undertaken by the property owner/developer of 93 Kilmore Street at their cost.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.8 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

· Two P5 Loading Zones At All Times and one P5 At All Times (Recommended Option):

o changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 87 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times; and

o changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 93-95 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times beside 93 Kilmore Street and a P5 At All Times beside 95 Kilmore Street.

· One P5 Loading Zones At All Times and two P5 At All Times:

o changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 87 Kilmore Street to a P5 At All Times; and

o changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 93-95 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times beside 93 Kilmore Street and a P5 At All Times beside 95 Kilmore Street.

4.9 The following options were considered but ruled out:

· Maintain the status quo – vehicles loading/unloading will likely obstruct the vehicle crossings.

· Three P5 Loading Zones At All Times – the parking space beside 95 Kilmore Street is about 6 metres in length and will be too short for most goods vehicles.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.10 Preferred Option: Two P5 Loading Zones At All Times and one P5 At All Times

4.10.1 Option Description: Changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 87 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times and the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 93-95 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times beside 93 Kilmore Street and a P5 At All Times beside 95 Kilmore Street.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

· Currently, the P5 Loading Zones applies between the hours of 8am – 6pm, other than on public holidays. Therefore changing the Loading Zones to apply at all times will retain the spaces for the loading/unloading of goods and passengers 24 hours a day, every day.

· Reinforces the presence of the two new vehicle crossings at 93 Kilmore Street by signing and marking the parking restrictions either side of the new vehicle crossings.

· The parking space beside 95 Kilmore Street is more suited to a car rather than due to its size therefore, it is proposed that it be changes to a P5 At All Times.

· Changing the P5 Loading Zone beside 87 Kilmore Street to apply at all times is supported by the adjacent business owner.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

· Cost to the Council to change the sign for the P5 Loading Zone beside 87 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times.

4.11 Option 2 – One P5 Loading Zones At All Times and two P5 At All Times

4.11.1 Option Description: Changing the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 87 Kilmore Street to a P5 At All Times and the existing P5 Loading Zone in front of 93-95 Kilmore Street to a P5 Loading Zone At All Times beside 93 Kilmore Street and a P5 At All Times beside 95 Kilmore Street.

4.4.2 Option Advantages

· Reinforces the presence of the two new vehicle crossings at 93 Kilmore Street by signing and marking the parking restrictions either side of the new vehicle crossings.

· The parking space beside 95 Kilmore Street is more suited to a car rather than due to its size therefore, it is proposed that it be changes to a P5 At All Times.

4.11.2 Option Disadvantages

· P5 At All Times beside 87 Kilmore Street is not supported by the adjacent business owner.

· Additional cost compared with the Preferred Option due to the removal of the existing roadmarking and new roadmarkings beside 87 Kilmore Street required.
