On-Street Parking in the Village (District 1)
{city of
Carlsbad
Memo ID# 2025018
This memorandum provides an update to staff efforts to maximize on-street parking in the Downtown Village area.
Background
Staff have initiated efforts to evaluate on-street parking in the Village and identify areas where currently prohibited parking may be modified to allow parking. While traffic safety is a high priority, and staff will continue to respond to concerns regarding sight distance, development and land use changes may invalidate previously established parking prohibitions . For example, red curb associated with an unused driveway opening may be re-purposed to accommodate parking.
Discussion
In November and December 2024, staff conducted a field review of the on-street parking in the Village. This area is generally bounded by the Pacific Ocean (west), Interstate 5 (1-5) freeway (east), Laguna Street (north) and Chestnut Avenue (south). Prohibited parking areas, whether denoted by painted curb or signage, were evaluated . If determined to be associated with limited sight distance, no changes were proposed.
The new "California Daylighting Law" or Assembly Bill 413, which makes it illegal for drivers to park within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present, was also considered along with any associated parking prohibition that was not marked.
A total of 288 feet of red curb was identified for removal. Additionally, removal of two parking signs and striping of one additional diagonal parking space contributed to the restoration of approximately 15 parking spaces. These modifications were issued as work orders, as shown in Attachment A, and were completed last Friday.
Please see Figures 1 and 2 below, as reference.
