Police Report/New Ingleside Station Police Captain:

The new police captain for the Ingleside Precinct, Capt. David Lazar, was present to introduce himself to the members and give an update on issues in our area.

Capt. Lazar is a fourth-generation San Franciscan and has worked for the police dept. for 18 years including three years at Ingleside from 1996-99.

Ingleside has been selected to be a "Model Station" which translates to 1 Captain + 5 Lieutenants (other stations have 4). The fifth lieutenant is a "Resource Lieutenant" whose focus will be integrating community solutions and outreach to combat crime in the district.

Capt. Lazar plans to revamp the on-line updates from his office, and this being his second day at the station, intends to notify community groups when it is up and running.

There was a homicide in our neighborhood on Saturday, April 18 at the corner of Otsego and Santa Ynez. It apparently involved parties from Daly City and Balboa High School but no furthur information was available at this point in the investigation.

Residential Permit Parking for Mission Terrace?

Bond Yee, Director for the Dept. of Parking and Traffic, presented the particulars of forming a Residential Permit Parking Area in our neighborhood. There are approximately 450,000 registered vehicles in SF and 42,000 for zip code 94112 - twice the average for other zip codes.

There are currently 28 Permit Parking Areas in the City; the two adjacent to our neighborhood are area "D", Glen Park (both sides of I-280) and area "V", surrounding City College (both sides of I-280).

The quickest way to implement a new zone is to join an existing area (D or V) and three months to complete the transition is not unreasonable. Fifty percent + 1 of residents on each newly created permit block must be in agreement to establish a new zone.

It is really a community parking issue in that it does not create more or guarantee more available parking in the area. It merely places time restrictions on those who park in the neighborhood but do not have permits.

One mile of frontage minimum is required to create a new zone. In addition, 1, 2, and 4-hour time limits are also possibilities without the creation of a new or "piggy-backed" permit zone.
