Re: Parking Restriction Signs on Summer Creek Lane and Dove Creek Court City staff received a request from Gallery Estates Homeowners Association (HOA) to place parking restriction signs during school hours along the neighborhood streets, specifically along Summer Creek Lane and Dove Creek Court adjacent to Murrieta Valley High School. The HOA expressed potential safety concerns due to students parking along those streets.
These concerns were presented to Traffic Commission on February 16, 2022. City staff did not recommend installing these signs stating the following reasons:
• Based on field observations, traffic issues were not observed by staff including PD. • Parking limitations would apply to everyone including residents, contractors, landscapers, deliveries, etc. • Creates enforcement strain.
• Ripple effect at other neighborhoods, setting precedence for other neighborhoods to request similar signs.
After hearing staff and residents’ concerns, Traffic Commission recommended the installation of “No Parking” signs between the hours of 7 A.M and 9 A.M on school days only along Dove Creek Court and Summer Creek Lane.
Ballots were mailed to the eleven property owners in February of 2022. The City Clerk received a total of nine returned ballots. Nine residents voted “yes”, one voted “no”, and one didn’t respond. Gallery Estates has reached out to the City again with these same concerns and has asked that a new vote take place, and has requested that the parking limitations be revised to 7 A.M. and 10 A.M. on school days only as shown in the attached exhibit.
The purpose of this survey is to receive input from all eleven (11) residents that take access to their homes along Dove Creek Court and Summer Creek Lane regarding these signs. Please complete this survey and return in the enclosed postage paid envelope by March 16, 2024 to:
