DISCUSSION
The City is in the final stages of completing the office renovations at the Public Works Maintenance Yard located at 9944 Flora Vista Street. In an effort to improve line of sight for large delivery trucks and City vehicles towing service trailers in and out of the facility, Public Works staff is proposing to install the following:
• Eighty (80) feet of time-based parking restrictions west of the most easterly gate; parking would be restricted Monday – Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Outside of these hours, parking would be unrestricted.
• Extend the existing time-based parking restrictions just east of the most westerly gate east to the center gate; parking would be res tricted Monday – Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Outside of these hours, parking would be unrestricted. • Install twenty-five (25) feet of red curb parking restrictions and a twenty-two (22) foot loading/unloading zone (yellow curb) west of the most westerly gate.
In addition, the City is proposing to install a twenty-three and a half (23.5) foot loading/unloading zone (yellow curb) serving the senior housing complex at 9924 Flora Vista Street. The proposed changes are illustrated on the attached aerial photograph.
On September 5, 2023, the City provided notice to area residents of this request and that this matter would be brought before the Public Safety Commission at its September 19, 2023, meeting. To date, the City has received one response to the notification in support of the proposed changes.
