DISCUSSION
On May 2, 2022, the Transportation & Circulation Commission (T&CC) considered a petition from property owners in the 600 block of Beverly Drive requesting an exemption from the 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Early Morning Parking restriction on both sides of the street between Malvern Avenue and Buena Vista Drive. The residents requested the exemption due to limited on-site parking to accommodate larger families.
Fullerton Municipal Code Section 8.44.080 provides for early morning parking exemptions, providing a majority (51%) of the property owners on both sides of the street support an exemption and the City considers the area off-street parking deficient. In this case 100%, or ten out of ten property owners on the east side of the street, and 78%, or seven out of nine property owners on the west side of the street, signed a petition in support of the exemption.
Beverly Drive is a north/south residential street with a prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour. This segment of roadway has a curb-to-curb street width of 36 feet with one lane of traffic in each direction. The city permits on-street parking on both sides of the street except for the Early Morning Parking restriction between 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
There are single-family homes with predominantly one-car or small two-car garages with narrow driveways, which constitutes an off-street parking deficiency. Based on the majority support from both sides of the street, staff found cause to proceed with a recommendation, followed thereafter with approval and recommendation to Council by the T&CC.
The City notified all property owners by mail of the City Council meeting. At the time of this report, staff had received no opposition to this proposal. The applicant has paid the non-refundable $523 fee to process this request.
